Co-hosts Ali Lantz, Aaron Charles and Dan Weiss talked with Kalyn about how she has seen the effects of trauma in her own life as well as the people she spends time with and works with. We learned that staying curious about the actions of others and our own reactions can calm very intense situations. Kalyn also encouraged us to seek connection with others who may be acting out of trauma. Finally, we learned that finding ways to have fun through play can be a valuable tool to help ourselves and others regulate the effects of trauma.
