[Trauma Chat Podcast](https://traumatherapistnetwork.com/podcast-category/trauma-chat-podcast/) - Trauma is extremely common but not well understood by most people. Trauma therapist Laura Reagan, LCSW-C created Trauma Chat to explain what trauma is and how it shows up in our lives, as well as how to find help. This show is for anyone who wants to learn about trauma and understand how it impacts ourselves and people we care about. Learning about trauma can be overwhelming, so the episodes are brief, usually 10-20 minutes each, and Laura delivers her message a down-to-earth manner, avoiding jargon as much as possible. If you or someone you love is affected by trauma (like most humans in today’s world), listen in and start learning about trauma and paths to healing. Trauma is real. Healing is possible. Help is available! Find a trauma therapist today at Trauma Therapist Network! RedCircle (podcast player) Privacy Policy
