Manda Aufochs Gillespie /Folk U - Psychologist and scientist, Wendy D’Andrea does research that looks at the impacts of acute trauma (such as a car crash) versus chronic trauma (such as abuse) and what happens with each in the brain and body. D’Andrea is a Professor at the New School and Chief Science Officer at the Trauma Research Foundation 

This episode isn’t always easy to listen to as topics such as abuse, rape, etc., are mentioned but this is a fascinating and empowering look at the new frontier of trauma research and practice.
