Episode 379: Sarah Peyton. Trauma & Relational and Embodied Language

Today on the podcast, I'm very excited to have Sarah Peyton back. Sarah's joined me previously in episode 260, and she's been a contributor to the Master Class series in my membership community, Trauma Therapist | 2.0.  This interview is a first with The Trauma Therapist | Podcast. In this interview, (the first of 3 in a series), Sarah leads us in an introduction to the 8 neurological circuits (eg, happiness, disgust, and seeking, to name just a few) that were initially introduced by the late Estonian neuroscientist, Jaak Panksepp.  Sarah talks about how these different circuits are impacted and influenced by trauma, what's involved with treating them, and how clinicians can learn to identify whether or not they've been impacted. Today, in episode #1, we talk about rage. A giant thank-you to my sponsors for this episode, Brighter Vision Web Solutions.
