Today’s episode is an absolute gem, especially if you’ve ever felt that nagging feeling that something just isn’t quite right, but you can’t put your finger on it. You know, those moments when everything seems okay on the surface, but deep down, you feel uneasy?

Well, you’re not alone, and we’ve got an expert to shed some light on this!

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Meg Arroll to the show. Dr. Arroll is a psychologist, scientist, and the brilliant author of "Tiny Traumas: When You Don’t Know What’s Wrong but Nothing Feels Quite Right." In our chat, she dives deep into the concept of "tiny traumas" — those small, often overlooked experiences that accumulate over time and can significantly impact our mental and physical health.

Listen in to learn the significance of these tiny traumas and what you can do about it.

• The connection between trauma and conditions like IBS, anxiety, and depression.
• Examination of high-functioning anxiety and its manifestations, such as emotional blunting and sleep problems.
• The stigma around health issues like urinary incontinence and menopause and the importance of open conversations.
• Techniques for nervous system regulation and grounding to address underlying anxiety.
• The prevalence of imposter syndrome, especially among women and marginalized groups, and its link to microaggressions in the workplace.
• Emphasis on the mind-body connection and the role of psychological treatments in improving physical conditions.
