Therapy for the Immune System
Uncovering the Biochemistry of Trauma, Stress, and Genetics in Mental Health and Immune Function
How our bodies keep the score at a cellular level.
Trauma and chronic stress are not just psychological experiences—they affect the body on a biochemical level, impacting the immune system and altering genetic expression. This cutting-edge course explores the interplay between mental health and immune function, equipping mental health practitioners with knowledge to better understand their clients’ experiences and deliver trauma-informed care. Whether it’s systemic inflammation, altered neurotransmitter pathways, or genetic predispositions, this course will provide actionable insights into how stress and trauma shape overall health and mental well-being.
What Is This Course About?
“Therapy for the Immune System" dives deep into the fascinating connection between psychological stressors and physiological responses, focusing on:
The Biochemistry of Trauma and Stress: How chronic stress affects immune function, triggers inflammation, and alters systemic health.
Genetic Factors in Stress Response: An overview of key genes that influence susceptibility to trauma and stress, including their role in developing mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
Systemic Impacts: How stress-induced immune dysfunction contributes to chronic illness and poor mental health outcomes.
You’ll learn how genetic predispositions can magnify these effects, creating unique vulnerabilities—and opportunities for tailored support strategies.
