  • Domestic Violence, Trauma, and the Intersection of Healthcare
    2024/10/02

    In this episode of The Courageous Survivor Podcast, Paula Walters, a survivor of multiple forms of abuse and national speaker, reflects on her recent experience speaking at a conference in Los Angeles, where she discussed the intersection of domestic violence (DV), interpersonal violence (IPV), and the healthcare system.

    Paula shares insights from professionals in California, comparing them to the challenges she faces in Ohio, which lags behind in supporting survivors. Through her personal journey, Paula addresses the need for trauma-informed care in medical systems and the role trauma plays in chronic health conditions. She opens up about her frustrations with the medical system, the slow pace of legislative change, and her passion for making a difference in the lives of survivors.

    Paula also highlights the importance of recognizing trauma’s impact on various populations, including first responders, healthcare workers, and military personnel. She challenges the traditional medical model that often fails to consider trauma in diagnosis and treatment, advocating for a holistic approach that looks at the big picture. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing from trauma requires not only addressing the psychological aspects but also the physiological impacts.

    Join Paula as she explores the intersections of trauma, health, and how we can create a more compassionate and trauma-informed world for survivors and the people who protect us.
