Can you heal trauma by talking about it? According to Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Frank Anderson, not always.
In this conversation, Dr. Mindy and Dr. Anderson explore why trauma becomes stored in the body, why menopause often brings unresolved trauma to the surface, and how healing happens through nervous system regulation, body-based therapies, and small daily corrective experiences.
You'll also learn about emotional eating, fasting, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, psychedelics, and why understanding your body's responses is one of the most empowering steps toward healing.
