    Podcast Summary

    • A transformative psychedelic journey leads to profound understanding and healingThrough a psychedelic journey, individuals can discover the root causes of deep-rooted issues and gain profound insights for healing and growth.

      The psychedelic journey, filled with intense emotions and revelations, can lead to profound understanding and healing of deep-rooted issues. Jennifer, a neurosomatic intelligence and psychedelic integration specialist, shares her personal experience of discovering the source of her dysregulated nervous system, attachment style, and disordered behaviors through a transformative session in the maloca. Despite the sadness and intensity of the experience, she expresses gratitude for the insights gained. The process of healing is not always predictable, and individuals may need to adjust their approach based on their unique experiences. The control lies in the choice to participate in the ceremony and not consume alcohol, but the journey itself is largely out of one's control.

    • Trusting the Ayahuasca journeySurrendering to the unknown and trusting the process of Ayahuasca can lead to profound personal growth and healing, even if the journey is unexpected or unfamiliar.

      Surrendering to the unknown and trusting the process can lead to profound personal growth and healing. The speaker, in her Ayahuasca journey, was initially unsure of what she was doing or what she needed. But by fully surrendering and trusting the medicine, she experienced a deep sense of safety and wholeness, which marked the retrieval of a part of herself that had been deeply affected by past abuse. The journey was not what she had anticipated, as she ended up consuming a larger dose than planned and experiencing a state of sedation, akin to being prepared for surgery. Despite the unexpected nature of the experience, she felt a strong connection to the community and encouraged others to share their stories. This communal sharing could foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the transformative power of Ayahuasca and the importance of trusting the journey, no matter how unfamiliar or uncertain it may be.

    • Ayahuasca ceremony: Disconnected, transformed, and presentDuring Ayahuasca ceremonies, participants may feel disconnected from their bodies, experience intense physical and emotional processes, and it's crucial to respect the shaman and stay fully present.

      Ayahuasca ceremonies involve a deep and transformative experience, often including various physical and emotional processes like purging. During a jaw surgery, the speaker describes feeling disconnected from her body, experiencing strange sensations and being pulled into consciousness during the ceremony. She emphasizes the importance of respecting the shaman's preferences and being fully present in the experience. The ceremony continued late into the night, with various participants undergoing surgery and experiencing purging in different ways. The overall atmosphere was quiet and intense, reflecting the profound nature of the Ayahuasca journey.

    • A profound sense of peace and self-discovery in the jungleConnecting with plant medicine in the jungle can lead to deep introspection, personal growth, and a renewed sense of joy and vitality.

      The experience of being in the jungle and connecting with plant medicine can lead to a profound sense of peace, acceptance, and self-discovery. The speaker describes feeling completely still and at one with nature, even to the point of questioning if they were still alive. However, as they began to come back to themselves, they made a commitment to face their fears, heal, and choose themselves above all. This internal transformation led to a renewed sense of joy and vitality, and a feeling of impending rebirth. The importance of nervous system regulation and plant medicine in this process cannot be overstated, as they facilitate deep introspection and personal growth.

    • A profound Ayahuasca experience at SoltaraSoltara offers a safe and supportive environment for Ayahuasca journeys, leading to transformative experiences and deep connections. Recommended for those seeking personal growth through plant medicine.

      Transformative and otherworldly experience of participating in an Ayahuasca ceremony at Soltara. The speaker describes the visual enhancements, supernatural vibes, and deep connections made during the journey. The experience was so profound that it felt like a rebirth, leaving the participant with a renewed appreciation for the potential of psychedelics and the power of traditional plant medicine. The safety and support offered at Soltara make it an ideal destination for those seeking to explore the healing potential of Ayahuasca. The speaker strongly recommends Soltara to anyone interested in journeying with Ayahuasca, emphasizing that there are no personal gains from the recommendation, but a genuine desire to share the positive experience. The journey was not without challenges, as the speaker and their roommate both underwent surgeries during their stay, but the overall experience was one of growth and renewal. The speaker looks forward to attending another ceremony at Soltara in the future and encourages listeners to consider leveraging the power of Ayahuasca and the nervous system for personal growth.

    Anxiety

    Anxiety

    In this episode of Trauma Rewired, hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by Matt Bush as they unpack anxiety. The conversation starts with an exploration of how neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD and autism impact executive functioning, sensory processing, and create hypersensitivities that lead to emotional overwhelm. They highlight the importance of self-assessment and retraining of sensory systems to better manage these challenges. Elisabeth Kristof further connects developmental and complex trauma to nervous system responses, noting how trauma shapes our interpretation of signals and can keep individuals in a constant state of fight, flight, or freeze. Jennifer Wallace emphasizes the crucial aspect of self-awareness and deep self-knowledge in managing anxiety, advocating for practices that foster body awareness, emotional expression, and self-regulation.

    Anxiety is not just a mental disorder but a physiological response emanating from sensory mismatches and respiratory inefficiencies. Chronic hyperventilation, for example, sends constant threat signals to the brain, keeping the nervous system on high alert. Through regular neuro training and specific breathing exercises, individuals can better regulate their nervous systems and reduce anxiety. 

    Let’s reframe anxious thoughts and use cognitive tools to consider positive outcomes, thereby preventing the negative spiral of anxiety and trauma.

    Discuss the tangible benefits of applying neurosomatic principles to everyday life. Explore sensory mismatches, emphasizing the need to address deficits in visual, vestibular, somatosensory, and interoceptive systems to alleviate anxiety. We advocate for ongoing self-assessment and retraining as ways to establish a new baseline of wellness. 

    Topics discussed in this episode:

    • Impact of Neurodivergence

    • Trauma and Nervous System Responses

    • Self-Assessment and Sensory Retraining

    • Role of Chronic Hyperventilation

    • Anxiety as a Physiological State

    • Cognitive Reframing of Anxiety

    • Female-Specific Anxieties

    • Sensory Mismatch and Anxiety

    Stress Response In Relationship

    Stress Response In Relationship

    This week on Trauma Rewired, hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth welcome back Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro to explore the physiology of stress and the transformative power of neurosomatic intelligence.

    We know that connection is crucial to our survival as humans, but for those with complex trauma, even the healthiest relationships can trigger a stress response and lead to maladaptive behaviors. This episode provides a comprehensive look at how stress impacts our relationships and physical health, and highlights the importance of consistent nervous system training to rewire the brain’s response to stress and build resilience.

    The conversion starts by examining what happens in the brain when a stress response is activated, and how developmental trauma shapes our nervous system and subconscious reactions as adults. Matt breaks down complex neurological processes, covering the role of the HPA axis, immune dysregulation and increased inflammation. Jennifer also introduces a new concept, called “shameflammation,” as they delve into the connection between chronic stress and disease in the body.

    Listen to this episode to learn more about stress response in relationships and how you can retrain it through NSI!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • Understanding the HPA axis and stress response

    • How developmental trauma shapes our stress response

    • General adaptation response and the impact of stress on the body

    • Shame and the inflammatory response

    • The neurological response to stress

    • The connection between social threat, inflammation and stress response

    • Neurosomatic intelligence as a tool for change

    The Neurology of Empathy

    The Neurology of Empathy

    Believe it or not, empaths and narcissists have foundational similarities. Not only does the brain chemistry look the same, but empaths and narcissists both struggle with nervous system regulation and look to others to help them regulate their emotions. But whereas the narcissist avoids the emotions of others, empaths are deeply affected and have a physiological experience to the emotions of others on a subconscious level. This can lead to emotional fatigue, chronic stress, poor sense of self and more.

    So what’s the difference between having empathy and being an empath, and how can you change subconscious behavior? In this episode, Elisabeth, Jennifer and Matt cover the signs of being an empath, the causes of elevated empathy, such as deficits in the interoceptive system, and how it impacts our overall health.

    If you identify as an empath, tune in to learn about the power of nervous system regulation for changing harmful empath behavior!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • What it means to be an empath
    • Empathy from a neurosomatic perspective
    • Causes of high empathy
    • Why being an empath isn’t always a good thing
    • How deficits in the interoceptive system lead to empath behavior
    • The correlation between sensory mismatch and empathy
    • How to retain your empathic gifts and also prioritize yourself
    • Nervous system regulation as a tool for change

    Healing Dissociation

    Healing Dissociation

    “You can’t be present and dissociated at the same time.”

    These wise words from co-host Jennifer Wallace encompasses why this topic is so important to explore. Presence is the truth of our emotions and our reality, because we cannot heal what we do not feel. Being present with our emotions, and feeling them in our body, allows us to truly understand and heal our nervous system in ways that dissociating from the body cannot.

    This is a powerful conversation highlighting what goes on in the brain and nervous system when we dissociate, and how this protective mechanism can become maladaptive when its original function no longer serves us. There is a way to overcome dissociation and authentically feel emotions in the body to truly heal.

    In this episode, Elisabeth Kristoff and Jennifer Wallace deep dive into dissociation and its characteristics. The discussion begins with defining what dissociation is and how it is learned at an early age as a protective mechanism, followed by unraveling how dissociation shows up in the brain, specifically which brain structures are involved in disassociation, as well as the connection between the vagus nerve and the interoceptive system as it pertains to dissociation.

    It’s not enough to just understand these concepts intellectually, the real healing happens when we can experience them, which means feeling them in our bodies. That’s where Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching comes in, where we teach you the tools you need to heal the whole self, and move out of dissociation and into the body in a safe way.

    Tune in for this and more!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • Definition of dissociation

    • How dissociation is on a spectrum

    • The protective aspects of dissociation

    • How dissociation gets wired in the brain from an early age

    • The function of the thalamus and how it’s related to dissociation

    • The deep connection between the vagus nerve and the interoceptive system

    • How the brain makes predictions based on our past experiences

    • The possibility to train in new protective skills that are not maladaptive

    • Knowing about the  nervous system is not the same as experiencing it

    • Spiritual bypassing and dissociation 

    • The importance of presence in understanding the truth of emotions

    Self Abandonment of Complex Post Traumatic Stress

    Self Abandonment of Complex Post Traumatic Stress

    The essence of who we are radiates when we live in our purpose. When we can connect with our true self and share it with others. There are many blockers stopping us from being able to express our feelings, or even know what we’re experiencing, and one of them is self abandonment.

     

    Don’t let the “self” fool you — sometimes, we unintentionally abandon ourselves because of the survival responses born as a result of trauma. Until healing begins, we can get stuck living through learned patterns of ignoring our own needs in favor of others around us, suppressing feelings to protect ourselves from the neglect of others, and rejecting our intuition.

     

    Trauma Rewired host, Jennifer, and Elisabeth Kristof of Brain-Based Wellness are finishing the CPTSD series by discussing this final component of CPTSD: self abandonment. They talk about the ways we abandon ourselves through the lens of their own experiences, and how it manifests in a cycle of self-abuse and shame.

     

    If you find yourself disregarding your own health and happiness, tune in to understand this component of CPTSD and how healing is possible!

     

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • Jennifer shares a recent story of self abandonment

    • Elisabeth defints self abandonment

    • Dissociation as a survival response

    • The effects of parentification

    • Healing self abandonment

    • How all the components of CPTSD work together

    • Becoming an expert of your nervous system

    • Toxic stress and disease

    • Learning to say “no” and self-regulate

    • The power of self-expression

    Social Anxiety of Complex Post traumatic Stress

    Social Anxiety of Complex Post traumatic Stress

    The term social anxiety gets tossed around a lot these days, however individuals with CPTS who experience social anxiety feel its effects on a visceral level. It can be highly debilitating and can affect the way we relate and connect to others, when the need for connection is at the very core of what makes us human.

    Knowing if you actually have social anxiety can be tricky, especially if there are socially acceptable coping mechanisms like overconsumption of substances involved. The proof is in the nervous system outputs, such as migraines, pain, exhaustion, or binge eating, after every social event. As well as, if these outputs cause you to refrain from being in social settings all together. At these times, it's important to reflect on whether you're genuinely comfortable in social situations or if social anxiety may be at play.

    In today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer explore the world of social anxiety, specifically what signs in your nervous system to look out for if you suspect you have social anxiety, the difference between social anxiety and being socially awkward, the role substance use plays, how your attachment style can indicate your level of social anxiety, and how to repattern the nervous system using NSI tools to overcome social anxiety, and much more.

    As humans, we need to connect to others, and we need relationships to thrive. Social anxiety can impede these very human needs, however there is a way around it. It is possible to change how your nervous system takes in information, and change the way it reacts to that information, using simple tools to rewire and regulate.

    Tune in to hear how and more!


    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • What is social anxiety?

    • The nervous system outputs associated with social anxiety

    • Substance use and social anxiety

    • How the inner critic and toxic shame shows up in social anxiety

    • What is hypervigilance?

    • Physiological reasons why stress in social situations can cause protective outputs

    • How ADHD and social anxiety overlap

    • How attachment styles are related to social anxiety

    • Repatterning the nervous system to experience new outputs using NSI

    Healing Autoimmune in Two Worlds: Plants & Western Medicine

    Trauma Rewired has addressed many issues that arise when trauma is stored in the body for years, decades, or even a lifetime. One of them is that this type of chronic stress can lead to autoimmune diseases, heart disease and more, as well as intensify pain experienced from these serious health issues.

    Ayahuasca, Integration, and Neurosomatic Intelligence

    Ayahuasca, Integration, and Neurosomatic Intelligence

    The many gifts received through ceremony with ayahuasca from start to finish cannot be measured within the confines of the days in a retreat. The potential reveals itself during ceremony, but the gifts are found once you’re released into the world again, armed with awareness. However, potential is just that. How do you take that potential and transform it into healing? 

     

    Integration after ceremony is arguably the most crucial part of the whole process, because this is where you train your body to receive and transmute the heavy dysregulated energy you’ve been carrying in your nervous system your entire life, into regulation.

    Our host, Jennifer Wallace, recognized this after an extremely eye opening ceremony, that was in fact dysregulating in nature, so she knew there was a lot of work to be done post ceremony.

    Integrating the new information into her life in order for her body to feel safe was one of the greatest gifts she gave to herself, because now it has helped her create the big life she knew she could live. Jennifer is able to live fully expressed, and if she isn’t, she has the tools to bring her back to that aligned place.

    Jennifer has learned the tools to integrate the lessons that come up during plant medicine ceremonies and she wants to share her methods with you.

    Tune in to hear the importance of integration and how Jennifer was able to achieve it by healing her nervous system.

     

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • The importance of preparation (ie. dieta) prior to ceremony
    • Shifts that could take place in your life during ceremony
    • Being open to all that comes up during ceremony
    • Who are you after releasing trauma?
    • Working with and transmuting anger
    • Why it is important to integrate after transformation
    • What are body boundary variations  
    • The importance of nervous system healing
    • Changing your lived experience with awareness
    • The emergence of a long term healing blueprint
    • Recap of ACE scores
