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!

• Misconceptions about dissociation

• The definition of dissociation and its symptoms

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!
