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.

  • 25 year journey…

    Long story short, through my 8 years since retirement I’ve started studying grief which has led to topics around it. For about a year I’ve been looking at biology and trauma and Dr. Amy has had both the Goldilocks vocabulary for me as a layman and also it’s obvious her heart is “all in”.

    I think there are certain jobs in which eventually it shows whether or not your heart is in it and this is one of them. Thank you.

  • Dr. Aimie Apigian is doing something new and important

    I was recently a guest on Dr. Aimie’s podcast, invited to discuss early separation, adoption and addiction. I’ve spent some good time listening to many of her podcasts at this point, and she really is doing something new, deep diving into the way that the body works and functions physiologically and explaining in in a way we all can understand. She has such a deep understanding of early childhood trauma and the lifelong impact. I feel really grateful she is doing this work and making this podcas... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can I Recover From Medical Trauma? Dr. Jim Jackson (Part 2)
Q: How should clinicians frame 'recovery' to patients who still experience symptoms like PTSD or long COVID?
Recovery should be about living a rich, meaningful life and engaging with values, even if symptoms persist, rather than promising symptom-free status; CAM/ACT helps patients align actions with values while managing symptoms.
Can I Recover From Medical Trauma? Dr. Jim Jackson (Part 2)
Q: You mentioned EMDR and somatic therapies; in your experience, which modalities stand out as particularly effective for medical trauma?
EMDR works well for many, but the most impactful approach often blends somatic therapies with cognitive strategies, emphasizing the body's role in medical trauma and helping patients reframe their relationship to their symptoms rather than solely trying to eliminate them.
What Type of Anxiety Do I Have? Dr. Nicole Cain (Part 2)
Q: How do you describe nervous system anxiety as distinct from other anxiety categories?
Nervous system anxiety is a global, chronic activation that can show up as numbness, tingling, pain, and conversion-like symptoms; recognizing it as the nervous system talking helps shift focus to stabilizing the system through a multi-pronged approach.
Grieving Is a Skill: HRV, Intention, and the Biology of Resilience with Dr. David Rabin (Part 2)
Q: What is grief, and why is it considered a skill?
Grief is a skill because grieving involves structured processes (emotional, cognitive, and behavioral tools) that help transmute sadness into a constructive state, enabling reorganization around safety.
EP 181: What Your Food Cravings Reveal About What You Survived | Dr. Tian Dayton
Q: Why do cravings sometimes feel like a solution to deep emotional pain rather than a simple hunger cue?
Because the nervous system uses food to regulate internal states, providing quick yet temporary relief from anxiety, loneliness, or overwhelm that originated in early attachment experiences, which makes food a substitute for connection or safety.
