1 小时 2 分钟What happens in the brain when a stress response is activated ? How does developmental trauma shapes our nervous system and subconscious reactions as adults? Today, we're answering those questions and diving deeper into how the brain develops through social interactions, why social connection is a survival need, and what happens in the body when we experience connection with other people. Matt Bush is joining Jennifer and Elisabeth to discuss the impact of trauma on the brain’s functioning, and therefore, our relationships, expression, sense of safety, and overall health. They talk about what happens when you’re not primed for connection in childhood, how the brain is wired to be part of the social structure in relationships, what part of the brain guides us toward dysregulation and protective outputs, and lots more. In this episode we delve into the intricate relationships between high ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) scores, developmental trauma, and their lifelong impacts on individuals' stress levels and physical health. The conversation highlights the critical role of early childhood experiences, particularly the bond with caregivers, in shaping one's ability to manage stress and form healthy relationships. We know that connection is crucial to our survival as humans, but for those with complex trauma, even the healthiest relationships can trigger a stress response and lead to maladaptive behaviors. This episode provides a comprehensive look at how stress impacts our relationships and physical health, and highlights the importance of consistent nervous system training to rewire the brain’s response to stress and build resilience. You’ll also learn why complex trauma is an attachment would, and most importantly, that change is possible and how you can get started NOW. Tune in for all this and more! We discuss chronic inflammation and its connection to social threats and shame, noting that these emotional stressors can trigger physical responses. Talking Points: Impact of high ACE scores and developmental trauma on stress levels and physical outcomes. Influence of early childhood experiences on the HPA axis and long-term stress responses. Role of attachment theory and the impact of caregiver availability. Relationship between social threats, shame, and inflammatory responses. Importance of training the nervous system through neurosomatic integration (NSI) tools. Personal narratives on managing complex PTSD and changing attachment patterns. Exploration of the OODA loop in processing and responding to environmental stimuli. Emphasis on the potential for neuroplasticity and intentional change in nervous system responses.

Today we're diving deep into the connections between complex trauma, attachment wounds, and the body's response to stress in relationships.
In this episode, we're reconnecting with some powerful insights from past conversations.
Like our episode on complex trauma is an attachment wound and our exploration with Matt Bush on stress response in relationships.
Our goal in bringing these episodes back and weaving them together is to bring these concepts together in a new way to help you connect some dots or digest the information on a deeper to really integrate it differently and understand how these different elements shape both our internal and our external world.
Because while every relationship holds some level of stress, because none of us are perfect communicators, the big question really is, does that stress get resolved or does it build over time?
As children, we're not equipped to set boundaries or articulate our needs fully.
We really rely on adults around us to help regulate that stress.
But if we don't have that support, the nervous system is left in a heightened state.
A constant stress response, bracing, resisting connection.
And even though that initial response is protective, if the stress doesn't relent over time, the body becomes very depleted and exhausted.
We can only maintain that state for so long.
So today we're gonna look at how unresolved stress, especially relationally from attachment wounds of complex trauma, affects our nervous system, our health and our behavior.
And we'll explore how the stress shows up in our bodies, shapes our patterned responses, and impacts our ability to connect, to communicate, to set boundaries now in adulthood.
So by weaving these episodes together, we hope you'll have a clear understanding of how attachment, stress and the nervous system are intricately woven together.
And also some new tools and ways of thinking about this that offer maybe a little bit more self compassionate, a little bit more altitude and practical practices that you can use to navigate through this in your own life.
