In the second episode of our enlightening series on "Happiness, Health and Relationships," we continue our deep dive into the complexities of trauma with expert Dina Shale. This session explores the different types of trauma - acute, chronic, and secondary—and their profound effects on our mental and physical health.

Dina elaborates on how chronic exposure to stressors like domestic abuse or prolonged workplace stress can lead to long-term physiological and emotional changes.
