How can we use the body’s natural biological rhythms to recover from trauma?

 

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Leslie Korn, a clinical fellow in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard University. She has been in private practice for 40 years, integrating psychotherapy and integrative medicine. Together we will discuss awareness and effective utilization of the body’s natural rhythms, such as circadian rhythm, digestive rhythm, and sleep rhythm. This episode helps us understand that trauma disrupts our biological rhythms, and aligning with them is part of the trauma healing journey.

 

You’ll also hear more about:

• What happens to the body’s biological rhythms after trauma
• How natural rhythms can be used for trauma recovery
• The role of allostatic overload in trauma
• A big missing piece in trauma recovery we need to bring back in
• Which rhythm we can utilize that is more effective than antidepressants
• The important rhythm of relationships and community
• And more!
