From Russia to Resilience: Dr. Katya Burdo's Journey with Trauma and Healing

It is possible to heal and realize things with a clarity that we would not have had if we hadn't gone down and into that valley and then come out on the other side.
Ever wondered how deeply trauma can shape your identity? In this compelling episode of 'The Story of Our Trauma', Dr. Shauna Springer sits down with Dr. Katya Burdo, a clinical psychologist with a remarkable story. Born in Russia, Dr. Burdo faced intense persecution from a young age due to her religion and beliefs. Her journey took a dramatic turn when she attempted to defect to the United States at just 14 years old.
Now, practicing psychology in Boston, she brings a wealth of experience in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. Together, Dr. Springer and Dr. Burdo explore how trauma can alter one's sense of self and discuss the intriguing potential of psychedelics in therapy. Dr. Burdo's personal experiences offer a unique perspective on healing and resilience, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the transformative power of overcoming adversity.
