        Family Medicine Doctor
        This presenter was truly amazing. I loved how she entered the space with humility, kindness and a trigger warning-encouraging us to take care of ourselves. Great information disseminated in a manner that was so easy to digest and learn. This was really informative and helpful. I will use this, particularly information about cringe and flatter as a trauma response in addition to fight, flight and freeze.
