Join Dr. Don Wood and Brad Bizjack for a powerful live training where you'll discover why unresolved trauma is the hidden root cause of anxiety, depression, most autoimmune issues, and performance plateaus‚ and learn the steps to actually heal it. This isn't theory. This is science-backed methodology that has transformed thousands of lives.
Episode Description:
What if everything you think is holding you back (anxiety, anger, lack of focus, health issues) isn't the real problem at all?
Unresolved trauma is silently running your life, and you probably don't even know it.
In this groundbreaking episode, Brad sits down with Dr. Don Wood‚ a leading expert in trauma resolution (and his personal trauma therapist)‚ to reveal why healing trauma is the missing piece in your success, health, and relationships.
You'll discover why 80% of psychological and physical issues are trauma-based, and why most doctors only treat the symptoms instead of the root cause. Dr. Wood shares the shocking story of how his daughter's Crohn's disease and life-threatening lung disorder completely disappeared after healing childhood trauma‚ proving that unresolved trauma doesn't just affect your mind, it manifests in your body.
Brad opens up about his own journey, being pissed off on a jet ski, completely disconnected from his family despite having everything to be grateful for, and how healing his nervous system unlocked an entirely new gear he didn't know existed.
This episode will fundamentally shift how you understand anxiety, depression, autoimmune disease, ADHD, addiction, and the invisible ceilings you keep hitting in your life.
You'll learn why your nervous system doesn't know the difference between past and present, why you can't think your way out of trauma, and what's actually possible when you heal at the root level.
Key Takeaways:
- Why 80% of psychological and physical issues are trauma-based, and why traditional medicine only treats symptoms, not the root cause of anxiety, depression, and autoimmune disorders.
- How Dr. Don Wood's daughter permanently healed from Crohn's disease and a life-threatening lung disorder by resolving childhood trauma, after doctors said there was no cure and she'd need a colostomy bag for life.
- Your nervous system doesn't understand time. When you have unresolved trauma, your body responds to “triggers” as if the original threat is happening right now, keeping you stuck in fight-or-flight mode.
- Why you can't think your way out of trauma‚ the trauma isn't stored in your conscious mind, it's stored in your nervous system, which is why affirmations and positive thinking don't create lasting change.
- The invisible cost of unresolved trauma, from being unable to be present with your family, to hitting performance ceilings in business, to chronic health issues that won't resolve no matter what you try.
- Brad's jet ski moment, the breaking point when he realized something had to change, and how healing his trauma transformed every aspect of his life.
- Why hypervigilance isn't just "being stressed", it's your nervous system trapped in a trauma loop, constantly scanning for threats that no longer exist, draining your energy and "sabotaging" your success.
