Manage episode 242678630 series 2434472
Today I got to sit and have a discussion with my friend Dr. Thema about understanding the different factors of trauma & PTSD for recovery and healing. Many of us have experienced some level of a trauma that played a role in shaping our lives. And while we are not defined by these experiences, it's important to identify the effects it may have had on us biologically, psychologically and even spiritually so that we can move forward with healthier, purposed lives. Be sure to leave a review if today's show has impacted you in any way!
Dr. Thema is a licensed psychologist, author, professor at Pepperdine University, and ordained elder in the AME Church. Her work has been featured on OWN, CNN, BET, and Headline News.
