Ever wondered how stress and trauma shape your body's response systems? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast with DocSnipes', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes unpacks the complexities of HPA-Axis dysfunction. The HPA-Axis, a crucial part of our stress response system, often goes haywire due to chronic stress or traumatic experiences. Dr. Snipes breaks down how this dysfunction manifests, from sleep issues to PTSD symptoms, and explains the biopsychosocial factors at play.
You'll hear about the significant role of social support in managing these challenges and discover practical interventions to help regulate the HPA-Axis. Whether you're dealing with stress yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into how our bodies and minds respond to prolonged pressure. Dr. Snipes also touches on the effects of alcohol and caffeine on HPA-Axis function, making this a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of mental health and physiological responses.
