Today we welcome our guest therapist Jody VanDrimmelen MSW, LCSW to discuss how trauma effects the brain and the body. 

There is such a huge impact from betrayal trauma and there are so many that are still learning about how this has effected them. Wherever you are at in your journey, todays episode will definitely add to your understanding and knowledge.  

We will discuss what trauma Is and the triggers that come because of it. So many women struggle to make sense of this and are trying to learn to recognize how their own mind and body responds to their triggers. Everyone will experience this differently so it's important to not compare your trauma to other people trauma.

Trauma responses such as fight, flight and freeze are discussed today, and Jody introduces two more responses that studies have found to also show up as a response to triggers caused by trauma. 

Post traumatic growth is also something that we will talk about and would love for each of you to be able to feel the hope that can come from betrayal trauma and your own healing. Healing IS possible.
