Welcome to Getting Under The Surface, episode 10.
WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT
Today we’ll be talking with a long-time colleague and brain guru, Mark Brady, Ph.D., who I met over a decade ago when I was writing a blog called Daddy Brain. Back then, I interviewed Mark about topics like children’s brain development and positive and negative forms of discipline.
As you may have guessed, today’s topic is brain-centric, and it’s an important one: it’s all about trauma.
Discussion includes:
- How to identify and deal with trauma in healthy ways
- Trauma and disease
- How we can help children deal with, and overcome, trauma
- How movement, mindfulness and meditation positively affect the brain
- Metabolizing the stress hormone
- Becoming more aware of, and moving past, our childhood trauma

He spent 10 years at The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, one of the nation’s premier think tanks (according to him: “stalking behavioral scientists in their natural habitat, undercover as the maintenance man!”). He is also the prize-winning author of a number of books, magazine articles and academic papers and has published The Flowering Brain blog regularly for 14 years.
