How the Light Gets In 11 - Trauma and Porcupines with Dr. Joanna Scott

  • Résumé

  • Dr. Joanna Scott holds a PhD in Clinical-Developmental Psychology and joins host Julie Scipioni for an open discussion on trauma, her own experiences of trauma, and about her upcoming book, "Human Porcupine: A psychologists's tale of armor and underbelly."

    In this episode, Joanna talks about the definitions and interpretations of trauma, the various ways in which trauma shows up in life, and her own personal experience with trauma. She also gives us a peek into her upcoming book and offers resources and suggested practices for those who want to become more mindful and intentional with regard to their own trauma experience.

    Joanna's book recommendations:

    • The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk
    • Trauma and Recovery by Judith Herman

    Article of interest: The brain's memory hub may explain why some people get PTSD and others don't

    Joanna offers a simple (doesn't mean easy!) mindfulness or awareness practice:   Sit quietly and comfortably. Your eyes can be closed, or you can keep them open with a soft gaze. Take three long, deep, nourishing breaths—breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Then let your breath settle into its own rhythm, as you simply follow it in and out, noticing the rise and fall of your chest and belly as you breathe.Take a few moments and just notice. JUST. NOTICE. Observe and name what you see, sense, feel, hear -- as simply as you can, without judgment, evaluation, explanation, or elaboration. Notice sensations: subtle feelings such as an itch or tingling without judgment, and let them pass. Notice temperatures, tension or relaxation. Notice each part of your body in succession from head to toe.   Sights and sounds: Notice sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches. Name them "clock ticking," "bird, "cool air". Emotions: Allow emotions to be present without judging them. Practice a steady, moving naming of emotions: "annoyed," "bored," "tired," "curious," "bored, "nervous," "interested," "energized". Take three more deep breaths and any movements (gentle stretch, rocking head side to side) before resuming your day.    Connect with Joanna Website: joannascottphd.com Insta: greatscott_doc   ================
