How does trauma affect your brain and your body? What’s the impact if your primary caregivers are not attuned to your needs as a baby? Can unexpressed emotion cause pain in your body?
We weave our way through different theories of what trauma is, how it affects you physiologically and what you can do about it. We also explore the benefits of approaching your own trauma indirectly.
Trigger warning: we discuss different forms of abuse and manipulation in this podcast. If you may be triggered by these topics, please make sure you have support or resources in place before you listen. The opinions we express here are based on subjective personal experience.
