Manage episode 514175150 series 3507236
Have you experienced a traumatic event in the past--whether in your childhood or adult life? If the answer is "yes," you're surely not alone. Research shows that about 60% of men and 50% of women experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. However, women are actually more likely to develop PTSD. And as a clinical psychologist who has worked with thousands of traumatized individuals, I've found that trauma often reveals itself in unusual or confusing ways. And despite the belief that trauma goes away or heals itself, unaddressed trauma tends to fester and worsen over time. Today we'll dive into trauma–and how to heal it–with a wonderful, renowned trauma expert. Topics discussed include trauma, PTSD, rape, assault, domestic violence, victims, survivors, healing, grief, loss, betrayal, fight or flight response, freeze response, fawn response, safety, security, empowerment, support, psychotherapy, and attachment.
