Ep 5 Why trauma recovery work matters: exploring our inner and outer worlds

In this conversation, Andria Rose and Garry Gilfoy delve into the significance of trauma recovery work, exploring the complexities of the self and the impact of developmental trauma on individuals. They discuss the importance of understanding the facets of the psyche—thinking, feeling, and behavior—and how these elements interact in the context of trauma. The conversation also highlights the role of meditation in strengthening the true self and the necessity of co-regulation in achieving self-regulation. Through insights into neuroscience and the internal family systems approach, they emphasize the importance of integrating fragmented parts of the self for holistic healing.
