Description

Welcome to Hello Trauma Brain, a podcast where I share my personal journey of living with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), and the tools and practices I’m using to heal, recover, and grow.

In this episode, join me, Raysa, as I kick off Season 3 of Hello Trauma Brain. I’ll be exploring why rest often feels unsafe for people with C-PTSD, how trauma impacts the nervous system, and why this can lead to cycles of chronic stress and burnout. I also share personal insights on what I’m learning as I try to build healthier patterns of rest and recovery.
