You have to be living under a rock to not be impacted by what is happening on social media right now as it pertains to Israel and Gaza. And this is nothing new in history yes, but also nothing new on what we are exposed to through social media.

This episode happened to align with Jenny Hughes, Phd. a trauma therapist who specializes in secondary traumatic stress and vicarious trauma for people in the helping profession. And we wanted to do our best to talk about how we can take care of ourselves when tragedy hits.
