·      How I came to work in the trauma field of trauma resolution

 

·      What my present field of work is in relation to trauma


·      What is Trauma Discharge Therapy (TDT) and how can it help you


·      Why TDT is an effective therapy for trauma recovery


·      Why trauma is so significant now and how can we support ourselves from its ill effects.
