In her 20-year practice as a therapist and through her own journey of healing from early childhood trauma, Heather has come to realize the damage that trauma inflicts upon our cells, causing inflammation and a resulting cast of physical issues, which, in turn, fuel our negative thoughts and emotions. On today\u2019s episode, she talks about reaching outside of contemporary psychology\u2019s biochemical model to address clients\u2019 issues at the cellular level and, ultimately, make therapy more effective. \n \nAddressing mitochondrial damage not only enhances traditional therapy practices, but reaches past the limits of merely talking out the problem. When we listen to our body\u2019s needs\u2014the basis of which is aligning with circadian light\u2014we align with our truest selves. Heather discusses the practice of myofascial release, which not only clears out old trauma but allows space for new, healthier connections going forward.\n \nContrary to popular belief, healing can be quick, easy, and even fun. Join today\u2019s discussion with Heather and host Meredith Oke to learn more. \n \nQuotes:\n\u201cWhen I started improving my circadian rhythm and I started to feel stronger, then my emotions would turn around. It\u2019s like my emotions tend toward the more neutral and positive, whereas when your body feels bad, you don\u2019t have energy. The voltage is so low, no wonder your emotions and your thoughts\u2014they\u2019re awful!\u201d (12:53 | Heather Crimson) \n\u201cI think the main paradigm shift needs to be a few things: trusting our bodies and how resilient they are, that our bodies don\u2019t make mistakes, they\u2019re designed to heal. Understanding our bio-electric nature, we are intimately tied to the natural environment and we are a part of that ecosystem\u2026it all ties together\u201d (25:18 | Heather Crimson)\n\u201cIt\u2019s really important to think about all the small choices that one is making every day, especially from the mind and heart space. I think we can obsess about the physiological and not realize how much our thoughts, the nature of our thoughts and the emotional home that we live in is affecting our biology.\u201d (26:07 | Heather Crimson) \n\u201cPsychology Today have been talking about mitochondria being a key factor in mental health since 2017, but they\u2019re still in the biochemical model and, \u2018Oh, what drugs can we make to help our mitochondria,\u2019 and you see that a lot when you start to do the research.\u201d (31:03 | Heather Crimson)\n\u201cFascia, as we know, is key insofar as our bodies\u2019 holding energetic imprints and also how it\u2019s affecting our body\u2019s ability to do quantum communication.\u201d (47:25 | Heather Crimson)\n \nLinks\nConnect with Heather Crimson:\nwww.enlightenedmood.com\nhttps://www.instagram.com/heathercrimson/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/AskHeatherCrimson\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_weMceacpDjpBttaBCvVxg\n\nBon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off\nhttps://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses\n**If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense**\nTo receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day and join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb\nTo find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org\nTo see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com\nFollow on Instagram and Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve\nTwitter: @quantumhealthtv\n \n \nPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/e09aad95-7168-4061-a25c-32b3ed43f989/QBC-Cover-Art-2025-Aug-07-v1.jpg"}
