Let’s Talk About Betrayal Trauma! (Pt. 2) | Schauer Thoughts

It’s time to park it! This week we’re tackling betrayal trauma (yet again) and we’ll be covering the neuroscience, neurobiology, and psychology as well as some tangentially related research on betrayal, betrayal blindness, and the freeze response. I hope you enjoy this week’s communal Schauer, it’s a long one - you may leave this episode a bit pruney. We have fun here. ❤️ My last book club just ended and we’re starting up a new one, if you’d like to get in on the new book selection, please check out my Patreon!
