Episode 30: Understanding Trauma with Dr. Jeanne Jakob

My guest for this episode is Dr. Jeanne Jakob - a board-certified psychologist based in Silicon Valley, and an expert in treating trauma and PTSD from a number of different therapeutic modalities. She is the founder of Inside Out Psychology, a website and platform to promote the public's knowledge about psychotherapy, psychological science, and the mental health industry.

On today's podcast we address a range of trauma-related topics, including:

• What does "trauma" mean, exactly? Is the word overused?

• Why can trauma experienced during childhood echo throughout the lifespan?

• What are the main evidence-based approaches to treating trauma? Why do they work?

• What should someone look for when choosing a therapist to work on trauma?

And more!
