Join Luxa as she speaks with Dave Neal, Writer, Theater Director and Trauma Specialist, about how Metacognition can help us better contextualize our experiences and responses, how Trauma affects the brain, and how the concept of Neuroplasticity tells us that it is possible to heal from the hardship of past events. Also featuring Dave’s Erisian poetry, an update on The Green Mushroom Project, and much more!
