In this book, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma reshapes both the body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores various treatments, including neurofeedback, meditation, sports, drama, and yoga, which activate the brain’s natural neuroplasticity to aid in recovery. The book emphasizes the power of relationships in both causing and healing trauma and offers hope through descriptions of novel approaches to treatment. It is based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists in the field[1][2][5].
The winds of existence often carry us to realms of insight and transformation, and today's conversation is a testament to the profundity of our journey. On this episode, we welcome Rebbeca Wertz, a courageous soul who has traversed the path of spiritual awakening, shedding light on the mysteries of pre-birth experiences and beyond.Rebbeca Wertz's journey began within the structured confines of the Mormon church, a faith that provided her with a foundation but ultimately left her seeking deeper truths. Her childhood was marred by trauma, and she found herself grappling with questions that the church could not answer. It was through this period of turmoil that she embarked on a quest for understanding, exploring various spiritual realms and diving into self-discovery.Her journey into spirituality intensified after discovering near-death experiences (NDEs) on endof.org. "I felt like I was remembering things I already knew," Rebbeca explains, describing her all-night reading sessions that catalyzed her spiritual awakening. This awakening opened her to divine encounters, including spontaneous Kundalini awakenings and contact with what she refers to as divine extraterrestrial beings.One of the most striking aspects of her story is her vivid pre-birth experiences.
During a period of deep introspection, she recalled being in a room with her soul family, planning their lives and the challenges they would face. "I remember saying, I want to go down at this time and do that, and come into this family group," she recalls. This memory, albeit vague, gave her profound insight into her life’s purpose and the trials she volunteered to undertake, including her abusive past.Rebbeca's descriptions are both fascinating and deeply moving. In another pre-birth memory, she found herself as a small, curious orb in a heavenly domain. She eagerly volunteered for a life on Earth, likening the experience to preparing for a roller coaster ride. "It was shown to me so I wouldn’t freak out," she says, describing how she entered a light body and then a physical form, feeling the excitement and trepidation of her chosen journey.Her spiritual path has not been without its earthly challenges. From confronting her abuser and dealing with the trauma's aftermath to experiencing severe medical crises during childbirth, Rebbeca's resilience is awe-inspiring. These experiences have gifted her with heightened psychic abilities and a profound understanding of life’s interconnectedness.
