How do individuals turn their lives around after trauma? In this captivating episode of 'The Biology of Trauma™ With Dr. Aimie,' listeners are taken on a journey through the intricate relationship between trauma and chronic illness. Dr. Aimie Apigian, along with insights from Dr. Karestan Koenen, unravels the mystery behind why time alone doesn't heal all wounds.
By exploring concepts like allostatic load and metabolic syndrome, the episode sheds light on how unresolved trauma can manifest in our bodies, affecting both mental and physical health. Dr. Aimie passionately explains how the nervous system reacts to stress and trauma, likening it to a sprint that can't be sustained indefinitely. She delves into the science of stress versus trauma response, drawing on the work of pioneers like Dr. Hans Selye and Dr. Stephen Porges.
Listeners will find themselves questioning common beliefs about healing and understanding the importance of addressing unresolved experiences to prevent chronic health issues. Through engaging discussions and personal anecdotes, Dr. Aimie offers practical advice on recognising and breaking free from the 'body trauma loop'—a cycle of stress and breakdown that many unknowingly live with. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the biology of trauma and seeking a path to genuine healing.
So, are you ready to challenge what you thought you knew about healing and discover new pathways to health? Tune in to learn how to transform your biology from one of trauma to one of healing.
