The trauma is both a wound. But the wound is, so trauma is not whether you're abused or your parents don't know how to love you or your parents are troubled or addicted or violent with each other. Those are not the traumas. Those are the traumatic events that evoke the trauma but the trauma is what happens inside you and begins with that very disconnection which is the good news because if the trauma is what happened to you when you were a kid or what happened to your son when he was very small or what happened to me as an infant? If that was the trauma, there's nothing we can do about it because it happened. But if the trauma is what happens inside of us, those disconnections, that can be repaired.
Imagine your body trying to tell you something important, but you just can't understand the language. In this episode of 'The Biology of Trauma with Dr. Aimie', Dr. Aimie Apigian teams up with the renowned Dr. Gabor Mate to decode how unresolved trauma shows up in our bodies. Dr. Mate, known for his work in addiction medicine and palliative care, brings his deep understanding of the body’s stress responses to the table.
Together, they explore how trauma isn't just a mental or emotional experience but one that leaves physical marks on our health. They dive into the cellular level of trauma, discussing how it disrupts our body's natural balance and manifests as various health issues. They touch on the role of community and support systems in the healing process, highlighting that recovery is not a solo journey.
If you've ever wondered why your body feels out of sync or why certain health problems persist despite treatments, this episode offers eye-opening insights. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the intricate dance between trauma and physical health, and how reconnecting with yourself and your community can pave the way to healing.
