6 | The hidden Cost of "little t" trauma | Dr. Liz Cohen

Dr. Liz Cohen discusses how the field of trauma research is changing and helping us understand more about neuroplasticity, the rewiring that happens to our brains from ongoing "small t traumas" that we may not have thought about as impacting us. Childhood situations where our needs were regularly unmet can result in responses which are more likely to be chronic. Do you find yourself in patterns with your partner or kids you can’t seem to get out of? We dissect how to get to know and understand our survival mechanisms and break those patterns. Dr. Cohen also shares great insights on how she combines clinical psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy and Somatic Experiencing, what she does in a session when she doesn’t know what to do next, and what we we are likely to see if we don’t take the time to feel deeply and reflect upon what happened in the last years with the covid crisis.  Dr. Cohen, a clinical psychologist, is the author of, Light at The Other Side of Divorce: Discovering the New You.
