Can We Rewire the Brain After Trauma? - Overcoming PTSD with Dr. John King

What this episode covers

Can past trauma shape our brain health without us even knowing? In this Brain Fitness podcast episode, I sit down with Dr. John King and his wife, Mel, as they share their journey through complex post-traumatic stress and healing with BrainTap. Dr. John A. King, author, poet, and survivor of sexual abuse and trafficking, has spent years as a speaker, activist, and corporate coach. In 2008, he uncovered memories of long-buried trauma, driving him to relearn the leadership principles he'd taught others. His journey is highlighted in the documentary Stopping Traffic and his book, #dealwithit: Living Well with PTSD. A powerful advocate, John draws on his experience to inspire those recovering from trauma and PTSD. When not speaking or writing, he enjoys classic cars, books, and road trips with his wife and dog. Today, we explore how trauma hides within, silently impacting our lives—and the tools that can help rewire the mind for resilience and recovery. Join us to uncover how breathing and brain fitness can empower your journey to mental well-being.
