Ever wondered why your body seems to have a mind of its own, especially after experiencing trauma? Join me as I sit down with Lauren Starnes, a compassionate physician's assistant in psychiatric medicine, to uncover the vital interplay between our physical sensations and mental health. In a revealing conversation, we tackle the often-overlooked language of the body post-trauma, discussing how tuning into these messages not only enhances self-awareness but can also be a matter of survival.
Navigating the intricate paths of self-care, we shatter misconceptions and resonate on the topic's true meaning, especially within religious contexts. I open up about my personal battles living in survival mode and the liberating shift towards balance and intuitive eating, which Lauren affirms with her profound expertise. Together, we emphasize the necessity of hydration, the restful sanctuary of sleep, and even the surprising significance of neck exercises as tools in the healing arsenal. As we lay bare our stories, the episode becomes a testament to the transformative power of embracing a holistic approach to recovery.
As the episode comes to a close, we highlight the importance of community and faith in the healing process. I share my gratitude for the support received during my own journey and preview an earnest dialogue with Dr. Katherine Jackson on the societal stigmas around suicide, promising to be another candid chapter in this ongoing conversation. Whether it's through tears that cleanse or the daily commitment to listen to what our bodies are yearning to convey, this episode serves as an empowering reminder of our capacity for growth and the compassion we all deserve on our path to well-being.
