The Doctor Is IN! podcast explores various dimensions of counter-trafficking work. As a physician I focus on the intersection of health and human trafficking, but I also interview other leaders in grass-roots organizations. These are people you never hear about but are making a tremendous impact. I also explore other aspects such as human trafficking prevention and mental health issues. Thanks for listening! Learn something and be inspired!

This episode is all about the connection between sleep and trauma. What are the sleep disturbances that people with PTSD or chronic trauma suffer and what kind of things can one do to sleep better?
This is NOT medical advice, is not a substitute for visiting your physician and is not entirely comprehensive. I wanted to give an overview about sleep, how trauma and PTSD disrupts sleep, and some suggestions for how to sleep better.
