 ⚠️ What trauma actually does to your brain (think amygdala hijack & hippocampus shutdown)
 🔥 Why PTSD symptoms feel like you're stuck in a loop
👩‍🔬 Why women are twice as likely to develop PTSD
💥 Fight, flight, freeze, fawn — survival reactions that linger long after the threat is gone

You’ll also hear:

Whether you’re living with PTSD or supporting someone who is — this episode brings compassion, clarity, and real hope.
