The Steps to Proactively Healing Trauma Triggers with Self Havening

In this psychoeducation video, Dr. Kate Truitt explains that a trauma trigger is actually an opportunity for proactive healing because our brain is letting us know it’s concerned about something in the environment. CPR for the Amygdala is a great opportunity to regulate ourselves during a trauma response and proactively heal our brain.
CPR for the Amygdala, which is a combination of havening touch and cognitive distraction can help us in a myriad of ways. It can down regulate the amygdala with a distraction, empower an electrochemical cascade in our mind body system, and help our brain down regulate to a delta or theta wave state. It can also release serotonin, gaba, and oxytocin while decreasing norepinephrine and cortisol.
Dr. Kate emphasizes that consistent use of CPR for the Amygdala is also a great way to release stress, build resilience, and cultivate a sense of safety, all of which can actually heal our brain.
So when those trauma triggers come up, we can be intentional about utilizing CPR for the Amygdala. At the end of the day we can also circle back to the tough moments that came up and give them the acknowledgement they deserve.
