Let's face it. We all know someone who has experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives. We may be the trauma survivor. In fact, 50% of all U.S. adults will experience at least one traumatic event in their lives (NIH). Trauma can be damaging in the moment and in the aftermath. On this episode, I discuss my personal experience with trauma and PTSD. I also discuss the Conspiracy of Silence spearheaded by Dr. Yael Danieli (2009).
