On this week’s episode, Shannon and Maddy are speaking with Trauma Informed Psychotherapist, Jacklynne Marder. We start out the episode catching up, talking through why we wanted to speak with Jacklynne in the first place, and some of our experience dealing with trauma and PTSD after cancer treatment.
Throughout the episode, Jacklynne explains how trauma affects our physical body and nervous system, why trauma stays in our bodies, ways to recognize your triggers and how to reduce anxiety around it. We also discuss why during treatment we may not start to process the trauma of cancer and our diagnoses until after treatment is over.
