S2E52: Shattered Innocence - Interview with Dr. Robb Kelly

Childhood trauma encompasses a range of adverse experiences that occur during a child's formative years. These can include physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, loss of a loved one, witnessing violence, or any situation that leaves a child feeling scared, helpless, or overwhelmed. The impacts of such trauma can be profound and long lasting, shaping an individual's emotional, psychological, and even physical health well into adulthood. Healing from childhood trauma is a journey that involves facing and understanding past experiences rather than avoiding or suppressing them.  Healing from childhood trauma is not only possible but can also be profoundly empowering.
