Summary

This week’s guest, Christine Gibson caught my attention on TikTok. In several of her videos, she talks about two types of therapy, top-down and bottom-up therapy. In this episode, she joins me to talk about therapeutic modalities, like EFT, for healing trauma. We also explore the powerful ways our body responds in connection with our nervous system to trauma. Christine is a family doctor and trauma therapist in Calgary, Canada. She has studied systems thinking, the use of storytelling towards healing, and created a residency training program in health equity. We talk about: Christine shares how the EFT modality can help with healing trauma. (5:59) The 2 types of trauma therapy: top-down (talk-based work) and bottom-up (body-based work). (9:00) Christine explains the Polyvagal Theory and how the different parts of the nervous system respond to stress. (18:31) We explore just how deeply the body and the brain are connected. (31:54) If someone is certain they have experienced trauma, Christine offers some thoughts on how to start healing. (39:21) Feeling heard and being seen is one of the goals of therapy. Validation of your feelings is what helps you heal. (51:48) http://andreaowen.com/441 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
