Dealing with Trauma - The SHOCK loss of Michael Mosley Triggers an Outpouring of Grief and Disbelief

Patricia Worby, PhD

My reaction to the death of TV presenter and doctor Michael Mosley was one of deep sorrow and shock despite not knowing him personally. I was stunned by the unnecessary loss but also realising I was reacting to an event that happened to me 40 years ago!! Find out how here.

00:00 Nature of Trauma - shock trauma of loss e.g. the tragic death of Michael Mosely, one of the few TV doctors talking the language of integrative medicine - someone I greatly admired.
02:31 Very triggered by his death due to my own history with shock trauma - losing my Dad while I was away. Trigger = an internal traumatic re-enactment of previous experience.
05:31 You can't process trauma with willpower as it's generated in your survival brain. Causes many symptoms in body including pain, fatigue, gut issues and inflammation.
07:40 Trauma exists in most childhoods, as attachment trauma = emotional wounding, particularly for emotionally sensitive people (HSPs).
09:00 Usually shows up as long-term chronic conditions such as CFS/ME, Auto-immune Disease like Ehlers Danlos and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Will not respond to trying to 'fix it' (cognitive approach), particularly left hemisphere attention (grasping, linear, reductive)
11.40 Requires unconscious processing via body connection and unprocessed emotions stored there.. In the immediate aftermath need to take control (cognitively) but later on will need a different form of healing allowing you to heal at a deeper level.
15:50 Healing in safe physical connection with another allows you to feel the feelings without judgement or competition (no shame).
17:42 Social media is a shaming environment because it lacks heart to heart connection.  AI particularly illustrates this as it shuts down our emotional centres promoting disconnection. 
19:50 Recovery requires rewiring brain neurobiologically using somatic psychotherapy (talking therapy doesn't work so well with trauma as it is perceived in the body).
21:00 Finding a neuro-biologically safe state enables brain integration and mind and body connection. Get help, reach out to reverse chronic disease. Everything is possible...
