Join me in this episode where I discuss how endurance sports are linked with trauma, why I put myself through the vigorous training each week and some research that I found relating to this theory.
Points covered in this episode -
1. Endurance Sports as a Coping Mechanism
2. The Role of Pain and Suffering
3. The Connection Between Trauma and High-Achieving Athletes
4. The Neurochemical Effects
5. Healing and Transformation
Potential Downsides
The relationship between trauma and endurance sports is complex.
While some athletes use endurance training as a healthy coping mechanism, others may develop an unhealthy reliance on it.
Recognizing the motivations behind one’s endurance pursuits can be key to ensuring that it remains a positive force in life.
Interesting stuff and certainly food for thought!
