The symptoms that we describe- for these quote mental health diagnoses- are the product of what our brain is doing and how our body is interpreting what's happening around us.
Imagine trying to make sense of the world as a child while carrying the heavy burden of trauma. In this episode of 'Minding Your Amygdala', Dr. Alauna Curry, a Trauma Psychiatrist, sheds light on how Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs) shape young minds and behaviors. Dr. Alauna explains that ACEs are more common than we might think, with a significant portion of the population having experienced violence, abuse, or neglect before turning 18.
The pandemic has only added to these challenges, creating a shared global trauma that affects children deeply. Dr. Alauna breaks down three prevalent issues faced by children who have endured ACEs: tantrums, trouble-making, and trust issues. These behaviors are not just random acts but predictable patterns stemming from their traumatic experiences. But there's hope. Dr. Alauna passionately discusses how empathy—simple acts of love and understanding—can be a powerful tool in helping these children heal.
Listeners will find practical strategies to support traumatized children, whether they are parents, caregivers, or educators. From recognizing and rewarding positive behaviors to understanding the power of words in soothing a traumatized brain, Dr. Alauna provides actionable advice. She emphasizes the importance of observing and acknowledging emotions in both oneself and others, creating a supportive environment for recovery.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to understand the profound impact of childhood trauma and the transformative power of empathy. Dr. Alauna’s empathetic approach and expert knowledge make this an essential listen for those committed to helping young hearts heal.
