Your heart races for no apparent reason? You feel like danger is lurking everywhere? There's a scientific explanation: trauma physically modifies your brain. Your hippocampus shrinks, making you confuse past and present. Your amygdala becomes hyperactive, keeping you on maximum alert even when you're safe.
In this episode of Subconsia, I reveal the biological reality of trauma. It's not weakness, it's a real neurological injury visible on brain scans. But here's the hope: neuroplasticity works both ways. Your brain can heal.
I'll walk you through the solutions that actually work: EMDR therapy that reduces PTSD symptoms in 70% of patients through guided eye movements, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that rewires negative thought patterns, and body-based approaches like therapeutic yoga that Harvard studies show can regulate your amygdala's excessive responses.
Plus, your three-step healing protocol: recognize the biological reality (removing guilt), choose your approach (CBT, EMDR, or body-based methods), and create connections (isolation reinforces trauma).
An episode for anyone who's ever felt trapped by their past… and ready to discover that healing is not just possible, it's scientifically proven.
If these explorations resonate with you and you'd like to support Subconsia, you can buy me a coffee on Buy Me a Coffee. More coffee time = more research time and discovering new neural connections.
