Trauma Rewired The Neurosomatics Of Habit Change
It’s that time of year again when society collectively decides it’s time to level up and make meaningful changes in our lives. Whether the goal is to get in shape, eat healthier, limit doom-scrolling, improve finances, or simply be kinder to ourselves, it all boils down to rethinking and reshaping our daily habits. But completing another trip around the sun isn’t enough to magically transform us into a new or long-lost version of ourselves. To create real, lasting change, we must first understand why we’ve been doing things the way we have and expand our capacity to embrace change.
In today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer kick off the new year with a deep dive into the neurosomatics of habit change. They explore how our brains form patterns throughout our experiences, the role of beliefs and dopamine in shaping habits, and how to work with these elements to create sustainable transformation. They also discuss the concept of applying the minimum effective dose to habit changes and why celebrating small wins is essential to reinforcing progress.
By understanding the roots of our current habits and allowing time and space for integration through repetition and self-regulation, we can create an environment that supports lasting change throughout the year—rather than burning out and rebounding to old patterns within weeks or months.
If you're ready to transform your habits and create lasting positive change, don’t miss today’s episode. This is one conversation you won’t want to skip!
