The Advisor Podcast “Why Am I Reacting Like This?” Understanding Trauma's Impact on the Brain and Nervous System & Trauma Recovery
“Trauma isn’t really about the event itself—it’s about what happens in your nervous system afterward.
That automatic reaction you have? It’s your subconscious trying to protect you based on old patterns.
The good news: You can start rewiring those patterns today with simple regulation tools like grounding, breath, and creating safety cues.”
