First, we must learn to connect with our body and develop a felt sense of safety before we can address the thoughts and health symptoms.
Picture a life where past traumas don't just haunt you, but shape every aspect of your being. This episode of 'The Biology of Trauma' with Dr. Aimie Apigian introduces us to Heather, a woman who faced her trauma head-on and emerged with newfound strength and insight. Heather's story is one of loss, love, and the transformative power of somatic work.
After losing her birth mother as an infant and being adopted by a loving family, Heather grew up with unaddressed trauma that followed her into adulthood. The challenges of motherhood brought these issues to the forefront, revealing defense mechanisms she had mistaken for personality traits. Heather's journey took a significant turn when she joined the 21-day journey to calm aliveness, an online program designed to address trauma at its root.
This experience not only brought her joy but also allowed her to be present in ways she had never felt before. In this episode, Dr. Aimie and Heather dive deep into the importance of self-healing as a foundation for supporting loved ones. Heather shares how her healing process positively impacted her family, emphasizing that the best way to help others is to first help yourself.
Through somatic exercises and mentor training, Heather learned to connect with her body and create new, joyful experiences that foster a sense of safety and calm aliveness. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the profound impact of trauma on family dynamics and the transformative potential of somatic work. It's a powerful reminder that healing starts within and radiates outward, touching the lives of those we care about most.
