Kindness isn’t just a random act—it’s a radical act of strength, healing, and survival. But for many trauma survivors, being on the receiving end of kindness can feel uncomfortable, even triggering. Why? And how can we shift from discomfort to embracing kindness as part of a new, healthy normal?

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we explore:

✨ The history of kindness—from ancient philosophy to modern psychology
🧠 The science of kindness—how it rewires the brain and reduces trauma responses
💡 Why kindness can be challenging for trauma survivors (and how to navigate it)
💖 10 ways to practice self-kindness daily
🌍 How small, consistent acts of kindness help build trust and resilience

And remember, we’re better together, we’re stronger together, and take what resonates and GO BEYOND!

In Love and Healing,
Dr. Deb
