How Childhood Trauma Affects Your Body: Insights from Ronni and Jennie

Episode Overview

  • Childhood trauma can lead to long-term health issues like autoimmune diseases and chronic pain.
  • Increased cortisol levels from living in fight-or-flight mode are a key factor.
  • Healing modalities such as Reiki, breathwork, yoga, and meditation can offer relief.
  • Recognising the link between trauma and physical health is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Both traditional medicine and alternative treatments have roles to play in recovery.
Living in this very intense environment puts you in fight or flight...and that dysregulation of your fight or flight system can wear down the various functions of the body.
In this episode, sisters Ronni Tichenor and Jennie Weaver dive deep into the lasting physical impacts of childhood trauma. They share their personal stories of growing up in a home filled with addiction, abuse, and mental illness, and how these experiences have shaped their health over the years. From increased cortisol levels leading to autoimmune diseases and weight issues, to chronic pain and gastrointestinal problems, the sisters cover it all.
They discuss the science behind these effects, citing research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and how trauma is stored in the body. The episode is not just about the problems but also about finding healing. Ronni and Jennie talk about various healing modalities they've explored, including Reiki, breathwork, yoga, and meditation. They stress the importance of recognising the link between trauma and physical health and encourage seeking both traditional and alternative treatments.
The episode is a heartfelt conversation filled with empathy, hope, and practical advice for anyone dealing with the long-term effects of childhood trauma. If you've ever wondered why you struggle with certain health issues despite your best efforts, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of community. Tune in to understand more about how your past might be affecting your present and what steps you can take towards healing.
