Dr. Aimie is back with another eye-opening episode of The Biology of Trauma™. This time, she dives into the deep-seated effects of early attachment shocks on our development. You might not even realise you've experienced one, but these unexpected stressors can leave a lasting imprint on your mind and body. Dr. Aimie explains what a heart shock is and how it can affect your attachment and survival instincts from a very young age.
She uses real-life examples to illustrate how these shocks can disrupt our nervous system, leading to long-term issues such as autoimmune diseases and emotional dysregulation. The episode also explores the concept of neuroception - how our nervous system constantly assesses danger and safety based on early experiences. One particularly moving segment features Susan, a professional in training, who shares her insights on birth trauma and its impact on muscle memory and overall development. Dr.
Aimie emphasises the importance of recognising these early shocks and being the hero for that part of yourself that was affected. If you're looking to understand the hidden layers of trauma and how to begin healing, this episode is a must-listen.
