Surviving Trauma and Having a Few Laughs with Ophira Eisenberg

Ophira Eisenberg once believed that everyone had a trauma quota,
a maximum amount of hardship that a person would face in life and
once that mark was hit, nothing bad would ever happen again. It
was a way of comforting herself after a car accident at age eight
that seriously injured Ophira and killed her friend. Turns out
that’s not how life works and Ophira still had cancer and a
miscarriage to deal with later on. Ophira joins us for a wise and
actually very funny conversation about trauma, being an “awful
patient”, and healing.
