Relationship to the Body

Season 03, Episode 30

Our bodies are always speaking to us, but often we’re not able to understand or listen to what they’re trying to communicate.

In this episode, hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth unpack the complexities of our relationship to the body, including how our perceptions, emotions and beliefs about our bodies significantly impact our overall well-being. They dive deep into the impact the interoceptive system has on the nervous system, emotions and behaviors, especially in relation to disordered eating and body dysmorphia.

Jennifer and Elisabeth explore how past traumas shape our body image and inhibit our ability to express emotions safely through the body, sharing their own journeys from the cycle of maladaptive behaviors to loving acceptance.

Tune in to hear their insights into having a healthier, more compassionate relationship with your body!

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Exploring the relationship to the body
• How we develop our body image
• Interoceptive awareness and our ability to connect to the body
• The connection between trauma and the relationship to the body
• Understanding body dysmorphia and dissociation
• Sensory mismatch in relation to body dysmorphia
• The emotional aspect of the relationship to the body
• Building a healthier relationship to the body

As a human, you have most likely felt shame to some degree. Although it is a normal human protective emotion to keep us safe on a societal level, shame can become toxic when it persists and when we internalize the critical narrative from that shame.

Toxic shame shows up in many ways, however, the way it shows up physiologically is understood the least, but the most telling. From posture, dilated pupils, tense muscles, to inflammation in the body, headaches, and diseases, it is possible to visibly see shame on a person’s body. This is a result of the body protecting itself, and there is no shame in that. However once it becomes maladaptive, and absolute “I am” statements start becoming permanent fixtures in rumination, one’s perception of self shifts, which can eventually cause serious mental and physical health issues.

On today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer discuss how toxic shame differs from regular shame, how toxic shame shows up, what happens in the body when it does, where toxic shame originates from, how shame and pleasure shows up in those with a history of childhood sexual abuse, and what you can do to recognize and repattern toxic shame with Neuro-Somatic Coaching.

Just as toxic shame is developed, it can be undeveloped, by learning how to recognize when and how it shows up in the body, then repatterning the neural pathways in real time using NSI tools, and allowing repressed emotions to mobilize.

This episode is filled with knowledge and insight you don’t want to miss. Tune in for this and more!


Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• The difference between guilt and shame
• Difference between regular shame and toxic shame
• How toxic shame affects posture
• How shame is a protective response
• What is shame inflammation and its correlation to disease states?
• Why mobilizing the body is crucial to process emotions
• What is emotional attunement?
• Overcoupling of shame and pleasure in the case of childhood sexual abuse
• The types of body boundary violations
• What to do if you are having a toxic shame response?
• Why it’s important for practitioners to understand when a client is in a shame response
• Repattering shame in real time

We’re excited to be back for our third season of Trauma Rewired! In this short episode, Jennifer and Elisabeth give a quick overview of what you can expect from this new season that’s centered around attachment and relationships.

 

Last season focused on the individual nervous system, laying the groundwork for this season’s exploration of how our nervous systems exist together. This season breaks down issues of attachment in our development and relationships, as well as how the experiences within our communities, in society, and with each other affect our health. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of topics like codependency, narcissism, empathy, and misattunement.

 

Plus, several exciting guests will be appearing on the show to help us talk about the impact of the vagus nerve on our social connections, our theory that complex trauma is an attachment wound, and more.

 

Tune in and get ready to start exploring these concepts in our first episode on the Neurobiology of Relationships and Attachment!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Topics we’ll be covering in Season 3

• New and old guests we’ve invited on the show

• How we prepared and recovered for Season 3

Do you have trouble getting out of your head and into your body? Does your trauma affect your ability to make deep connections with others? For today’s guest, following a neurosomatic intelligence framework allowed her and her partner to build a stronger relationship, while learning more about themselves in the process.

 

Sharing her NSI experience with hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisbeth Kristoff is Dr. Jolie Hamilton, a relationship expert who now brings neurosomatic intelligence into her practice. They discuss how our nervous systems interact with each other, healing generational trauma, and the power of using NSI tools anytime, anywhere.

 

Our nervous systems have the power to comfort or dysregulate ourselves and others, but it’s important to remember that dysregulation is inevitable in any relationship. The key is to expand the capacity of our nervous system, and you can learn that from this interview.

 

If you have an insecure attachment style, want to try NSI tools with your partner or just want to understand the science of this topic, listen to this episode!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Dr. Jolie’s progress after connecting with NSI/somatics

• How Dr. Jolie’s clients use NSI tools to combat triggers

• Interacting with each other’s nervous systems

• Exploring NSI tools with a partner

• The cycle of trauma bonding

• Rewiring patterns and psychodynamic theory

• Healing generational trauma

• The collective unconscious

• Warring internal parts of ourselves

• Benefits of nervous system regulation

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

“How many experiences in love do we have to have (where we burn it down or blow it up) before we actually understand love is real, and we start to change our response to those people or those situations?” 

Emotions are necessary for our survival, telling us when to be scared or cautious for our own protection. Trauma causes us to view situations and people through the lens of our past experiences, making us hypervigilant and sensitive to any perceived threat of danger. This dysregulation of our emotions, and in turn our nervous system, undoubtedly has a profound effect on our health and relationships. 

The quote above comes directly from this episode of Trauma Rewired, in which host Jennifer is joined by Elisabeth Kristof of Brain-Based Wellness and Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro, both founders of the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching Certification Program. They explore the topic of emotions with a neuro somatic intelligence approach. 

You’ll learn how emotion is stored in the body, why emotional regulation is important for our body’s functioning, and how trauma affects our expression or suppression of emotions. Matt also shares new and exciting discoveries in the study of emotions. 

Tune in for an in-depth conversation on emotions, including the physiology and why they’re important for the healing process! 

Topics discussed in this episode: 

● Emotions and the limbic system 

● Why emotions are necessary for survival 

● Homeostasis and emotional regulation 

● Feelings vs. emotions

“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

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!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Anna gives an update on her health
• Negative and positive effects of her new medication
• Living in “permanent disease thought” with chronic pain
• Learning about her trauma with plant medicine
• Healing generational trauma and divine femine energy

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!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Definitions of emotional flashbacks and the neuro-somatic perspective
• Emotions and symptoms related to emotional flashbacks
• What can trigger an emotional flashback
• How the brain matches your internal state to the external world
• The inability to regulate emotions as a child affects how you respond to triggers
• Understanding your baseline level to recognize trauma responses
• Sympathetic and parasympathetic stress responses to a real or perceived threat
• How neurosomatic tools, or “neuro drills,” can help regulate the nervous system
• Elisabeth describes her years stuck in a dysregulated state and cycling through trauma responses
• Jennifer shared her journey from childhood trauma, being stuck in an emotional flashback state, and finally gaining self-awareness
• The importance of understanding your triggers and responses
• Pattern recognition triggers
• Neuro tags and how they activate an existing trauma response pattern
• Creating safety in the nervous system to build new patterns and behaviors
• Getting past a disorganized sense of self to become aware and express emotions
• Practice daily to make intentional changes to your nervous system
• Working with your emotional body to release big, repressed emotions
• Find practitioners that will give you a safe place to be vulnerable
• Having the life you want means working on your symptoms of CPTSD
• Elisabeth shares the story of a client who gave up dating because of their overwhelming emotional response to breakups
• Emotions affect the whole body, from hormones to brain function
• Work through feelings of guilt and shame to improve your responses to triggers
• Don’t rely on the cognitive mind to make change
• The 5 components of CPTSD
• Experiencing self-sabotaging behaviors from trying to change your nervous system

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.

Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• What is a somatic experiencing?
• Difference between acute and complex trauma
• The foundational gap in somatic work
• What we mean when we say movement
• What homeostasis are we coming back to?
• The idea of shock absorption as a buffer
• Common misconception among the trauma therapeutic community
• Importance of dosing and how to re-establish safety after a somatic experience
• What do you do when the neurodrills don’t work
• How changing movement can change the biochemistry in the body
• 3 benefits of discovering full mobility of the body
• The importance of integrating daily rewiring of the nervous system
• Myth that nervous system responses are a personality trait
• What is proprioceptive training
• Integrating new responses to triggers
• The next step for people who have been doing somatic work
• Information on Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification
