Many survivors of severe psychological trauma suffer from a diverse set of troubling emotions that are compounded by harrowing behavioral conditions. And too often, the impact takes a destructive toll on lives. When identified, the condition of post-traumatic stress (PTS) is usually thought of / talked about / diagnosed as a “disorder.” That’s unfortunate and it’s incorrect.
Brain, Hope, Reality: PTSI not PTSD, a new podcast by Dr. Eugene Lipov, shines a light on a relatively new understanding that connects the mental and emotional struggles of post-traumatic stress (PTS) to a biological change — one that is observable and measurable in the brains of survivors. And yes, it’s treatable! Throughout the series, you can expect to hear from patients that Dr. Lipov cares for, trauma experts, and even some insights from the world of neuroscience — all presented in an easily digestible, non-clinical way. Stay tuned!
