Do you find yourself struggling to connect your brain and body to achieve optimal health? Disassociation is a primal survival response that humans experience secondary to trauma to prevent the sensation of pain. Disassociation is more common that you might think and sadly it’s directly connected to bonding with your parents or caregivers. Christine Forner (BA, BSW, MSW, Registered Social Worker) is a specialist in the field of Trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Dissociation. She’s also the author and creator of a method of meditation called Creative Meditation for Dissociative Disorders and Medial Prefrontal Cortex Processing (MPFC processing). Christine has taught in Canada and internationally on the subject of Trauma and Disassociation. In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast Christine and Dr. Jannine Krause discuss disassociation, it’s causes and what to do right now to begin your journey to reconnecting your mind and body.
