Trigger warning: early life stress, child abuse, spousal abuse.

In today’s episode, we speak to Dr. Erin Dunn, social and psychiatric epidemiologist at Harvard University. We discuss the difference between stress, early life adversity, and childhood trauma. We learn about the long-term effects of adversity and what parents can do to mediate or buffer them. Dr. Dunn answers questions from the audience using scientific research as evidence. 

My favorite part of the episode is talking about TEETH! But why teeth? Dr. Dunn studies the layers within your child’s baby teeth to understand how early life stress can be recorded in tooth development. This discussion is absolutely fascinating, I’m so sure you’re going to love it!
