Nothing that bad happened to me,” this episode may shift how you understand your life. In Episode 81 of The Billy Boss Show, The Two Types of Trauma (And Why Many People Don’t Realise They’ve Had It), Billy breaks down the two types of trauma in a simple, grounded way: Type 1: Things that shouldn’t happen, but did.
