In this episode, Rachel Leah Gerson talks about the several different layers of trauma that we can experience as humans- personal, ancestral, systemic, and more- that can then affect our mental health and even lead to mental illness or symptoms thereof. She speaks to the different aspect of each layer, how they can be related, and positive ways to be able to work with your trauma as a tool for healing. PLUS: A very special announcement at the end!

Fun fact that I did not mention in the episode but will definitely touch on in a completely different episode is that it has actually been scientifically proven that trauma lives in the body! Doing somatic movement practises can help to unwind and release trauma from the body.
