How to Work with the Limbic System to Reverse the Physiological Imprint of Trauma

Limbic SystemOnce someone has experienced trauma, they’re often on guard, almost perpetually afraid that it will happen again. And here’s the thing . . .

. . . it’s not only the brain that learns this lesson. The body and nervous system do, too.

So to help patients change the way their body reacts after trauma, we need interventions designed to override the lessons the body and nervous system learned during trauma.

That’s why we created a course with four of the world’s top experts – they’ll share their most practical, effective strategies for helping patients resolve trauma that’s held in the brain and body.
