Dr. Stephanie Maj: Heal the Nervous System, Heal the Trauma

In a fascinating and educational conversation, Dr. Stephanie Maj walks us through the scientific steps of how trauma physically affects the body.

Dr. Maj also shares how trauma irritates the nervous system and how healing the nervous system helps heal the trauma.
