WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? (PART 2)
If the terrible things that happened to you during childhood can affect your health later in life, how do you NOT live out the worst possibilities for yourself? Is that even possible? In this second episode of our series about childhood trauma, we look at protective factors and resilience.
Terrible, Thanks for Asking is a podcast that asks people to give honest answers to the question, “How are you…?” Because everyone goes through hard stuff, and the more we talk about it the less alone we are.In their series, "What Happened To You?" (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3), Nora McInerny and the TTFA team delve into how challenging situations that happened to us as children affect the adults we become. The series features stories of childhood trauma, and explains how public health leaders are quantifying Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to understand the impact of trauma on people and communities.
