Скачать или смотреть The Biology Behind It with Dr. Aimie: The Hidden Biology Behind "I'm Fine"

Ever started therapy or trauma work only to find yourself exhausted, with gut issues, or unexpected physical symptoms? You're not alone - and there's a biological reason why.

Dr. Aimie's groundbreaking research reveals something most practitioners miss: your body has a cellular capacity for processing trauma, and exceeding it can trigger a cascade of physical symptoms.

The Three Survival Mechanisms Still Running Your Body

When trauma occurs, your body activates three protective mechanisms that can become chronic patterns:
1. Dissociation - Your brain literally creates distance from overwhelming reality through natural opioid release. This is why many people unconsciously crave foods like bread and sweets after intense therapy sessions - these foods bind to the same opioid receptors, continuing the numbing pattern.

2. Immobilization - The freeze response doesn't just affect your emotions; it creates chronic disruption of blood flow and lymphatic movement throughout your body. This "hypoperfusion" leaves you feeling mentally foggy and physically stuck.

3. Energy Conservation - Your metabolism, mitochondria, and cellular processes shift into hibernation mode. You're not broken - you're in biological survival mode.

Why "Just Change Your Mindset" Doesn't Work
The pressure to "think positive" or "be stronger mentally" often backfires because it ignores a crucial truth: trauma burden and toxic burden affect your cells the same way.

Your emotional capacity is directly limited by:
Inflammatory foods (especially gluten sensitivity)
Environmental toxins
Mold exposure
Heavy metal accumulation
Poor sleep and lifestyle factors

The Missing Piece in Chronic Health Conditions

Research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) has connected childhood trauma to every single chronic health condition - yet most treatment protocols ignore this connection entirely.

Think of unaddressed trauma as driving with the emergency brake on. You can try all the best nutrition, exercise, and medical treatments, but until you release that brake, progress will be limited and symptoms may keep shifting to different body systems.

A Different Approach: Respecting Your Capacity

True mind-body healing means:
Staying within your emotional AND physical capacity
Building tolerance gradually rather than "pushing through"
Addressing toxic burden alongside trauma burden
Recognizing that craving specific foods after emotional work is your body's protective mechanism

The Bottom Line

If you've ever felt like your body was "betraying" you during healing work, it's actually trying to protect you. The goal isn't to power through - it's to befriend your body and work with its capacity while gradually expanding it.
Your "I'm fine" might actually be your nervous system's way of saying "I'm at my limit." And that's valuable information, not a personal failure.
