In this important episode, I interview clinical psychologist, Dr. Kianna Zielesch. We talk about how our nervous system will become maladapted due to traumatic events, in which we experience a "normal reaction to abnormal circumstances". We discuss how the brain responds to trauma, how trauma is held in our culture, and how to keep going when the neural pathways in our brains keep leading us towards re-traumatization. Awareness is the most important step to unraveling these patterns. I hope you get some healing and new information from this episode. Kianna can be reached at drkiannazielesch.vistaprintdigital.com. Thanks again for tuning in.
