Trauma Rewired

It's no secret that wellness programs like neurosomatic intelligence coaching often lack accessibility in marginalized communities, where populations most in need of such services are usually underserved and underprivileged. Unfortunately, these programs are often not tailored to meet the specific needs of these communities. Hence, there's a pressing need to rethink our approach and become more innovative in how we deliver them.

Today, we're joined by Martin Simms, one of our NSI coaches, who has exemplified this innovative approach. Martin has pioneered a sports-based youth development program called D.O.P.E., which utilizes sports and movement to support youth and adolescents in underserved communities, helping them overcome trauma and fostering life skills they might otherwise lack access to.

In this episode, Martin shares his personal journey with neurosomatic intelligence coaching, detailing how it transformed his life. He discusses overcoming his own dissociative behaviors and the profound impact it had on his relationships, both with his wife and in raising his son. Additionally, Martin delves into the creative and effective methods employed in his program, illustrating how they've positively impacted lives within his community.

Tune in to discover how Martin is actively bridging the wellness gap between communities and much more!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• ● How dissociation showed up in Martin's life

• ● Creative reflexive responses through neurowork

• ● Understanding the worldview of today's youth

• ● How sports is the ultimate neurosomatic intelligence experience

• ● How cultural relatability with coaches is crucial to create safe healing spaces

• ● Leveraging emotional contagion in sports to teach neurosomatic intelligence

• ● The power in creating language around emotion

• ● How authenticity attracts aligned people and experiences

This week on Trauma Rewired, hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth welcome back Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro to explore the physiology of stress and the transformative power of neurosomatic intelligence.

We know that connection is crucial to our survival as humans, but for those with complex trauma, even the healthiest relationships can trigger a stress response and lead to maladaptive behaviors. This episode provides a comprehensive look at how stress impacts our relationships and physical health, and highlights the importance of consistent nervous system training to rewire the brain's response to stress and build resilience.

The conversion starts by examining what happens in the brain when a stress response is activated, and how developmental trauma shapes our nervous system and subconscious reactions as adults. Matt breaks down complex neurological processes, covering the role of the HPA axis, immune dysregulation and increased inflammation. Jennifer also introduces a new concept, called "shameflammation," as they delve into the connection between chronic stress and disease in the body.

Listen to this episode to learn more about stress response in relationships and how you can retrain it through NSI!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Understanding the HPA axis and stress response
• How developmental trauma shapes our stress response
• General adaptation response and the impact of stress on the body
• Shame and the inflammatory response
• The neurological response to stress
• The connection between social threat, inflammation and stress response
• Neurosomatic intelligence as a tool for change
