"What can I do to shift my nervous system, so that these critical thoughts aren't there all the time?"

In this episode, which is a follow-on from episode 43, I explore the mind-body connection when it comes to trauma. We chat about coming back into the body, what role the mind also plays, why our thoughts are still important alongside our feelings.

I explain what happens, not just in the body on the somatic level, but also the types of thoughts we have when we are in a hijacked trauma response such as the fight/flight and freeze response.

We chatted about:

- Tracking your nervous system

- Knowing your capacity

- Creating space for the body and the mind

- Our trauma responses in the body

- The fight/flight and freeze response

- The importance of having options and choices

- Brain fog and confusion

- Isolation

- The symptoms of the freeze response

- Polyvagal theory

- The emotional experience of the different trauma responses

- The inner critic

- Regulating resources I use to support a trauma response
