Trauma Rewired

This account of Jennifer's second to last ceremony is arguably the most profound, in that it highlighted the complete integration and release of the previous ceremonies, and there is hope.

In today's short episode, you will hear Jennifer so eloquently narrate the journey through "jaw surgery" in the maloka, and her resurrection from the experience. The clarity, bliss, and awareness, created a new foundation for the rest of her life that transpires into her life's work today.

Coming out on the other side of the death of who Jennifer once was, created the offerings she presents you with today. From a deep excavation, she has learned the route to deep healing in a way that only personal experience can provide, and she shares these lessons with you now.

Tune in to hear more of what Jennifer experienced in ceremony and the importance of deep, somatic integration.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Jennifer's intention going into the second to last ceremony
• The sadness from awareness
• Jennifer's "surgery" experience in the maloka
• Total rebirth incoming
• Scenes of "surgery" post-op
• Psychedelic and their power in sensory enhancement

In the first short episode detailing Jennifer's ayahuasca experience, she shared her intentions for healing. In this next installment, you'll hear her firsthand account of how she, with help from two shamans, was able to retrieve her soul and restore a feeling of safety.

After drinking the ayahuasca tea and being enveloped in the impassioned sounds of Maestros Maricella and Francisco singing icaros, Jennifer was able to find parts of her that were lost through her life's trauma.

Jennifer describes being back in the maloka for a second night, once again feeling connected to the universe through vibrant visions of herself and nature. The magic of the ayahuasca medicine, combined with the progress made on the first night, allowed her to process deeper emotions and finally reach a place of self-love.

In this short episode, Jennifer recounts her powerful healing experience at an ayahuasca retreat on the beaches of Costa Rica. Contrary to Western medicine, ayahuasca treatment focuses on the energetic body to open a pathway to healing.

Containing the potent psychoactive DMT, this psychedelic is brewed with tea and drank to induce altered states of consciousness. Ayahuasca can bring undiscovered truths to the surface, and help you revisit memories that shaped you at a young age - and this is exactly what our host experienced.

After learning about plant medicine and listening to others experiences with ayahuasca, Jennifer decided it was her turn to give it a try. Healing requires support, and on this retreat she had the help of two healers to guide her through the use of icaros, or magical songs.

She was able to confront her past, gain insight into her life, and most importantly, release feelings she had been holding on to for decades. Jennifer was able to do all of this in a positive way, not reliving her pain but visiting it with a different point of view.

If you're interested in plant medicine for healing trauma, this episode is a must-listen! Disclaimer: this episode has multiple mentions of childhood sexual trauma.

Emotional Flashbacks: CPTSD Element

Season 02, Episode 21

The nervous system is our body's control center, telling us when to move, think, and breathe. Disorders like CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder), put our bodies in a state of dysregulation that can have profound effects on how we feel and react.

Human emotions are a full system experience, affecting the entire body by way of hormones, sympathetic and parasympathetic stress responses. Big emotions can be overwhelming for those with CPTSD, initiating a maladaptive survival response.

In today's episode, Elisabeth Kristof is on the show to discuss one element of this new diagnosis: emotional flashbacks. There are some misconceptions around this term, but understanding it is an important step to living a better life without the burden of trauma.

Emotional flashbacks are not regression, but rather a real-time response often created in childhood. Our brains perceive the world through the filter of our experience, so those with trauma will respond to triggers with the neurological patterns they developed as children.

Elisabeth spent years stuck in an emotional flashback state, and only saw true change through working with her emotional body to regulate her nervous system. The cognitive mind cannot overpower emotional flashbacks, so you must create your own toolkit through self-awareness.

Relieving the trauma is not necessary, but it is imperative to express your feelings in order to move on to the next step in your healing journey.

Tune in to learn how to get started!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Definitions of emotional flashbacks and the neuro-somatic perspective
• Emotions and symptoms related to emotional flashbacks
• What can trigger an emotional flashback
• How the brain matches your internal state to the external world
• The inability to regulate emotions as a child affects how you respond to triggers
• Understanding your baseline level to recognize trauma responses
• Sympathetic and parasympathetic stress responses to a real or perceived threat
• How neurosomatic tools, or "neuro drills," can help regulate the nervous system
• Elisabeth describes her years stuck in a dysregulated state and cycling through trauma responses
• Jennifer shared her journey from childhood trauma, being stuck in an emotional flashback state, and finally gaining self-awareness
• The importance of understanding your triggers and responses
• Pattern recognition triggers
• Neuro tags and how they activate an existing trauma response pattern
• Creating safety in the nervous system to build new patterns and behaviors
• Getting past a disorganized sense of self to become aware and express emotions
• Practice daily to make intentional changes to your nervous system
• Working with your emotional body to release big, repressed emotions
• Find practitioners that will give you a safe place to be vulnerable
• Having the life you want means working on your symptoms of CPTSD
• Elisabeth shares the story of a client who gave up dating because of their overwhelming emotional response to breakups
• Emotions affect the whole body, from hormones to brain function
• Work through feelings of guilt and shame to improve your responses to triggers
• Don't rely on the cognitive mind to make change
• The 5 components of CPTSD
• Experiencing self-sabotaging behaviors from trying to change your nervous system

The Magic Tea & the Tumor

Season 02, Episode 20

We, as humans, are more powerful than we can fathom. We have the ability to heal with our minds and our bodies at such high levels, only when given the opportunity.

Sometimes, to get to that awareness, it takes opening up parts of our minds that have been dormant for a long time. That is where plant medicine comes in.

Plant medicine, when used in a safe and controlled environment, has the ability to open our mind and heart up in ways that can transform us from the inside out.

This is something host Jennifer Wallace experienced after receiving her breast cancer diagnosis, and was called to plant medicine treatment. The treatment had a profound affect on Jennifer, in that it changed the way she saw her breast cancer and inevitably the way she healed it.

This is a powerful episode that will open your mind to a new way of healing, integrating plant medicine and neurosomatic intelligence to create a powerful combination of intense transformation and healing.

Tune in to hear Jennifer's story and how you can connect with her to start your healing journey.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• How plant medicine benefited Jennifer in her healing
• Jennifer's story of her breast cancer diagnosis
• Jennifer's first plant medicine experience
• The power of our body and mind
• The courage to see where you are out of alignment
• Importance of having integration guidance
• You are the medicine

Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is only recently beginning to be recognized thanks to the Healing Revolution but its roots actually go back to Freud in the 1800's. Complex CPTSD sets itself apart from PTSD by five distinguishing trauma responses and likely stems from an adverse childhood experience, a developmental trauma, a failed environment.

With brain science coming so far in the past twenty years we are now more clear about how trauma affects a developing young brain. Stress, trauma, and unresolved stress responses create a dysfunctional brain. When our bodies are more stressed it can create a chronic illness or disease state within the body. It's all just one giant loop.

How can we understand this in our own life? Maybe you will find yourself within Jennifer and Elisabeth's stories or their clients' stories. And understand what you may have thought was a personality trait is actually a trauma response.

This conversation discusses

• What is CPTSD
• The difference between CPTSD & PTSD
• Dr. Judith Herman, Dr. Pete Walker
• Emotional Flashbacks, Toxic Shame, Self Abandonment, Inner Critic, and Social Anxiety
• Possible causes of CPTSD including early childhood sexual trauma
• Our experiences with CPTSD
• Emotional neglect is a core wound
• Development of the fundamental belief system
• Babies don't have complex understanding of the world around them
• All abandonment is self abandonment
• Working with your nervous system to build awareness and recognize trauma responses
• Nervous system regulation
• How does CPTSD challenge society?

This conversation is the beginning of a long conversation about CPTSD as we will be breaking down its components individually.

Mental Health Crisis, Trauma, Psychedelics .... big words during these times. Plant medicicne is not a quick fix and the lack of support on the backend during integration is staggering. I know because I've been to the best centers and even theyre trying to figure it out. There are people who understand integration but they aren't often trained in nervous system regulation and healing. Join me as I share with you the importance of bridging the two worlds of Psychedelic Integration & Neurosomatic Intelligence. It's within the nervous ssytem that anything you want is possible. Thanks to your already existing neural plasticity you always have the capactiy for change and then you add a powerhouse plant medicine that increases that capacity and potentially catapault you into any direction.

Maybe the change you desire feels scary, perhaps you unlocked a deeply buried scary trauma, how about that hard conversation, or intentioanlly blowing your world up to leave the mundane 9-5 and live a life of purpose.

Everyone's path is very different based on what comes through, where our attention and intention lies, and what we are healing or processing. Remember change is threatening to your brain so learn your unique nervous system and create the life you desire. I can help you. Nothing about your journey is going to dysregualte me, I can hold space for you, and keep your nervous system safe.

Behavior change is my jam and so are sacred spaces. If this conversation inspired you and you want support then please follow the link below. It's really so easy to book a free call.
