How do we recognize and address stored trauma in the body? 

A certified functional medicine physician and a former foster and adoptive mom, Dr. Aimie Apigian MD, MS, MPH  bridges the worlds of functional medicine, addiction medicine, neuroscience, attachment, and trauma therapy. Through her online courses, she leads self-help seekers and parents through the essential sequence for safely addressing stored trauma in the body.  Best known for introducing the Biology of Trauma® lens, she integrates somatic work, parts work and biology work for accelerating the healing journey for lasting results, and teaches professionals to do the same in her Biology of Trauma® certificate training program.  

Dr. Aimie’s belief that trauma becomes our biology, affecting both physical health and mental health, sets a unique foundation for her work. She emphasizes that not only does stored trauma become one’s biology, but this biology can perpetuate a state of chronic trauma physiology in the body.
