In this episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Dr. Chris Motley explores the intricate relationship between trauma, fascia, and self-regulation. He discusses how trauma is stored in the body, particularly in the fascial system, and how this can lead to physical and emotional health issues. Dr. Motley emphasizes the importance of understanding the body's memory and the techniques available for releasing trauma, including herbal remedies and self-care practices for emotional healing. ------  Show notes:   Herbs: * Rehmannia * Licorice Root * Schisandra * Reishi: * Lion’s Mane * The Body Keeps the Score by Bessell Van der Kolk * CES Ultra - Vagus Nerve Stimulator * Dr. Perry - @stopchasingpain Takeaways Trauma is stored in the body and can lead to physical issues. Emotional trauma can affect physical health and vice versa. Techniques like EMDR and somatic therapies can help release trauma. Fascia encodes emotional and energetic imprints, serving as a memory storage. The connection between fascia and DNA is crucial for understanding trauma. Vagus nerve stimulation is important for emotional regulation. Herbal remedies can support emotional healing and balance.
