Aimie Apigian – Biology of Trauma: Applications of Functional Medicine and Healing

Description Of Biology of Trauma

What is functional medicine and how can we use it to help the therapy process?

Stress and trauma cause changes in one’s biology. Those changes slow down the healing process or make it stuck. In this workshop you’ll learn simple tools from functional medicine that can make the nervous system more available for therapy and accelerates the trauma healing journey. Join us and learn how to harness the power of biology and stop making the healing journey harder than it needs to be.

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

Functional Medicine provides a tool through which to support the body and increase the nervous system’s capacity for change and healing. An overview of the model and principles of functional medicine will be reviewed, and then we will jump into the most practical aspects of functional medicine that will either help or hinder the healing journey.

We will look at nutrients, neurotransmitters and epigenetics and how each can even predispose one to trauma. The immune system absorbs all of the stress of a system, and we can recognize different patterns of how the immune system has been caught in a biology of trauma. Cortisol, hormones and the digestive system are all crucial to the conversation and then we show how trauma and getting stuck in trauma patterns is an energy problem and how to address that through the model and principles of functional medicine.

You will learn practical tools to implement in your life or with your clients that will make a difference now for supporting the biology and moving forward in the trauma healing journey.
