Listen Later

Re Releasing this informative conversation with psychologist & Somatic Experiencing faculty member Dr. Maureen Gallagher.

In this episode of the Healing Trauma Podcast, host Monique Koven engages with trauma expert Maureen Gallagher to explore the complexities of trauma, its impact on the body and mind, and effective healing modalities. They discuss the significance of understanding developmental and complex trauma, the role of attachment, and the importance of a gentle, titrated approach to healing. The conversation emphasizes the need for awareness of one's nervous system responses and the integration of somatic experiencing with interrelational focusing to foster resilience and healing.

Takeaways:

Understanding trauma's impact on the body is crucial for recovery.

  • Developmental trauma can lead to complex PTSD if not addressed.
  • Attachment plays a significant role in how trauma affects individuals.
  • Shutdown and hyperactivation are common responses to trauma.
  • Titration is a key concept in gradually expanding resilience.
  • Trauma responses can persist long after the traumatic event has passed.
  • Slow and steady healing is more effective than rushing into trauma narratives.
  • The cortex often misguides individuals in their healing journey.
