Ep. 14: Rise with the Realist: Trauma Impact and Recovery

In this episode, we explore the journey of recovering from trauma through the lens of a personal story about a car accident. Marcus shares his experience of dealing with the immediate aftermath and the ongoing process of healing. We discuss the role of therapy in understanding trauma, the body's natural responses, and the importance of having a support system. Tune in to learn about the real-life impact of therapy (including EMDR) and how it can aid in navigating difficult experiences.

Content warning: Marcus tells us the details of his accident. Both passengers received minor injuries. There were no fatalities. Stephanie also shares about losing her father as a teenager in a motorcycle accident. Discussion on the effects of trauma could be triggering if you've recently experienced your own. Please take care of yourself.
