All the episodes are about teaching emotional regulation through mindfulness, and this is one of the major ways that I think we can make progress with things like rad. They are shut down almost Brad-like in their inability to attach to others.
Imagine feeling like you’re constantly on high alert, unable to trust or connect with those around you. In this episode of 'Mindful Recovery', Robert Cox dives into how trauma disrupts our ability to regulate emotions and build meaningful connections. Trauma often rewires our nervous system, making it challenging to feel safe around others. But what if there was a way to change that?
Cox unpacks the science behind mindfulness as a tool for healing, explaining how practices like focused breathing and self-reflection can help create a safe emotional space for recovery. He discusses the fight-or-flight response triggered by trauma and its impact on our relationships, as well as how hypervigilance and sensory overload play into this dynamic. The episode also touches on reactive attachment disorder, highlighting how deeply ingrained feelings of unmet needs can affect us on a body-brain level.
Cox emphasizes that emotional regulation through mindfulness can pave the way for overcoming these hurdles. Throughout the episode, he encourages listeners to honestly assess their own connections and consider reaching out to those who might need support. By integrating mindfulness into our lives, we can start to rebuild those bridges of connection that trauma has torn down. Tune in to learn practical steps towards emotional regulation and discover the power of genuine human connection in your journey to recovery.
