 People are done dancing around the topic of trauma. They're ready to face this square-on. None of the current systems are getting to the root of the issue in the current model. Their biology has been affected on a cellular level, and that is now what's preventing the important work that they're trying to do. The Biology of Trauma® podcast is the missing piece to that puzzle. It's a practical living manual for the human body in a modern, traumatizing world. Join your host medical physician and attachment, trauma and addiction expert, Dr. Aimie as she challenges the old paradigm of trauma and illuminates a new model for the healing journey.2022 Développement personnel Hygiène et mode de vie sain Psychologie Psychologie et santé mentale Réussite

  • The Biology Behind It: Why Stress Doesn’t Cause Chronic Pain And What Really Does

    The Biology Behind It: Why Stress Doesn’t Cause Chronic Pain And What Really Does
    Jul 18 2025

    Your mind says you’re safe, but your body still feels tense, overwhelmed, and stuck in danger mode. Why does this happen?

    In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind why mental and emotional healing doesn’t always translate into physical healing. You’ll learn how trauma gets “stuck” in your nervous system, why your body can keep sending danger signals even when your mind feels better, and practical ways to help your body feel safe enough to recover.

    Your nervous system works like a dashboard, constantly checking if you can handle what’s happening or need to shut down. When it stays stuck in survival mode, even after therapy, it can cause chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms. The good news is, you can help your body feel safe again and start to heal.

    In this episode, you'll find out more about:

    • The difference between stress vs. trauma (and why it’s not about the event itself!)
    • Why your body creates a personal safety filter based on past experiences
    • How inflammation, toxins, and hidden stressors send danger signals to your nervous system
    • Why your body’s natural healing shuts down when you’re in survival mode
    • Simple ways to track and shift your nervous system state every day

    Whether you’re doing your own healing or supporting clients who still feel stuck physically despite mental progress, this episode reveals the missing piece of trauma recovery. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of the body’s signals and walk away with practical tools to help the body catch up with the mind.

    Why Stress Doesn’t Cause Chronic Pain and What Really Does
    Jul 15 2025
    Chronic pain affects millions of people who've been told their symptoms are just from stress. They've tried relaxation techniques, stress management, and lifestyle changes, but nothing really seems to work. They’re left feeling stuck, exhausted, and frustrated that their body just won’t heal. But why does the body stay in pain even when the injury has healed? In this episode, Dr. Aimie look at what most people believe about chronic pain. Instead of blaming stress, she shows how chronic pain actually comes from trauma stored in the body, and explores what's really going on and why this matters so much for healing. Drawing from her own experience with chronic shoulder pain after a collarbone fracture, Dr. Aimie explains how her body was storing trauma, not just stress. Even after surgery and treatments, the pain wouldn't go away until she discovered what was really happening in her body. You'll discover the difference between stress and trauma responses, why your body might be stuck in a chronic trauma response, and the hidden biochemical imbalances that make some people more likely to develop chronic pain. You'll learn: [1:45] Why stress does NOT cause chronic pain (and what actually does!)[5:20] The critical line of overwhelm that turns stress into trauma[11:34] What happens in the nervous system when you feel trapped and powerless[16:33] Why unresolved trauma keeps your body stuck in a danger response[21:15] The role of biochemical imbalances and why they increase pain sensitivity[26:06] How oxidative stress and mitochondria contribute to functional freeze[30:12] The hidden link between copper excess, anxiety, and chronic pain[34:52] Practical steps to repair your biology and help your body feel safe again Whether you're someone struggling with chronic pain or a practitioner seeking better tools to help clients, this episode reveals why understanding trauma biology, not just stress management, is the key to breaking free from chronic pain and reclaiming your life.

    Have you or your clients ever felt exhausted, anxious, or even physically ill after a therapy session? Or wondered why emotional breakthroughs sometimes leave you feeling worse before you feel better?

    In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie answers EDMR therapist Rebecca's question about why people sometimes get physical symptoms after making progress in therapy, and shares simple strategies to help prevent this from happening.

    She goes into the biology behind how your nervous system is constantly deciding whether you're safe or in danger, and why digging into painful memories or feelings can make your body think it's under attack, even when you're actually healing.

    You'll learn more about:

    • Why your body thinks feeling emotions is dangerous
    • How your "energy bank account" affects what you can handle in therapy
    • Why you might feel sick AFTER therapy sessions
    • How things like poor sleep and processed food make therapy harder on your body
    • Why your nervous system is always checking if you're safe or in danger
