The Allostatic Load

There's this paradoxical sense of peace that happens, right? Like you almost want to be there because life makes sense when you were there. It's everything else that doesn't make sense or you don't really have the ability to come down from it. And we talk about trauma stewardship, how do we integrate trauma, our own trauma, especially if you're doing emergency work and see just horrible stuff. There's a lot of different strategies to integrate that trauma rather than disintegrate. When you integrate it, it's like, okay, I'm going to be all right. When you disintegrate it, then it accumulates.
