Healing from trauma can feel like navigating a labyrinth in the dark, but Matt Fox and I light the way with our illuminating discussion on the journey towards recovery. Tune in as we delve into the therapeutic power of hypnosis and equip you with free resources to deepen your understanding of its role in trauma therapy. Broadcasting from our cozy Southfield Studios, we also dissect the unique ways trauma impacts various age groups, from bedwetting in children to selective mutism in teenagers, emphasizing the importance of recognizing these different expressions of distress.

The emotional aftermath of traumatic events, especially for teenagers in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, is a maze of complexity. We dissect past and present coping mechanisms, highlighting the significance of healthy emotional processing and the dangers of substance misuse. The 'big three' - sleep, diet, and exercise - are heralded as pillars of mental health, and we share practical advice on weaving exercise into a jam-packed schedule. Our chat offers not just a listening ear but a trove of strategies to maintain a sense of stability in an ever-chaotic world.

Our final chapter resonates with a call for systemic change, addressing the stark reality of mental health care access and the barriers constructed by prohibitive insurance costs. With personal anecdotes of navigating high deductibles, we outline the need for sweeping reforms to make mental health services universally accessible. Wrapping things up, we pivot towards our podcast's core mission - to foster approachable and relatable mental health discussions that strip away intimidating jargon. We part with guiding principles for a fulfilling life and an open invitation to join us for our next live session, promising more educational insights served with a side of entertaining banter.
