Ever wondered how successful people can still feel stuck in survival mode? Dr. Aimie Apigian's latest episode is a fascinating exploration of the biology behind trauma and how it can freeze individuals in patterns established during childhood. Through the poignant story of Elena, a high-achieving Chief Operating Officer, listeners learn how her autoimmune diagnosis and her daughter's struggles led her to confront deep-seated trauma.
Elena's journey reveals how early experiences can shape our nervous system and keep us trapped in survival responses long into adulthood. Dr. Aimie explains that trauma is more than just emotional; it disrupts the movement of life at a cellular level. With humour and compassion, Dr. Aimie shares a roadmap to thaw from these frozen states and move towards living fully alive.
She delves into the importance of state shifts over neuroplasticity, illustrating how small somatic practices can create a felt sense of safety and presence. By focusing on foundational somatic practices, listeners can learn to break free from old patterns and embrace a life of authenticity, belonging, and flow. So, are you ready to thaw from your freeze response and embrace life with open arms?
