"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.
