How Trauma Affects our Mental Health

February 24, 2023 By motheradmin

Mothers Helpers Founder Kristina Grace talks to USA Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Debra Wallace about how trauma impacts our mental health.  Debra has extensive training in trauma and in this episode she talks about what it is, how to identify it, what it looks like/feels like and what’s going on in the brain.
