135. Understanding Trauma Responses and Toxic Stress to Optimize Health and Reprogram Your Brain and Nervous System with Dr. Amy Hoyt

Everyone has trauma and toxic stress. You don't need to have gone through some major life altering event to have unresolved trauma (I mean the last 3 years were traumatic enough for most parents!).

In this episode, I dive deep with Dr. Amy Hoyt on different types of trauma response and toxic stress, common symptoms of unresolved trauma in high-achieving women, and ways we can tune into our bodies to heal from trauma and stop generational trauma so we can optimize our health and happiness.

Dr. Amy Hoyt is the founder of Mending Trauma, a digital mental health company that specializes in trauma recovery, and the co-host of the Universe is Your Therapist podcast with her sister, Leina Hoyt.

Dr. Hoyt is certified in trauma and traumatic stress studies and what I love the most about her work is that she does it from a whole health and holistic psychology perspective. She is passionate about teaching others to reprogram their brains and heal their nervous systems so they can overcome thoughts, triggers and behaviors stemming from past trauma. 

On top of it all, Amy is a mom of 5 children, 3 of whom have special needs.
