Nature tells us that the baby really needs a very intimate level of support...and when babies are crawling they make that connection through the thrust up the leg, through the bones of the leg, into the hip socket and stabilize and establish healthy hip sockets and trigger that whole level of the brain to open it up to receive all of the incoming sensory issues, the sensory feelings that we're talking about now.
Ever wondered why admitting 'I don't know' can feel so challenging? In this eye-opening episode of The Biology of Trauma™, Dr. Aimie teams up with Bette Lamont from NeuroDevelopmental Movement to uncover the roots of this common struggle. Bette, a seasoned counselor and therapist with over 35 years of experience, shares her journey from working with children with learning disabilities to focusing on trauma prevention.
Together, they explore how early developmental trauma impacts children's ability to express uncertainty and how this fear can shape their mental health later in life. Bette delves into how our culture often disrupts the crucial bond between primary caregivers and infants, leading to a cascade of developmental issues like learning impediments, emotional problems, and attention disorders. She emphasizes that while these issues have become typical, they are far from natural.
The conversation highlights the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for children during their formative years. Dr. Aimie and Bette also discuss the biological underpinnings of trauma, including how hormones influence a child's sense of safety and the long-term effects of disrupted bonding. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for parents, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the deep-seated impacts of trauma on development.
If you're curious about how early trauma can shape a child's ability to navigate life's uncertainties and want practical advice on fostering a supportive environment, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the intricate ways trauma affects our biology and learn strategies to support healing and growth.
