Why Shock & Trauma are the Ground Zero of Many Mental Health Issues with Dr. Naomi Kehati-Bronner
Description
Our mental health is a measure of how strong the relationships in our lives are. Since our sense of wellbeing is linked to our ability to create and sustain healthy connections with other people, having our emotional needs met is as important to our mental wellbeing as oxygen is to our breathing.
Not having our needs for safety, trust, adequately met because of parental neglect, familial abuse, or other traumas can not only create a distortion in how we experience ourselves and others but also compromise our nervous system's ability to regulate our feelings.
Clinical Psychologist Dr. Naomi Kehati-Bronner, specializes in understanding the dynamics that are at the roots of relationships between people and events that have shaped their perceptions of themselves and their world.
Dr. Bronner joins us to explain why our primary relationships, in terms of the parenting we received, the family dynamics we grew up with, and the kind of community we were raised in will inevitably shape our lives, and how ancestral and developmental trauma are often the ground zero of most mental health issues.
