Humans experience circumstances vastly differently. One person can internalize an event as traumatic while someone else who experiences the same doesn't. What is this all about? What is the difference between primary and secondary trauma? Does it matter? Which type of trauma tends to remain unseen (people don't recognize a need to get support after the traumatic event(s))? 
As a coach (or any human), it's important to be aware of--especially with respect to current events. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • What primary and secondary trauma is.
  • Why we sometimes fail to recognize or acknowledge trauma,
  • Signs to help you recognize secondary trauma,
  • More about secondary trauma I've been healing from, and
  • Societal expectations that condition us to minimize or ignore our trauma.
