Complex with Kimberley Wilson - Do you have trauma or PTSD?

A lot of people claim they have trauma. But what is trauma? And when does it become PTSD? Kimberley is joined by clinical psychologist Dr Ron Dodzro to explore a term that's often misused and misunderstood. And together they discuss what we can do about it.

Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist, is on a mission to sift through all the information and misinformation that’s out there around our mental health. She invites expert guests - trained psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists - to help her share insight and some valuable tips.
