127. Trauma and Perception: How Trauma Changes Your Perception of Yourself and Your World Around You
In this episode, Leina and Amy explore the ways that our body and brain change after trauma in an attempt to protect us from future terrible events. We also discuss how trauma leaves you with an altered belief or perception of yourself and the world. This makes sense, and we want to try to address this as we heal our own trauma and do our own trauma work.

Customer Reviews
Very Informative
I cannot praise this podcast enough! They not only help me understand why I react certain ways is multiple situations but they also teach you different methods to gain better control of your emotions. They provide tools you can use on a daily basis to help regulate your nervous system and help you find ways to stay in the moment. I absolutely love Dr. Amy & Leina. I believe it helps that unfortunately they too have been through traumatic experiences and know first hand what it means to have a disrupted nervous system.
A healing podcast
I appreciate the stories and information shared on the podcast that any trauma survivor can listen to anywhere to understand themselves better, feel less alone, and live a better life. Thank you!
