About this listen

It makes sense if you think trauma means something went wrong in your brain — but the truth is, your brain is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. In this episode, Dr. Jess explains how trauma works, why neurodivergent people are more vulnerable to it, and why it’s not your fault if you’re still carrying what never should’ve happened.
