Community 1st Event - Understanding Trauma
Understanding Trauma Presentation
On August 4th at the Wauwatosa Public Library, Angela Harris, MS, LPC, offered a heartfelt and compassionate presentation on the nuanced differences between trauma and PTSD. She helped the community understand how trauma can affect each person differently—shaping our minds, emotions, our bodies, and everyday experiences. Through this understanding, we can begin to understand ways to navigate the healing process. Her compassionate and honest approach created a safe space where attendees felt seen, supported, and empowered to take the next step in their journey. Please enjoy this recording of her presentation.
