How We Physically Process Trauma: With Dr. Kye Peven

This week we welcome Dr. Kye Peven to our podcast! Dr. Kye holds double doctorates in Oriental Medicine and Naturopathic Medicine and is a master at explaining complex physical systems in simple terms. Dr. Kye walks Katharine and Seth through the physical and physiological processes of shock and the instinctual responses of fight, flight, and freeze. Dr. Kye breaks down in layman’s terms what people in crisis go through immediately following a traumatic event and the long-term effects of not processing that shock. He also helps our audience know what to do when one is faced with shock and when to seek professional help. Dr. Kye is an absolute wealth of knowledge and brings so much wisdom, kindness, and understanding to the human experience. We hope you enjoy the episode, and if you did, please subscribe to our podcast and leave us a review. Thank you!
