- What is NEURODIVERGENT? And More Terms Explained! (Bonus Episode)
Did you know? This is an interim bonus episode in which I bring some non-expert, but studied and researched clarification to many terms used in the mental health realm. Let's break down terminology and understand differences between such things as neurological and psychiatric conditions, genetics and epigenetics, neuroplasticity, neurodiverse vs neurodivergent, mindfulness vs awareness, natural vs holistic, types of trauma and more. There will be some myth-busting, dot-connecting, and good ol' referencing! I hope you find this useful! If there is something you would like a better understanding or explanation of that I don't mention, please let me know! I'd be happy to do another episode like this!

Oh my gosh! This episode is my jam! It was tough keeping the convo short, so in this will be so much helpful information! Pause and come back if you need to, there's a lot to digest!
Regulating the nervous system is a hot topic right now amongst the mental health community. Also, trauma is not just an obvious major one-time or series of events. Many of us have apparent, buried or hidden traumas that cause limitations in our life which in turn causes us to react without reason at times. Linda White and Andrei Knight join me in laying out the importance of neural rewiring, or neural reprogramming by connecting somatic and cognitive "resetting" in order to retrain your body-brain to disengage the trauma response. *This episode may contain sensitive content for some)* Helpful resources and scientific sources can be found at: https://linktr.ee/healingwithsway.
