Today I am resharing an amazing episode with trauma expert Dr. Janina Fisher where we discuss the concept of the living legacy of trauma. She explains how trauma affects individuals not just through past events but through ongoing emotional legacies that influence their current lives. The discussion covers the importance of trauma-informed stabilization treatment (TIST) and how it helps clients understand and manage their internal struggles by recognizing different parts of themselves.

Thawing the Freeze: Moving Beyond Trauma With Dr. Arielle Schwartz

In this conversation, Monique Koven and Dr. Aimie Apigian discuss the topic of overwhelm and how it relates to trauma and our nervous system. They explore the concept of overwhelm as a trauma response and the ways in which our body tries to protect us from it. They also discuss the role of parts work in addressing overwhelm and how to work with the protector parts that prevent us from accessing the younger, overwhelmed parts. Aimie emphasizes the importance of collaboration and building trust with these parts. They also touch on the integration of biology, somatic work, and parts work in the healing journey takeaways <ul><li>Overwhelm is a trauma response that is different for trauma survivors compared to those who do not have a history of trauma.</li><li>Our body remembers past experiences of overwhelm and tries to protect us from experiencing it again.</li><li>Parts work is a tool for addressing overwhelm and involves working with the protector parts that prevent us from accessing the younger, overwhelmed parts.</li><li>Collaboration and building trust with these parts is essential in the healing process.</li><li>The integration of biology, somatic work, and parts work is important in addressing overwhelm and building a foundation of regulation.</li></ul>Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH, is a Board-Certified Preventive Medicine physician with a Masters in Biochemistry and a Masters in Public Health.  She is an author, speaker and founder of <a href="https://www.traumahealingaccelerated.com/" rel="nofollow">Trauma Healing Accelerated, LLC</a> and <a href="https://familychallengecamps.com/" rel="nofollow">Family Challenge Camps</a>, and host of Bio-Optimize Summit.
