The Trauma Doctor - with Sam Thomas

“In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Different Hats Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Susanna Petche, a GP, trauma specialist, and CPTSD survivor, for one of the most open, vulnerable, and important conversations I’ve ever had on the show.

“Susanna shares her lived experience of sexual trauma, misdiagnosis, and the long road to healing. We talk honestly about what it means to be trauma-informed, in healthcare, education, workplaces, and in our day-to-day lives, and why reframing success starts with emotional safety.

“In this episode, we explore:

• The hidden epidemic of trauma and CPTSD

• How trauma shows up in the body and mind

• Why vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness

• Emotional intelligence and the future of education

• Letting go of old success stories and rewriting new ones

• How healing can begin — even after decades of silence

“Whether you’re a parent, a leader, an educator, or simply someone on your own healing journey, this episode is full of insight, honesty, and, most importantly—hope.”

“Healing is possible for everyone." – Dr. Susanna Petche
