The Trauma Tapes Dr. MC McDonald

We discuss the article by Rebecca Fishbein "Is Therapy-Speak Making Us Selfish?" We have lots of opinions on this subject.  

We answer a reader question about the default mode network. What is it? How does it work? How does it relate to trauma? And is psilocybin the only thing that helps us shake it up?

In this episode, the letter writer struggles with the idea of sharing her trauma with family members. We talk about memories, safe spaces, and the power of protecting yourself.

In this episode we talk to the letter writer about the concept of burnout and suggest ways to break out of the shame.   

The book is FINALLY HERE!!! We celebrate and discuss the book!

In this episode the letter writer is tempted to make up a past instead of sharing details of his childhood. We talk about integrating your story and the importance of a relational home.
