Highlights from today's episode include:
Dr. Aimee Apigian
The trauma response is communicated through a different branch of our nervous system. It's not going to be communicated to the sympathetic chain. That is only the stress response. It only knows how to turn on the stress response and to initiate adrenaline. The trauma response then, is initiated by two triggers when that stress response has been activated.
Dr. Aimee Apigian
Those are the two triggers, that our body will say, Hmm, we actually, we're not big enough for this, we're not strong enough for this, we're not smart enough for this, we're not fill in the blank enough for this. And our better strategy, better strategy for surviving this moment in time is actually to shut down.
Dr. Aimee Apigian
And so, trauma is an energy problem. And it causes energy problems, it causes damage to our mitochondria starts to build up oxidative stress, not only outside of ourselves, but inside of ourselves. And just by the fact that the body is in the trauma response, it also shuts down our detoxification system.

Core purpose/passion: Fueled by how my life has been affected by attachment trauma starting with my father and then my son and then needing to address my own insecure attachment patterns, my mission is to share what I have learned to accelerate the healing journey of attachment trauma of others. Understanding attachment, trauma and the nervous system is just the beginning, and science and the experience of others are now confirming that even the most difficult of situations can improve without requiring years of therapy.
