Brain-Based Trauma Healing with Ava Profota: Insights on Positive Recovery MD

Positive recovery is not only about building, it also includes trauma resolution and shame, resilience, and there's more business as usual, which includes cognitive behavioral therapy, a lot of experiential stuff, nothing to the order of somatic experiencing or brain spotting.
What if you could heal your deepest traumas by tapping into the power of your brain? In this eye-opening episode of Positive Recovery MD, Dr. Jason Powers and Julie DeNofa sit down with Ava Profota, a seasoned licensed clinical social worker and certified addiction therapist. Ava brings her extensive expertise to the table, discussing how early life traumas and environmental factors shape our developmental brains.
She sheds light on the science behind brain-based trauma interventions like somatic experiencing, EMDR, and brainspotting. Ever wondered where trauma resides in your brain and body? Ava breaks it down, explaining how these innovative techniques can unlock those hidden corners of pain and facilitate healing. She also dives into the importance of advanced resourcing in brainspotting, which involves harnessing positive energy, feelings, and thoughts to aid in trauma resolution.
But it's not all about the technicalities; Ava and the hosts also explore the role of joy in the healing process and how cultivating positive habits can transform your life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the intricacies of trauma and discover practical tools for recovery. Tune in to gain valuable insights and start your journey towards a happier, healthier you.
