She\u2019s here today to talk about her work helping individuals recover from childhood trauma. \u200b Few of us will escape our lives without some sort of trauma\u2014some more or less severe than our peers. Whereas previous discussions around trauma were conducted only on therapists\u2019 couches or in private diaries, they are now being more normalized. With this decrease in stigma, we are paving the way for more possible healing. \u200b Family-of-origin trauma is a form of trauma that comes from our home\u2014from the place where we are programmed to want to feel safe. If this environment feels unsafe during our developmental years, it affects everything from our personality and how we feel about ourselves, to our future relationships, and even our relationship with food and substance use (Mandavia, 2016).
