#208 How Unhealed Trauma Leads to Symptoms and How to Heal with Benjamin Fry

8th Aug 2023

There is growing recognition that many mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, poor cognition and memory are the results of the high prevalence of trauma, post-traumatic stress and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

What I wanted to know from my guest today Benjamin Fry, a leading psychotherapist in the UK, was what are the signs someone has unhealed trauma in their life? And how can someone heal from that trauma without the use of supplements, medications or psychedelics?

Throughout my medical career I’ve suspected the role of trauma in the root cause of patients conditions beyond the diagnoses of a typical mental health illness like anxiety and depression, but actually in AI conditions such as IBD and even type 1 diabetes and so to have the opportunity to explore some of these ideas with Ben was a pleasure.

Today we discuss internal threats, perception, gratitude and how we can reframe our natural negative dispositions and why we reflect and respond to trauma differently.
