In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Rutstein about the physical aspects of trauma and how to understand their influences on daily life.
He explains his model of “the owner’s manual of your nervous system” and how actively reading your body state is the first step to unravelling traumatic aftereffects.
Tami and Dr. Rutstein also discuss self-regulation during stressful situations, practices for anchoring in the body, and how our understanding of trauma has evolved over time.
Finally, they talk about consciously interrupting trauma-born behaviours, as well as the ongoing work of teaching emotional literacy and resilience.
