Description

Welcome to Hello Trauma Brain. A podcast where I share my experiences living with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and what I am doing to heal and get better.

In this episode, Raysa is joined by Hello Trauma Brain’s first returning guest, Benjamin Allen host of the podcast “The (Complex) PTSD Guy.” Ben shares why his podcast ended and tools he has found helpful to combat his feelings of hopelessness. Raysa and Ben reflect on realizing that not everyone is like their abusers, the importance of keeping their brains from sabotaging them, the challenges of setting and maintaining boundaries, and so much more. This is part 1 of their conversation together. You are invited to return next week for the final part 2 of Raysa’s conversation with Benjamin Allen.

Footage of conversation portion is available on Spotify and YouTube
