41 分钟In this episode of "Trauma Rewired," hosts Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace delve into the intricate relationship between memory, trauma, and the nervous system. Originally this conversation was recorded and released in two parts and what you are listening to is a combination of them. The discussion underscores the multidimensional nature of memory, including how the superior and inferior hippocampus play distinct roles in recalling positive and negative memories. The hosts explain how trauma impacts memory processing and recall, emphasizing the significance of emotional states and how they can either distort or neutralize memories. Emotional flashbacks and somatic memories, which are stored within the body's sensory experience rather than in cognitive recall, highlight the importance of understanding and processing these implicit memories for holistic healing. The conversation also explores the potential of psychedelic experiences and body awareness practices in accessing and working through somatic memories. Jennifer Wallace shares insights into preparing the body for such experiences to ensure emotional safety and maximize therapeutic benefits. The hosts touch on the hypersensitivity of the HPA axis due to early life stress and trauma, outlining how unresolved trauma can lead to chronic stress responses and adverse health effects over time. Despite these challenges, they emphasize neuroplasticity's power to promote healing and change through intentional engagement with the nervous system. Kristof and Wallace discuss emerging research on cellular memory and its implications for understanding how trauma and memory are stored beyond the brain. They highlight the role of generational trauma and epigenetics in shaping stress responses and health outcomes across generations. The episode concludes with reflections on how personal agency and repatterning the nervous system can aid individuals in creating safer, more resilient pathways for emotional and mental well-being.

So this season we're exploring the underpinnings of trauma and nervous system health in mental and physical health outcomes and important components of understanding this concept is the connections really exploring how our memories shape our physiological and emotional experiences of the present world.
So today at a high level we're going to look at how memories are stored in the brain, how this impacts nervous system function and more deeply, how Memories are stored somatically in the body and the nervous system, maybe even cellularly.
So we've defined complex trauma on here many times as when a series of events leaves us with an inability to integrate and regulate into the present moment.
And this lack of presence comes from a real time trauma reaction, like dissociation, threat, panic, freeze, that occurs in the now when our system is triggered or overwhelmed by the stimulus that's coming in.
