What is a neurotypical world? Here at Trauma Rewired, we don’t believe it exists. As humans, we are biodynamic, unique, individuals that process the world around us differently. So understanding how that happens is key to unlocking our healing potential. Complex trauma adds another layer to the mix, which we believe is not separate from neurodivergence. The “extra” neural pathways reinforced by traumatic events to keep us safe is what shapes the neurodivergent spectrum.
On today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by founder of Next Level Neuro, Matt Bush, to discuss how complex trauma IS neurodivergence. They take a deep dive into what goes on in the brain during development and when traumatic events happen, that result in shaping our neurodivergent superpowers. They also discuss how to hone in and take control of these unique nuances to better share our gifts with the world.
Although we cannot change our past experiences, we can change how we process sensory information and rewire the brain to reinterpret triggers that may not be helpful. Through proper dosing of NSI tools, we want to show you how you can achieve that.
