Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of “The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It.”

Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of “The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It,” details how unaddressed trauma is often the hidden cause of many preventable illnesses and is linked to eight of the ten leading causes of death. The conversation delves into the physiological responses to trauma, the mechanisms by which trauma can manifest in chronic physical ailments, and the importance of incorporating a holistic approach that includes addressing mental, somatic, and biological impacts of trauma. Dr. Apigian also shares insights from her personal journey and professional evolution, emphasizing the need for a combination of medical treatment and trauma work for optimal health.

So many women in midlife are running on fumes—stretched thin, burned out, and downplaying what they've experienced just to make it through the day. But all that stress can show up in your physical body, affecting your biology at a cellular level.  That's why in this episode, I'm sitting down with trauma and biology expert Dr. Aimie Apigian to uncover how unprocessed trauma can manifest in the form of physical symptoms.  Dr. Aimie shares how overtime, those hidden shifts can alter your immune system and even set the stage for disease years later.  The good news? Healing doesn't have to be complicated!  Dr. Aimie introduces simple practices that can help you shift your inner state in seconds and learn to process your trauma with care.  Tune in here to explore how reconnecting with your biology can help you feel more alive than ever!  Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH Aimie Apigian is a double board-certified physician in preventive and addiction medicine. She has masters in biochemistry and public health and specialized training in Psychosomatic Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Mental Health Nutrition. Dr. Aimie is a functional medicine physician with specialized training in neuro-autoimmunity, nutrition, and genetics for addictions, mental health, mood, and behavioral disorders. She has extensive training in trauma therapy, which has formed her knowledge and services in trauma, attachment, and addiction medicine, focusing on trauma at a cellular level.  IN THIS EPISODE How the body biologically absorbs experiences of trauma  Recognizing adaptations and better managing reactions The importance of finding safety in the whole body  How your lifestyle affects your emotions  Why effective healing from trauma takes time and work   Stress biology vs. trauma biology All about Dr. Aimie's new book: The Biology of Trauma  QUOTES “Anything that overwhelms our capacity to respond becomes a trauma for our body. And those changes impact us down to the cellular level– the immune system level. They are what become our diseases often decades later.” “The greatest impact on their life was me teaching them a few simple somatic self-practices that could shift their inner state to one safe enough within seconds.” “It really shifted my perspective to know how much more alive I could be– I don't even know the possibilities because I've never lived that. I've never been that. I've never been that version of myself. And it keeps me in a place of curiosity, it keeps me in a place of learning.”RESOURCES MENTIONED

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why grief feels like it's taking over your entire body? That's because it is. Grief isn't merely an emotion—it's a full-body experience that reshapes your breath patterns, disrupts your routines, rewires your nervous system, and fundamentally alters how your brain processes reality. Traditional psychology often treats grief as a series of emotional stages, but neuroscience reveals something far more profound happening beneath the surface.When someone you love dies, you lose more than their presence. You lose a biological co-regulator—someone whose voice calmed your vagus nerve, whose routines anchored your daily rhythms, whose existence formed part of your brain's map of safety. This explains why grief can feel so physically disorienting. Your nervous system keeps expecting responses that will never come, triggering stress signals that manifest as anxiety, exhaustion, or a strange emptiness that seems to travel through your body.The healing path through grief isn't about "moving on" or "getting over it." It's about neural reorganization—finding new ways for your brain to map safety in a world without your person. This podcast explores the biological dimensions of grief, including why the brain struggles to process loss, how grief impacts emotional regulation, and why community support isn't just emotionally comforting but biologically necessary for healing. We'll also guide you through a nervous system meditation designed specifically to create new pathways of safety and integration.Ready to understand your grief journey from both scientific and soulful perspectives?

Targeting Anxiety to Improve Sleep Disturbance: A Randomized Clinical Trial of App-Based Mindfulness TrainingIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and colleagues discuss a novel randomized clinical trial examining the impact of the Unwinding Anxiety app on improving sleep disturbances caused by anxiety and worry. The study demonstrates that app-based mindfulness training significantly reduces worry-related sleep disturbances (WRSDs), with a 27% reduction after two months of use. By increasing emotional nonreactivity and breaking worry cycles, participants also experienced meaningful improvements in anxiety and overall sleep quality. The conversation highlights how app-based mindfulness interventions can provide scalable, accessible solutions for addressing widespread sleep and anxiety issues.Full Reference:Gao, M., Roy, A., Deluty, A., Sharkey, K.

In this episode, I dive deep into the fascinating intersections of science and spirituality. Are we all connected in ways that go beyond what we can see or measure? From the mysteries of quantum physics and consciousness studies to the neuroscience behind meditation and near-death experiences, I explore how science is beginning to reveal insights that resonate with ancient spiritual teachings. Join me as I discuss the interconnected nature of reality, the potential for meditation to rewire the brain, and groundbreaking studies on consciousness that challenge conventional ideas about the mind. Whether you're a science enthusiast, a spiritual seeker, or just curious, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the big questions about life, connection, and the universe.

Ślachetne zdrowie,Nikt się nie dowie,Jako smakujesz,Aż się zepsujesz.No więc ja nie chcę być tym smakoszem, co to się delektuje musztardą po obiedzie.Na warsztat bierzemy kolejny wymiar dobrostanu według narzędzia Wellbeing Score by @multilife czyli zdrowie fizyczne. I zapytacie “ale co Ty nam dziunia opowiesz o zdrowiu fizycznym, jak Ty nawet lekarzem nie jesteś?”. Doktorem niby tak, ale takim, ale bez strzykawy i stetoskopu, he he. W kompetencje lekarskie mieszać się nie będę, ALE: O lęku o zdrowie i tym, co nas przed dbaniem o nie powstrzymuje, już do powiedzenia co nieco mam. Na przykład amerykański National Institute of Mental Health podaje: Ryzyko wystąpienia depresji jest wyższe u osób cierpiących na choroby przewlekłe. I w drugą stronę: Wyzwania związane z wykonywaniem zadań korzystnych dla zdrowia, takich jak prawidłowe odżywianie i ćwiczenia, ze względu na objawy takie jak apatia w depresji także są utrudnione. Naczynia połączone, co nie? Więc wrzućmy na poznawczy ruszt unikanie, katastrofizację, objawy somatyczne, badania profilaktyczne, lęk przed krwią, aktywność fizyczną i zobaczmy, co nam z tego wyniknie.Zapraszam do kolejnego odcinka letniego wyzwania powered by @multilifeMontaż: Eugeniusz KarlovLiteratura:American Psychiatric Association, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 2013, 5th edition, American Psychiatric AssociationScarella, Timothy M.

Ten years and 8 autoimmune/chronic conditions into remission ago (in my Gettysburg address voice) I can tell you there is SO MUCH misinformation when it comes to autoimmune disease. So much that sometimes it makes me so angry with the medical profession.    Even our medical professionals don't readily share the truth about your body's ability to heal because they simply have been taught a different rhetoric.    Let's reprogram your rhetoric right here, right now, with the fact- filled research.   FREE One Day Detox https://www.inspirehealthbyjen.com/onedaydetox  Bloghttps://www.inspirehealthbyjen.com/work-with-jen    Alvergne, A., & Lummaa, V.

Molecular biologist Jerneja Caserta was born in Slovenia and got her Bachelor's degree in Molecular Biology in Italy. In 2002 she received her PhD at the same University studying function of proteins that participate in protein synthesis. However, since 2020 she has had to question much of what was previously taken for granted (and still is by her colleagues). In this informative and entertaining episode Jerneja takes us on her journey and process of awakening, which began primarily when she heard that PCR technology was being misused to diagnose so-called “co(n)vid-19” cases. As it happens, Jerneja has over 25 years of experience working with PCR technology and immediately recognised something was seriously wrong with the Narrative. As she quickly realised, there is no c-19 v!rus, and v!rology is a fraudulent branch of science controlled by Big Ph@rma. She now watches her colleagues for the day they too open their eyes and see the truth. Also discussed: her time as a member of the Left, her dalliance with communism, and her nascent interest in exploring the nature of reality and spirituality free of the fetters of the Roman-Catholic indoctrination of her youth.

Ex-pharma senior scientist and medical whistleblower Mike Donio joins me for an insightful and disturbing show centred around the highly dubious “science” underpinning the HIV-AIDS myth. He details how he came through the education system and into the pharmaceutical industry with the best of intentions, hoping to do good science to make the world a better place. However he soon began finding reasons to question what he had been told about “viruses”, how they were supposedly worked with, “proved,” and how they were identified as so-called disease-causing agents. It turned out that nothing about HIV was as it initially seemed. Eventually, Mike realised the realm of corporately controlled Science wasn't going to let him make a positive difference in the world, and was ultimately terminated from his job for refusing to take the experimental DNA-altering covax. Special Guest: Mike Donio.

In this episode of Truthiverse Brendan destroys the monkeypox narrative and provides several plausible alternative explanations for what causes pox symptoms. First we look at the impact of an acidic diet and lifestyle and then explore how toxicity can play a role in the creation of pox-like skin conditions. But that's just the warm up. Brendan then takes you on a fascinating tour through psychosomatic medicine and how the mind can unconsciously create a vast range of physiological symptoms, including pox, as well as those associated with "covid". We cover the role of suggestion, belief, mass mind control programming, media propaganda, the collective cognitive imperative, and mass-formation psychosis as it relates to the individual's health - or lack thereof - and the importance of impeccable psychological hygiene for maintaining good health. Don't miss this one. NOTE! This episode is can be listened to as per normal, but if you'd like the visual supplements then please see the video HERE (https://www.bitchute.com/video/7vAC8GOAUmVG/)

She also completed a fellowship in Psychosomatic Medicine at Stanford. She shares all about her upbringing, how she unexpectedly got pregnant during her senior year of high school, how she managed to get through college and into medical school even while raising her son, how she overcame discouragement about her chances to get into medical school, why she chose psychiatry, what it's like to be a psychiatrist at a large hospital, and what psychosomatic medicine is all about.

"The acknowledgment of guilt it's a prerequisite for reparation. There is no reparation without the acknowledgment of guilt and guilt arises when love and hatred come together within the same person. There is no need to feel guilt as long as we idealize a good object - there is no need to feel guilt as long as we have the bad object. When we discover that it is the same object, that our love feelings and our hatred are directed towards the same object, then guilt arises. I think of guilt more as a molecule, not as an atom."     Episode Description: We begin by clarifying the meaning of trauma from its commonplace references all the way to the trauma of parental figures maintaining a malignant view of their child. We discuss the impact of early trauma on development with particular attention to the limitations on the capacity for nuanced affect and symbolization. Heinz describes in detail how this level of concreteness lives in the analytic situation and is shared in the counter-transference. The analyst's ability to imperfectly tolerate the projection of badness into them is demonstrated in his clinical vignette. The patient describes herself, There is something in me which is part of me and not part of me which thinks that I only have a right to live if I feel bad. We learn how that addictive attachment to dependable badness sustains her until she needs it less over the course of her analysis. The deepening capacity to tolerate guilt and for whole object gratitude marks the analysand's healing.    Our Guest: Heinz Weiss, M.D., is the Head of the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine at the Robert Bosch Hospital in Stuttgart. He is also the head of the Medical Division and member of the directorate of the Sigmund-Freud Institute, Frankfurt/Main, and Chair of the Education Section of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis.    Linked Episodes:  https://harveyschwartzmd.com/2021/06/04/ep-9-a-gynecologist-psychoanalyst-treats-amenorrhea/  http://ipaoffthecouch.org/2019/06/29/episode-8-a-psychoanalyst-encounters-patients-with-addictions/    Recommended Readings:  Money-Kyrle, R.

Trauma, Guilt and Reparation: The Path from Impasse to Development (Routledge, 2019) identifies the emotional barriers faced by people who have experienced severe trauma, as well as the emergence of reparative processes which pave the way from impasse to development. The book explores the issue of trauma with particular reference to issues of reparation and guilt. Referencing the original work of Klein and others, it examines how feelings of persistent guilt work to foil attempts at reparation, locking trauma deep within the psyche. It provides a theoretical understanding of the interplay between feelings of neediness with those of fear, wrath, shame and guilt, and offers a route for patients to experience the mourning and forgiveness necessary to come to terms with their own trauma. The book includes a Foreword by John Steiner. Illustrated by clinical examples throughout, it is written by an author whose empathy and experience make him an expert in the field. The book will be of great interest to psychotherapists, social workers and any professional working with traumatized individuals. Heinz Weiss, M.D., is the Head of the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine at the Robert Bosch Hospital in Stuttgart. He is also the head of the Medical Division and member of the directorate of the Sigmund-Freud-Institute, Frankfurt/Main, and Chair of the Education Section of The International Journal of Psychoanalysis Philip Lance, PhD, is a psychoanalyst in Los Angeles.

Are you in benzo withdrawal? Do you feel stuck? Hopeless? Do you wish you could be more positive? More active? In part two of this three-part series, you will learn tips for improving your physical and mental health. Maintaining a positive mindset during withdrawal may sound like a near impossibility — but it's a goal worth fighting for. And keeping active — while a continuous struggle – can be equally as challenging but just as key to your sanity and success. https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/managing-the-fear-of-benzo-withdrawal-part-2-bfp004Video ID: BFP004 Chapters 00:00 Introduction02:27 Q&A08:15 Feature: Managing the Fear of Benzo Withdrawal (Part 2)23:07 Moment of Peace  Episode Summary Welcome to the second segment of our 3-part series on Managing the Fear of Benzo Withdrawal. This series is derived from a chapter in my book titled, “Managing the Fear,” which focuses on reducing the fear, anxiety, and stress during benzo withdrawal. Before we dive too deep into our featured topic, we will chat a bit and cover a few questions in our Q&A section on short-term use and symptoms in protracted withdrawal.  Feature Series SERIES: Managing the Fear of Benzo Withdrawal In my opinion, fear, and the stress and anxiety related to that fear, cause more distress and more complications during withdrawal than anything else. And this fear is not some natural psychological fear. It's chemically enhanced. On top of the original anxieties we had before our dependence on benzos, we now have a damaged nervous system that can't process fear correctly. A system that can send us into a panic state — both psychologically and physiologically — at the least sign of distress. Above all, stop worrying. Worry, fear and anxiety increase all withdrawal symptoms. Many of these symptoms are actually due to anxiety and not signs of brain or nervous system damage. People who fear withdrawal have more intense symptoms than those who just take it as it comes and think positively and confidently about recovery.— Prof. Ashton, The Ashton Manual This series is broken down into three separate parts: PART 1 (https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/managing-the-fear-of-benzo-withdrawal-part-1-bfp003) — Series Introduction— 1) Taking Responsibility for Your Own Recovery PART 2 (this video)— 2) Keeping Positive— 3) Maintaining Mental and Physical Activity PART 3 (https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/managing-the-fear-of-benzo-withdrawal-part-3-bfp005)— 4) Having Kindness for Yourself and Others— 5) Finding Acceptance of Your Condition  Episode Description Today we discuss two essential elements to maintaining a stable mindset during withdrawal: positivity and activity. 2) POSITIVITYAllowing your feelings to happen, all feelings, is critical to maintaining mental health. A positive mindset is not about suppressing your feelings or glossing over them and putting on a good face. That plan of attack can lead to disaster. What I'm talking about is a positive mindset. You still feel sad, angry, mad, and everything else at different times. But when something happens in your life, you will lean a bit more on the positive side than the negative side. Focus on what is good in your life. 3) ACTIVITYKeeping an active mind and body is critical to success during withdrawal. More and more studies show that keeping your mind active is key to keeping it healthy. This goes double for people with anxiety and triple for people going through benzo withdrawal. And being physically active is equally as important. Studies have shown that the first twenty minutes of exercise garners the most health benefits. Even if you can't do anything else, a brisk walk every day can do wonders. It's not just about exercise, it's about being active.  Resources The following resource links are provided as a courtesy to our listeners.
