Can understanding trauma truly transform how we educate? Join us on “Taught, the Podcast,” where we unravel the complexities of trauma with the insightful Melissa Anthony, a licensed counselor specializing in trauma and grief. Melissa dives into the nuanced differences between big T and little T traumas, offering relatable examples like car crashes and feelings of exclusion. This episode shines a spotlight on how educators can recognize and address trauma symptoms not just in their students, but within themselves, especially in the face of both direct and secondary trauma.
