Beyond The Frontline

It is not surprising, during an entire lifetime, most people will experience some form of trauma. In the developmental years, trauma can affect the development of the brain and in adulthood it can rewire processing. When trauma is left untreated, it can have a significant impact on us at unexpected times in our lives. Left untreated, trauma can compound and form into complex trauma. Veterans are at a significantly higher risk for complex trauma. 

In this episode Part 2, Donna and Jay continue their discussion with Dr. Connie Siciliano Avila (aka Dr. Connie) to talk about trauma, levels of trauma, trauma responses, treatment for trauma and how family and friends can support their loved ones dealing with trauma.

Oftentimes the hardest person to face is the one in the mirror.

Donna and Jay discuss introspection. What is introspection? Why is it important for growth? How do you reflect on yourself? Donna and Jay will bring the audience on a journey of learning to quiet the mind. They will reflect and share some of their own journey, as well as give insight on how to start your own journey on introspection to help them find their purpose and live their best life during and after transition.
