Your brain is stuck, and the more that you live your life growing up in the limbic, the more that you live out of your life in the limbic instead of living in your frontal cortex...
Ever wondered how trauma shapes your brain and behavior? In this thought-provoking episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Cynthia Moreno Tuohy, the executive director of Naadac, to unpack the intricate relationship between trauma and brain function. Cynthia shares her own experiences with trauma, revealing how it can disrupt decision-making and foster toxic thinking patterns.
She dives into the concept of 'living in the limbic system', a state where anger and impulsive reactions often take over. But it's not all doom and gloom. Cynthia offers a fresh perspective on recovery, introducing the idea of 'romancing the brain'. This involves fostering positive relationships and giving to others as a way to heal and strengthen brain health.
The conversation also touches on dual disorders, where mental illness and substance use disorders coexist, and highlights the comprehensive support offered by Westbridge Community Services. Whether you're navigating your own recovery journey or supporting a loved one, this episode is packed with practical tips for promoting brain health and achieving long-term change. Tune in to discover how collaboration, empathy, and emotional intelligence can pave the way to a fulfilling life.
