In this episode, We talk with Dr. Michael Tkach about how trauma is like a flashbulb of information in the mind and how it's processed. We discuss the holes within the mental health system, why they're there, and the best ways to navigate it to get help. I also personally thank him for changing my life from the first time we chatted. Yuu're going to like this one!
