Скачать или смотреть Healing with Mirror Neurons | Trauma-Informed Tools for Veterans

In this episode of Since Our Last Session, we explore how mirror neurons — the brain cells that respond when we see or imagine an experience — can be used for healing after trauma.

For many veterans, the nervous system has been trained to stay on high alert. That can lead to anxiety, hypervigilance, or self-criticism, even when you’re safe. But the same pathways that once protected you can also help you rebuild trust, calm, and self-compassion.

You’ll learn:

What mirror neurons are and why they matter for trauma recovery

How to use them to shift from self-attack to self-support

A simple practice to begin retraining your nervous system

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting your past. It means teaching your body and mind that you can be safe in the present — and reminding yourself that you still matter.

If you’re a veteran living with PTSD or trauma, this space is for you. You’re not alone in this.
