Does Everyone Have Trauma? with Dr. Michael Scheeringa
About this episode
Dr. Michael Shceeringa is back with us to continue the conversation from our earlier episode, where we challenged the idea that “the body keeps the score.” In this episode, we go deeper into trauma and unpack common myths. Does everyone have trauma? How is trauma actually defined? Why do some people with trauma not develop PTSD? We explore these questions and much more.
