48 分钟Trauma isn’t just a single event—it’s the ongoing experience that unfolds afterward. Our access to resources, support, tools, and coping mechanisms greatly influences how our brain and nervous system are patterned in response to trauma, which in turn shapes our emotions and behaviors. By understanding these patterns as protective adaptations rather than flaws, we open the door to repatterning our nervous system and transforming our responses. In today’s episode, we revisit a powerful conversation between Elisabeth and Jennifer, who explore what happens in the brain and body following a traumatic event. They discuss how trauma imprints in the body, creating activation patterns, and how healing is possible by building the capacity to feel and engaging with community. We are highly impressionable beings—our experiences and perception of sensory inputs shape our reality. But this adaptability also makes healing possible. By repatterning neural pathways, reshaping nervous system responses, and shifting our perspective, we can build a life in which we respond consciously rather than react automatically. If this topic resonates with you, be sure to tune in and explore what it truly means to carry trauma in the body and how to heal. Don’t miss this enlightening episode!

Last week we re released one of our most popular episodes by far, how trauma lives in the body and why heal your nervous system.
And it's been a couple years since we recorded that.
And you know, science changes and most importantly, we change, right?
Our perspective broadens and deepens.
So today we're going to rerecord on this topic, really diving into the science of how trauma lives in the body, the role of applied neurology and healing, and looking at complex trauma as well as an attachment wound to explore the role of relational healing and collective change, which is something we've focused on so much in the past few seasons.
So I'm really excited to dive back into this conversation.
Welcome to Trauma Rewired, the podcast that teaches you about your nervous system, how trauma lives in the body, and what you can do to heal.
I'm your co host, Elizabeth Christoph, founder of Brainbase.com, an online community where we use applied neurology, somatics and emotional processing for behavior change and resilience.
And I'm also the founder of the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification Program, ICF accredited course that helps therapists and practitioners bridge the gap from the body to the brain.
And I'm your co host, Jennifer Wallace, a neurosomatic psychedelic preparation and integration guide.
And I help women prepare their bodies and nervous systems for psychedelic experiences and big pink somatic experiences for a deeper healing process.
And I bring neurosomatic intelligence into that journey when we work together.
And I'm also one of the educators for the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching certification.
So we know that on here when we're talking about trauma, it's a little bit more than just trauma living in the tissues, right?
It's really about the way the brain and the nervous system are patterned by a big stressor or by chronic stress.
And we've talked a lot about how trauma isn't just the event itself.
It's the protective adaptive response of the nervous system that is aimed always, first and foremost at keeping us alive.
It's this recurring reaction within the body and the nervous system in response to the threats that we face, whether those are real or perceived.
And with this shift, we really stop seeing behaviors or outputs as the problem to be fixed and start seeing them as signs of the nervous system doing the best that it can to protect and adapt.
And in that way, when we're talking about trauma, we're really talking about something that lives in the now, right?
