Trauma Rewired

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!

• Client and personal stories about Applied Neurology
• What is Applied Neurology - simply put
• Why is it important to train the nervous system

In this episode we will be discussing the least understood, and most insidious four F's in trauma response, fawn.

This survival adaptation is difficult to pinpoint, because fawn can often be confused with empathy or general care, but if not dealt with, can get to a toxic level for the fawner. Neglecting yourself for the sake of others can cause chronic issues, not only in the body, but in creating genuine connections as well.

The missing piece to overcoming fawn is to first identify it, then to gain tools to regulate the nervous system to create safety in the body. However, the tools are difficult to implement when you are unaware of the trauma response in the first place.

Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff from Brain-Based Wellness, uncover what fawn looks like and how it may show up in your life. Along with practical tools to regulate the nervous system in situations where fawning was the automatic response, and how to override that with an intentional one.

Finding safety in your own body IS possible and so is living authentically. Listen in for more info!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• What does fawn mean in terms of a trauma response
• Why fawn develops
• Recognizing fawn in yourself
• How its triggered
• Practical tools to move passed fawn
• What is sexual fawning

Did you know you can measure your life expectancy by taking a short quiz about childhood experiences? Depending on the score, your lifespan either increases or decreases by 20 years!

Advances in science have found a link between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), and poor physical and mental health later in life. This distinction has been difficult to prove, but thanks to Dr. Vincent Filetti's dedication to studying this phenomenon, we can make a correlation between traumatic events from our past and chronic illnesses that manifest in adulthood.

In this episode, Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach, Jennifer Wallace, and Elisabeth Kristoff from Brain Based Wellness, discuss the link between childhood trauma and illness later in life in hopes of shedding light on how trauma stored in the body can cause, sometimes fatal, health issues. In this conversation, Jennifer and Elisabeth recount their own ACE scores and how it has affected their health and lives as a whole, as well as tools based in applied neurology to allow for self-regulation to help heal trauma stored in the body.

These adverse childhood experiences change the physiology of the body and mind which lead to higher risk of obesity, addiction, and other harmful maladaptive behaviors that are bad for overall health, and lower life expectancy.

When we understand the root causes of our health issues, we are more equipped in finding solutions and tools to help heal ourselves once and for all. Tools that are discussed in this episode have been proven to help not only Jennifer and Elisaeth in their healing, but many others who have used applied neurology for their benefit. Listen in for more information!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• What are ACE test scores
• Obesity study by Dr. Vincet Filetti
• Pinpoint maladaptive behaviors related to past traumas
• Bridging the gap between trauma and illness
• What a dysregulated nervous system looks like
• Learning tools on how to regulate to reduce chronic stress
• Basics on applied neurology to help heal once and for all!

Trauma Rewired: How Trauma Lives In The Body

Season 02, Episode 02]

There is a fundamental key to healing trauma that is often overlooked, but crucial to move from survival mode to a balanced fulfilling life. That is, understanding that our bodies have a highly intellectual memory system that holds on to trauma for years. We focus so much on the mind, but neglect the intricacies of our physiology to heal traumas long term. Your mood, finances, intimacy, productivity, etc, are essentially dictated by your nervous system. A dysregulated nervous system caused by trauma can have detrimental effects on all areas of life, especially if negative coping mechanisms are involved.

In this episode, Jennifer Wallace sits down with the creator of Brain Based Wellness, Elisabeth Kristof, to discuss how applied neurology is the missing piece to understanding what trauma really is and how it affects our physical bodies on a scientific level, and in turn our outer world. Jennifer and Elisabeth recount their own experiences in healing from trauma using applied neurology.

Intellectually understanding your trauma is not enough, there is an extra layer that we must pay attention to before we can fully heal. Through consistent, healthy, nervous system regulation practices and exercises, mentioned in today's episode, healing IS possible. Listen in for more information.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• What is trauma
• How to recognize nervous system dysregulation
• Pinpoint negative regulation patterns
• Tools to regulate nervous system healthily
• The science of trauma
• How applied neurology heals trauma
• Easy daily exercises to help heal trauma

What if I told you that 90% of your issues can be solved just by healing your nervous system? It sounds like a simple solution for the complexity of issues in our lives, but the reality is, most of life is navigated by our nervous system, and for people who have experienced trauma, this can have a range of negative consequences from digestion issues to trouble with intimacy in relationships.

In this episode, Jennifer Wallace sits down with the creator of Brain Based Wellness, Elisabeth Kristof, to discuss how to train the brain to heal the nervous system. By doing simple daily exercises, you can train the brain to elicit new behaviors or coping mechanisms that help regulate the nervous system to lower the stress response in the body.

Traumatic experiences, if left untreated, can wreak havoc on the nervous system, causing dysregulation of the nervous system keeping you in a survival state. However, using Elisabeth Kristof's Brain Based Wellness methods, you can move out of stress and anxiety by doing simple exercises every day that take less than 5 minutes.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• How our nervous system relates to behaviors
• How to regulate the nervous system
• Nervous system deficits
• How to pinpoint and heal deficits
• Benefits of healing the nervous system
• What is Applied Neurology
• What is Brain Based Wellness
• Exercises and tools to regulate the nervous system
