I think maybe the whole world should just be in therapy, making art and music- I mean that's really what helps me- is kind of art and music and dogs and just finding things good in the world to focus my energy on and to remind myself that there there are good things about being alive, and I think that's really important.
Ever wondered how trauma impacts the brain and body? In this episode of 'Recover Everything', host Kris sits down with Apryl Pooley, an author, neuroscientist, and activist, to discuss her profound experiences with trauma and PTSD. Apryl opens up about her personal journey, sharing the raw and often painful moments that shaped her understanding of trauma.
