Description

In this groundbreaking session, we'll dive deep into the hidden mechanisms in the body that define and shape a client’s trauma healing journey. We often focus on the psychological and emotional aspects of trauma, but what if the key to unlocking lasting resolution lies within the body itself? Not just the body, but one’s biology. Through this innovative presentation, you'll gain a profound understanding of how the body, more than the mind, determines what constitutes trauma, whether one will heal and repair and how long it will take.

Dr. Aimie Apigian will share the tools and knowledge needed to transform your therapeutic approach, particularly when working with clients with a chronic disease such as autoimmunity, chronic fatigue, or digestive issues. Imagine being able to know how much trauma your client's body is holding…empowering you to know the pace and tools in the proper order needed to facilitate repair. This is an experiential session that will integrate somatic work, parts work and biology as we look at the role of the body in trauma and healing.

Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH's Profile

Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH Related seminars and products


Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH, Double-board certified physician in preventive and addiction medicine with double master’s degrees in biochemistry and public health, Dr. Aimie Apigian is the leading medical expert on how trauma becomes our biology and what to do once it creates a chronic health condition.

Yet her inspiration comes from her personal experiences. Becoming a foster parent and adopting during medical school, and then experiencing her own health crisis in her early 30s, she has been on a journey to find practical tools and solutions, beyond the diagnoses, pills, and traditional therapies that weren’t addressing the root problem.

She now hosts a podcast, a YouTube channel, and online summits working closely with experts in the health and trauma space. She speaks around the world, leads groups through her programs to address stored trauma in the body, and teaches practitioners to do the same in her Biology of Trauma online training.
