How do we keep group learning a safe space when working with trauma.
- Cautious about groups?
- Afraid of people going into their stories?

Your Biology of Trauma® Guide,
Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH
Physician. Researcher. Patient. Guide.
Aimie Apigian is a double board-certified addiction physician with master's degrees in biochemistry and public health. She is the founder of the Mind-Body-Biology Institute and author of the national bestseller book, The Biology of Trauma.
Her framework didn't come from textbooks. It came from necessity.
As a surgeon and chronic health physician, she saw patients whose stress had made them sick. As a foster-adoptive mother, she experienced firsthand how trauma creates deep patterns. As someone who lived her own health collapse, she discovered what was missing from every approach she tried.
That missing piece became the Biology of Trauma® framework and an integration of psychology, somatics, and biology in the sequence the body needs to heal.
She has guided thousands through this work.
Not by doing it for them, but by being in the ring with them.
"Before I discovered this sequence, I was doing things in the wrong order. My physical symptoms would flare. So would my emotions and my coping mechanisms.
Join me as I guide you through the essential sequence. It addresses stored trauma held in the body. This is experiential work, designed to bring you toward consistent, calm aliveness." - Dr. Aimie
