S2 Ep2 Inability to Sleep
The inability to sleep (when it's caused by a trauma reaction can have long lasting effects. In this episode we'll cover what some of the symptoms might be, and toward the end I promise to leave a series of questions that a professional looking to help you might ask.
How long have you been struggling with sleep?
Describe your typical sleep pattern. How easily do you fall asleep? Do you wake up often during the night? How rested do you feel in the morning?
Have you noticed any changes in your sleep habits recently?
Do you have any nightmares or disturbing dreams? If so, can you describe them?
Are there any specific thoughts, feelings, or situations that seem to make it harder to sleep?
Have you ever experienced any traumatic events in your life? This could include anything from a major accident or injury to emotional abuse or neglect.
If so, how did those events affect you at the time? How do they affect you now?
Have you ever felt unsafe or threatened in any way?
Do you have any history of mental health concerns, such as anxiety or depression?
Are you experiencing any significant stressors in your life right now? This could include things like work, school, relationships, or finances.
How are you coping with these stressors?
Do you feel safe and supported in your current environment?
Do you have any substance abuse issues?
Additionally, the therapist might ask you to complete a sleep diary to track your sleep patterns over time.
Use specific assessment tools designed to screen for trauma symptoms.

S2 E1 The most exciting episode YET!
What an EXCITING episode! Hrisanthi and Amanda are quickly approaching one year of friendship AND podcasting together! This episode is all about recapping what we’ve learned over the past year, and how our lives have dually and monumentally changed because of the work we’re doing. We’ll recap some of our favorite funny moments (remember that road rage incident) and genuinely just have a great time being what and who we are at our core - friends who don’t care about the distance.

S1 E23 Nightmares - as a trauma reaction! (Audio only)
A trauma-related nightmare is different from normal nightmares in that it is directly linked to a traumatic event or experience. Trauma-related nightmares are often recurring, distressing, and vivid dreams that involve reliving or symbolically representing aspects of the traumatic event. We've both experienced these, have you?
