Why does your body act like you are still in danger? with Guest Lisa Robinson
Download MP3Have you ever been told to "just move on" from a painful past experience, only to find that your body and emotions refuse to cooperate? In this insightful episode of The Recovered Life Show, host Damon Frank is joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Robinson, who specializes in trauma, anxiety, and EMDR therapy.
Together, they break down why healing from trauma isn't as simple as making an intellectual decision to move forward. Dr. Robinson explains how unprocessed traumatic memories get stuck in the nervous system, what actually happens in the brain during a trauma trigger, and the deep connection between early childhood neglect, trauma responses, and addictive behaviors. The conversation also covers the fundamental differences between traditional talk therapy and bottom-up approaches like EMDR, practical strategies for regaining control of your nervous system, and why full recovery and post-traumatic growth are truly possible.
