Description

Healing from trauma is difficult—at any age. But when traumatic experiences have remained unresolved for decades, it can be even more difficult to know where to start.

On this episode of Aging Forward, clinical counselor Gracia Do shares what makes someone more vulnerable to mental health struggles, the ways in which trauma changes our brain structure and function, and how to build resilience moving forward.
