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.
A dysregulated nervous system resulting from trauma leads to emotional and physical pain, but how do you heal yourself from trauma, while also fighting for your physical health? Tune in to hear how both plant medicine and Western treatments can work together to heal the different facets of your health.
It’s been two years since Anna Gieselman was on the podcast to speak about her lupus journey, an autoimmune disease, but she’s back today to update us! In this episode, she shares the lows and highs of getting to a better place with her health, including making the decision to use Western medicine and becoming healed energetically and psychically with plant medicine.
Jennifer and Anna go over pivotal moments of their ayahuasca trip, such as experiencing a dark energy, healing generational trauma, and the divine feminine. Listen to their conversation about overall wellness for all this and more!

It’s the fourth and final day of Jennifer's ayahuasca retreat and, in this short and sweet episode, she shares why she bridges neurosomatic intelligence with psychedelic integration.
By training and reprogramming your nervous system, you will discover that anything is possible. You already embody the capacity for change. Add a powerhouse plant medicine like ayahuasca, which only increases that capacity, and there is the potential for infinite transformation.
Jennifer believes that neurosomatic intelligence not only allows for more presence, awareness, clarity, and focus in your day-to-day life, but also prepares you for psychedelic integration by creating a greater sense of safety in the body.
Tuning in, you’ll hear Jennifer’s account of her closing ceremony, some of the profound and painful realizations that came from tapping into her womb space, and why she was so grateful for the support of a neurosomatic intelligence coach throughout this experience.

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!

This account of Jennifer’s second to last ceremony is arguably the most profound, in that it highlighted the complete integration and release of the previous ceremonies, and there is hope.
In today’s short episode, you will hear Jennifer so eloquently narrate the journey through “jaw surgery” in the maloka, and her resurrection from the experience. The clarity, bliss, and awareness, created a new foundation for the rest of her life that transpires into her life’s work today.
Coming out on the other side of the death of who Jennifer once was, created the offerings she presents you with today. From a deep excavation, she has learned the route to deep healing in a way that only personal experience can provide, and she shares these lessons with you now.
Tune in to hear more of what Jennifer experienced in ceremony and the importance of deep, somatic integration.

In the first short episode detailing Jennifer’s ayahuasca experience, she shared her intentions for healing. In this next installment, you’ll hear her firsthand account of how she, with help from two shamans, was able to retrieve her soul and restore a feeling of safety.
After drinking the ayahuasca tea and being enveloped in the impassioned sounds of Maestros Maricella and Francisco singing icaros, Jennifer was able to find parts of her that were lost through her life’s trauma.
Jennifer describes being back in the maloka for a second night, once again feeling connected to the universe through vibrant visions of herself and nature. The magic of the ayahuasca medicine, combined with the progress made on the first night, allowed her to process deeper emotions and finally reach a place of self-love.
Hear all about her transformative experience and process to integration in today’s episode!

In this short episode, Jennifer recounts her powerful healing experience at an ayahuasca retreat on the beaches of Costa Rica. Contrary to Western medicine, ayahuasca treatment focuses on the energetic body to open a pathway to healing.
Containing the potent psychoactive DMT, this psychedelic is brewed with tea and drank to induce altered states of consciousness. Ayahuasca can bring undiscovered truths to the surface, and help you revisit memories that shaped you at a young age - and this is exactly what our host experienced.
After learning about plant medicine and listening to others experiences with ayahuasca, Jennifer decided it was her turn to give it a try. Healing requires support, and on this retreat she had the help of two healers to guide her through the use of icaros, or magical songs.
She was able to confront her past, gain insight into her life, and most importantly, release feelings she had been holding on to for decades. Jennifer was able to do all of this in a positive way, not reliving her pain but visiting it with a different point of view.

Emotional Flashbacks: CPTSD Element
Season 02, Episode 21
The nervous system is our body’s control center, telling us when to move, think, and breathe. Disorders like CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder), put our bodies in a state of dysregulation that can have profound effects on how we feel and react.
Human emotions are a full system experience, affecting the entire body by way of hormones, sympathetic and parasympathetic stress responses. Big emotions can be overwhelming for those with CPTSD, initiating a maladaptive survival response.
In today’s episode, Elisabeth Kristof is on the show to discuss one element of this new diagnosis: emotional flashbacks. There are some misconceptions around this term, but understanding it is an important step to living a better life without the burden of trauma.
Emotional flashbacks are not regression, but rather a real-time response often created in childhood. Our brains perceive the world through the filter of our experience, so those with trauma will respond to triggers with the neurological patterns they developed as children.
Elisabeth spent years stuck in an emotional flashback state, and only saw true change through working with her emotional body to regulate her nervous system. The cognitive mind cannot overpower emotional flashbacks, so you must create your own toolkit through self-awareness.
Relieving the trauma is not necessary, but it is imperative to express your feelings in order to move on to the next step in your healing journey.

Interested in getting more insight about the mind-body experience? Check out Elisabeth’s book pick, Molecules of Emotion by Candace Pert.
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.

Mental Health Crisis, Trauma, Psychedelics .... big words during these times. Plant medicicne is not a quick fix and the lack of support on the backend during integration is staggering. I know because I've been to the best centers and even theyre trying to figure it out. There are people who understand integration but they aren't often trained in nervous system regulation and healing.
Join me as I share with you the importance of bridging the two worlds of Psychedelic Integration & Neurosomatic Intelligence. It's within the nervous ssytem that anything you want is possible. Thanks to your already existing neural plasticity you always have the capactiy for change and then you add a powerhouse plant medicine that increases that capacity and potentially catapault you into any direction.
Maybe the change you desire feels scary, perhaps you unlocked a deeply buried scary trauma, how about that hard conversation, or intentioanlly blowing your world up to leave the mundane 9-5 and live a life of purpose.
Everyone's path is very different based on what comes through, where our attention and intention lies, and what we are healing or processing. Remember change is threatening to your brain so learn your unique nervous system and create the life you desire. I can help you. Nothing about your journey is going to dysregualte me, I can hold space for you, and keep your nervous system safe.
Behavior change is my jam and so are sacred spaces. If this conversation inspired you and you want support then please follow the link below. It's really so easy to book a free call.

If you are familiar with trauma therapy, you know that somatic work is currently very popular among practitioners and clients.
Somatic work is so powerful in processing and working through trauma that has been stored in the nervous system for years, steering our lives in ways that we have not been conscious of until we do something like somatic work.
However, what this work isn’t is a one stop shop cure to a dysregulated nervous system. Now that you have brought all the trauma to the surface to be released, it takes daily practice to allow for your nervous system to shed the years of built up trauma and integrate the new wiring in your day to day life.
This takes extra work and practice that requires a multitude of tools. So that is why on today’s episode, we want to touch on a missing piece of somatic experiencing, which is, what do you do once you have had the somatic experience? What happens after?
After conjuring up that trauma, there has to be a system in place to integrate the healing into your life, and that’s what we want to help you uncover today. As well as, what happens once the nervous system is regulated on a daily basis and what that could look like for you.
There is a ton of information covered in this podcast that can help you understand how to heal the nervous system, as well as help create trauma informed safe spaces and tools for integration for your clients.

It is our brain’s job to protect us against danger. Whether that is a real or perceived threat, the brain will activate and will result in an action, or inaction. This isn’t the most effective way to be protected for people who have experienced trauma, because that trauma is stored so deep in our subconscious, that the threat response can activate in the absence of a real threat but in the presence of a trigger.
There is no way to avoid having your trauma retriggered and your nervous system regulated at all times. These are lived experiences that have sown their way into our nervous systems, but we can implement tools to regulate in the face of a response that may be harmful to others or yourself.
Specifically the fight trauma response. This can be one of the most damaging to our relationships and our bodies. Creating chaos in moments of intimacy with others, or chaos within our bodies, can lead to living an unfulfilling life. There is a way out of this, and that is what we want to talk about on today’s episode.
Jennifer and Elisabeth sit down to speak about fight response and how it manifested in their lives. As well as tools you can use to help yourself move the anger through your body. They worked with their nervous system and learned how to identify when they were in fight mode and how to regulate it in that moment. They now want to share this knowledge with you.
Tune in to hear their stories and how you can start your journey to a regulated nervous system.
