How Trauma Lives in the Body

Trauma Rewired: How Trauma Lives In The Body

Season 02, Episode 02]

There is a fundamental key to healing trauma that is often overlooked, but crucial to move from survival mode to a balanced fulfilling life. That is, understanding that our bodies have a highly intellectual memory system that holds on to trauma for years. We focus so much on the mind, but neglect the intricacies of our physiology to heal traumas long term. Your mood, finances, intimacy, productivity, etc, are essentially dictated by your nervous system. A dysregulated nervous system caused by trauma can have detrimental effects on all areas of life, especially if negative coping mechanisms are involved. 

 

In this episode, Jennifer Wallace sits down with the creator of Brain Based Wellness, Elisabeth Kristof, to discuss how applied neurology is the missing piece to understanding what trauma really is and how it affects our physical bodies on a scientific level, and in turn our outer world. Jennifer and Elisabeth recount their own experiences in healing from trauma using applied neurology.

Intellectually understanding your trauma is not enough, there is an extra layer that we must pay attention to before we can fully heal. Through consistent, healthy, nervous system regulation practices and exercises, mentioned in today’s episode, healing IS possible. Listen in for more information.

• What is trauma
