Our Relationship to Society Impacts Our Relationship To Self

Trauma Rewired has talked a lot about threat, including its neurobiology, what happens in the body when we don’t feel safe, and how a history of trauma affects what we perceive as a threat.

In this episode with Victor Jones, a resilience educator and neurosomatic intelligence coach, we dive deeper into threat, focusing on our relationship with others and society as a whole, as well as how trauma impacts our ability to regulate our nervous system. For example, connection is a survival need but feelings of vulnerability and intimacy can be threatening to the nervous system of those with a history of trauma. This inability to connect not only affects the health of an individual, but also the bond and trust within society.

The good news is that neurosomatic intelligence is a powerful tool that can help you settle your nervous system, allow you to connect, and live a life in line with your ethics. As we cover topics like stacked trauma and co-regulation, Victor and hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth all share their personal journeys to feeling safe in their body, and regulating their nervous system when they experience threat — something that’s nearly impossible to avoid in our dysregulating world.

Victor advocates for everyone to learn the language of the nervous system, teaching NSI tools to help people in his community in the hopes of driving more compassion in our world.

If you want to get out of survival mode and start helping others around you too, tune in now!

Relationships to Cultural Beliefs

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
