In this Episode we discussed:

- What Trauma is: the big T's and the little t's of trauma

- CPTSD vs. PTSD

- The Adverse Childhood Experiences tool (ACE score)

- Trauma Responses - The 4 F's 

• Fight
• Flight
• Freeze

And of course, we discussed solutions and ways to heal beyond: Soothing, numbing and distracting.

We talked about different therapeutic approaches like: Conventional Talk Therapy, EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, Compassionate Inquiry by Dr. Gabor Maté, Meditation, Tapping (EFT), Journaling, Psychedelics and more.
