Trauma, menopause, and a mind-body tool that may help
Research confirms that having trauma in your background can magnify menopausal symptoms.
Why? Because many women who had trauma during their childhood – not just physical trauma, but emotional as well – never got treated, "so they're walking around with about a thousand pounds of emotional garbage ... hurt, pain, anger, depression, anxiety," says renowned physician Pam Peeke, M.D. The unhealed wounds remain, and their legacy often is an overactive nervous system, chronic anxiety, and depression, which can go into overdrive during the menopause transition.
There are all kinds of ways to address these symptoms, but the ones that intrigue me most are the ones that connect mind and body. That's why I was so interested to learn more about TIMBo (Trauma Informed Mind Body) from Becky Burns of The Holding Space RI.
A licensed facilitator of TIMBo (Trauma Informed Mind Body) and an advanced IET (Integrated Energy Therapy) therapist, Becky helps heal trauma by combining these two modalities.
In this podcast, Becky describes the TIMBo process and the experience a woman might have as she learns its skills and makes her way toward feeling joy.
