06 MIRROR-PAIN & TRAUMA with Aurore Dupont-Sagorin

This weeks guest is the French filmmaker & journalist Aurore Dupont-Sagorin. Aurore has mirror-pain-synesthesia, a form of synesthesia that puts empathy to an extreme. Watching other people or movie character's getting hurt leads to her feeling that same pain in her own body. So fascinating!! We also hear from Prof Jamie Ward from the University of Sussex on synesthesia research and the connection to mental health problems such as PTSD.
