My guest today is the founder of Prisma, a framework that overlays trauma, neuroscience, and energy medicine was somatic and mindfulness based practices and develop this while healing his own anxiety, depression and chronic pain rooted in trauma. So he has his own personal story, and I'm really excited to talk to him today.

Welcome back to the Work IN. Today I’d like to begin a series of episodes on integrating trauma informed principles in the fitness industry. Ready or not, everyone who comes to you for health and fitness goals is also carrying some level of stress and trauma and being affected bay that in known and unknown ways. And Fun fact, you are too.

My guest today is Andrea Hanson, M. Ed. We talk a lot about trauma informed instruction, trauma informed relationships, and things like that on this podcast, and I think we need to dig a little bit deeper into what exactly that means, what it looks like, and how we can really bring it into the real world.
