June is PTSD Awareness Month. In this episode, we explore the differences between PTSD and Complex PTSD, how trauma impacts the brain and nervous system, and why survival strategies often remain long after the danger has passed. If you've ever wondered why certain experiences continue to affect you years later, this conversation offers insight, understanding, and hope for healing.
