Overview
Today, we know more about mental health than ever before, but traditional medicine still mistakes subtle signs of trauma for stress, anxiety, or chronic disease—sometimes even retraumatizing patients with outdated and misguided methods. Treatment plans that focus on the mind are only addressing the downstream effects. Likewise, common medical approaches to manage symptoms fail to explore root causes and promote genuine recovery.
If we want to truly heal, we need to understand trauma as something happening inside of the body—not as a singular external event. Gaining clarity on how our bodies hold onto experiences, impacting both our physical health and our ability to maintain healthy behaviors and relationships, is crucial. That’s where Dr. Aimie Apigian’s integrative, revolutionary approach comes in.
With a decade of clinical research, approachable storytelling, and real-life examples, The Biology of Trauma will show you:
- How the body absorbs scarring experiences and overwhelm
- Ways to identify commonly overlooked trauma symptoms like lethargy, fogginess, and unexplained worry
- Recognize how emotional pain stored in the body affects overall health on a cellular level, even for people with functionally successful lives
- Prevent trauma-induced changes in your biology that suppress the cycle of recovery
- Work with your nervous system to safely heal—without risk of retraumatization
Perfect for both individuals seeking personal growth and health professionals improving their practice, The Biology of Trauma will help you gain deep insights into your own mind, body, and healing journey.
