Episode 51: Is Neuroplasticity Good or Bad in Trauma?

“Neuroplasticity is a time game. The longer that a person has been stuck, the longer they've been having certain symptoms, then the more their nervous system has adapted to that being their new normal. This can work against us because neuroplasticity is always happening. It just depends on which direction it has been.”

Show Notes

In this episode, I break down neuroplasticity and discuss the role it plays in the trauma-healing journey. I discuss how our nervous system, often stuck in patterns due to prolonged symptoms, can be retrained and redirected toward a healthier, more positive state. I also share insights from professionals who have currently in the advanced level of training in my Biology of Trauma Certificate Training Program and have used this information on their clients.

Ultimately, this podcast episode answers the question – how to use neuroplasticity to help you on the trauma healing journey?

In this episode, you are going to learn:

Why knowing how long or chronic a pattern has been is essential
How to understand time and Neuroplasticity
Why both Gentleness and firmness are needed in addressing stored trauma
How to shift from negative to positive neuroplasticity

Great podcast, thank you, Dr Aimie! Yes, chronicity is an important consideration. While there are a variety of approaches that help strengthen constitution, in a more direct and gentle way than others, I feel your 21 D J and APOMe are necessary and excellent tools that if practiced consistently can be very rewarding; the increase of energy that occurs can be used to do what is needed most. Do you have a link that takes you to the list of your podcasts? I meant to respond to #50 … and I am sure there are other podcasts I would like to hear.
