Manage episode 508241104 series 3005690
Trauma affects so many of us – often in ways we don’t even realize. From fear, pain, and overwhelm to patterns passed down through generations, it shapes our health, emotions, and relationships.
Dr. Aimie Apigian, physician, researcher, and leading voice on the biology of trauma, offers a fresh, science-backed approach to understanding how trauma lives in the body. As the author of the groundbreaking book The Biology of Trauma, she explains trauma at a cellular level and shares practical tools to regain safety, calm, and balance.
She also explores why healing doesn’t always start with revisiting the past, how to regulate your nervous system, and ways small, intentional practices can support genuine recovery.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How trauma can show up in your body and influence daily life
- The five universal stages of a trauma response and why they matter
- How to recognize if your body is stuck in survival mode
- Ways to distinguish stress from trauma
- Simple strategies to create safety and calm in your body
Discover a new perspective on the biology of trauma and the reassurance that whole-body healing is possible.
