In this episode we’re diving deep into the neuroscience of trauma.
What are the adaptive and maladaptive responses to stress and how can we understand the necessary mechanics behind coping with cataclysmic events like war… as well as identifying the very healthy and natural processes of grief so that we can bring more awareness, accuracy and compassion to the healing journey.
We address the ways we can break through the stigma around when things AREN’T feeling so good.
We discuss how we, as individuals in society, can intervene so that we can be less private about our struggles… which we’re all going through… so that we can create a safer emotional world for us all.
