In our first episode on emotional repression, we discussed how trauma can cause repressive behaviors and why emotional expression is necessary to living a healthy life. Today, we’re concluding the conversation by addressing two emotions that impedes the healing process: grief and shame.   Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro is back to continue the discussion with hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof. To showcase the effects of grief on the nervous system, they all give examples of client experiences with repressed emotions and their own grief practices.   Despite our innate need to express emotions and have connections with other human beings, expressing even positive emotions can be difficult. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why positive emotions are so threatening to the nervous system and why minimum effective dose may be the key to healing.   Listen in to learn about how to work through shame, the healing power of nature, and finding safety in emotional expression!   Topics discussed in this episode:   Why neuro trainers need to be trauma informed Jennifer’s grief practices and co-regulation How grief affects the nervous system Learning to connect with your grief Shame as an immobilizing and protective emotion Using NSI to work through shame Why positive emotions can be scary to the nervous system How our brain helps us heal   Start your FREE Brain-Based Wellness 2-week neuro training: https://www.brainbased-wellness.com/membership/?aff=Jenebug   Get more information on the Neuro Somatic Intelligence Certification: https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com?aff=traumarewired   Subscribe to the free Brain Training Video Series: https://www.brainbased-wellness.com/membership/?aff=Jenebug   Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846   Connect with Matt Bush:   https://www.nextlevelneuro.com/   https://www.instagram.com/nextlevelneuro/   https://www.facebook.com/nextlevelneuro/   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!   Work with Jennifer:   https://linktr.ee/traumarewired   https://www.instagram.com/trauma.rewired/   FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.athleticgreens.com/rewired This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique http://www.podcastboutique.com  

The podcast explores the dangers of emotional repression and the importance of emotional expression for overall health, particularly the nervous system. It discusses the impact of childhood trauma on emotional repression, the consequences to the nervous system, and the importance of finding a safe space to work through emotions. The episode also delves into the effects of emotional repression on the body and the connection between trauma, somatic healing, and generational trauma. Additionally, it touches on epigenetics, emotional regulation, and the importance of trauma awareness.

Food is integral to our survival and health, but it’s common for those with trauma to exhibit disordered eating, whether that be a history of dieting, bingeing, or fasting. These behaviors are truly a reflection of our dysregulated nervous system, and only once we start to heal it can we find food freedom.   During this episode, we’re talking about the health of our relationships with food and our body, and how nervous system regulation is a path to trauma healing. Jennifer and Elisbeth share their personal experience with distorted eating, and how they achieved food freedom.   We also explore the topics of diet culture, intuitive eating, the “good woman narrative,” and how food drives components of complex post-traumatic stress disorder, such as inner critic and perfectionism.   Tune in to learn more, and get guidance on establishing a healthier relationship with food!   Topics discussed in this episode:   Food as an output of the nervous system How eating behaviors affect the interoceptive system Effects of our traumatizing diet culture Food numbing emotions Additional pressures on women Experiencing the pleasure of food What distorts our perspective on our body Scarcity mindset Resources to start healing   Get more information on the Neuro Somatic Intelligence Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com?aff=traumarewired   Sign up for the Food Freedom program here: https://brainbased-wellness.com/food-freedom/   Subscribe to the free Brain Training Video Series: https://brainbased-wellness.com/membership/?aff=Jenebug   Learn more about Brain-Based Wellness, here: https://brainbased-wellness.com?aff=Jenebug   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!   Work with Jennifer:   https://linktr.ee/traumarewired   https://www.instagram.com/illuminatedwithjennifer/ FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.athleticgreens.com/rewired This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique http://www.podcastboutique.com  

Do you have trouble getting out of your head and into your body? Does your trauma affect your ability to make deep connections with others? For today’s guest, following a neurosomatic intelligence framework allowed her and her partner to build a stronger relationship, while learning more about themselves in the process.   Sharing her NSI experience with hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisbeth Kristoff is Dr. Jolie Hamilton, a relationship expert who now brings neurosomatic intelligence into her practice. They discuss how our nervous systems interact with each other, healing generational trauma, and the power of using NSI tools anytime, anywhere.   Our nervous systems have the power to comfort or dysregulate ourselves and others, but it’s important to remember that dysregulation is inevitable in any relationship. The key is to expand the capacity of our nervous system, and you can learn that from this interview.   If you have an insecure attachment style, want to try NSI tools with your partner or just want to understand the science of this topic, listen to this episode!   Topics discussed in this episode:   Dr. Jolie’s progress after connecting with NSI/somatics How Dr. Jolie’s clients use NSI tools to combat triggers Interacting with each other’s nervous systems Exploring NSI tools with a partner The cycle of trauma bonding Rewiring patterns and psychodynamic theory Healing generational trauma The collective unconscious Warring internal parts of ourselves Benefits of nervous system regulation   Contact Dr. Jolie Hamilton:   Website https://www.jolihamilton.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/drjoli_hamilton/ Get more information on the Neuro Somatic Intelligence Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com?aff=traumarewired   Subscribe to the free Brain Training Video Series: https://brainbased-wellness.com/free-subscription/   Learn more about Brain-Based Wellness, here: https://brainbased-wellness.com?aff=Jenebug   Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group!   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!   Work with Jennifer:   https://linktr.ee/traumarewired   https://www.instagram.com/illuminatedwithjennifer/ FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: www.athleticgreens.com/rewired This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique http://podcastboutique.com

If you’ve followed this podcast for even just a few episodes, you’ve heard about complex PTSD, the effects of trauma on the developmental brain, and how maladaptive behaviors form. Most importantly, you’ve learned that long-lasting change requires integration, a process supported by applied neurology.   Today, find out what applied neurology is and why it’s crucial to healing trauma from Trauma Rewired hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness. You’ll learn about the nervous system, the effects of trauma on our input systems, and how all the systems in our body work together to keep us safe — even when it has a negative impact on our health.   Elisabeth and Jennifer also explain how neurosomatic intelligence tools are a true and practical way to change our brain’s patterns. Addressing any trauma-caused deficits in your input system with nervous system training works for them and their clients, and it can work for you too.   Listen in to start understanding what’s going on in your body, and get yourself one step closer to healing your traumas!   Topics discussed in this episode:   Defining applied neurology and why it’s important Neurosomatic intelligence as an input driven system Performance vs. protective outputs The brain’s role in our survival and deficits in our input systems Using NSI tools to support self-regulation Emotional processing and breaking patterns The importance of building a relationship with your body Sensory mismatch and how we react to it Key takeaways from this episode   Learn more about Neuro-Somatic Intelligence https://neurosomaticintelligence.com?aff=traumarewired   Subscribe to the free Brain Training Video Series: https://brainbased-wellness.com?aff=Jenebug   Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group!

“We all know this phrase, ‘if you wanna get out of the hole, stop digging.’ But when you're in complex PTSD, the brain is digging and you can't make it stop. It just keeps going back to these same experiences and these same feelings. It shows up in long-term development of the nervous system. It shows up in the physical body. It shows up because we don't know how to stop the digging.”   Today, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness are again joined by co-founder of the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching Certification Program, Matt Bush. During the second half of their discussion on complex trauma and the developing brain, you’ll learn why it’s so hard to break the brain’s unhealthy patterns and how you can “stop the digging.”   In this episode, Matt explains how the three areas of the brain make a framework to process emotions, regulate emotions, and incite action. Trauma Rewired has mentioned many times that without integration, long-lasting change is difficult, but without the survival brain and emotional brain working together, integration, specifically vertical integration, is impossible. This may sound overwhelming, but the good news change IS possible because of neuroplasticity.   If you want a deep understanding of vertical integration and how trauma affects the developing brain, tune in to learn more!   Topics discussed in this episode:   What is vertical integration? Our brain’s protective mechanisms and what triggers them Integration of emotional work and body work How developmental trauma affects vertical integration Dysregulation between the brain’s right and left hemisphere Effects of imbalances in the nervous system The SAID principle in relation to nervous system imbalance Creating safety to break the pattern of dysregulation Benefits of learning more about trauma and the brain   Interested in becoming a Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach?

“Impaired integration is such a hallmark of the traumatized brain. It disrupts our ability to balance our nervous system. Neurobiologist Dan Siegel says that at its very essence, the purpose of trauma therapy is to restore brain integration.”   On today’s episode, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness discuss the neurological impacts of trauma, specifically how disassociation and fragmentation affect our brain integration. They’re joined by Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro and co-founder of the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching Certification Program.   Expect to understand more about how early childhood trauma results in brain dysfunction, shapes our basic functioning and filtration systems, and can overpower the cognitive mind. You’ll also learn what reintegrating memories actually means, and why integration is the key to healing.   Tune in to hear how neurosomatic intelligence can help get you to integrate and regulate your nervous system!   Topics discussed in this episode:   Defining complex trauma from a neurosomatic perspective How complex trauma affects us in our daily lives and our future Effects of trauma on brain development Dissociation and fragmentation of self Matt describes what high level integration looks like Memory integration and why people feel “stuck” Real examples of trauma responses overpowering their cognitive brain Disassociating from the different parts of your self   Interested in becoming a Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach?
