In Episode 5 of "When The Call Hits Home," Jennifer Woosley Saylor, Dr. Ashlee Gethner, and special guest Dr. Hannah Coyt delve into the intricate workings of the brain and its profound impact on mental health, particularly for first responders and their families. They explore how trauma and high-stress environments can dysregulate the autonomic nervous system, leading to perpetual states of perceived threat and challenges in connecting with others.
Dr. Coyt, with her unique perspective rooted in personal experience and professional expertise, sheds light on the brain's development, highlighting the role of the amygdala and hippocampus and how their dysregulation can affect decision-making, memory, and emotional regulation. The hosts discuss the unrealistic expectations often placed on children and the importance of recognizing developmental stages when parenting, especially in high-stress households.
The episode provides practical strategies for families to navigate these challenges, emphasizing the importance of downtime, self-care, and engaging in regulating activities like spending time in nature. Dr. Coyt recommends trauma-informed treatments such as EMDR and polyvagal theory, stressing the need for systemic counseling and coregulation within the family unit.
