Host: Dhru Purohit\nGuest: Dr. Naim\nTrauma comes in several forms and may be felt and held deeply in many different parts of the body. Whether it\u2019s trauma experienced in childhood or a shock to the system from a car accident or act of violence, integrative psychiatrist Dr. Omid Naim, tells us \u201cWe can completely recover from trauma.\u201d Did you hear that? We have hope.\nToday, host of the Broken Brain Podcast, Dhru, sits down with Dr. Naim from Hope Integrative Psychiatry and La Maida Institute in Los Angeles, CA to discuss many topics that penetrate us to our cores.
