102 - (Part 2) Dr. Jennifer Fraser : The Devastating Effects of Child Abuse and Finding Hope for Healing Through Neuroscience

Trigger warning: this episode contains discussions of child abuse, suicide, and mentions of self-harm which may be disturbing for some listeners. Dr. Jen Fraser has a PhD in Comparative Literature which trained her to take diverse discourses and put them into dialogue. Her books draw on literature, psychology, law and anthropology as she analyzes culture and society. Her sixth book, The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health turns to neuroscience in order to rethink how abuse shapes our world and learn new ways to recover from it grounded in science (forthcoming with Prometheus Books March 8, 2022).
