## Resource

Trauma in kids isn’t always obvious, but kids are constantly taking in the world around them and paying attention to how we adults respond to it. Actor, comedian, and author Paul Scheer joins host Elise Hu for an honest and personal conversation about trauma and parenting. Paul opens up about his childhood experiences with trauma shared in his new memoir, Joyful Recollections of Trauma. He reflects on the complicated process of identifying trauma, the emotions that come up, and the importance of processing those emotions fully. Also, Paul talks about what it’s like to parent while still processing his past, and his best advice for slowing down in tough conversations with kids.
