How Trauma Affects Basketball Performanc...

About this episode

An advanced episode on how trauma affects basketball performance, and some advice on how to begin resolving it.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: I am not a therapist, and this talk is not a replacement for proper therapy or psychiatric care. We share this discussion simply to bring awareness to the topic for those who are interested. For those who would like to go deeper into trauma and trauma resolution, we recommend starting with the book "Waking The Tiger" by Dr. Peter Levine, and/or working with a qualified Somatic Experiencing practitioner.
