In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Deahdra Bowier, licensed clinical psychologist, who is a trauma focused psychologist at the University of California Santa Cruz. We discuss how several of us have been exposed to some form of trauma in our lives and how trauma can affect our daily lives. In today's climate, trauma is not a stranger to anyone and several of us are struggling with various triggers. I share my personal story of trauma and how I felt like it changed the trajectory of who I am as a woman and as a human in this world. Deahdra shares valuable resources on how someone can find outlets in order to deal with their own trauma as well as how to start healing.
