Releasing Trauma for Optimal Health With Dr. Aimie Apigian
Update: 2025-09-16
Description
We talk a lot about how trauma affects our mental health, but have you thought about what it does to your body? In this episode, host Paula Felps sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of The Biology of Trauma, to explore how trauma is stored not just in our minds but in our bodies — and how that impacts our physical health, relationships, and overall well-being. Drawing from her experience as a physician and foster parent, Dr. Aimie shares how traditional talk therapy often misses the mark, and why understanding trauma as a biological process opens the door to more effective healing.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How trauma differs from stress — and why trauma, not stress, is what makes us sick.
- Why stored trauma shows up in physical symptoms, emotional patterns, and relationship dynamics.
- How somatic self-practices can help shift your nervous system and begin healing —even when energy is low.
