In a powerful piece for The Times of Israel, Dr. Boaz Shalgi, Chief Psychologist at NATAL, introduces the concept of “rolling trauma” — the ongoing, cumulative mental health impact of the Iran war, October 7, and the continued missile strikes on Israeli communities. Unlike a single traumatic event, rolling trauma is a snowball of repeated crises, creating long-term challenges not only for survivors but for the therapists and support teams who care for them.
