Podcast Summary
Importance of addressing nervous system dysregulation for entrepreneurs: Entrepreneurs can improve focus, time management, and enjoy business success by addressing nervous system dysregulation through trauma-informed care and movement practices.
Understanding and addressing nervous system dysregulation is crucial for entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses and improve their quality of life. Elizabeth shared her personal experience of how her second business was affected by her own nervous system dysregulation and trauma, leading to exhaustion, dissociation, and financial problems. Despite working with business coaches, she couldn't stop pushing herself into exhaustion due to her heightened physical and mental sensations. However, when she started focusing on her nervous system through movement practice, she experienced increased focus, better time management, and was able to enjoy the success she created. This highlights the importance of trauma-informed care and nervous system work for entrepreneurs and professionals in the coaching, healing, and therapy fields. By incorporating these practices into their own work, they can create a safer and more effective environment for their clients.
Regulating the nervous system for improved leadership and life enjoyment: Practicing neuro work and emotional processing can lead to better leadership abilities, increased self-confidence, and a more enjoyable life. Prioritizing self-care and self-regulation can create a productive work environment and lead to fulfilling personal growth.
Focusing on regulating the nervous system through practices like neuro work and emotional processing can lead to improved leadership abilities, increased presence and enjoyment in life, and the development of courage, confidence, and charisma. This can result in better decision-making, increased trust in oneself and others, and the ability to handle the challenges of entrepreneurship with more ease. By prioritizing self-care and self-regulation, individuals can create a safe and productive work environment, separate their worth from their business, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives.
Understanding the impact of nervous system health on our lives: Practicing techniques to regulate our nervous system can improve focus, productivity, and overall well-being for small business owners. Recognizing the impact of stress and trauma on our nervous system and intentionally practicing being grounded and present can lead to better communication and holding space for others.
Our ability to control our lives and be present is significantly impacted by our nervous system's health. If we're living with chronic stress or trauma, our capacity to change and communicate effectively can be compromised. As a small business owner, this can be particularly challenging as we wear many hats and have a great deal of responsibility. By understanding how our body speaks to us and practicing techniques to regulate our nervous system, we can improve our focus, productivity, and overall well-being. This not only benefits us as individuals but also allows us to confidently hold space for others and effectively share our stories and expertise with the world. Additionally, it's important to recognize that our nervous system is wired for what's familiar, and if stress and trauma-based reactions are familiar to us, we may need to intentionally practice being grounded and present.
Nervous system healing tools as 'magic potions': These tools make personal growth easier by regulating the nervous system, promoting joy, and leading to self-discovery and behavior change.
Nervous system healing tools serve as effective "magic potions" that make personal growth and self-care practices easier and more accessible, allowing individuals to integrate them into their daily lives without conscious effort. These tools help regulate the nervous system, bringing about a sense of play and joy, and ultimately, leading to a deeper understanding of oneself and the ability to shift behavior in a more compassionate and curious way. By becoming experts of their own nervous systems, individuals can start to see themselves as self-healers, leading to transformative experiences and a shift away from shame and towards possibility.
Addressing underlying issues for effective self-care: Effective self-care requires addressing past issues and reconnecting with inner selves through neuro training, focusing on present moment, and making simple perspective shifts.
Self-care practices, while important, can sometimes backfire if the underlying issues are not addressed. A client of mine, who was engaging in extensive self-care routines, found herself feeling drained rather than rejuvenated. This resonated with a story I heard from another client, a paid actor, who struggled with self-abandonment and felt disconnected from his unique essence while trying to put his work out there. In both cases, we discovered that healing the fragmented parts and reconnecting with their inner selves was crucial to their growth and success. Neuro training plays a vital role in this process. It's not always about more activation but sometimes about inhibition. For instance, a yoga practitioner I worked with was experiencing chronic pain due to excessive self-stimulation during her practice. By shifting her mental focus from her body to the dots on her hands, knees, feet, and elbows, she was able to complete her routine pain-free. These stories illustrate the importance of addressing the past to move towards the future. While coaching may not delve deep into trauma like therapy, it's essential to open up the nervous system to achieve goals. By focusing on the present moment and making simple shifts in perspective, individuals can overcome challenges and thrive.
Understanding Neurology and Neuroplasticity for Coaching: Neurology and neuroplasticity shape our responses and patterns, impacting mental health. Coaches can elicit change by working with clients' nervous systems, but outcomes vary. Awareness of impact on clients' nervous systems is crucial.
Our brain's responses and patterns are shaped by neurology and neuroplasticity, which can work for or against us. Understanding these concepts is crucial for determining when to use various tools for embodiment, interoceptive focus, or retraining. Our physical body significantly influences our mental health, and coaches can elicit significant change by working with clients' nervous systems. However, it's essential to assess and reassess the outcomes, as every person's unique nervous system responds differently. Additionally, being aware of the impact on clients' nervous systems is crucial, as we all influence others' nervous systems, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Empowering individuals to assess their healing practices and behavior change methods based on their unique neurometrics can lead to more effective and personalized results.
Understanding the Nervous System for Better Client Results: Gain insights into why traditional modalities may not work for 20% of clients and learn how neuro approaches can help, including neuro somatic intelligence coaching, nervous system healing, and working with significant traumas.
Understanding the nervous system can help businesses address the needs of the 20% of clients who aren't getting the desired results from traditional modalities. Neuro is an umbrella that unites various issues, from biomechanical to psychological. It provides assessment tools to determine why certain modalities didn't work and how a person's nervous system perceives inputs. This understanding applies to all types of practitioners, coaches, therapists, and trainers. For instance, even skin contact can impact the nervous system. Neuro somatic intelligence coaching and nervous system healing are essential in integration, where individuals process and apply learned insights into their everyday lives, choosing new patterns and beliefs. This work is particularly effective when combined with neuroplasticity and sacred medicines for radical healing. Additionally, having a solid understanding of the nervous system allows practitioners to effectively work with clients dealing with significant traumas, providing a safe and regulated space for transformation.
Understanding nervous system response for effective interventions: Individualized dosing is essential for effective interventions based on unique nervous system responses
Effective interventions, whether in the form of guidance, exercises, or therapy techniques, require the right dosage to yield positive outcomes. Overdosing or administering the wrong dose can lead to negative outcomes or inability to integrate the experience. Understanding the nervous system and its response is crucial for practitioners to calibrate their work and ensure safety and progress. The perception of the nervous system being worked on is subjective and varies from person to person, making individualized dosing essential. Neurosomatic intelligence programs emphasize this intelligence to recognize and respond to the unique needs of each individual's nervous system, ensuring a more effective and lasting change.
Learn to be trauma-informed and performance-focused: The neuro-somatic intelligence coaching program teaches practitioners, healers, and coaches to use trauma-informed practices to help individuals regulate their nervous systems and performance-focused practices to optimize their health and well-being.
The neuro-somatic intelligence coaching program aims to teach practitioners, healers, and coaches to be trauma-informed and performance-focused. Trauma-informed practices help identify when someone is experiencing a trauma response and empower them with tools to regulate their nervous system without retraumatizing them. Performance-focused practices can help individuals perform optimally and keep them out of the medical system. The program, which is not limited to individuals with deep-rooted trauma, aims to bring these tools and frameworks to a broader audience, including practitioners, therapists, coaches, and healers, to help people who are stuck in painful behaviors, reliving trauma, or experiencing exhaustion and burnout. By understanding the nervous system and implementing simple, practical tools, individuals can experience significant change in their overall health and well-being.
Exploring the intersection of neurology and trauma-informed therapy/coaching: Through this collaboration, gain insights from influential radical thinkers on how to optimize life by understanding the nervous system and using it effectively, making this knowledge accessible to a wider audience.
The collaboration between Brain Based Wellness and Elizabeth's new certification and coaching training represents a unique opportunity to bring a deeper understanding of neurology into the fields of trauma-informed therapy and coaching. The speakers, Matt and Melanie, are influential radical thinkers in this area, and their expertise, combined with the host's experience, will provide valuable insights for those seeking to optimize their lives. The importance of this work stems from the belief that everyone should have access to knowledge about their nervous system and how to use it effectively. The speakers have seen firsthand the transformative power of this knowledge, and they are passionate about making it accessible to a wider audience. The goal is to help individuals take control of their neurology, rather than letting it develop by accident, and to use it to create the lives they desire. This collaboration marks a new understanding in the mental health paradigm and the coaching world, and the speakers are excited to be a part of it.
Healing our nervous systems leads to life-changing experiences: Through specific exercises, stories, and bringing our whole selves to the table, we can master our nervous systems, transform past traumas, and improve our lives and the world
Understanding and healing our nervous systems can be a life-changing experience. Whether through specific exercises, stories, or bringing our whole selves to the table, working with our nervous systems leads to incredible change and results. This work not only benefits individuals but also extends to their families, communities, and workplaces. Applied neurology, the science of hope, empowers us to master our own nervous systems and helps us understand that we always have the ability to change and improve our lives, no matter our current circumstances. This work is our calling, and it has the power to transform not only our lives but also the world. As Melanie said, our bodies are our vehicles for life, and learning how to make the most of them can lead to a joyful and fulfilling journey. In the words of Kathy Mok, "if you're not dead, you're not done," and with the right tools, we can transform our past traumas into gifts.
Trauma as a catalyst for growth and transformation: By addressing the root cause of trauma in the nervous system, we can create safety, resilience, and express our full potential. Incorporate practical tools like breathwork, polyvagal work, and somatics to heal and expand individually and collectively.
Personal and collective trauma can serve as catalysts for growth and transformation in various aspects of our lives, including relationships, income, spiritual practices, and consciousness. However, to effectively heal and expand, it's essential to move beyond survival mode and address the root cause: the nervous system. By incorporating practical and accessible tools, such as breathwork, polyvagal work, and somatics, we can create safety, resilience, and express our full potential. The collective trauma we've experienced as a society presents an opportunity to rebuild and create change, but it requires a shift towards healing and expansion. The role of therapists, healers, coaches, and facilitators is crucial in making these tools accessible to help individuals and society as a whole move forward in a more connected and expansive way.
