Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:  Understanding Trauma: Trauma is universal and recognizing its manifestations, both overt and subtle, in ourselves is essential to effectively help others.  Connection as a Disruptor: Forming meaningful connections and offering clarity in the face of uncertainty can significantly mitigate toxic stress. Rest and Adaptability: Challenging the notion of perfect balance, the focus should shift to planning for the natural ebb and flow of effort and rest, delegating tasks, and sometimes lowering non-critical standards to maintain well-being. Dr. Kemia Sarraf Bio: Dr. Kemia Sarraf (“Dr. K” to friends and clients alike) completed her Medical Degree and Master of Public Health at the University of Utah School of Medicine, and her residency in Internal Medicine at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University School of Medicine.
