In this new episode of The Trauma Educator Podcast, I answer some of your questions about trauma, healing, and the nervous system

These are questions you've submitted, and it was an absolute joy to take some time to reflect on them and answer in the following order:

• How can I discern between real and valid needs versus “needs” that stem from a trauma response?
• Is it really possible that something bad happened and the person has no memory of it?
• How do I move toward connection and others when relationships feel so unsafe?
• How can I stop feeling like a victim and step into my power when everything feels hopeless?
• In general, how does one heal from complex PTSD?
• How do I teach my body to feel safe if I don’t even know what safety feels like?
