What exactly causes childhood trauma?

DR. MONA AMIN
About this episode

Childhood trauma has unfortunately become a buzzword across social media where sometimes things are labeled as “trauma” that may not exactly be. Or maybe a parent is inadvertently doing something that can lead to trauma. On this episode I welcome Kobe Campbell, a licensed trauma therapist and author, to discuss : 


  • What is the definition of childhood trauma 
  • How not all crying is trauma
  • How to ask yourself if something you’re doing is traumatizing your child 
  • Holding your child for vaccines, giving meds, brushing teeth. Is this trauma?
  • Sleep-training-Is this trauma?
