My Personal Story with Traumatic Grief and Loss with Dr. Kate Truitt

In this video, Dr. Kate Truitt begins sharing her story of traumatic grief, and explains that even as a clinical psychologist, neuroscientist, and expert in stress trauma and resilience, she’s also been wounded by her own brain's journey. It was a journey of pain, a depth of darkness she’d never experienced.

This series is about how to navigate these nuances. Just because we know something, doesn’t mean our brain is capable of navigating the world with that knowledge. Amy the Amygdala is four times faster than the blink of an eye and four times faster than our rational thinking brain.

These moments of despair are natural and human. We will connect with the reminder that we are human, and our brains are brains. Navigating this world is no longer a unicorn story. These traumatic grief and loss experiences are pervasive.

Chronic stress and deep pain can feel isolating. Dr. Kate invites us to normalize those crazy human moments. These are not crazy things, it’s our brain being a brain. Our brain is fighting to keep us safe.
