Listen "Trauma in the Brain: What Brainscans Reveal About Emotional Dysregulation"
Episode Synopsis
Description:Trauma leaves a mark—but not just on memory or mood. It leaves patterns in the brain.In this episode of Off Label: Data, Diagnostics, and the Future of Mental Health, we explore how early-life stress (ELS) alters brain function and emotional regulation—and how EEG technology can help us see it. Dr. Steve Rondeau walks us through the neuroscience of trauma, revealing how neural oscillations shift in response to early adversity and how these changes shape behavior long into adulthood.We’ll discuss the practical applications of EEG in trauma-informed care: how clinicians can use brain-based data to identify dysregulation, tailor interventions, and better understand emotional reactivity. You'll also hear how this emerging approach challenges the limits of traditional psychiatric models, offering a more precise and compassionate lens on trauma.Whether you’re a therapist, researcher, or simply interested in the science of healing, this episode offers grounded insights into how trauma lives in the brain—and how EEG may help point the way forward.
