Trauma in the Central Nervous System

Episode 40: The majority of adults in the U.S. have experienced some type of traumatic event. Research shows that trauma survivors have a high incidence of physical and mental health illnesses. The good news is that the human nervous system has the capacity to recover. Joining us is yoga teacher Abbey Asher, who describes how she learned to attend to her own mental health and nervous system while caring for her husband through his 4-year illness and eventual death from brain cancer. Psychotherapist and trauma specialist Karen Ouse, LMFT joins us to share her understanding of nervous system physiology and trauma recovery.
