As we dive deeper into applied neurology and the immune system, we’re joined by the founder of Stop Chasing Pain, Dr. Bruce Perry. He helps us explore the link between emotion, pain and its impact on the immune system.

In this episode, Dr. Perry shares his personal experience with polyautoimmunity as he discusses his experience treating his own shame surrounding his body image. With his expertise, we explore the subconscious and conscious role of emotions, as well as the body’s natural response to threats, including how we can fight inflammation even when it’s an unintentional effect of our emotional responses.

Dr. Perry, along with hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth, provide insights on how you can work with the nervous system to create long-lasting change that impacts the health of your immune system. You’ll learn how trauma can dysregulate the nervous system, the importance of self-awareness, and what you can do to nurture social connection and introspection.

Tune in as we explore the consequences of trauma on our body, as well as inflammation from a neurosomatic perspective!
