Episode 240 | Beware of Self Proclaimed Experts

Trauma experts are people who have lots of education, experience, and credibility among the people they help.That's not to say that only professionals can be helpful, but be very cautious when people claim to be experts but lack credibility or a vast amount of experience and education.
