Have you ever wondered why you are so reactive - to people, foods, smells, sounds and stress - while other people around you seem completely fine? Y ou are going in overdrive or even going into overwhelm, and think you just must be having a bad day or looking for what triggered you.  The answer might surprise you. A specific cell of your immune system, mast cells, could be actually causing trauma responses in your body, putting you into emotional states, that have less to do with the people around you and more with a compound those cells release, histamine.   Today we're tackling a commonly overlooked underlying reason for anxiety. We will be answering the question, How do mast cell activation and mold toxicity keep us stuck in our responses and triggers to trauma? Before we dive in, I want to dedicate this episode to the loving memory of our guest Beth O'Hara, who passed away in July 2024.  Beth was a pioneering functional naturopath who transformed countless lives through her work with Mast Cell 360, helping people understand and heal from complex cases of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), mold toxicity, and related conditions. She was a friend to me and I am sad to not have more time and conversations with her. In this episode, you'll discover: How to recognize if histamine is driving your anxiety  Why mold exposure can keep your body stuck in trauma responses long after exposure How mast cells bridge your immune system and emotional overwhelm Why and how mast cells will block your ability to create inner safety  Practical tools to decrease reactivity and build resilience For more information and show notes, please visit our website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/

It's not that you try to forget them; you try to ignore them. But there's that pain of knowing that you've lost things you wanted—things you maybe worked for—and because of your addiction, you had to give them away, or they were taken away.” “It's important that we all recognize our natural rhythms and accommodate them to the best of our ability.” “The positive choices rewire the brain. And when you make good positive choices in your recovery, it's a new normal.” “Challenge your own thoughts if you find yourself caught in negative loops.” “Success in life is more about having meaningful work, challenging but not too much, and a balanced life.” “You have to decide what you're going to do about the pain you've experienced and hopefully find a way to heal and give back to others.” “When you get to work on time, today and tomorrow and the next day, you do that for a month, that it's usually a habit. It's not a struggle anymore. That's your new normal.” BOOKS MENTIONED: The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain and Body in the Transformation of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk (https://a.co/d/hNTWHiq) Girl Walks Out of a Bar by Lisa F.

[34:15] - Outro NOTABLE QUOTES: “The life of having a meth use disorder—it's not a happy life. It's pretty miserable. But I knew that I had to deal with my trauma because if I didn't, I was never going to really be happy.” “Don't think about what it's going to take for you to get out of the building today. Think about what it's going to take you to get out of this room, and then once you get out of this room, into the hall, and so on.” “It's helpful to listen to what worked for other people. It's helpful to read other ideas because they're sources of information that may help you. It's just that you're the decision-maker.” “It took a long time and a lot of work for me... It was a lot harder and took much longer for me to recover from the trauma than from my substance use disorder.” “One of the dangers of our society right now is that everywhere we turn, there are promises of instant success or instant changing of a problem into something that's great. That's not reality. If you spend a lifetime tying knots in your rope, you can't expect to have them all untied just because you took a pill or you went to an hour with some shrink.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://junkietojudge.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-beth-o-connor-8aaa4b121/  https://x.com/MaryBethO_  https://www.facebook.com/marybeth.holuboconnor/ “From Junkie to Judge: One Woman's Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction” (https://a.co/d/fBuYR61) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen  Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA  EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/
