In this week's episode of the Spine & Nerve podcast, Dr. Julie Hastings connects with Dr. Krystyna Holland, PT, DPT to learn about trauma informed care.

Trauma informed care has many definitions, including some fantastic work done by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. One definition is a consistent and intentional effort to reduce our propensity for harm. Another describes it as an approach in the human service field that assumes that an individual is more likely than not to have a history of trauma.

Listen in as Drs. Hastings and Holland discuss this very important topic and share some tips on how to better show up for our patients.
