Welcome to Season 4 of Being Known Podcast where we are looking at trauma through the lens of hope and not fear.
This week we connect trauma and the brain. To the great surprise of many, our bodies are how our minds most often and most powerfully let us in on reality. As we like to say in the business, first we sense, and only then do we make sense of what we sense.
But what if our “sensing” mechanism, the body, has been the very thing that has encountered so much physical, sexual, or emotional bludgeoning? Those who have experienced trauma often perceive that their bodies have been violated, and in some twisted ways have also betrayed them. Then their bodies go on to keep the bad work of continual betrayal.
In this way, trauma becomes something that our bodies themselves remember in ways that we are often unaware of. What are we to do?
Today, we pull back the curtain on how the body can be wounded, but also how we can begin to take the first steps toward inviting that same body to become the very source of our healing, long before we are able to imagine in our thinking minds.
