In this episode, we delve into the intriguing links between unresolved trauma and dementia, inspired by research from Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Allan Schore. The conversation touches on attachment styles, the impacts of childhood trauma, and how dissociation can affect cognitive health. Personal anecdotes about caregiving for a mom/best friend with dementia/Alz mix comedy with heartache, exploring the challenges and humor found in caregiving. The discussion also critiques the healthcare system’s approach to dementia, particularly hospice care, and emphasizes the need for MUCH better comprehension and early healing intervention in trauma-related disorders.
