In this episode of Noble Mind, Dr. Fisher joins Kate and Alex to discuss her new book, describing the physiology of trauma and what makes it a ‘living legacy.’ She explains why mindfulness-based treatments are helpful to trauma survivors, offering insight on what it means to be triggered and how we remember traumatic events with our feelings and bodies—not just our minds. Listen in for Dr. Fisher’s advice on using somatic resources to navigate triggers and learn how paying attention to your body is central to the healing process.
