When we can't release the trauma that we experience, it actually gets lodged in our memory network, both cognitively and also somatically.
Ever wondered how physical health intertwines with mental well-being in trauma recovery? This episode of the Bear Psychology Podcast features Dr. Anna Baranowsky in conversation with Dr. Cammy Froude, a postdoctoral fellow in Medical Family Therapy and an expert in trauma and health. Dr. Froude brings a refreshing and dynamic approach to understanding how medical and mental health intersect, especially when dealing with trauma. Dr.
Froude sheds light on the importance of addressing not just the emotional but also the physical layers of pain that come with trauma. She discusses how somatic experiences—those felt in the body—play a crucial role in psychotherapy. From sudden illnesses to medical errors, she explains how these physical experiences can deeply impact our mental health. One of the standout points is Dr. Froude's discussion on Medically Unexplained Physical Symptoms (MUPS).
These are physical symptoms that don't have a clear medical cause but can become more pronounced during times of stress. Recognizing and understanding these symptoms can help us live more fully and manage our triggers better. Dr. Froude also touches on the use of various mind-body strategies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help patients process their trauma.
Her insights into how trauma affects memory and cognition are both enlightening and practical for anyone dealing with trauma or working in the field. If you're curious about how your physical health can affect your mental state and vice versa, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in the holistic approach to trauma recovery.
