Understanding Trauma and Its Effects
Trauma is more than just PTSD; it can manifest as a limiting force in our lives. Dr. Levine shared a personal childhood experience that led to a deep sense of betrayal and an understanding that the world is not safe. He highlighted how even seemingly minor events, like a scold for spilling food, can create lasting wounds that impact our health and well-being. The good news is that trauma doesn't have to define us - with the right tools and mindset, healing is possible.
