20: Trauma: A Normal Response To An Abnormal Situation w/ Candace Alley

Did you know that toxic stress decreases the size and impairs the function of different regions of the brain that are actually responsible for our learning, our executive functioning, our memory ?

Candace Alley, a five time internationally certified coach and the founder and CEO of Trauma Resource Network shares that: 

• trauma is not a particular event, but rather how the brain processes that event 
• every persons healing journey is as individual and unique as your fingerprints
• trauma doesn't mean that you're broken or that you've done anything wrong. rather, it's a very normal response to an abnormal situation
• those who score a 4 or higher on the ACES test stand a far greater chance of struggling with mental health issues and or some form of addiction in their lifetime
• consistent practice and dedication is key to healing
