Episode Overview
- Unresolved trauma can become part of our biology.
- Major disease studies often overlook the impact of trauma.

- Epigenetics can help catch changes caused by trauma early.
- Resilience involves finding meaning despite symptoms.
"Unaddressed, unresolved, unhealed trauma does not disappear. It becomes our biology."
How do decades-old experiences still linger in our bodies, rewriting our biology? This intriguing episode of 'The Biology of Trauma™ With Dr. Aimie' takes you on a journey through the complexities of trauma and its long-term effects on our health. Dr. Aimie is joined by Dr. Karestan Koenen, a Harvard researcher who has spent over two decades studying the impact of trauma on women's health.
Her research, involving over 100,000 women, reveals how unaddressed trauma doesn't just fade away; it embeds itself into our biology. The conversation challenges the old adage that 'time heals all wounds,' suggesting instead that unresolved trauma becomes a part of us at a cellular level. Dr. Koenen shares eye-opening findings on how stalking affects heart health and what epigenetics tells us about early intervention.
The episode also touches on why major disease studies often overlook trauma and the implications of this oversight. Dr. Aimie and Dr. Koenen discuss the importance of resilience and how individuals can find meaning and healing even while experiencing symptoms. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the deep-seated effects of trauma and the potential pathways to healing. It leaves you pondering the profound question: What if addressing trauma could change your biology for the better?
