She discusses: *  How trauma at different life stages affects our healing process, with unexpected insights about childhood versus adult trauma. *  Why our brains are pre-wired for resilience, equipped with survival instincts that, with awareness, can be harnessed rather than hindered. *  Practical methods to recognize trauma's lingering effects on temperament, relationships, and behavior-and how understanding these shifts can free you from shame and frustration. *  The importance of creating safe spaces for trauma processing, and how to approach conversations with loved ones when supporting someone through pain. * How to regulate your nervous system when hypersensitivity or hypervigilance threaten your peace, including simple tactics rooted in evolutionary biology and neurofeedback. https://mindcareohio.com/ [https://mindcareohio.com/]
