How Stress & Trauma Change Your Brain | Series 3.Ep.2

Stress affects far more than our emotions, it changes the way our brains work.In this episode of This Too Is Healing, Nettee is joined by educational psychologist Dr Adam McCartney and menopause coach Emma Archard to explore the science behind stress, trauma, brain fog and the nervous system.Together they discuss why our brains respond the way they do, how childhood experiences can shape adult wellbeing, and practical ways to better understand ourselves with compassion rather than judgement.You'll come away with a deeper understanding of how the brain adapts to stress, why healing takes time, and what we can do to support our mental wellbeing.Next week: Why relationships change and how we stay connected through life's biggest transitions.Podcast DisclaimerThe views, opinions and experiences shared in this podcast are those of the individual speakers and are provided for general information, education and discussion purposes only.
