Stress in Early Life Leads to Adult Trauma and Nervous System Dysregulation

Creative Mind Audio

About

“From a young age, many of us learned to brace for life instead of relax into it.

“This constant vigilance trains the nervous system to stay in survival mode: blocking rest, repair, and true healing.”

Dr Cathleen King teaches neuroscience principles related to trauma and health recovery.

This audio is from one of her videos.

She notes in the description, “In this video, we’ll explore how early life experiences shape chronic stress patterns, why the nervous system learns to protect instead of restore, and how you can begin retraining your body to feel safe enough to heal... from autoimmune conditions, trauma, or persistent health issues.”
