In part two of their conversation, Anne and Brian Arbor delve into the complexities of trauma and PTSD. They explore the efficacy of personal development in addressing PTSD and emphasize the importance of healing rather than merely transforming trauma.

Brian shares his personal experiences with PTSD and the limitations of self-help tools, highlighting the need for professional support and the acknowledgment of emotional responses. The discussion underscores the significance of understanding trauma as a progressive condition that requires ongoing attention and care.
