Trauma psychologist Tahnee Schulz—a critical incident first responder who has worked with those affected by events like the Sydney Lindt Café siege and the Nepal Earthquakes—offers a forensic, compassionate map for finding meaning when life's floor falls away. In this quick hit with Tahnee, you’ll hear about: The Jelly Bean Jar: The deceptively simple neuroscience of small pleasures and why they are the foundation of resilience. The Definition of Trauma: Why trauma is defined not by what happened, but by how it made you feel, and the profound, genetic stakes of leaving it unprocessed. The Suffering Witness: How to recognize that your empathy is a strength, not a wound, and why seeking help is vital even if the trauma didn't happen to you directly. This is a conversation about the extraordinary human capacity to build meaning, move through uncertainty, and choose a full, thriving life.
