This episode explores how trauma actually works in the long term, both in the brain and how it manifests in the body, and gives some practical advise for working with people suffering from PTSD.
This episode talks about:
Trauma is data with no file/context
Replays until normalized or filing place found
Emotionally always trying to get back to the moment before
This shows up in behavior such as frustration, short temper, impatience, feeling like no one understands
Also shows up in the body in these ways: menstrual cramps, difficult childbirth, intense menopause symptoms
As trainers, we want to gently guide our clients back to the now, and we can do that by helping be in their bodies.
