We're Talking Trauma | "Live" from Northern Ireland Gin and Chronic, The Podcast

Alaina joins from Northern Ireland to discuss what she's learning about trauma-informed practices. She talks about how trauma appears in all levels of society, to various resulting behaviors, and how systems can be build better to support everyone. This is especially true in the medical field and it's important to talk about the trauma that people with chronic illness and pain and disability experience. She discusses some of the myths around intergenerational and transgenerational trauma (check out links below for more). Lastly, she explains that there is still a lot of hope to be found in studying trauma and how we can all make significant changes to re-write our own narratives around trauma.
