PCTC Director, Kelly Larson, had a chance to join in on an important episode of "The Emergency Docs" Podcast to talk about PTSD, Trauma Response, and Brainspotting. In this episode, she broke down in simple terms what it may look like if your system is being impacted by undischarged stress and trauma, and discussed some tools and methods to help find healing! If you are wondering if perhaps your system is being impacted by this, have a listen and see if you can identify some of the signs!

Break the chain!

We can help 🦋
