Our latest episode dives deep into the transformative power of Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI) and its potential to ripple positive change across communities. 

We explore how understanding the nervous system can sharpen our existing strengths, address our weaknesses, and cultivate resilience. By intentionally training our nervous systems, we’re not just enhancing our personal health but fostering a connectedness that benefits the larger society.

The discussion emphasizes the significance of understanding and intentionally training the nervous system for better outcomes as well as exploring the interplay between emotions and behaviors.

NSI brings a holistic approach that acknowledges the complexities of trauma, emphasizing safety, calibration, and the importance of dosage in therapeutic practice. We aim to provide practical tools for practitioners working with the nervous systems of their clients, ensuring that interventions are tailored to individual needs. Our goal is to not only impact individual well-being but also catalyze social change by being trauma-informed and fostering an environment where everyone can thrive.

“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

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

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

We’ve all experienced the inner critic to some extent. You know, that voice inside of your head saying you’re not good enough, or that you’re a bad person. Where does this voice come from and why is it so vicious?

Well, for people dealing with CPTS, this voice is even louder, and even more critical. The volume gets turned up ten notches, and turning it off feels like a game of tug of war. Understanding where this voice comes from and how it manifests is a crucial part to replacing the inner critic with self compassion.

On this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth and Jennifer sit down to discuss the inner critic, specifically the severity of it when it comes to people with CPTS, what activates the inner critic loop cycle, what part of the brain the inner critic activates, the reflexive responses associated with the inner critic, and finally, how NSI training can help with quieting the inner critic.

This type of reflexive response is created as a means of survival, the brain always wants to protect itself. However, the constant cycle of judgment, criticism, demeaning thoughts about the self becomes maladaptive when it stops serving its original purpose.

There is a way to quiet the inner critic, which we want to share with you today.

Tune in to find out how to turn down the volume on the inner critic, and the volume up on self compassion.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Characteristics of the inner critic for those experiencing CPTS
• Where the inner critic lives in the brain
• The fawn response and how it’s related to the inner critic
• What activates the inner critic loop?
• The root cause of the inner critic
• How authenticity is affected by attachment style
• Freeze trauma response
• The opposite of the inner critic
• How NSI training can move you out of the inner critic loop cycle
• The importance of creating an internal environment of safety 
• Being exposed to other people’s inner critic
• Gossip as an external critic
• Combating the external critic with self compassion

Dissociation is one way that our brain keeps us safe from things that may cause us stress or harm. Whether it’s a simple moment of daydreaming or constant state of dissociation in an abusive relationship, being cognitively and physically disconnected is not conducive to healing.

During this episode of Trauma Rewired, Jennifer and Elisabeth discuss the spectrum of dissociation and how it can affect the interoceptive system, or how we process and send information to the brain. They go over the symptoms of dissociation, sharing their personal experiences of dissociation related to childhood trauma.

Our survival brain sees healing as a threat, but there are ways to rehab the deficits in the nervous system to give more clear information to the brain, helping us to think and see more clearly. For example, training our interoceptive system can fight our hypersensitivity to threats and bring us out of disassociation.

To learn what tools can help you retrain your nervous system and the learned conditioned responses that are no longer serving you, tune in to this episode!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Misconceptions about dissociation

• The definition of dissociation and its symptoms

• Dissociation as a protective mechanism

• How the interoceptive system works

• Dissociation and the freeze response

• How dissociation affects the body and how we feel pain

• The link to avoidance behavior

• Tools to bring yourself back from a state of dissociation

• Body dysmorphia and deficits in the visual system

• Living in the body to find a safe place to feel and heal

• Dissociation as an effect of peak somatic experiences

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

The holidays can be a magical time full of celebrations and connection, but they can also evoke feelings of loneliness and overwhelm — especially for those with a history of trauma. This duality of emotions can be hard to navigate, so this episode of Trauma Rewired explores the complex emotions that many experience during this time and strategies to manage them without falling back to harmful behaviors.

The conversation begins by revisiting the concept of neurotags to illustrate how simple sensory inputs like sounds or smells can trigger emotional and physical responses linked to past traumas. Then, we delve into the impact of family dynamics, societal pressures, internal and external expectations, highlighting the importance of self-care and boundary setting.

Hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth also share their personal experiences with holiday-related trauma and reflect on their coping mechanisms that have evolved from maladaptive to healthy over time. As you listen to their insights, you’ll learn tools and strategies to regulate your nervous system, honor your body, and manage expectations amidst the festive chaos.

Tune in to learn what small actions you can take to overcome the holiday blues!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• The concept of neurotags and the holidays

• Emotional complexities of the holiday season and trauma

• Triggers and maladaptive behavior

• Expectations versus capacity

• Self-care and setting boundaries

• The holiday season’s impact on our health

• Healthy coping strategies for the holidays

• What to expect next season on Trauma Rewired

One thing you’ve probably heard over and over again on this season of Trauma Rewired is that nervous systems affect one another. In fact, our nervous systems are continuously responding and adapting to each other’s signals — a process called coregulation.

Coregulation is important for maintaining safe, healthy relationships but can have a negative impact on the nervous system when someone is dysregulated or experiencing misattunement. A lack of connection through coregulation also impacts our ability for emotional self-regulation, which can lead to maladaptive behaviors like drinking, binge eating and codependency.

During this episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer define coregulation and attunement, and explain their role in self-regulation and emotional expression. They dive deeper into the importance of coregulation and the development of self-regulating behaviors in childhood, as well as the impact mothers, and even fathers, have on an infant’s stress response. Finally, you’ll hear how you can create change in your nervous system, and the positive results Elizabeth has noticed in her own life because of her own nervous system work.

As Jennifer says in this episode, “knowledge is power when you put it into action.” So give this episode a listen now!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• What it looks like to have a regulated nervous system

• Our definition of coregulation

• How nervous systems impact each other and our ability to regulate

• Coregulating with pets or nature

• When we learn how to be self-regulators

• The role of attunement for regulation

• The effects of misattunement in childhood

• Can your children inherit your trauma response?

• How the body responds to stress and the HPA axis

• Creating change and repatterning your nervous system

• The influence of fathers on infant’s development

The four trauma responses are the brain’s way of protecting us from threat, real or perceived. They are noncognitive, reflexive outputs that are deeply ingrained in those that have experienced trauma, which makes them incredibly difficult responses to rewire. In this episode, we explore the most dangerous F: fawn and sexual fawn response.

To help us dive deeper into fawn response, we’re joined by Luis Mojica, somatics practitioner and the founder of Holistic Life Navigation. Hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth have personally learned a lot from his teachings, including how the nervous system responds to fawn and the body boundary violations that occur with sexual fawning.

During this episode, Luis goes over the concept of over coupling, specifically how fear merges with intimacy and threat with arousal because of developmental sexual trauma. Luis also touches on the difference between threat and trigger, how the body can be traumatized sexually without the presence of assault, and MORE.

Tune in to learn how you can let go of shame attached to fawn response, recognize your fawn patterns, and start to heal!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• The development of over coupling after developmental sexual trauma

• Fawn response from a neurosomatic perspective

• Shame as a protective mechanism and how to reframe it 

• How to become self-aware of your fawning

• Trigger versus threat

• Differentiation between sexual fawning and arousal

• Fawning and freeze as a hybrid response

• Lying as a trauma response

• Finding compassion during healing

• Body boundary violations in sexual fawning

Embodiment has many different meanings, but to be embodied from a neurosomatic intelligence perspective relates to the integration of the body, mind and spirit. It means you are aware of the connection between your body and its internal sensations, your emotions, and your behaviors.

Sharing her journey to embodiment and how she uses it in her work as a mindset coach is Tracy Litt, speaker and founder of The Litt Factor. Tracy is also a bestselling author and her new book, “Expander: For Trailblazing Women Building a New World,” outlines the damaging paradigms that hold us back and what we can do to replace them.

In this episode, Tracy helps us look at embodiment through the lens of neurosomatic intelligence, including how it impacts our relationships, career, and health. You’ll learn more about dissociation, what keeps us from feeling and being in our bodies, and how emotional expression will transform your life.

There is a natural fear to change and embodiment, but you have to remember that YOU are the creator of your own life. Tune in to find out how to start healing through nervous system work!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• What embodiment truly means

• Embodiment as necessary for change

• Our personal paths to embodiment

• The importance of slowing down

• What disconnects women to their bodies

• The freedom of emotional expression

• Training your nervous system to safely process emotions

• How Tracy uses NSI tools to help clients

• Tracy’s new book, Expander
