The Trauma and the Brain Podcast is hosted by Chantell Tilly Anderson and features guest expert Matt Lasslo, LPC (AZ), a licensed counselor with over 13 years of experience in trauma therapy, crisis work, and supervision.
The TATB podcast explores how trauma shapes our thoughts, emotions, bodies, and daily lives—and how we can respond with awareness and compassion instead of fear or judgment.
Together, Chantell and Matt unpack how political violence, grief, secondary trauma, and even doom-scrolling ripple through our nervous systems—and how we can interrupt those cycles.
That’s why we created this podcast: to make trauma education accessible, practical, and empowering—so each person can take responsibility for their own healing and learn why they do what they do.
Listeners will hear about:
Why trauma is less about the event itself and more about how it reshapes safety, trust, and self-image.
Types of trauma, called primary and secondary trauma, and how events, news stories or videos can leave us anxious, unsafe, or overwhelmed.
How grief is a form of trauma—and why sadness is not weakness but part of real healing.
Practical skills: grounding, nervous-system resets, inner-child work, healthy boundaries, and forgiveness that heals without excusing harm.
The Trauma and the Brain Podcast is for anyone seeking to understand themselves, support others, or navigate the world with greater steadiness. Each episode blends science, lived experience, and accessible tools—so you walk away not only informed, but equipped to live with greater awareness, resilience, and empathy.
Join Chantell as she builds a space where trauma education is approachable, human, and empowering—because understanding your brain is the first step to changing your life.
