About this episode
Most of us think of trauma and what happens in the brain and body as a life sentence. Once you’ve been “traumatized” or you’ve been told you have PTSD, that's it, and you'll deal with it for the rest of your life. But the latest neuroscience and mental health research is giving us a very different lens through which we can see quite a bit of hope. In conversations with Dr. Gabor Maté MD , a leading trauma physician, and Dr. Rachel Yehuda PhD, a leading researcher on the science of trauma — we learn what trauma truly is, what it does to our bodies and minds, and how to heal from it.- Web:https://drgabormate.com/
