Description
Summary
In this episode, Dr. Ameet provides an overview of several approaches he uses to help people overcome trauma from narcissistic abuse. He uses an approach that engages all your senses rather than only engaging the analytical part of your brain. Rather, his approach is more primal.
Three things you will learn this episode:
The root cause of the stress and trauma you deal with today.
Why you might be holding on to negative emotions.
An overview of how generational trauma develops.

3 Key Takeaways
If your parents mistreat you as a child, you are unable to distinguish that it is not you that is wrong but them. This can destabilize your core or distort your sense of who you are. You may then end up making flawed decisions because you are willing to settle for what is good enough for you rather than what is best for you.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy engages your senses and your limbic brain to distance you from past traumas that are still negatively impacting your life.
As human beings, we are loyal to the pains of our close family members. This loyalty gives us the sense of belonging and structure that we need. This causes trauma to pass from one generation to the other - as we tend to take on the burden of those we are loyal to. This may be stopping you from becoming your authentic self.
