Natasha and Cecily talk with Robyn Brickel, psychotherapist and owner/clinical director of Brickel and Associates in Alexandria, Virginia. What is trauma-informed care? What would a "bottom-up" approach to treating trauma look like? And what happens when trauma triggers physical symptoms? Together, they further explore the mind-body connection and the importance in creating a safe environment when it comes to delivering quality care.
