NEW EPISODE: How Trauma Shows Up in Our Bodies & What We Can Do About It!

Hey ya'll, 

I am SO excited for you to hear this week’s episode of The Kim Gravel Show! I sat down with trauma expert and physician Dr. Aimie Apigian, and y’all…this conversation is eye-opening, healing, and full of “aha!” moments.

Dr. Aimie breaks down what trauma actually is, how it shows up in our bodies, and what we can do today to start feeling better from the inside out.

Here are my top 3 takeaways:

1. Trauma Isn’t Just Big Events
   Trauma happens anytime your body feels powerless or overwhelmed. Even small moments—especially in childhood—can get stored in your nervous system and shape how you think, feel, and function today.

2. Stress vs. Trauma Is a Game-Changer
   Stress means you’re rising to a challenge. Trauma is when your body shuts down and says, “I can’t.” So many of us mistake chronic overwhelm for “normal” stress, when it’s actually our body signaling a trauma response.

3. Healing Starts with Safety
   Before any deep emotional work, your body needs to feel safe. That means honoring your fatigue, slowing down, nourishing yourself, and building supportive connections. Dr. Aimie’s book, The Biology of Trauma, lays out a powerful step-by-step guide.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, anxious, stuck, or like your body is trying to tell you something…this episode is for you.
