April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. In this episode, Heather and Gabriel discuss complex trauma in honor of child abuse prevention. Trauma can be defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing event. Yet complex trauma is used to describe both the exposure to multiple traumatic events, often of an invasive and interpersonal nature, and the wide-ranging, long term impact of this exposure. In this episode you will learn about the range of types of complex trauma as well as the many effects.
