It is our brain’s job to protect us against danger. Whether that is a real or perceived threat, the brain will activate and will result in an action, or inaction. This isn’t the most effective way to be protected for people who have experienced trauma, because that trauma is stored so deep in our subconscious, that the threat response can activate in the absence of a real threat but in the presence of a trigger. 

There is no way to avoid having your trauma retriggered and your nervous system regulated at all times. These are lived experiences that have sown their way into our nervous systems, but we can implement tools to regulate in the face of a response that may be harmful to others or yourself.

Specifically the fight trauma response. This can be one of the most damaging to our relationships and our bodies. Creating chaos in moments of intimacy with others, or chaos within our bodies, can lead to living an unfulfilling life. There is a way out of this, and that is what we want to talk about on today’s episode.

Jennifer and Elisabeth sit down to speak about fight response and how it manifested in their lives. As well as tools you can use to help yourself move the anger through your body. They worked with their nervous system and learned how to identify when they were in fight mode and how to regulate it in that moment. They now want to share this knowledge with you. 

Tune in to hear their stories and how you can start your journey to a regulated nervous system.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• What happens in your body when in fight response
• How fight response is automatic without cognitive awareness
• Benefits of creating a new relationship with fight response
• Four ways people respond to anger
• How feelings of unsafety in yourself can make others feel unsafe
• How trauma responses can be misidentified as a personality trait
• Reparenting yourself during a trauma response
• How to move anger through the body
• What happens to your body when you express emotion
• The truth about how dysregulation does not stop

Society paints addiction as an individual character flaw, pointing the blame solely on the person who is experiencing the addiction. However, addiction is much more nuanced than that. Especially since we live in a highly dysregulated world, addiction should be expected. Trying to function in society while needing to dissociate has become a part of our collective culture. Since our nervous systems are on overdrive with the amount of sensory overload that is thrown our way, coupled with unresolved personal and collective trauma, finding ways to regulate the nervous system can become a means for survival. So, in that sentiment, addiction is far more than an individual character flaw, it's a systemic issue, which should be part of the conversation.

In today’s episode, co-host Elisabeth Kristoff gives her personal account of dealing with addiction and mental health issues, and how Applied Neurology helped in her healing journey. Elisabeth goes over how addiction played out in her life as well as what happens to the nervous system and brain at a neurological level when dealing with addiction. Although alcohol helps to depress the nervous system, the trauma that is being dampened in that moment still lives in the body and needs a way out. After many hospital visits, Elisabeth is now in sobriety and able to tell her story to help others who are in the same place as she used to be to heal from their trauma and addiction.

Tune in for a vulnerable conversation about what addiction really means on a personal and neurological level as well as tools that could help in coming out of addiction and into sobriety.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• What is addiction really
• The protective nature of addiction
• Why we get stuck in addictive behaviors
• Difference between dependence and addiction
• Elisabeth’s addiction journey
• The connection between alcohol and food addiction
• The neurology of addiction
• Addiction as a spectrum
• The areas of the brain that are driving addictive behaviors
• What is the celiac plexus and its role in addiction
• How we live in a dysregulated society
• How Applied Neurology and somatics helped
• How socioeconomic status and race play a role in addiction
• Addiction as a nervous system blanket

Neurosomatic Intelligence: Part 1 

Season 02, Episode 08

“Neuroplasticity is the science of hope” - Matt Bush’s wife has coined this saying and we cannot agree with it more! What a beautiful thought is that you are not stuck where you are and you have the power and ability to change your reality. The ability to change and adapt to interpret incoming signals accurately from any level of trauma. Mindset is important when moving out of trauma, however a mindset change alone does not cover the depth of healing needed to change learned, innate, behaviors that have developed over time. 

The next layer of healing comes from the nervous system, which is arguably the basis of all healing. It determines how we interpret the world, analyzes and stores input while creating outputs. When we experience trauma, the inputs and outputs become distorted and can result in unfavorable mental and physical manifestations. Our inner and outer worlds are altered drastically to the point where the distortion becomes our reality and healing from a dysregulated nervous system seems impossible. However, healing IS possible, and we want to share how!

In this episode, hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain Based Wellness, and Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro, discuss how Applied Neurology is the missing piece to healing trauma. Having gone through trauma and healing themselves, they share the importance of gaining awareness of the nervous systems and using that awareness to heal to create positive outputs, aka better behaviors, to live a life that is not controlled by past, stored, trauma, but by your authentic self. 

Understanding how to reprogram the brain and nervous system to steer your body out of survival mode and into life is exactly what Applied Neurology is all about, and can be the missing piece of the puzzle you have been looking for in your healing journey.

Tune in to hear a unique take on mental health, and how you can share the gift of healing by becoming a certified Applied Neurologist!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• The process of gaining awareness of the nervous system
• What happens to your mind and body when you are in survival mode
• How trauma gets stored in the nervous system at a young age
• The sensitivity of the dysregulated sympathetic nervous system
• When mindset tools stop being effective
• Importance of nervous system regulation for healers and practitioners 
• The adaptation spectrum
• What is neuroplasticity
• How traumatic behavior is actually an interpretation problem
• How repressed emotions manifest physically
• The beauty of healing your nervous system

Flight: A Trauma Response 

Season 02, Episode 07

Arriving early, leaving late, overthinking, can’t sit still, breathing quickly, and always keeping busy, are just a few examples of how the flight trauma response can manifest in our lives. This response is biologically built in to keep us safe from harm, but what if that harm is perceived and doesn’t require fleeing the scene? This can be detrimental to our personal and professional lives and keep us in a state of high alert with stress hormones coursing through our bodies that can be quite harmful. In order to combat this trauma response, the nervous system must be regulated, but it is difficult to do that when we can’t pinpoint whether the response is flight or what the trigger is. The first step is to understand the response, and come back to the body to understand the sensations that come with it. This is where applied neurology has proven beneficial to create a safe container for nervous system regulation to allow those of us with this response to come out on the other side with the tools and ability to self regulate. Regulate so we can have that hard conversation without leaving half way through or to be able to finally relax and dig our feet in the sand while soaking up the sun.

In this episode, hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain Based Wellness share their personal experiences with flight response and how it affected their lives when they didn’t have the tools to regulate. 

Tune in for information about tools on how to recognize and regulate the flight trauma response sensations to be able to live a full and expansive life!

“Living a life of growth and expansion is as simple as living in your nervous system.” - Jennifer Wallace

Topics discussed in this episode:

• What is a flight trauma response
• What you can do to develop an awareness of this response and how to regulate it
• What role does respiration play
• Behaviors associated with flight response
• Jennifer and Elisabeth’s personal experiences with flight 
• The physiological response that happens during flight response
• How applied neurology can help regulate the nervous system
• How breathwork during flight may not be right for you
• Best tools to get out of flight response
• How to deal with triggers in relationships

Trauma Rewired: The Science of Applied Neurology

Season 02, Episode 05

The same tools you use to rehabilitate your knee can also be applied to decreasing anxiety. Our bodies are incredibly intelligent machines wired to keep us alive and thriving, but what if that same wiring that is there to protect us, works against us in ways we aren’t aware of? In the same breath, what if that same knowledge is the key to, not only our healing, but our acceleration as physical and intelligent beings. This is what our guest on today’s episode is here to discuss:

Internationally recognized teacher of Applied Neurology, co-founder of Next Level Neuro, and part creator of Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching, Matt Bush is joining us on today’s podcast to discuss his techniques used in Applied Neurology to heal the mind and body for optimal performance.

Matt’s innovative approach to healing has proven successful in treating issues such as scoliosis, chronic pain, long COVID, and anxiety, by focusing on the nervous system, specifically vision, as treatment. Matt’s methods are based heavily in science, however require little to no equipment. He puts his trust in the body’s intelligence in healing itself through simple exercises that could ultimately be life changing for many.

It’s time to move out of survival mode and create an above average life, because average does not have to be the baseline, excelling above is the goal and that’s what applied neurology teaches us. 

Listen in for a fresh take on healing and information on how you could also become a Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Client and personal stories about Applied Neurology
• What is Applied Neurology - simply put
• Why is it important to train the nervous system
• What do nervous system deficits look like
• Monovision explained
• Where 2020 vision came from
