Episode 31: Am I Tired, Or Is This Trauma? The Roots Of Fatigue

Show Notes:
If you have ever found yourself asking why you feel so tired all the time, you might not be asking the right question. In order to get to the right question, I am sharing an interview I did with Dr. Evan Hirsch, a good friend and colleague physician of mine who has had a remarkable journey recovering from chronic fatigue. In this episode, we will look into the right question: Am I tired, or is it trauma? The Roots of Fatigue.
In This Episodes There Are Two Concepts That Are Discussed:
- The connection between trauma and fatigue and additional teaching I have added to this episode on how trauma is an energy problem, and
- The categories and root causes of fatigue.
There are two reasons I wanted to share this interview with you. First, fatigue is part of the trauma response. A person who struggles with chronic fatigue is in a chronic functional freeze response. Second, Dr. Evan has organized categories of the causes of fatigue that are so helpful for someone trying to figure out for themselves or their patients or clients.This is why you can’t just go to therapy for trauma, but have to address the Biology of Trauma because it’s what keeps our bodies stuck.
