***Trigger warning***
This episode discusses trauma and the ways it impacts our daily lives. We take an example from a quote released by KeKe Palmer on social media to emphasize the importance of understanding the stages of an Acute Stress Response (aka Fight-or-Flight). We look at how we physically and emotionally respond when we are not dealing with the traumas we've experienced.
