Episode Synopsis

Why do some people bounce back after trauma while others struggle for years? In this episode, Kent State psychology professor Karin Coifman unpacks the science of resilience. From her NIH-funded research following trauma survivors to her partnerships with first responders, Coifman shares what decades of data reveal about stress, healing, and mental health. She also discusses how her students are gaining hands-on research experience and what simple habits—like sleep, movement, and social connection—can make a lasting difference.
