They can not only cover the balance that trauma has disrupted- the physiological and psychological balance. They can also become more whole and healthier than they've ever been.
Ever thought about how self-awareness and self-care can help you heal from trauma? Dr. James Gordon, an American author and psychiatrist, has dedicated his career to exploring just that. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Dr. Gordon to discuss his book, *The Transformation: Discovering Wholeness and Healing After Trauma*. Dr.
Gordon, founder of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine and a professor at Georgetown Medical School, shares his unique approach to healing psychological trauma through mind-body medicine. Dr. Gordon introduces techniques like soft belly breathing, a form of focused meditation that calms the emotional center of the brain. He also discusses expressive meditation and body shaking as ways to engage the imagination and intuition, helping individuals process emotions and find inner peace.
Drawing is another tool he highlights, offering a way for people to visualize their internal struggles and gain new perspectives. The episode delves into the work of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, which teaches self-care techniques to heal widespread psychological trauma. Dr. Gordon emphasizes that healing is a personal journey; what works for one person might not work for another. He believes in making these healing practices accessible to everyone, democratizing both shamanic and psychiatric methods.
With a blend of hope and practical advice, Dr. Gordon encourages listeners to explore different ways to heal and find what works best for them. Whether you're dealing with trauma yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into the healing process.
