Trauma tends to leave deep scars on the psyche and spirit, yet there exists a path to healing, especially when accompanied by meditation. So, in this week’s episode of Self-Improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella is joined by professor Dessa Bergen-Cico, Ph.D.
As a professor in the Department of Public Health, as well as faculty in the Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program at Syracuse University, Dessa Bergen-Cico, Ph.D. possesses extensive knowledge on trauma. But beyond the lecture halls, she is a Certified Addiction Specialist (CAS), Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) and a Certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher.
In the episode, Dessa Bergen-Cico, Ph.D. first outlines trauma recovery, listing hypervigilance, ruminants, and explosive rage, as common experiences that meditation can help to alleviate. To add, she asserts that those who might not necessarily have information on the trauma at the front of their minds might find meditation more effective as compared to talk therapy.
Together, Marie and Dessa Bergen-Cico, Ph.D. walk through the journey of recovery with mindfulness-based meditation, discussing the three key practices used: sitting, gentle stretching, and body scanning.
So, for an eye-opening conversation about the role of meditation in trauma recovery, tune in to this enlightening episode!
