If you've ever been affected by a traumatic event, you know how confusing and difficult it can be to try and understand what happened. The brain is a complex organ that we still have much to learn about. Many of us carry the effects of trauma long after the event has passed.

Join us on Therapy Talks as we discuss Trauma and how therapists can help. Trauma is more than just a stressor, it's how that stressor is held in the body. This week, Coral Compagnoni joins Hailey Kanigan to discuss different types of trauma and how we can differentiate its causes and the ways trauma affects us.

In This Episode:

• What is trauma?
• The difference between single incident trauma and complex trauma & how they affect us differently
• Coral and Hailey explain how they use EMDR to treat trauma (and why it’s so effective)
• How trauma can build in the body through abusive experiences, insecure attachment, and dissociation.
• How trauma affects children and its long term effects
