The Biology of Trauma with Dr. Aimie Apigian

Описание: "Trauma becomes a burden that the body carries…and it's up to you to decide, do I still want to carry this or do I want to put it down?" - Dr. Aimie Apigian

You know how some women say they sailed through menopause like it was no big deal, while others struggle intensely with symptoms that seem to come out of nowhere? I used to think it was just hormones and genetics, but what I've discovered through my conversation with Dr. Aimie Apigian completely shifted my perspective on trauma healing women over 40.

Dr. Aimie, a double board-certified physician and author of "The Biology of Trauma," explains why traditional therapy often falls short and why your body needs very specific things to heal - things that address not just your psychology, but the actual biological changes trauma creates in your cells, your immune system, and your nervous system. What's even more encouraging? She's seeing profound shifts in just 21 days when people get the right tools.

What you’ll learn:
Why your capacity for stress shrinks during perimenopause
The critical difference between stress and trauma
The real reason traditional talk therapy might have left you feeling worse
Why lifting weights isn't just about building muscle - it's about building your capacity to handle hard things emotionally
The three nervous system states you cycle through daily - and how to shift from overwhelm back to calm using somatic techniques
