Solid Strategies for living in a traumatic world with Tahnee Schulz

Trauma psychologist Tahnee Schulz—a critical incident first responder who has worked with those affected by events like the Sydney Lindt Café siege and the Nepal Earthquakes—offers a forensic, compassionate map for finding meaning when life's floor falls away. 

In this quick hit with Tahnee, you’ll hear about:

• The Jelly Bean Jar: The deceptively simple neuroscience of small pleasures and why they are the foundation of resilience.
• The Definition of Trauma: Why trauma is defined not by what happened, but by how it made you feel, and the profound, genetic stakes of leaving it unprocessed.
• The Suffering Witness: How to recognize that your empathy is a strength, not a wound, and why seeking help is vital even if the trauma didn't happen to you directly.

This is a conversation about the extraordinary human capacity to build meaning, move through uncertainty, and choose a full, thriving life.
