Harnessing Mind-Body Techniques for PTSD Recovery

If we're giving the body all of the building blocks it needs to make the serotonin, the norepinephrine, the cortisol, the testosterone- all that stuff- then the system, the body factory, is going to be able to run more efficiently, which can directly influence mood.
Imagine finding a way to heal from PTSD that goes beyond traditional therapies. In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes dives into evidence-based practices that connect the mind and body in the journey to recovery. She covers a range of topics, from the promising use of beta blockers to the critical role of exercise and inflammation reduction. Dr.
Snipes also explores how hormones like progesterone and estrogen affect fear processing, and the surprising link between obesity and mood. She doesn't stop there—trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure-based therapy, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy are all highlighted as effective treatments for PTSD. Cognitive restructuring and the emotional freedom technique (EFT) are also discussed, offering tools to manage flashbacks and re-experiencing. Plus, the importance of quality sleep and understanding the menstrual cycle's impact on PTSD symptoms are also touched upon.
This episode is a treasure trove for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of PTSD recovery, whether you're a professional or someone personally affected by trauma.
