Ep. 283 Healing with Chronic Illness: Game-Changing Approaches for Empaths and Highly Sensitives with Dr. Cathleen King of Primal Trust

Feed Your Wild with Venessa Rodriguez

Join me as we welcome Dr. Cathleen King to explore the intricate landscape of chronic illness, the profound connection between our nervous system and stress responses, and the revolutionary healing potential of self-regulation techniques. Dr. King, a physical therapist and mind-body practitioner, shares her personal triumph over a decade of debilitating illness and how it led to the founding of the Primal Trust Academy and Community. We traverse the importance of brain retraining, vagus nerve toning, and trauma-informed attachment repair techniques, which collectively offer a beacon of hope for those entrenched in the throes of chronic symptoms and trauma patterns.

Listen in as we unpack the crucial role of holistic approaches in the rebalancing of the nervous system and the journey through trauma healing. Dr. King and I shed light on the power of education in fostering commitment to the healing process, the necessity of a well-equipped toolkit, and the sequential strategy of integrating somatic experiencing, attachment repair, and more. This episode illuminates why certain therapies may fall short without the foundation of self-regulation and the resilience that comes from a deeper understanding of our bodies' stress responses and their impact on health.

Finally, we address the disconnection from the sacred in our modern lives and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. We celebrate the sensitive and empathic among us, who often lead the way in humanity's healing, and affirm the collective power of shared experiences and mutual support.
