-
- Bildung
Today, Simone engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Russ Irwin, an experienced marriage counseling guru and executive coach, about the different aspects of trauma, including its definition, effects on health, and potential causes. Dr. Irwin provides valuable insights into the structural and functional aspects of brain injuries, the rewiring of the brain due to trauma, and the various modalities available for processing and healing trauma.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Trauma can be stored vertically in the brain, at subcortical regions that are often inaccessible by language, making traditional talk therapy less effective.
Complex PTSD (CPTSD) is on the rise, with an increase of 5,000% in trauma-related issues, leading to an epidemic that requires attention and understanding.
Trauma can lead to rewiring of the brain, impacting emotional regulation, memory processing, and overall brain function, resulting in functional injuries rather than just structural ones.
Dissociation can be a defense mechanism in response to trauma, serving as a protective mechanism to cope with overwhelming experiences.
The brain's capacity to process trauma and experiences is vast, with potential for utilizing a higher percentage of brain capacity for creative and mystical experiences, beyond the typical 8-14% utilized in daily life.
BEST MOMENTS
"The brain has two aspects to it. It has structure and it has function."
"So in other words, I got kicked in the head, something got dented, and so I have an injury. Here's the result. I snap my arm, here's my injury."
"You have a rational side of your brain. You have an emotional side of your brain. The two switches can't be on at the same time."
"Childhood experiences create adult behaviors, adult belief systems, and adult debilitations."
