From last week’s episode on perfectionism to topics like CPTSD elements or intuition, Trauma Rewired has discussed numerous issues that result from trauma. You’ve heard a lot about the nervous system and how important it is to regulate it, but how exactly do you do that?

 

During this first installment of a three-part series on core beliefs, you’ll learn how to deconstruct the beliefs that drive your harmful behaviors and create a loop of dysregulation. For example, Elisabeth shares her holiday-related anxiety that is leading to trauma responses like perfectionism; and Jennifer helps her trace back these beliefs and rewire the nervous system — just like they would any client.

 

In the spirit of the holiday season, Jennifer and Elisabeth will also be sharing two neuro drills that can bring you to a feeling of safety when in a state of high stress and dysregulation. This will enable you to challenge the beliefs that have a negative impact on your health and healing.

 

Change becomes possible when your brain and nervous system are on the same page, and listening to this episode will help get you there!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• How core beliefs can develop in childhood
• Changing limiting beliefs from a neurosomatic perspective
• An example of tracing back a belief
• Driving behaviors of limited beliefs
• How the body feels accepting limiting beliefs vs. the opposite belief
• Taking action and changing behavior
• What happens after new beliefs are achieved?
• Elisabeth and Jennifer teach a few neuro drills

Humans are a social species, and we crave human connection and intimacy. Even when our nervous system has been severely affected by trauma, we ultimately need to socialize in order to feel fulfilled and meet all of our survival needs.

 

But how does someone living in a chronic state of stress, cycling through the stages of a dysregulated nervous system, balance this need for socialization while also regulating our emotions and behaviors during extreme, instinctual panic?

 

Elisabeth Kristof of Brain-Based Wellness is again joining host Jennifer to discuss social anxiety, the fourth characteristic of CPTSD. You’ll learn what social anxiety is through the filter of trauma, and how it connects with the other components of CPTSD: toxic shame, inner critic, and emotional flashbacks.

 

In this episode, Jennifer and Elisabeth share their personal experiences with social anxiety, including what physiological symptoms they’ve endured and how they dealt with them using both harmful self-soothing behaviors and healthy regulation tools.

 

Tune in for a deeper understanding of how social anxiety and the other components of CPTSD interconnect, and free resources to help you find the balance between self-care and socializing!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• What is social anxiety?
• Jennifer and Elisabeth tell stories of their own experience social anxiety
• Hypervigilance
• The physiology of being in a state of social anxiety
• Amygdala hijacking
• Cognitive vs. survival brain
• The importance of human connection
• Self isolation vs. introversion
• How to know when you’re in a state of anxiety
• Planning ahead for social situations
• Social situations triggering emotional flashbacks
• Ways to start healing

 

Jennifer and Elisabeth are inviting you to a special live-recording Q&A episode on October 21st! The topics being discussed include integration, training the nervous system, using neuro-somatic tools, and lots more. This is the first EVER community discussion, so don’t miss your chance to be part of the conversation!

Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is only recently beginning to be recognized thanks to the Healing Revolution but its roots actually go back to Freud in the 1800’s. Complex CPTSD sets itself apart from PTSD  by five distinguishing trauma responses and likely stems from an adverse childhood experience, a developmental trauma, a failed environment.

With brain science coming so far in the past twenty years we are now more clear about how trauma affects a developing young brain.  Stress, trauma, and unresolved stress responses create a dysfunctional brain. When our bodies are more stressed it can create a chronic illness or disease state within the body. It’s all just one giant loop. 

How can we understand this in our own life?  Maybe you will find yourself within Jennifer and Elisabeth's stories or their clients' stories. And understand what you may have thought was a personality trait is actually a trauma response.
