What happens after a traumatic event? In this podcast we explore the reactions, positive and negative, to difficult life events. Difficult topics are discussed with a lighthearted conversation in order to help others who are also struggling with their own trauma find a ray of sunshine, even if it is with dark humor.
For this week's episode we discuss triggers: what are they in general, what are they to us, and how we handle them. And we also have a whole lot of nonsense in the mix. Come join us! And then don't forget to like, share, subscribe, and rate us!
