What happens in the body when childhood is marked by fear, abuse, or physical pain? In this follow-up to episode 159, we delve deeper into the connection between epigenetics, trauma, and why long-term stress is far more harmful than we previously thought. We talk about how difficult experiences early in life can leave biological traces, how the nervous system is affected – and why the body can eventually get stuck in a state of constant internal readiness.
But there is also another side: the body is not static – it is alive, listening, and malleable. Small everyday actions like breathing, gratitude, forgiveness, care, and community can make a big difference at the cellular level. We explore why it is crucial to understand the body as a cohesive system – and how you can influence more than you think, with less than you think.
Participants in this episode are Axel Bohlin, Hans Bohlin, and Hanna Ålander
