In this episode of The Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast, Claudia speaks with Dr. Edith Shiro, licensed clinical psychologist, trauma specialist, co-founder of the Trauma and Resilience Center, and author of The Unexpected Gift of Trauma. Dr. Shiro has spent decades studying trauma, PTSD, resilience, and post-traumatic growth.
