Understanding Trauma

In today's episode of The DLOH we explore trauma. We will discuss what it is is, how it impacts the brain and body, and, most importantly, how we can begin the healing process. Trauma isn’t just about the big, obvious events; it can stem from a variety of experiences, shaping how we think, feel, and interact with the world.
