Episode Description
In today's episode of Psych Talk, I chat with Dr. Christy Gibson, MD about collective trauma and health equity. Dr. Gibson shares about her journey into specializing in trauma and defines for listeners what trauma is. Dr. Gibson shares the two main trauma responses according to polyvagal theory, as well as defines collective trauma and how it differs and is similar to trauma experienced by an individual. We discuss how communities can enhance their resilience after experiencing a collective trauma and how somatic therapies can aid individuals who have experienced trauma. Dr. Gibson discusses some issues of equity individuals and systems currently face and the systems changes that need to occur to improve health equity and overall health outcomes for individuals. We end the discussing by discussing her book The Modern Trauma Toolkit.
