297: Deconstructing Trauma + Chronic Skin Problems w/ MaryCatherine McDonald, PhD

Have you ever felt blown off, dismissed or totally overwhelmed dealing with your doctor? Medical trauma is a very real thing! Many people don’t realize how trauma—past or present—can shape their health journey, especially when dealing with chronic conditions. In this episode, Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald and I explore how trauma responses show up in the body and how recognizing them can be the key to true healing.

MaryCatherine McDonald, PhD, is a research professor, life coach, and trauma expert who has been studying the neuroscience and lived experience of trauma since 2009. She’s also the author of Unbroken: The Trauma Response Is Never Wrong, a book that makes complex trauma science accessible and deeply human.
