    Okay, here's the info-dump I promised during episode 2. It just got kinda long, so I figured I'd make a bonus episode about it. Covers the topics of:

    1. Different rates of memory encoding in key brain structures
    2. (Theoretical) different motor pathways for emotionally driven vs. volitional movement
    3. Nerve trivia! What is the largest single nerve in your body and why we have poor pain localization in the torso area (particularly in our gut/viscera)

      4. Content starts at 4:23.

      Silly bonus-content theme song is at: 04:04 for those who wish for a dose of silly.

      (For additional reading on emotional motor pathways, see the Gothard (2014) paper referenced below.)

      • Becoming trauma-aware: The Amygdala-Limbic System (aka All the Feels)

        On our journey to becoming trauma-aware, we need to first learn something about the (healthy) emotional system. Sure, this is a physiology-heavy episode, but it comes with my brand of weird references and analogies that (hopefully) help make it not-such-a-snoozefest. This episode is broken down into three main sections:

        1. The peripheral autonomic nervous system
        2. The mid-brain structures involved in our limbic system
        3. The higher cortical areas in our limbic system 

          4. Visual Resources:

          • Autonomic nervous system
            • Vagus nerve visual
            • Mid-brain structures:
              • The hippocampus
              • The amygdala
              • The hypothalamus
              • Higher cortical structures:
                • Anterior cingulate cortex
                • Insula

                    Episode Summary

                    In this informational episode, Kim takes us through three key topics to start our trauma-informed journey:

                    1. The working definition of trauma (per behavioral science/psychological research).
                    2. What trauma-informed care is per the TIP 57 definition of it (see reference below).
                    3. The process of becoming trauma-informed and the common steps along the way.

                      4.

                          Trauma. Super fun topic. Amirite? However, Trauma-informed Care is a framework, a paradigm, of how to build resiliency and self-empowerment our clients, colleagues, friends, family—and even ourselves. It actually includes A LOT things that are being actively discussed all the time: The neurodivergency movement; presuming competence; cultural competency; toxic work environments; professional burnout; etc…  So, this is super important stuff! And I think having a “big-picture” paradigm helps with understanding and navigating all these areas. So, I think every SLP needs to know about TIC and implement it in their practice—regardless of what specialty area they are in. And because it is such a large framework that encompasses so many areas of our pratice, I decided a podcast would be a great way to keep the discussion going.
