Dr. Bill Saunders on Trauma: Rethinking Recovery and Mental Health

If you understand somebody's trauma and if you ask the question what happened rather than what is wrong with you, you actually get to the core of the matter, the heart of the matter.
What if the key to understanding trauma lies not in asking 'what's wrong with you?' but 'what happened to you?' In this episode of Toni TV, host Toni Lontis sits down with Dr. Bill Saunders, a psychologist and psychotherapist who is challenging traditional psychiatric approaches. Dr. Saunders dives deep into the world of trauma, explaining how it rewires the brain for protection, often leading to stress and suppression.
He emphasizes that the strategies we learn from our primary caregivers to cope with trauma may not hold up as we age, leaving us vulnerable when we need support the most. Dr. Saunders also discusses the crucial role of managing alcohol and drug issues for maintaining good mental health. He believes that understanding the root causes of trauma can lead to more effective recovery strategies, rather than relying solely on psychiatric diagnoses.
This episode offers valuable insights into the complexities of trauma and recovery, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by or supporting someone through these challenges. Listeners will find this conversation both enlightening and practical, as Dr. Saunders shares his expertise on how to navigate the often tumultuous journey of trauma recovery. Whether you're dealing with trauma yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a fresh perspective on how to approach mental health and healing.
