Welcome to Hello Trauma Brain. A podcast where I share my experiences living with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and what I am doing to heal and get better.

In this episode, Raysa continues her conversation with Benjamin Allen host of the podcast “The (Complex) PTSD Guy.” Ben and Raysa talk about the tools Ben uses to fight isolation, his journey with his sobriety, finding meaning in movies and literature, the importance of community, and so much more.
