What if your physical health issues actually stem from childhood trauma? Whether you’re struggling with chronic fatigue, digestive issues, or autoimmune conditions, healing from your past might actually heal your body.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Aimie Apigian, physician, trauma expert, and author of The Biology of Trauma. Dr. Aimie explains how trauma doesn’t just affect your emotions—it impacts your physical health too. Fortunately, you can heal from the inside out by addressing the mind-body connection.

Some of the things we talk about are:

  • How trauma gets stored in the body and shows up as physical symptoms
  • Why traditional approaches to trauma recovery might not be effective
  • Why so many medical professionals don't ask about trauma
  • The surprising role of safety in the recovery process
  • Why small, consistent steps are the key to rewiring your nervous system
  • How to create daily practices that help you feel safe and grounded

By the end of the episode, you’ll have actionable strategies to start healing your body and mind as you grow mentally stronger.
