Check out CURE Epilepsy’s most recent episode of the Seizing Life podcast , “Epilepsy and Medical Trauma: Recognizing, Accepting, and Healing.”

Medical trauma is a common, and often overlooked, experience for people living with epilepsy, their caregivers, and their families. This episode explores how it shows up in daily life, when it may be time to seek support, and practical tools to begin healing.

The conversation features Dr. James Jackson, psychologist and neuropsychologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and author of Reclaiming Your Life from Medical Trauma. As the son of a parent with epilepsy, he brings both professional expertise and personal insight into the emotional impact epilepsy can have on individuals and those who love them.
