Does Trauma Cause Illness? with Dr. Sara Gottfried

What do autoimmune conditions, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, rashes, joint pain, and fatigue have in common? 

They’re among the dozens of chronic health conditions associated with childhood trauma.

This discovery is revolutionizing medicine, and in this episode, my dear friend Dr. Sara Gottfried joins me to unpack it all. In our discussion, Dr. Gottfried shares both clinical insights and her personal experiences of the ways unresolved trauma can surface in our physical health.

We also cover how it happens, the signs you’re living with the effects of trauma, and most importantly, what you can do now to get free of the past—from traditional therapies to the emerging research on psychedelics. 

It’s a fascinating conversation! If you’ve tried everything to feel better and nothing’s helped, this information could bring you hope.
