Trauma Impacts the Body and the Mind

Activate: Sixteen Conversations about Gender-based Violence

Today my conversation is with Dr Susanna Petche, a medical doctor who works with a holistic treatment approach, integrating medicine together with a personal and academic understanding of psychological trauma. Scientists have more evidence than ever before revealing the intertwined relationship between the mind and body. We see this with gut health's influence over our mental health, but we also see it with the very real physical manifestations of trauma on the body.

You'll hear about:

  • Why we suppress traumatic experiences
  • Our need for an expanded definition of trauma
  • How our bodies process stressful events
  • Links between trauma and health conditions
  • Why the current separation between mind and body is artificial.
