Episode 1 | Complex PTSD, PTSD, Family, and Culture (Solo Episode)

Welcome to the first episode of The Trauma Educator Podcast where nervous system science, somatic education, and conversations on trauma meet culture and society.In this opening episode, I explore what complex trauma really is. I talk about how complex PTSD is different from PTSD, why this distinction matters, and how our family systems, cultures, and collective histories shape the nervous system across generations.I also share a deeply personal story of intergenerational trauma and how it became the moment that push me to want to understand the roots of individual suffering but also the cultural and systemic forces that sustain it.If this episode resonates, please follow, subscribe, rate, and share to help us expand this trauma-educated conversation and bring nervous system awareness to more people around the world.
