How To Get Emotional Toxicity Out Of Your Body. Guest: Dr. Heather Herington

<p><strong>Many times, people fail to realize the impact of their emotional health on their physical health. They are more likely to recognize the impact of physical health on emotional health. That's often because we don't give full attention and value to our "invisible wounds." </strong></p><br><p><strong>Emotional toxicity</strong>--living with abuse, <strong>childhood trauma</strong>, <strong>chronic stress and anxiety</strong>--directly affects your physical health. Yes, it may do so slowly and it creeps up on you, but it's happening all the same.</p><br><p><strong>Dr. Heather Herington</strong> says, <strong><em>"C-PTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) is adult AIDS</em></strong>." Intriguing idea! We talk about this in some depth in this episode regarding inflammation, the brain, stress, and the workings of the body.</p><br><p>Dr. Heather and I share stories of<strong> toxic relationships </strong>and how they shaped our lives. See how that matches with what you've experienced. It could be similar...and we share the stories of our healing, too.</p><br><p>This could be a VERY important episode that could start you on an insightful healing path. I hope so.</p><br><p>Big hugs,</p><p>Rhoberta</p><br><p><strong>HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>The impact of trauma emotionally and physically</strong></li><li><strong>The value of combining healing modalities</strong></li><li><strong>How emotional toxicity stays in the body until purposefully removed</strong></li><li><strong>How mental health, emotional health, and physical health intersect</strong></li><li><strong>Why we are sometimes unaware of, or reluctant to, attend to our invisible wounds</strong></li><li><strong>How your childhood informs a toxic relationship</strong></li><li><strong>Caring for invisible wounds</strong></li></ul><p><br></p><br><p><strong>GUEST: DR.
