How to Heal Trauma 30 Seconds at a Time | Dr. Aimie Apigian

Most people try to heal trauma by going straight into the past. Dr. Aimie Apigian, a physician and the author of The Biology of Trauma, says they skip the step that comes first: making it safe to change. To your nervous system, familiar feels safe, even when familiar is unhealthy. We get into the signs of unresolved trauma in your work, your relationships and your health, what forgiveness means when you are still bracing to be hurt again, and where to start when opening up the past feels like too much. Her answer is smaller than you would expect. Thirty seconds at a time.
