The Biology Behind It: Shutdown Before Stress

Did you know that your body could literally be "rusting from the inside out" when stuck in trauma? This biological reality explains why so many develop chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, and other mysterious health conditions.

In this mini-episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind why trauma creates chronic illness, building on her discussion from Episode 122 about addressing trauma stored in the body. She answers a listener's question about why her clients seem to struggle with chronic health issues and what can actually be done about it.

You'll learn more on:

• What oxidative stress is (and how being in survival state can cause it to accumulate)
• Why chronic illness can show up decades after traumatic experiences 
• Specific steps you can take to reduce oxidative stress
• A simple technique to shift out of shutdown throughout the day
• Why talk therapy alone isn't enough
