Trauma Rewired

Have you been putting off sending that important email or having a difficult conversation? Thesecould be signs of freeze trauma response. Not taking action and procrastinating seems likeinnocent occurrences, because we all do it right? However, these can be seriously damaging to our lives and nervous systems.

The prolonged trauma that lives in our bodies that doesn't have a chance to move through us can wreak havoc in not only our lives but in our bodies. We have a hard time knowing when we are in freeze response because it is so difficult to pinpoint because it gets roped in with character attributes like laziness or dissociation.

Then why do we do this? Well, our brains are very good at protecting ourselves from real or perceived threats, so they create these barriers to not put ourselves in situations where we could potentially have an exaggerated stress response. Then we continue to procrastinate, and go into numbing activities.

However, there is a way to move through this and design a life where procrastination isn't the norm, and we can live more fulfilling, healthier lives. Rewiring our bodies isn't an easy task, but the reward is exponential.

Tune in today to hear how you can move out of the freeze trauma response and into life!

Topics discussed in this episode: ● What is the freeze response? ● Why does the freeze response occur? ● What happens when someone stays in a freeze response? ● How dissociation falls under freeze response ● How working with the nervous system can help remedy freeze response ● Protective postures used in freeze response ● Interrupting the protective posture feedback loop ● Shame associated with freeze response ● Is freeze response related to depression? ● Importance of identifying and understanding freeze response

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

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 anddoesn't require fleeing the scene? This can be detrimental to our personal and professional livesand keep us in a state of high alert with stress hormones coursing through our bodies that canbe 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 founder of Nero-Somatic Intelligence and 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!

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

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 thepresence 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 whawe 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 andhow 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

In our first episode on emotional repression, we discussed how trauma can cause repressive behaviors and why emotional expression is necessary to living a healthy life. Today, we're concluding the conversation by addressing two emotions that impedes the healing process: grief and shame.

Despite our innate need to express emotions and have connections with other human beings, expressing even positive emotions can be difficult. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why positive emotions are so threatening to the nervous system and why minimum effective dose may be the key to healing.

• Jennifer's grief practices and co-regulation

Why can it be so hard to feel and express emotions? What happens physiologically in the brain and nervous system when anger is stuffed down? Is emotional expression necessary for our physical health? Have these topics been studied, or can we only go off our own experiences?

Hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof, and Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro are answering all these questions and more. They break down the ways people with childhood trauma develop repressive behaviors, why emotional expression is crucial for our overall health, and the consequences of emotional repression in the nervous system.

Since repression is a subconscious defense mechanism, it affects our behavior and belief patterns, and changes our perception without us even realizing it. This makes it incredibly hard to change, but after listening to this episode, you'll better understand how emotional repression impacts the different systems in the body and the power of nervous system regulation.

Tune in to learn how this knowledge can help you or your practice as a healer!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Why emotional expression is important for our health

• How childhood trauma affects our capacity to feel and express emotion

• Emotional repression and abandonment

• Responses of suppression vs. repression

• Consequences to the nervous system

• Damage to the interoceptive system

• Finding a safe space to work through emotions

• Anger as a communication tool and expression

• Effects on the immune system

• The use of plant medicine and epigenetics

Food is integral to our survival and health, but it's common for those with trauma to exhibit disordered eating, whether that be a history of dieting, bingeing, or fasting. These behaviors are truly a reflection of our dysregulated nervous system, and only once we start to heal it can we find food freedom.

During this episode, we're talking about the health of our relationships with food and our body, and how nervous system regulation is a path to trauma healing. Jennifer and Elisbeth share their personal experience with distorted eating, and how they achieved food freedom.

We also explore the topics of diet culture, intuitive eating, the "good woman narrative," and how food drives components of complex post-traumatic stress disorder, such as inner critic and perfectionism.

Tune in to learn more, and get guidance on establishing a healthier relationship with food!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Food as an output of the nervous system

• How eating behaviors affect the interoceptive system

• Effects of our traumatizing diet culture

• Food numbing emotions

• Additional pressures on women

• Experiencing the pleasure of food

• What distorts our perspective on our body

• Scarcity mindset

• Resources to start healing
