This YouTube podcast clip features Dr. Don Wood describing the TIP program (a four-hour therapeutic process) and his view that early-life trauma memories create a persistent "trauma loop" that keeps the body in a cell danger response, sustaining inflammation and chronic conditions (he cites Crohn's disease as an example). The program intends to "reset the memory" to stop activation and resolve inflammation.

Because when a child is growing up, you don't have, especially as you, you didn't have enough life experience to interpret what you were experiencing, right? So you don't know how to articulate it, you don't know how to share it, right? And so then that just keeps building up and churning, right? And keeping that inflammation active, right? So what I talk about is what we're going to do in our program, the TIP program is a four hour process that we take people through that is basically going to resolve that trauma loop. And the trauma loop is actually affected by memory. It's all coming down to the way we store the memory of trauma. That keeps the system in a constant activation state and a cell danger response. As long as that's looping, your Crohn's was never going to go away, right? Because your mind thought that something is still happening, right? The subconscious survival part of your brain is fully present in the moment all the time, right? So your mind, even though you weren't in danger anymore, your mind didn't know you weren't in that danger. So it kept the inflammation active because your subconscious mind is fully present in the moment, right? So it stays inflamed when we get the memory reset. And that's what we're going to do, is we reset the memory. When the memory gets reset, it stops the activation.
