In this episode, we speak to Dr Karen Treisman, a Clinical Psychologist specialised in trauma. She has worked with former child soldiers, survivors of the Rwandan genocide, refugees, asylum-seekers and more. We think about the human behind the uniform, clarify what are the different forms of trauma that any police officer or soldier could face in their daily work, and why it is important to talk about it rather than hide it.
