    Podcast Summary

    • Understanding the impact of our actions on the nervous systemNeurosomatic intelligence combines psychology and neuroscience to objectively measure and transform sensory input for positive outputs in various areas of life, including leadership, innovation, health, and more. Training focuses on improving mood, mindset, emotions, reactivity, and biases through working with the nervous system.

      Neurosomatic intelligence is the understanding that everything we do impacts our nervous system. It's a combination of evidence-based psychology and neuroscience that helps us objectively measure and transform the integration and interpretation of sensory input to create positive outputs in various areas of life. This includes enhanced leadership, innovation, inclusivity, health, profit, and altruism. Neurosomatic intelligence training brings together the tools to work with the nervous system to improve mood, mindset, emotions, reactivity, and biases. By focusing on neurosomatic intelligence, we can transform thoughts, beliefs, and actions. During our break from recording the Trauma Rewired podcast, Elizabeth and I took a much-needed rest and were rewarded with incredible podcast numbers and personal growth. Our experiences during this break highlighted the importance of rest and self-care for optimal performance and well-being. This season, we'll be diving deeper into the concepts of neurosomatic intelligence and its connection to trauma resolution, behavior change, and mindset change. We'll be teaching and practicing neuro, emotional processing, and the tools to create safety for self-expression. Join us live on Brain Based Wellness for 2 free weeks by going to rewiretrial.com.

    • Exploring the interconnectedness of our nervous systems and the importance of relational healingUnderstanding the interconnectedness of our nervous systems and applying relational healing to attachment wounds is crucial for personal growth and recovery.

      Our nervous systems are interconnected, and the concept of relational healing is crucial for personal growth. The host took a break between seasons to process the deep and complex work of trauma healing and its application to relationships. Rest is essential for recovery and new growth. Season 3 builds on the foundation laid in Season 2, focusing on attachment and the idea that complex trauma is an attachment wound. Our nervous systems are always communicating and adapting to each other, and understanding this interconnectedness is vital for healing and growth.

    • Social connections and trauma impact our nervous system development and functionRecognize that social connections and trauma shape our nervous system health and resilience, affecting our relationships and overall health. It's essential to consider the impact of attachment, current relationships, and larger-scale social structures on our nervous systems.

      Our social connections and trauma significantly impact our nervous system development and function throughout our lives. This relationship between our nervous systems and those around us shapes our ability to create healthy relationships and affects our overall health. It's essential to recognize that these reactions are not based on personality traits but on physiological responses. Nervous system health and resilience cannot be solely focused on individual practices; instead, we must consider the impact of attachment, our current relationships, and larger-scale social structures on our nervous systems. We are deeply social beings, and understanding this connection is crucial for promoting healthy nervous system function.

    • Exploring attachment from individual and macro perspectivesUnderstanding attachment beyond romantic relationships and its impact on our nervous systems and overall body health, with a focus on individual and societal change.

      Our experiences of community, culture, and social media deeply impact our nervous systems and overall body health in non-cognitive, subconscious ways. This season, we will delve deeper into attachment, going beyond just attachment schemas to understanding how our neurotags or neuromatrix adapts and changes based on our experiences. We will explore attachment in various relationships, including intimate, familial, work, and client connections. Additionally, we will discuss the importance of coregulation and the consequences of misattunement. While attachment schema will be a significant focus, we will also expand beyond romantic relationships to examine attachment in relation to ourselves, our bodies, and society at large. This season will explore attachment from both individual and macro perspectives, emphasizing the importance of cultivating presence to reduce dissociation in the presence of others. Overall, we aim to help listeners make intentional changes in their relationship patterns by understanding and training their nervous systems.

    • Exploring Presence in RelationshipsStaying present in relationships positively impacts our internal state, overall health, and fosters healthier connections. Season 3 dives deeper into this concept with experts on attachment schemas, dissociation, and the vagus nerve's role in social connections.

      The ability to stay present in our relationships, regardless of the other person's behavior, has a positive impact on our internal state and overall health. Presence is healing for us and can help create healthier relationships. In season 3, we will delve deeper into this concept through the lens of psychoneuroimmunology and explore how attachment schemas, dissociation, and presence impact our health and immune system. We'll be joined by experts like Matt Busch, Jolie Hamilton, and Melanie Weller, who will share insights on complex PTSD, self-relationships, divinity, and the vagus nerve's role in social connections. Additionally, we'll be introducing new guests who use Neurosomatic Intelligence tools to enhance relational work. Topics include breaking down codependency, narcissism, empathy, misattunement, and community. Toni Jones, our favorite affirmational musician, will also be joining us. Stay tuned for more insightful conversations on these topics and more.

    • Exploring healthy relationships for optimal nervous system healthThis season of the podcast focuses on creating healthy relationships for nervous system health, including personal experiences, science, and daily training

      This upcoming season of the podcast will explore the importance of creating healthy relationships for optimal nervous system health and growth, not just in romantic relationships but in all areas of life. The hosts, Elizabeth and [She's amazing and her name is], will be sharing their personal experiences and the experiences of their clients and community, as well as delving into the science behind attachment and its formation from an early age. They will be discussing the impact of complex trauma on attachment and recognizing that everyone, including parents, is doing the best they can with their nervous systems. The hosts will be opening up about their own stories and encouraging listeners to approach this information with curiosity rather than blame or judgment. They believe that daily training of the nervous system is essential for making real changes in relationships and integrating this knowledge into action.

    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.

    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 The Relationship To Our Body

    Healing The Relationship To Our Body

    Relationship to the Body

    Season 03, Episode 30

    Our bodies are always speaking to us, but often we’re not able to understand or listen to what they’re trying to communicate.

    In this episode, hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth unpack the complexities of our relationship to the body, including how our perceptions, emotions and beliefs about our bodies significantly impact our overall well-being. They dive deep into the impact the interoceptive system has on the nervous system, emotions and behaviors, especially in relation to disordered eating and body dysmorphia.

    Jennifer and Elisabeth explore how past traumas shape our body image and inhibit our ability to express emotions safely through the body, sharing their own journeys from the cycle of maladaptive behaviors to loving acceptance.

    Tune in to hear their insights into having a healthier, more compassionate relationship with your body!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • Exploring the relationship to the body
    • How we develop our body image
    • Interoceptive awareness and our ability to connect to the body
    • The connection between trauma and the relationship to the body
    • Understanding body dysmorphia and dissociation
    • Sensory mismatch in relation to body dysmorphia

    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

    Toxic Shame Of Complex Post Traumatic Stress

    Toxic Shame Of Complex Post Traumatic Stress

    As a human, you have most likely felt shame to some degree. Although it is a normal human protective emotion to keep us safe on a societal level, shame can become toxic when it persists and when we internalize the critical narrative from that shame.

    Toxic shame shows up in many ways, however, the way it shows up physiologically is understood the least, but the most telling. From posture, dilated pupils, tense muscles, to inflammation in the body, headaches, and diseases, it is possible to visibly see shame on a person’s body. This is a result of the body protecting itself, and there is no shame in that. However once it becomes maladaptive, and absolute “I am” statements start becoming permanent fixtures in rumination, one’s perception of self shifts, which can eventually cause serious mental and physical health issues.

    On today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer discuss how toxic shame differs from regular shame, how toxic shame shows up, what happens in the body when it does, where toxic shame originates from, how shame and pleasure shows up in those with a history of childhood sexual abuse, and what you can do to recognize and repattern toxic shame with Neuro-Somatic Coaching.

    Just as toxic shame is developed, it can be undeveloped, by learning how to recognize when and how it shows up in the body, then repatterning the neural pathways in real time using NSI tools, and allowing repressed emotions to mobilize.

    This episode is filled with knowledge and insight you don’t want to miss. Tune in for this and more!


    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • The difference between guilt and shame
    • Difference between regular shame and toxic shame
    • How toxic shame affects posture
    • How shame is a protective response
    • What is shame inflammation and its correlation to disease states?
    • Why mobilizing the body is crucial to process emotions
    • What is emotional attunement?
    • Overcoupling of shame and pleasure in the case of childhood sexual abuse
    • The types of body boundary violations
    • What to do if you are having a toxic shame response?
    • Why it’s important for practitioners to understand when a client is in a shame response
    • Repattering shame in real time

    Attachment is the Root of Complex Trauma

    Attachment is the Root of Complex Trauma

    Our last episode introduced the brain as a social organ, and how this topic relates to the neurobiology of relationships. Today, we dive deeper into how the brain develops through social interactions, why social connection is a survival need, and what happens in the body when we experience connection with other people.

     

    Matt Bush is joining Jennifer and Elisabeth to discuss the impact of trauma on the brain’s functioning, and therefore, our relationships, expression, sense of safety, and overall health. They talk about what happens when you’re not primed for connection in childhood, how the brain is wired to be part of the social structure in relationships, what part of the brain guides us toward dysregulation and protective outputs, and lots more.

     

    If any of this sounds confusing, be sure to listen for Matt’s definitions of attachment schema and C-PTSD from a neurosomatic perspective, which make it easier to understand how these systems and inputs come together for integration.

     

    You’ll also finally learn why complex trauma is an attachment would, and most importantly, that change is possible and how you can get started NOW. Tune in for all this and more!

    Attachment Styles Can Change and Are a Lens That Filters Relationships

    Attachment Styles Can Change and Are a Lens That Filters Relationships

    When a child’s needs aren’t being met by their caregiver, by not being fed or feeling safe, they develop a distorted view of relationships. This attachment schema is the lens through which they examine the behavior of others, impacting their ability to form relationships and lead a healthy, happy life.

    In past episodes, hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth have talked about connection being one of our survival needs, but an insecure attachment directly challenges this need. Being close to others, feeling vulnerable and connected, can also be very dysregulating to those who learned to survive with unemotional or unreliable caregivers.

    So, how can you overcome your learned patterns to create healthy relationships with yourself and others? The answer is nervous system training.

    In this episode, Jennifer and Elisabeth will walk you through attachment schema, how the three insecure attachment styles develop and show up as behavioral outputs, and how nervous system regulation has helped them work toward lasting change.

    Tune in for all this and more!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • Attachment style from the NSI perspective

    • How insecure attachment schema affects social development

    • Nervous system regulation as a way to change our patterns

    • The areas of the brain responsible for creating neuro tags

    • How the 3 insecure attachment styles develop and are expressed

    • Misconceptions about avoidant attachment style

    • Disorganized attachment and complex trauma
