2022 How Trauma Lives In The Body And Why You Should Heal It

In this updated episode of the Trauma Rewired podcast, originally released in 2022, the focus is on healing the nervous system as a crucial component of overall well-being. The episode introduces the nervous system as the body's operating system, explaining how deficits in this system can lead to stress and dysregulation. It explores the four trauma responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—demonstrating how these responses can trigger protective behaviors like binge eating or substance abuse. The discussion emphasizes the significant role of the vagus nerve in bridging the connection between body and mind. Importantly, it highlights that healing the nervous system can foster resilience and enhance behavior, even without pinpointing specific traumas, which ultimately promotes a greater sense of safety and self-awareness. A testimonial from a Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI) practitioner illustrates the profound impact of this healing approach.
