The Biology of Trauma® With Dr. Aimie
People are done dancing around the topic of trauma. They're ready to face this square-on. None

they're trying to do.
The Biology of Trauma® podcast is the missing piece to that puzzle. It's a practical living manual for the human body in a modern, traumatizing world. Join your host medical physician and attachment, trauma and addiction expert, Dr. Aimie as she challenges the old paradigm of trauma and illuminates a new model for the healing journey.
