We first explored this question in Season 2 and felt it was necessary to revisit; with more altitude, updated research and further along in our healing journeys. 

In this episode, hosts Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace dive deep into the realm of Complex Post Traumatic Stress, or CPTS, exploring the complexities of trauma and the impact on our nervous systems. We offer a comprehensive understanding of its five key components. The hosts share practical tools and emphasize the importance of healing and understanding our own nervous systems. 

Join us as we re-examine the language surrounding complex trauma and discuss the potential for real change and healing. We unpack its somatic and neurological effects, share practical tools for healing, challenge traditional perspectives on trauma, and empower you to cultivate a resilient nervous system. This conversation sheds light on how trauma affects not only emotions, but also posture, movement abilities, and overall brain function. Together, let's embark on a journey of self-understanding, compassion, and intentional neurosomatic rehabilitation

“Impaired integration is such a hallmark of the traumatized brain. It disrupts our ability to balance our nervous system. Neurobiologist Dan Siegel says that at its very essence, the purpose of trauma therapy is to restore brain integration.”

 

On today’s episode, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness discuss the neurological impacts of trauma, specifically how disassociation and fragmentation affect our brain integration. They’re joined by Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro and co-founder of the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching Certification Program.

 

Expect to understand more about how early childhood trauma results in brain dysfunction, shapes our basic functioning and filtration systems, and can overpower the cognitive mind. You’ll also learn what reintegrating memories actually means, and why integration is the key to healing.

 

Trauma Rewired has mentioned many times that without integration, long-lasting change is difficult, but without the survival brain and emotional brain working together, integration, specifically vertical integration, is impossible. This may sound overwhelming, but the good news change IS possible because of neuroplasticity.

 

If you want a deep understanding of vertical integration and how trauma affects the developing brain, tune in to learn more!

 

Tune in to hear how neurosomatic intelligence can help get you to integrate and regulate your nervous system!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Defining complex trauma from a neurosomatic perspective

• Effects of trauma on brain development

• Dissociation and fragmentation of self

• Memory integration and why people feel “stuck”

• Real examples of trauma responses overpowering their cognitive brain

• Dissociating from the different parts of your self

• What is vertical integration?

• How developmental trauma affects vertical integration

• Dysregulation between the brains left and right hemispheres  

• The SAID Principle in realtion to nervous system imbalance 
• Benefits of learning more about trauma and the brain

“We all know this phrase, ‘if you wanna get out of the hole, stop digging.’ But when you're in complex PTSD, the brain is digging and you can't make it stop. It just keeps going back to these same experiences and these same feelings. It shows up in long-term development of the nervous system. It shows up in the physical body. It shows up because we don't know how to stop the digging.”

 

Today, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness are again joined by co-founder of the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching Certification Program, Matt Bush. During the second half of their discussion on complex trauma and the developing brain, you’ll learn why it’s so hard to break the brain’s unhealthy patterns and how you can “stop the digging.”

 

In this episode, Matt explains how the three areas of the brain make a framework to process emotions, regulate emotions, and incite action. Trauma Rewired has mentioned many times that without integration, long-lasting change is difficult, but without the survival brain and emotional brain working together, integration, specifically vertical integration, is impossible. This may sound overwhelming, but the good news change IS possible because of neuroplasticity.

 

If you want a deep understanding of vertical integration and how trauma affects the developing brain, tune in to learn more!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• What is vertical integration?
• Our brain’s protective mechanisms and what triggers them
• Integration of emotional work and body work
• How developmental trauma affects vertical integration
• Dysregulation between the brain’s right and left hemisphere
• Effects of imbalances in the nervous system
• The SAID principle in relation to nervous system imbalance
• Creating safety to break the pattern of dysregulation
• Benefits of learning more about trauma and the brain
