    Social Anxiety: CPTSD Component

    Social Anxiety: CPTSD Component

    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!

    Surgery, Death, and Rebirth

    Surgery, Death, and Rebirth

    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. 

     

    Topics discussed in this episode:

     

    • Jennifer’s intention going into the second to last ceremony
    • The sadness from awareness
    • Jennifer’s “surgery” experience in the maloka
    • Total rebirth incoming

    Emotional Flashbacks: CPTSD Component

    Emotional Flashbacks: CPTSD Component

    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. 

     

    Tune in to learn how to get started!

    What is CPTSD?

    What is CPTSD?

    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.
