In this grounded and informative episode of Soulreign with Amanda M Dodd, Amanda is joined by Dr. Amé Foster, PhD, Certified Brain Injury Specialist, Certified Health Coach, and Registered Yoga Teacher, for a science-based exploration of the mind–body connection and how understanding it can open new pathways to healing.
Drawing from her background in applied psychophysiology, mental health, brain injury, and mind–body medicine research, Dr. Foster explains how stress, trauma, and emotional experiences are not just psychological events—they are physiological processes that shape the nervous system, brain function, and overall wellness. This conversation moves beyond theory to examine how dysregulation shows up in daily life and why healing requires skill-building rather than willpower or positive thinking alone.

Together, Amanda and Dr. Foster explore how increasing awareness of the mind–body relationship allows individuals to develop practical techniques that support regulation, resilience, and recovery. This episode offers hope and clarity for anyone seeking a more integrated, evidence-based approach to healing that honors both the body and the mind.

In This Episode, You’ll Explore:
What the mind–body connection really means from a psychophysiology perspective
-How stress, trauma, and brain injury impact the nervous system
-Why healing often requires new skills rather than more insight
-The role of regulation in mental, emotional, and physical wellness
-How mind–body awareness can promote lasting healing
