This week, Faith is joined by Dr. JoAnn Difede, a psychologist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine and a specialist in the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder. “Trauma” is a term that we use every day, but most of us aren’t talking about trauma in the strictly medical sense. Dr. Difede explained how trauma forms when we respond to threats that provoke us to fight, flee, or freeze, and described the difference between trauma and PTSD. Despite the challenging nature of a conversation that covers examples of traumatic events, we end this episode on a hopeful note: effective treatments exist for people with PTSD.
