#nervoussystem

Following our episode on embodiment, we’re diving into the topics of parts of self, sex and pleasure because without presence, we are cheating ourselves out of healthy relationships and empowered sexual experiences.

Hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth have brought back Dr. Joli Hamilton, relationship coach and sex educator, to help them further examine how the relationship with our parts of self impact the way we behave towards ourselves and others.

 

A disconnection between our parts of self causes dysregulation, a lack of safety and intimacy in relationships, and even projection. But in this episode, you’ll learn how to have conversations with your parts of self, how to take ownership of your orgasm, and how NSI practices can help you heal.

 

We also discuss the concept of multiplicity, how trauma affects our ability to connect with our parts, and if dissociation during sex and sexual fawning changes the rules of consent. Plus, can a cervical orgasm stimulate the vagus nerve?

 

Listen in as we share the NSI tools that have helped us regulate our nervous system and connect with our body!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Honoring your parts of self by giving them a voice

• Projection of our disintegrated parts onto others

• What we’ve gained from using NSI tools

• Exploring pleasure and improving intimacy

• The connection between nervous system regulation and orgasm

• Dissociation during sex, sexual fawning and consent

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

Believe it or not, the brain and nervous system process social threat and physical threat the same way, making them equally as harmful to our health. That means that the cultural beliefs that shape our society are causing real trauma and dysregulating our nervous systems.

 

Today, Jennifer and Elisabeth are talking to Christy Chung, a certified NSI practitioner, advocate and healer, on this episode centered around culture, community, and the nervous system. They discuss how social stressors (such as gender, sexual orientation, race, socioeconomic status, etc.) can cause unsafe relationships with people and society, and the NSI tools that have helped Christy in her racial equity work, as well as on a personal level as a queer, Asian woman.

 

Christy also sheds light on the impact that long-term social threat, especially racism, has on the health of those affected. Plus,you’ll  learn a few interesting facts you might not know — like how culture has shaped our anatomy and biased our brains!

 

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to find out how they can not only support their own nervous system and stay healthy, but change the harmful system of our society. Tune in now!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Christy’s businesses and activist work

• Unsafe relationships with people, society, and culture

• Dealing with conflict and repair work with NSI

• The relationship between social stress and attachment

• Minority stress theory and social safety theory

• The impact of chronic stress on the body from an NSI perspective

• Examples of how culture shapes brain function

• How Christy uses NSI tools in her work and personal life

• Making an impact and sacred responsibility

Why can it be so hard to feel and express emotions? What happens physiologically in the brain and nervous system when anger is stuffed down? Is emotional expression necessary for our physical health? Have these topics been studied, or can we only go off our own experiences?

 

Hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff, and Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro are answering all these questions and more. They break down the ways people with childhood trauma develop repressive behaviors, why emotional expression is crucial for our overall health, and the consequences of emotional repression in the nervous system.

 

Since repression is a subconscious defense mechanism, it affects our behavior and belief patterns, and changes our perception without us even realizing it. This makes it incredibly hard to change, but after listening to this episode, you’ll better understand how emotional repression impacts the different systems in the body and the power of nervous system regulation.

 

Tune in to learn how this knowledge can help you or your practice as a healer!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Why emotional expression is important for our health

• How childhood trauma affects our capacity to feel and express emotion

• Emotional repression and abandonment

• Responses of suppression vs. repression

• Consequences to the nervous system

• Damage to the interoceptive system

• Finding a safe space to work through emotions

• Anger as a communication tool and expression

• Effects on the immune system

• The use of plant medicine and epigenetics

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 thepresence 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 whawe 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 andhow 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.

Topics discussed in this episode:

● What happens in your body when in fight response
● How fight response is automatic without cognitive awareness
● Benefits of creating a new relationship with fight response
● Four ways people respond to anger
● How feelings of unsafety in yourself can make others feel unsafe
● How trauma responses can be misidentified as a personality trait
● Reparenting yourself during a trauma response
● How to move anger through the body
● What happens to your body when you express emotion
● The truth about how dysregulation does not stop

Food is integral to our survival and health, but it’s common for those with trauma to exhibit disordered eating, whether that be a history of dieting, bingeing, or fasting. These behaviors are truly a reflection of our dysregulated nervous system, and only once we start to heal it can we find food freedom.

 

During this episode, we’re talking about the health of our relationships with food and our body, and how nervous system regulation is a path to trauma healing. Jennifer and Elisbeth share their personal experience with distorted eating, and how they achieved food freedom.

 

We also explore the topics of diet culture, intuitive eating, the “good woman narrative,” and how food drives components of complex post-traumatic stress disorder, such as inner critic and perfectionism.

 

Tune in to learn more, and get guidance on establishing a healthier relationship with food!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Food as an output of the nervous system

• How eating behaviors affect the interoceptive system

• Effects of our traumatizing diet culture

• Food numbing emotions

• Additional pressures on women

• Experiencing the pleasure of food

• What distorts our perspective on our body

• Scarcity mindset

• Resources to start healing

If you’ve followed this podcast for even just a few episodes, you’ve heard about complex PTSD, the effects of trauma on the developmental brain, and how maladaptive behaviors form. Most importantly, you’ve learned that long-lasting change requires integration, a process supported by applied neurology.

 

Today, find out what applied neurology is and why it’s crucial to healing trauma from Trauma Rewired hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness. You’ll learn about the nervous system, the effects of trauma on our input systems, and how all the systems in our body work together to keep us safe — even when it has a negative impact on our health.

 

Elisabeth and Jennifer also explain how neurosomatic intelligence tools are a true and practical way to change our brain’s patterns. Addressing any trauma-caused deficits in your input system with nervous system training works for them and their clients, and it can work for you too.

 

Listen in to start understanding what’s going on in your body, and get yourself one step closer to healing your traumas!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Defining applied neurology and why it’s important
• Neurosomatic intelligence as an input driven system
• Performance vs. protective outputs
• The brain’s role in our survival and deficits in our input systems

“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

We briefly talked about the death cycle of winter and rebirth in the “Trauma & the Holidays” episode, but today, Trauma Rewired is addressing how trauma inhibits our ability to rest — which is a crucial element to healing and changing maladaptive behaviors.

 

Hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness discuss the consequences of poor rest, including derailing the brain’s functioning. Similar to when you’re fatigued and at your full capacity, constantly running on high alert can make us more susceptible to triggers and result in stress responses.

 

Most of us already know that sleep is necessary for our overall health and wellbeing, but letting the mind and body truly rest is also crucial to healing. Memory integration and nervous system regulation are infinitely harder to achieve when we don’t leave time for rest and recovery.

 

Tune in to learn why slowing down is sometimes hard to do, and how to support yourself in the process!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• How trauma affects our internal states
• Why rest is crucial to our health, but can also feel threatening
• Actions Elisabeth is taking to change her behaviors and let herself rest
• Reasons it’s difficult to rest and recover, and its effects
• The loop of trauma and inability to rest
• Trauma and Stress responses
• Experiences with insomnia
• Is rest a privilege?
• Rest vs. freeze/shut down
• The role of rest in the healing process

It’s a common tradition to make resolutions in the New Year, most often relating to our bodies and our habits. New Year’s resolutions usually have an end goal of making us better people, but there’s a reason many people fail to make long-term changes.

 

During today’s episode on core beliefs and resolutions, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness explain why it’s not so easy for us to make these grand, albeit positive, changes. They discuss the unrealistic expectations we put on ourselves, as well as the neurology of core beliefs, including how these beliefs drive the behaviors we’re trying to change.

 

You’ll learn why the human body finds change threatening, how you can create safety in change, and what more is needed in order to prepare yourself for change. Real examples will help you discover how to then integrate these changes into daily practice.

 

To help you get started, this episode ends with a visualization practice to add to your toolkit!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Unrealistic expectations post-holiday season
• What prevents us from changing our bad behaviors
• NSI perspective of core beliefs
• How core beliefs affect our filtration system
• What can happen when you’re not ready to make a big change
• Minimum effective dose and using neuro tools
• The layered approach to making real, lasting change
• Elisabeth and Jennifer give examples of their own belief work
• A future visioning exercise

“I think a lot of people try to move into manifestation and belief work, and can end up being really frustrated and down on themselves. It can be hard when you don't also have the tools to work with your nervous system.”

 

In this second part of the Trauma Rewired belief series, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness are joined by Angella Jaber, an NSI practitioner who’s helping clients attune to their future self energy and create lasting change. During today’s discussion on the nervous system, they’ll explain the complex ways our past traumas keep us in a state of dysregulation, and why self-acceptance is key to truly healing.

 

Angella also shares her story of listening to her inner voice to live her authentic life, and bridging the work of nervous system healing and spirituality. You’ll also hear how applied neurology and NSI tools have helped them find self-awareness and work through the trauma responses, or protective outputs, not serving them.

 

As Elisabeth states above, our growth is limited when we don’t understand the way our nervous system operates. Tune in to start learning!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Angella’s journey to following her inner guidance
• Combining NSI training with future self energy
• Creating and preparing for permanent change
• How she guides clients in future self attunement
• Benefits resulting from integrating NSI tools
• Shadow work and self-acceptance
• Gaining freedom through self-regulation

• Angella’s process for shifting vibrations and manifestation

• Using neuro tools to reach a new level of connection to yourself

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

“In order to have a thriving world, a thriving ecosystem that works in harmony, we need variance… And yet because we are so far away from our own sense of inherent knowing of our enoughness, we’ve constructed a world where that’s not true for our bodies.”

 

This quote from author Sonya Renee Taylor perfectly puts the discussion on this episode of Trauma Rewired into context. Joining host Jennifer Wallace to share their perspectives on how systems of oppression live in the body are founders of Neuro Somatic Intelligence, Elisabeth Kristof and Melanie Weller, as well as Victor Jones, a neurosomatic practitioner.

 

Societal, racial, institutional, and ancestral oppression are just a few of these systems that lead to chronic stress and negative consequences for our health. We live in a world with oppressive systems like racism and unrealistic body standards, which festers a sense of unsafety, and results in a dysregulated nervous system, making it difficult to find connection and community. But there are ways we can overcome these inherited and learned responses!

 

To start the process of dismantling these oppressive systems and getting to a place of safety and healing, tune in to learn more!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• The body hierarchy and how oppression lives inside the body/nervous system
• How these systems of oppression affects us and how to challenge them
• Melanie’s view on the effect of patriarchy and oppression on the body
• Our bodies as ancestral artifacts
• Victor on how NSI can help dismantle these systems
• Finding compassion and connection
• How the vagus nerve is impacted by oppression
• Societal oppression in regards to fat phobia
• Victor’s experienced conditioning around racism
• Why regulation tools are so important
• Mental illness stigma as oppression
• Deep survival responses and regulating the nervous system
• Benefits Elisabeth has seen from working with her nervous system

Our society rewards those who work hard, appear to never make mistakes, and seem to have everything under control. We’ve collectively decided on what perfect looks like and attributed perfectionism with the ideal person.

What if we told you that perfectionism is actually a protective measure used to prevent oneself from feelings of rejection, abandonment, and worthlessness? These words don’t quite scream “perfect” do they?

 

Trauma Rewired hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth have touched upon this trauma response before, but today’s episode is a deep dive into how it can develop and lead to harmful avoidance behaviors. They deconstruct perfectionism, including defining the three types of perfectionism and how it interplays with CPTSD elements like the inner critic.

 

You’ll learn the many health consequences that the chronic stress of perfectionism can cause, and how to distinguish excellence from perfectionism. Jennifer and Elisabeth also share their experience with perfectionism, and how it can push us into burnout or freeze states.

 

Perfectionism is not an attainable goal, which makes it debilitating and a hindrance to healing trauma. To take the first step towards moving out of perfectionism, tune in!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Defining the 3 types of perfectionism
• Perfectionism as a trauma response
• Jennifer’s example of setting yourself up for failure
• The effects of perfectionism on our health
• Maladaptive coping mechanisms for perfectionism
• How to recognize perfectionist behaviors and thinking
• Jennifer on taking action against her perfectionism
• Trauma healing, neurosomatic intelligence, and integration
• Limiting beliefs push the loop of perfectionism
• Elisabeth on the importance on self-regulation tools in her life
• How perfectionism negatively affects organizations and employees
• Steps Elisabeth has taken to heal her perfectionism and workaholism
