🎙️Episode Highlight: The Trauma Frame - Limitation or Liberation? 🎧

Welcome back to another episode of Agents of Everything, the podcast that explores the limitless possibilities of the human mind. I'm your host, James Tripp, and in today's episode, titled "The Trauma Frame - Limitation or Liberation?", we'll be diving deep into the concept of trauma and its impact on our lives.

Our brains are remarkable organs, capable of immense adaptation and growth. We'll explore how trauma, often seen as a negative experience, can actually be a healthy adaptation by a healthy brain. We'll discover the power of neuroplasticity, which allows our brains to continue to learn and change, even in the face of adversity.
