This is feminist wellness and I'm your host nurse practitioner functional medicine expert and life coach Victoria Albina. I'll be full heart. Welcome my love let's get started.

Hello I am so delighted to have you with us here today.

Yes me too thank you for having me. Oh it's such a delight so I'm

hoping we can just dive right on in so you are a trauma therapist you You have studied a bajillion different modalities.

And I would love to talk about what's going on in the world of trauma support,

trauma therapy these days, where you see things going,

I think I'll just open it up to you.

Yeah, cool, totally.

Certainly there's a lot more of a recognition

of the way that our body is impacted by trauma,

of the way that different

intersections of identities is traumatic or can result in certain traumas.

And then I also think that I'm seeing both like people who are trauma therapists and people who have trauma or are seeking trauma therapy have more of an understanding of the impact of childhood and maybe like what was previously understood as like how things were or like quote

low-grade trauma or like the way that certain ways of parenting, certain life experiences have been minimized, be more,

yeah like having more like weight given to them, like the way that your parents talk to you or your experience in school,

like being in the closet for 10 years,

or like any sort of like experience

that was

model originally to address,

I think trauma therapy was modeled originally to address,

i.e. sexual assault, sexual abuse, yeah, like experiencing a natural disaster

or being away in a war zone, there's like more expansiveness within the trauma field.
