‘Microtraumas contributing to the Children’s Mental Health Epidemic’ with BG Mancini

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀
Every month, Jan Winhall (author of Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model) interviews guests who contribute to our understanding about trauma and addiction. She then opens the conversation to the group for questions and discussion in this live zoom event that runs for 1 hour.
The Felt Sense Polyvagal Approach to Trauma & Addiction group is a place for you to explore with others, through a polyvagal lens, the experiences of trauma and addiction. We are focusing on understanding addiction through the lens of the nervous system, as an adaptive response to maladaptive environments.

‘Microtraumas contributing to the Children’s Mental Health Epidemic’ with BG Mancini:
Research now shows seemingly unrelated factors like food, sensory input, digestive health, lack of exercise, and diminished parental availability can influence children’s brain development both in function AND form.
This impacts children’s external behavior and ability to deeply connect, and causes them to shift from staying safely in their body to checking out just to cope with their own physiology.
Interoceptive cues of non-safety triggered by these inputs are significant barriers to coregulation and self-regulating, creating more trauma.
Children with multiple diagnosis are also more likely to find addictions.
Just knowing what contributes to the early developmental signs of inflammation and what these truly look like in the body and brain can make everyone an aide for a child and family to find the right resources, and majorly alter outcomes.
