#027 - PTSD: Trauma, Meaning, and Malevolence (Dr. Nick Grey) - a podcast by Danny Whittaker

Dr. Nick Grey joins us to discuss PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

In today's episode we explore the definitions and subjective nature of "trauma", why women are twice as likely to suffer with PTSD than men, the difference between a normal and disordered trauma response, and what differentiates PTSD from other anxiety disorders.

We discuss the nature of malevolence and why acts of evil are more likely to result in trauma than accidents and natural disasters, why narrative and meaning plays such an important role in a person's recovery.
