Most people experience a traumatic event at some point in their lives. While the symptoms of trauma usually improve over time, some people may experience lingering effects that don’t go away on their own and may interfere with their day-to-day lives. Dr. Stephanie Covington, a pioneer in the fields of addition, trauma, and recovery, talks about trauma and its impact. Dr. Covington is a clinician, author, and organizational consultant who has written many articles and books, including the best-selling recovery book, A Woman's Way through The Twelve Steps. Her new book is, Hidden Healers: The Unexpected Ways Women in Prison Help Each Other Survive.
