Summary
Welcome back Tiny Adults! This month's BBC – Benson Book Club episode is all about trauma, your brain, and why you can’t just ‘get over it--because Your Body Keeps The Score ;)

Trauma isn’t just in your mind—your body keeps score. So, is your brain still in survival mode, or is it finally learning to feel safe? Download this episode and listen now to start your healing journey today.
