Trauma Increases Headache Risk 4-Fold

Health Videos, Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

If you suffer from tension headaches or migraines, here is a study you should know about. Your headache may actually be coming from a trauma that you went through earlier in life… …not just from the stress of the current day. In fact, trauma might be why you get headaches in the first place, as the participants from this study who never had headaches before going through a trauma experienced significant and persistent headaches disorders afterwards.

A New Way To Measure Stress… Your Hair

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

We all know someone’s who’s hair has literally seemed to turn grey overnight from stress… …it’s a very real thing. I know during the time when, years ago, my kids and I were unexpectedly abandoned by my then-husband who disappeared one night (and the stressful subsequent divorce that ensued) I got my fair share of grays that seemed to pop up daily and have remained in place right now, even 5+ years later. We also know during times of chronic stress, hair can become markedly thinner, falling out strand by strand or in clumps, even clogging your shower

Proof That Early Life Experiences Affect Your Adult Body

Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study shows what we can already *feel* â€” â€” that trauma in childhood affects our physical health as an adult. Our cells, organs, tissues, physical body holds on to the effects of emotional trauma and this energetic tension literally changes how our body is able to function. I’ve written previous blog posts highlighting this, how our body’s health is an expression of our emotional well being, in articles such as: Your Outlook Can Literally Speed Brain Decline (and 9 ways to stop it) Anxiety Doubles Cancer Mortality. It Doesn’t Have To… Here’s How. OCD May

The Healing Process Of Grief

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

Grief after experiencing a sudden loss or unexpected change in circumstance can knock your feet right out from under you. Whether from the death of a loved one, a trauma, a job loss or divorce, severe illness, surgery, or any other unexpected change, it can be hard to endure… …both emotionally and physically exhausting. But it can also make room for growth. For survival, for strength, and ultimately, for a new you to emerge. Even if you are forced to become a new version of you that you never even wanted to be… …the process of grief is actually

Childhood Trauma Increases Risk Of Self Harm. Here’s Help.

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

Children who are maltreated in any way — physically, sexually or emotionally — are more likely to inflict self injury to their body later in life. And it’s important to note, if your child has suffered any of these types of traumas — even if they are not depressed or suicidal — this study still applies. Researchers found that children who were maltreated but had no suicidal ideation were still over three times more likely to harm themselves as peers who were not abused, a new study published Nov 28, 2017 in Lancet Psychiatry finds.

Letting Go Helps You Heal (Here’s How)

Healthy Mindframe, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

Well I don’t know much. I do know that this world is a complicated, beautiful, painful place. And I have lived quite a few decades and for roughly half of that time I’ve been a practicing physician as well, so I’ve learned quite a bit about what allows the human body to be resilient to stress and trauma and illness and disease.

What heals people in real life is the total opposite of what I learned about healing in medical school. We
