This episode looks at specific tips and ways to support partners who have also experienced trauma and also looks at responding VS reacting.

This episode gives an overview of trauma and why support is important in individual recovery from trauma. Future episodes will look at how to react, cope and the impact of trauma on interpersonal relationships.

This episode looks at our survival mode (amygdala) and how it causes the PFC (prefrontal cortex) to become unable to rationalise, plan or make decisions. I also cover 4f responses (Pete Walker, 2013), physiological impact of amygdala hijacking, tips and guidance on stopping this and preventing future attacks.
