The Fluidity of Attachment Styles and the Capacity to create more security
When a child’s needs aren’t being met by their caregiver, by not being fed or feeling safe, they develop a distorted view of relationships. This attachment schema is the lens through which they examine the behavior of others, impacting their ability to form relationships and lead a healthy, happy life. In past episodes, hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth have talked about connection being one of our survival needs, but an insecure attachment directly challenges this need. Being close to others, feeling vulnerable and connected, can also be very dysregulating to those who learned to survive with unemotional or unreliable caregivers. So, how can you overcome your learned patterns to create healthy relationships with yourself and others? The answer is nervous system training. In this episode, Jennifer and Elisabeth will walk you through attachment schema, how the three insecure attachment styles develop and show up as behavioral outputs, and how nervous system regulation has helped them work toward lasting change. Tune in for all this and more! Topics discussed in this episode: Attachment style from the NSI perspective How insecure attachment schema affects social development Nervous system regulation as a way to change our patterns The areas of the brain responsible for creating neuro tags How the 3 insecure attachment styles develop and are expressed Misconceptions about avoidant attachment style Disorganized attachment and complex trauma Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer: https://www.rewiretrial.com Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program here: https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com/?utm_medium=aff-traumarewired&utm_content&utm_source Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 Head to https://calendly.com/traumarewired/consultation for a consultation to identify trauma responses in your own life and learn how to train your nervous system to move out of behaviors that aren’t serving you!

Embodiment is Scary AF
Embodiment has many different meanings, but to be embodied from a neurosomatic intelligence perspective relates to the integration of the body, mind and spirit. It means you are aware of the connection between your body and its internal sensations, your emotions, and your behaviors. Sharing her journey to embodiment and how she uses it in her work as a mindset coach is Tracy Litt, speaker and founder of The Litt Factor. Tracy is also a bestselling author and her new book, “Expander: For Trailblazing Women Building a New World,” outlines the damaging paradigms that hold us back and what we can do to replace them. In this episode, Tracy helps us look at embodiment through the lens of neurosomatic intelligence, including how it impacts our relationships, career, and health. You’ll learn more about dissociation, what keeps us from feeling and being in our bodies, and how emotional expression will transform your life. There is a natural fear to change and embodiment, but you have to remember that YOU are the creator of your own life. Tune in to find out how to start healing through nervous system work! Topics discussed in this episode: What embodiment truly means Embodiment as necessary for change Our personal paths to embodiment The importance of slowing down What disconnects women to their bodies The freedom of emotional expression Training your nervous system to safely process emotions How Tracy uses NSI tools to help clients Tracy’s new book, Expander What Tracy took away from the NSI Certification course Learn more about Tracy Litt and her company, The Litt Factor! www.thelittfactor.com Read Tracy’s FREE eBook, Expander: For Trailblazing Women Building a New World! https://www.theexpanderbook.com/ Want to learn more about neurosomatic intelligence, and how it can help you and your clients? https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com/?utm_medium=aff-traumarewired&utm_content&utm_source Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer: https://www.rewiretrial.com Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique https://www.podcastboutique.com

Setting & Receiving Boundaries
In order to talk about boundaries, we must first understand what they are and why they’re important. That’s why we start off this episode with a definition by somatic practitioner, Prentis Hemphill: “Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously.” Joining hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth for a second time is Margy Feldhuhn, CEO of Interview Connections and neurosomatic intelligence coach. They’ll explore the role of boundaries in our lives, including how they open the door for authentic self-expression and deeper relationships. You’ll also learn more about codependency, fawn response, the neuroscience of emotions, how boundaries cause disease, and the connection between attachment and the ability to set and respect boundaries. Tune in as we dive deeper into boundaries, and find out how you can use NSI tools to feel safe enough to discover and express your boundaries! Topics discussed in this episode: Why boundaries are so important Boundaries and our need for connection versus autonomy How the 3 F’s lead to self-abandonment and lack of boundaries Self-expression and authenticity What leads to codependency Margy’s experience with quiet manipulation Cultural body boundary violations The neuroscience of emotions and emotional processing Respecting other people’s boundaries The impact of emotional neglect on our ability to set/receive boundaries How boundaries affect our emotional and physical healthy Using neurosomatic tools to move stress through the body Get more information on Margy Feldhoun’s company, Interview Connections, here: https://interviewconnections.com Connect with Margy: https://www.instagram.com/heymargy/ https://www.tiktok.com/@heymargy Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer: https://www.rewiretrial.com Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program here: https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com/?utm_medium=aff-traumarewired&utm_content&utm_source Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 Head to https://calendly.com/traumarewired/consultation for a consultation to identify trauma responses in your own life and learn how to train your nervous system to move out of behaviors that aren’t serving you!
