It's about what those memories meant. So when I'm talking about like how we make meaning and how we interpret traumatic events, I feel like I always say that word weird, interpret, interpret. When I'm saying that that's the most important thing, it's because that is what creates these long-term emotional learnings for us, right?

After a brief break, Kina shares her latest life updates, including her excitement about passing the LCSW exam and her plans for future episodes.

This change aims to provide a deeper connection with her listeners, allowing for more personal engagement and understanding. In this episode, Kina dives into the complex world of trauma, exploring how we make sense of traumatic events as they happen and the long-term effects of these interpretations.

She discusses the often-overlooked aspects of trauma therapy, particularly in the context of complex PTSD, providing valuable insights for those on their healing journeys. Her compassionate approach underscores the need for a supportive environment to navigate these challenging emotional landscapes.
