After we recorded our first episode, "Can You Really Ever Evict Trauma, or is it a Squatter that Will Live with you Forever?" Our special guest, Adaora Ezike from the Detroit Health Department brought up another strong topic, Trauma Bonding. Trauma Bonding is a psychological response to abuse. If we've never had the real help we need to confront the abuse we've dealt with in the beginning, we may find ourselves continually finding different people or situations that mimic the trauma we experienced. What defines a traumatic experience? What happens to the brain? How does one and the family deal with PTSD Realigning your perspective or providing real time coping techniques to manage the aftermath of trauma, i.e. stress, anxiety, night terrors, etc?

How do we get past this? Or will our brains and our bodies ever let us free from the aftermath of trauma.   This week on “A Daily Dose of Dr. Karla,” Dr. Karla is digging deep with giving an overview of the four types of trauma, the initial months that follow and really explaining what these experiences can do to the body if it’s not confronted or processed. Adaora is a Public Health professional using restorative and trauma-informed practices to inform population health interventions   and foster community partnerships.     Mon, 01 Mar 2021 15:30:00 +0000 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/adoseofdrkarla/adoseofdrkarla_030121_canyoureallyeverevicttrauma.mp3?dest-id=2639744
