025 Understanding Trauma with Susan Dascenzi- part 1

In this two part interview, listen in as Michelle and Susan Dascenzi delve deeper into what trauma is and the concept of Big ‘T’ and Little ‘t’ trauma as it relates to pregnancy and birth. "Trauma is anything that is shocking to our system and that we then have a difficult time either making sense of, understanding, or receiving the experience as something that we can manage and handle. So it becomes kinda this loop that happens in our mind where we pick apart every piece of it and we often insert self-blame into it." —Susan Dascenzi Susan L.
