    They break down how trauma isn’t just something you “get over”—it can literally show up in your body, like chronic pain or even your gut health (who knew?!). The best part? They don’t leave you hanging. The ho... more

  • Rich, relevant and validating!

    A truly life-affirming and unique opportunity to consider how harmful events degrade us in so many ways- health and relationships for example. Lisa and her co-hosts speak plainly and powerfully about ways to understand trauma and care for ourselves in ways I had not considered. I really enjoy this show!
