Grieving Fantasies and Accepting Realities

Description:
For the believer - trauma recovery is a mind-renewal process that involves being sanctified by God's Word and His Truth just as much as it involves learning/re-learning life skills, stress management skills and stabilizing your nervous system! In this episode I am diving into the spiritual component of the trauma recovery journey by looking at: 

• How God's Word Makes the Crooked Places Straight in Your Heart
• The Corruption of the Human Heart  (How man can never fully grasp the heart of man - we need God for that)
• Double-Mindedness and Personality Instability (How God's Word gives us security and stability)
• Seeking Healing from the World First Rather than seeking the Lord first
  

My hope is that this episode stirs your faith to walk in Victory as a child of God - knowing first that you belong to the Lord as you recover from the pain of trauma.

PRAYERS FOR YOUR TRAUMA HEALING JOURNEY -PART 1

One prayer I often pray is: “Father - make the crooked places straight in my heart”

I get this prayer from the metaphor often found in Scripture of “preparing the way of the Lord”

In the Old Covenant before Jesus came, Prophets would proclaim His coming and they would declare that One was coming who would make things right with humanity. Who would “level the playing field” against sin, corruption and evil.

One who would heal and restore and repair. One who would light the way both in the world and in our hearts.

I love this metaphor because it is so profoundly true in the context of trauma.

Sin & Trauma creates so much confusion, dysregulation and disruption in our hearts and minds.

As a result, we can see things from distorted lenses.

The Gospel of Christ is the true light for trauma because when Jesus comes into our lives - He doesn’t just ask for surface-level relationship with us. He doesn’t save us and then we just continue in our old bent-up, crooked coping mechanisms and habits and flawed ways of thinking and being.

Everyone say it with me: Co-Regulation leads to self-regulation!

This is a key concept for understanding trauma healing at the nervous system level because it teaches us how we can access neuroplasticity with support from other people who have regulated nervous systems.

In this episode, I talk about

• What is nervous system regulation exactly? 
• How does co-regulation lead to self-regulation 
• The Role of Co-Regulation in Neurodevelopment from the womb onward 
• Bottom Up Brain Development (Dr Bruce Perry’s neurosequential development theory)
• Dysregulation, trauma and the healing impact of Co-Regulation
• The Fruit of the Spirit:How the Gospel makes us naturally more regulated and co-regulated
  
  

Scriptures mentioned in the episode: 

• Galatians 5:13-26 
• Matthew 19:13-15 
• 1 Corinthians 13
• 1 Thessalonians 2:6-8

Let's go back to the beginning, shall we? 

In this episode, I share from the book of Genesis - the beginning of the Bible. 

Since I have become a Christian, my worldview has been transformed by the power of God's word and His Holy Spirit. And this worldview change, includes how I approach the philosophical ideas and theories of trauma. What we believe about God and ourselves will impact how we approach the treatment of trauma and the experience of suffering and healing. I believe the Bible gives a coherent, powerful, and ultimately liberating reason for why we experience trauma and suffering in our world today. 

Here's some of what I cover in this episode:
What is theology? 
Why is theology important to trauma? 
Sin and the fall
Why is there trauma in the world? 
How I approach the science of somatics (body-based trauma healing)
Practical guidelines for Christians as you approach your trauma healing journey to stay grounded in God's Word and avoid being led astray.

Wow - this conversation with three of the clients who have gone through Embodied Healing Systems Foundations - the short, primer program for Embodied Healing Systems was BEYOND enriching.

Each of these women bring an intensely intelligent, unique and powerful perspective to their lives and work and you can hear how switched on they are.

Here’s a little summary of what we talked about in this episode:

• The paradigm of pathology (Louisa)
• Habitual Emotional Patterns that become Health Patterns (Sae)
• How ADD symptoms resolve simply through nervous system work (Natalie)
• The body’s innate ability to heal when it’s not being “fixed”
• How the work has just kept on integrating and growing for each of them since the program has finished
• The subtlety of this work
• The power of orienting and the difference it has made in all of our lives
• The integrative nature of Embodied Healing Systems

So I woke up this morning brimming with gratitude for the integration and activation that's happening within me. 

And I am just thinking about all the amazing people that have been divinely put on my path that planted seeds in my spirit.

And I had an overwhelming desire to share it all.

Well this is easily the most vulnerable - and longest live stream I have ever done.

This is the replay of the original stream on instagram.

It's about what I’m going through and the people that brought me here…

Wow I was not expecting this to go on as long as it did - but it did!

And I was not expecting to be brought to tears - okay maybe I was lol! But not that much…

I share what I’m moving through and integrating and what is coming through me. I also share some of the key people along the way that have made such a difference in my life. Not all the key people of course but the ones that came to mind.

I talked about the deep feelings of self-disgust and self-loathing that kept me from seeing myself as I truly was for years - and how meaningful it is to me that I have had people divinely brought into my path to speak truth into my being.

And also some heavy hitting moments with my mom that really formed part of who I am.

• What it's like to experience your nervous system full-on
• Why intellectual stimulation and REAL nervous system education is essential ...and so much more.

Honestly the caliber of practitioners inside EHS is second to none and this conversation is a taste of the kind of work we do on the regular inside the School. 

After all - this is a school for the deeper, smarter, more switched on practitioners.

In this episode Carly shares her experience working together 1-1 for 6 months!

She talks about how it didn't feel fancy to invest in her life and nervous system because there wasn't a tangible result like there is when investing in business.

But ultimately, she fell in love with the work and experienced impact in both her business AND her life. She also talks about her experience inside The School of Embodied Healing Systems and calls this work life-saving!

You will LOVE this candid conversation.
