<p><strong>What’s your&nbsp;<em>stress language</em>—and how is it secretly shaping your thoughts, reactions, and health?</strong>&nbsp;In this transformative episode of&nbsp;<em>The Dr. Leaf Show</em>, Dr. Caroline Leaf breaks down the six main “stress languages”—the hidden emotional patterns that kick in when life gets overwhelming: the&nbsp;<strong>Fighter, Freezer, Fixer, Fleer, Suppressor, and Pleaser</strong>.</p><br><p>Unlike love languages, stress languages reveal how your brain and body respond to pressure, conflict, and fear.

In this episode, I dive into a topic that hits close to home for so many of us — childhood trauma and how it shapes who we are today. Let’s face it, what we experience when we're young leaves a lasting impact on our mental, emotional, and even physical health. But here's the thing: just focusing on the bad stuff can keep us stuck in the past.</p><br><p>I break down the groundbreaking research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and how they’re linked to long-term health issues. But I also shine a light on something just as important — Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) and how they can help heal and build resilience, even if you've had a rough start in life.</p><br><p>Healing isn’t about ignoring the negative, but it’s also not about getting lost in it. I share practical tips like balancing your memories of the past and practicing the 3:1 thought ratio — a powerful tool to help shift your mindset when you're spiraling. Trust me, it works.</p><br><p>This conversation isn’t about pretending everything is perfect or magically fixing deep-rooted pain overnight. It’s about finding hope, healing, and rewriting your story in a way that empowers you to move forward. Let's tap into that incredible strength we all have and find balance on this journey.</p><br><p><br></p><br><p><strong>Don’t forget to&nbsp;rate, review, and share&nbsp;this episode—it truly helps the show grow.</strong></p><br><p>Register for my annual New Years Brain Detox Challenge here: <a href="https://drleaf.com/pages/brain-detox-challenge" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://drleaf.com/pages/brain-detox-challenge</a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Sponsors making this episode possible:</p><p>-PUORI: add Puori (O3) to your routine now!

While niceness often prioritizes comfort and approval, kindness is rooted in genuine care, bravery, and authenticity. Discover why being kind—not just nice—fosters trust, deeper connections, and long-term growth.</p><br><p>You’ll also learn about the science of kindness, from its biochemical benefits like releasing dopamine and oxytocin to its proven impact on mental health. Plus, I’ll share practical tips for incorporating kindness into your daily routine, including the ideal ratio of compliments to criticisms (hint: it’s 5.6:1!) and how acts of kindness can create a ripple effect of well-being.</p><br><p>Don’t forget to&nbsp;<strong>rate, review, and share</strong>&nbsp;this episode—it truly helps the show grow.</p><br><p>Register for my annual New Years Brain Detox Challenge here: <a href="https://drleaf.com/pages/brain-detox-challenge" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://drleaf.com/pages/brain-detox-challenge</a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Sponsors making this episode possible:</p><p>HERO: Hero Bread is offering 10% off your order.
