Mel Robbins

Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.

Have you ever had a moment where you think, why am I like this?

I mean, you're doing fine, you're functioning, you're successful, and yet somehow one email, one comment, one conflict with somebody, and suddenly you are flooded with emotions.

You're reactive, you're triggered, or you completely shut down.

Or maybe you're wondering, why is my spouse like this?

Why do they shut down?

Why do they get triggered?

Why are they so strict or clingy?

Or they're such a perfectionist?

Well, today you're going to learn the surprising reason why.

Our medical expert today is a world-renowned expert on the long-term impact of childhood trauma and adverse experiences.

And before you go, okay, no, no, no, I haven't had trauma.

I want you to listen to this because it is going to explain so much about who you are and who some of the people that you love deeply are right now in your adult life.

Dr. Nadine Burke Harris is going to teach you that this kind of behavior where you're so emotionally reactive or you shut down or you get triggered by the easiest thing, it is a neurological and biological pattern that started in childhood.

See, there is a stress response that your body learned a long time ago.

But now, you're still trapped in it as an adult.

Now, instead of making yourself wrong, Dr. Burke Harris is here to teach you how to break free from the patterns in your past so you can finally heal yourself and feel in control of your emotions, your thoughts, your actions, and your life.

Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.

I am so excited for the conversation today.

I'm so excited that you're here.
