Healing the Traumatized Brain

Living Anew With a Happy, Healthy Brain

Trauma carves lasting imprints on the brain, altering its structure and function. The amygdala, responsible for processing emotions, may become hyperactive, leading to heightened fear and anxiety. The hippocampus, crucial for memory formation, can experience shrinkage, affecting memory recall and emotional regulation. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for decision-making and impulse control, may show reduced activity, contributing to difficulties in managing stress and making rational choices.

These neurobiological changes can manifest in a range of symptoms, including flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and difficulty trusting others. Listen as Daring Ventures Founder and renowned LCP, Dr. Jake Porter dive into the process of healing the traumatized brain with Houston Neurosolutions Founder and LCP, Laura Childers.
