Holistic Trauma Healing with Lindsey Lockett

Episode 97: Nurture as Trauma Prevention with Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum


Listen Later

In this episode with neuroscientist, author, momma, and doula Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum, we...

  • discuss nurture and the science of how nurture actually has the capability to prevent trauma
  • talk about how the infant brain is wired and how both nature and nurture play crucial roles; it's not one or the other
  • tenderly explore parenting regret, mom guilt, and "I didn't know what I didn't know" when it comes to raising children
  • discuss why quality of nurturing is more important than quantity of nurturing
  • share why trauma prevention is where our focus must be as the collective mental health crisis gets worse
  • discuss the worsening mental health crisis even in the face of people getting more therapy and having more awareness of their trauma and nervous systems
  • talk about the high level of support all parents need to nurture their babies
  • explore how systems of capitalism and patriarchy condition us to pathologize our children's normal human emotions and needs
  • shift the conversation from "what's wrong with my baby and me?" to "what about my child's environment needs to change so they are set up for a gentler, more regulated adolescence and adulthood?"

    • NEW WORKSHOP!

      Join me on 6/14 for UN-TRIGGERED: a workshop to explore, face, and overcome triggers and emotional flashbacks through the lens of the limbic brain and the autonomic nervous system

      In UN-TRIGGERED, you will learn...

      • how to be aware of when we’re triggered
      • what’s going on in our limbic systems (survival brain) when we’re triggered
      • why your brain and nervous system don’t know that what triggers you is actually in the past, and you’re just reacting in the present moment
      • all 4 trauma responses, their unconscious reactions, and how to make conscious choices when you meet those trauma responses with awareness
      • why literally anything has the potential to be a trigger
      • changing how we relate to our sensations and to our bodies, whether you lean more toward “hypoaroused” or “hyperaroused”
      • primary and secondary nervous system states
      • the differences between healthy nervous system responses and dysregulated responses
      • how our triggers can lead us into deeper self-love, self-trust, and consciousness if we allow them to
      • the difference between being dysregulated and being triggered
      • what I personally believe about trigger warnings on social media
      •  

        In his book The Body Keeps the Score, Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk writes, “The bottom line is that the threat-perception system of the brain has changed, and people’s physical reactions are dictated by the imprint of the past.”

        In UN-TRIGGERED, I will hold you in a safe and loving container to explore your own reactions that are dictated by the past. Join UN-TRIGGERED for $77.
