This week Leina and Amy look at the link between early childhood trauma and adult mental health diagnoses. They discuss how childhood trauma can include loss of parent or bullying, as well as neglect or active abuse by a caregiver.

In this episode, Leina and Amy explore the ways that our body and brain change after trauma in an attempt to protect us from future terrible events. We also discuss how trauma leaves you with an altered belief or perception of yourself and the world. This makes sense, and we want to try to address this as we heal our own trauma and do our own trauma work.
