Survival Mechanisms: How Early Attachment Trauma Shapes Your Breathing & Behavior Patterns with Dr. Aimie Apigian

In this episode, I want to teach on an important topic that is either commonly misunderstood or just missed, muscle bracing patterns that have their origins in our attachment style. I am teaching on how to recognize attachment bracing adaptations to answer the one question How does our attachment create bracing patterns in our body to protect us from pain? This is important because these same bracing patterns will affect both our breath and our freeze response - our shut down in the face of certain emotions. In this episode, you'll learn: How to recognise bracing patterns Which emotions bracing helps protect us from How bracing patterns developed during our attachment years to protect our physiology How bracing patterns affect the breath The relationship between bracing patterns and the freeze response For more information and show notes, please visit our website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/
