130 - Why Your Body Can't Relax with Dr. Aimie Apigian
Have you ever felt like no matter how much talk therapy you do, you’re still stuck in the same cycles of anxiety, burnout, or chronic fatigue? According to Dr. Aimie Apigian, that’s because trauma isn't just a psychological story we tell ourselves—it’s a biological reality stored in our cells. In this deep-dive episode, we sit down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH, a double board-certified physician and the leading medical expert on the Biology of Trauma®. Dr. Aimie explains why traditional healing models often miss the mark by focusing only on the mind, while ignoring the physiological "stuckness" of the nervous system. We explore the concept of the "trauma body"—the physical manifestation of past overwhelm—and how our biology actually dictates our emotional and mental capacity. In this episode, we cover: Stress vs. Trauma: Why stress can be growth-promoting, but trauma acts as a biological injury that requires a different roadmap for repair. The 5 Stages of Trauma Response: Moving beyond "fight or flight" to understand the full spectrum: startle, stress, the wall, freeze, and shutdown. The "Functional Freeze" Trap: How many high-achievers are actually living in a state of "high-functioning freeze" and why their "drive" might actually be a survival response. Moving to "Calm Alive": Dr. Aimie’s signature framework for shifting the body out of survival mode and into a state of authentic safety and vitality. If you’ve been told your symptoms are "all in your head" or you’ve reached a plateau in your healing journey, this conversation will give you the science-backed tools to partner with your body and finally move from surviving to thriving.

Discover how a home that cultivates peace, happiness, and authentic self-expression isn't just nice to have—it's a fundamental ingredient in living well.
