Trauma & Complex Trauma, Pt. 1 with Julie Roy, LMSW

This episode explores trauma, especially complex trauma, and it's impact on our mental health. Host Mike Stratton is joined in studio by fellow therapist and colleague, Julie Roy, to discuss the many forms of trauma, distinguishing between “big T” and “little t” experiences, and highlighting how ongoing relational trauma can be just as impactful as major events. By recognizing even subtle signs and patterns of trauma, therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be effective tools for healing.Website: Cleveland Clinic / What is EMDR Therapy?Website: Dr. Francine Shapiro & EMDRWebsite: American Psychology Association / What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?Search: Mind / What is dissociation?Website: The Dissociative Experiences Scale______________________If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. 988 WebsiteMike and Morgan welcome questions and comments Email: A PsychoDelicous ConversationRelated Podcast: Mike & Morgan on Behind the ConnectionMike Stratton's A Groove SupremeSpotify: Mike's Podcast, The Little Green Book
