This episode details what you can expect to hear in future episodes of this podcast.

Essentially, this podcast will feature leading experts, and authors from different healing domains, as well as friends, clients and people who suffer from the specific condition we’re discussing. We will talk about the interconnection between biology, psychology and socioenvironmental factors that can and do impact the brain and body. We’re going to delve deep into a topic.

Using post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as an example – this is a huge subject, so will involve multiple episodes covering all aspects related to it. The aim is to give you a solid overview where you’ll be able to understand the causes, its impact on the brain, the body etc. giving you information on how it’s typically diagnosed, the relevant questions to ask your medical doctor, psychiatrist etc. the different treatments available, offering different perspectives on the subject matter ranging from ancient Eastern wisdom to Western neurophysiology and traumatology, which will hopefully give you a supra model for healing and or managing the condition.

In this episode, I’m going to give you an overview touching upon physiology, some sex-based cognitive differences between the male and female brains, and how our genes and our environment play a fundamental role in developing our neurobiology, brain function, emotions, personality, perception, beliefs and behaviour. I talk about how beliefs, perception and what we think, have the power to change our physiology, affecting our physical health for better or worse. I detail the brain’s various protective outputs and how these affect our physical and emotional health.

This podcast episode brings together insights on how Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) can address birth trauma, facilitate emotional and physical healing, and potentially improve childbirth experiences. Host Allegra, is a trauma-informed body worker, and her guest Richmond Heath, Head of TRE Australia, discuss the broad impacts of birth trauma on babies, parents, and healthcare professionals, highlighting both physiological and behavioral consequences. The conversation explores Richmond’s journey with TRE, its foundational role in healing trauma through neurogenic exercises, and the importance of a body-focused approach to therapy over traditional psychological methods. The episode emphasizes TRE’s capability to tap into the body's intrinsic healing mechanisms via spontaneous tremors, underscoring its utility not just for trauma survivors but also in preparing for childbirth. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, the podcast aims to shed light on the significance of reconnecting with one’s body through neurogenic movement to heal trauma, balance the nervous system, and potentially transform childbirth experiences by embracing the body’s natural wisdom and tremor response.
