This episode of "How'd we get Here" podcast is about Trauma. With my go-to therapist, Ms. Della Roderick of August Rose Health Center, we are talking about Trauma and the effects that it can have if you don't deal with it.

Having an open and honest conversation about trauma is crucial. Trauma affects numerous individuals, and discussing it can be challenging. Nonetheless, by sharing our stories and providing support to one another, we can begin to heal and progress. It's essential to keep in mind that each person's experience with trauma is unique, and there is no correct method of coping. What might work for one person may not work for another. By actively listening and being a support system for each other, we can all strive toward recovery and healing.
