Best Of: What is Trauma? And Stories of Recovery

70% of adults in the U.S. are estimated to have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives—that’s 223.4 million people.

In this Best Of episode, we’re listening back to excerpts from past guests who bravely shared their stories of experiences with traumatic events in their lives—and, how different forms of therapy have supported their ongoing healing journeys.

Michael Baldwin and Dr. Deborah L. Korn are co-authors of Every Memory Deserves Respect, a book about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which tells Michael’s story as a trauma survivor alongside Deborah’s extensive expertise as a researcher and clinician who has studied and implemented EMDR therapy to help people like Michael recover from the effects of trauma.

Christine Macdonald is a Los Angeles-based author and former exotic dancer whose memoir, Face Value: From Working The Pole To Baring My Soul, tells the story of how the trauma she endured in her young life led her to the underground world of adult entertainment where she spent nearly a decade trying to find her self-worth.
