We often think of trauma as a deeply personal experience, shaped by our childhood, relationships, and emotional wounds. But what if some of our deepest pain didnât start with us? What if trauma is embedded in the very systems weâre born into - our medical institutions, cultural ideologies, and societal norms?
In todayâs episode, weâre joined by Dr. Tayla Shanaye, somatic therapist, scholar, and expert in birth trauma and structural oppression. Tayla joins Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful exploration of how ideologies like white supremacy, patriarchy, and ableism donât just shape policies, they live in our bodies, shaping how we birth, connect, and heal.
Together, they discuss the medicalization of childbirth, the systemic invalidation of birthing bodies, and how trauma is passed down generationally through embodied experiences. This episode invites us to look at birth as more than a physical event, itâs a moment of transformation, a portal, and for many, a site of trauma that is rarely acknowledged.
Tayla also shares deeply personal stories of pregnancy, birth, and healing, highlighting the need for preparation, integration, and community-based support to create a culture where somatic safety and agency are the norm. Youâll hear how nervous system awareness, collective ritual, and somatic abolitionism can radically change how we relate to our bodies and to each other.
If youâve ever felt broken by birth, silenced in your experience, or curious about how deep healing begins at the structural level, this episode is for you.
Topics discussed in this episode:
â The medicalization of birth and its traumatic impact
â Why trauma is systemicânot just personal
â How ideologies like racism and patriarchy are embodied
â The role of the nervous system in healing generational trauma
â Somatic healing and reclaiming bodily agency
â Historical roots of obstetric violence and experimentation
â The missing rituals of birth preparation and integration
â How voice, safety, and co-regulation shape our healing
â The vision of community-led, embodied care
â Why embodiment is key to creating real cultureReady to reclaim your voice, your safety, and your power? Join the Neurosomatic Voice Activation Course: https://brookewolfe.com/traumarewired

We often think of healing as an individual journeyâgoing inward to process unresolved trauma,
grief, and pain from our past. But what about collective trauma, grief, and pain? We rarely
consider the healing that must take place beyond ourselves, addressing the unprocessed
wounds we carry as a community. True healing requires creating safety both within and around
us, allowing us to move beyond our personal experiences and contribute to something greater
than our own individual worlds.
On todayâs episode, weâre joined by embodiment facilitator, political organizer, therapist, and
podcast host, Prentis Hemphill. As the founder of The Embodiment Institute and The Black
Embodiment Initiative, and host of Becoming The People, Prentis brings deep wisdom and
presence to the conversation. They sit down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful
discussion on healing in community, the role of embodiment in collective transformation, and the
challenges of accountability.
Prentis also shares invaluable insights on navigating fear, processing collective grief, and
staying grounded in truthâespecially when sharing your gifts with the world on a larger scale.
On Trauma Rewired, often discuss how embodiment and healing requires repetition, practice,
and safe spaces. It also takes courageâespecially when facilitating collective healing. Prentis
embodies this work in a profound way, so donât miss todayâs episode to hear their insights and
much more!
Topics discussed in this episode:
â How embodiment unfolds uniquely for each individual
â The healing journey as a shared, communal experience
â Barriers to accountability and how to navigate them
â The nervous systemâs role in shaping our ability to relate, reflect, and grow
â How Prentis balances visibility with safety and grounding
â The many forms of fear, both individually and collectively
â The impact of being denied the space to grieve
â The dual responsibilityâand giftâof inner and collective healing
â Extending grace to others on their healing journeys

What happens when your body feels more than your mind can make sense of?In this deeply grounding episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth and Jennifer open up a necessary and often overlooked conversation about peak somatic experiencesâpowerful moments of healing that happen in the body, not the mind.
Whether youâre drawn to psychedelics, breathwork, or trauma release exercises, this episode unpacks the neurobiological, emotional, and spiritual layers of somatic breakthroughs. But more importantly, itâs a cautionary tale: for those with chronic dissociation or unresolved trauma, these experiences can be overwhelming or even destabilizing if approached without preparation, interoceptive training, and long-term integration.
Through the lens of Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI), youâll learn how peak somatic experiences interact with neuroplasticity, the default mode network, implicit memory, and emotional patterning. Jennifer and Elisabeth share their personal journeys and offer practical tools to build capacity, safety, and support beforeâand afterâthese experiences.
Whether youâve already walked this path or are considering it, this episode will help you explore the power and risks of embodiment with reverence, curiosity, and care.
Topics discussed in this episode:What defines a peak somatic experience through the NSI lens
The science behind psychedelics, neuroplasticity, and the 5HT2A receptor
Why preparation is more than a checklistâitâs a relationship with your body
The role of the default mode network in identity, emotion, and trauma
Emotional breakthroughs: what they are and what theyâre not
How dissociation impacts your ability to benefit from embodiment work
Why "purging" trauma isn't the goalâand what to do instead
The risks of somatic experiences for trauma survivors without proper resourcing
Real-life stories of dysregulation and recovery after peak experiences
Building interoceptive awareness and emotional processing capacity
Why integration is the true work of healingânot the experience itself
Rethinking psychedelics as collective healing, not just personal growth

âIntegrationâ is a word that gets thrown around in the healing world, but what does it really mean?
In this powerful episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth and Jennifer unravel the true meaning of integration, not as a final step, but as the heart of sustained transformation. Without integration, even the most profound somatic release, emotional breakthrough, or psychedelic insight can quickly fade back into old survival patterns. The nervous system, always seeking safety and familiarity, needs time, rhythm, and repetition to embody change.We explore the neurobiological foundation of integration through the lens of Nneurosomatic Iintelligence. Youâll learn about neuroplasticity, minimum effective dose, how somatic preparation sets the stage for transformation, and the dangers of skipping integration in psychedelic or peak somatic experiences.
Jennifer shares her deeply personal journey through years of NSI, medicine work, and vision quest, offering lived insight into how patterns like unworthiness get rewired over time. Together, we invite you to rethink healing as an ongoing relationship with your nervous system, your intuition, and your body.
Whether you've had a mystical experience, a big emotional release, or a subtle insight in therapy, integration is how you make that change last. If you're navigating your own healing journey, or supporting others in theirs, this episode is essential listening.
Topics discussed in this episode:Why integration is the process, not the end
The brainâs need for pattern repetition and safety
What neuroplasticity is and how NSI uses it for lasting change
Somatic preparation before peak experiences like psychedelics
The three measurable types of psychedelic breakthroughs
Emotional, psychological, mystical, and somatic insights
Signs your nervous system isnât ready to receive a breakthrough
The dangers of bypassing integration
Practical examples of integrating new beliefs like worthiness
How NSI supports embodied transformation

Society has long framed addiction as a character flawâbut at Trauma Rewired, we know that couldnât be further from the truth. Addiction isnât about who we are at our core; itâs about how weâve learned to survive in chaotic, neglectful, or unsupported environments. As humans, weâre always seeking homeostasis. When we donât have the toolsâor the environmentâto support that, we adapt in the ways we know how.
Just as trauma and addiction can rewire the brain, healing and regulation can too. In todayâs episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer welcome a dear friend and special guest, Brooke Wolfe. Once an addiction recovery coach and now a somatic voice coach, Brooke helps women heal by reclaiming their voice. Together, they share their personal journeys with addiction and recovery, offering powerful reframes that challenge shame-based narratives.
They also explore the neurobiology of addictionâdiscussing the brain structures involved, the roles of the pain and pleasure systems, and how hormones like oxytocin shape our experience. Brooke reveals how working with the voice can unlock deeper emotional regulation and expand our capacity to feel. She also shares a few simple but transformative practices you wonât want to miss.
We may not be able to change what happened to us, but we can change how we relate to it. The outdated idea that addiction means something is wrong with you must be left behind. Addiction is a biological strategy for relief, not a moral failingâand when we view it through that lens, healing becomes possible.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, this episode is a must-listen. Share it with someone who needs itâand tune in for an inspiring, compassionate conversation.
Topics discussed in this episode:
Addiction as a biological strategy for relief and safety
How trauma impacts and rewires the brain
The reward circuitry of the brain and its role in addiction
The influence of attachment styles and the hormone oxytocin
How hypersensitivity can disconnect us from our bodies
Reclaiming connection and community as part of the healing process
The impact of high ACE scores and early childhood stressors
Self-sabotage as a form of protection and self-preservation
Somatic and practical healing practices for addiction
Using the voice as a powerful tool for regulation and transformation

Our brain and nervous systems are incredibly protectiveâthey can shield us from overwhelming stimuli by shutting out sensations. This mechanism plays a central role in depersonalization and derealization (DPDR), causing you to feel detached and like you are observing yourself from a distance. While these dissociative states can offer short-term protection, chronic experiences can lead to further dysregulation as unprocessed emotions accumulate.
In todayâs episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer dive into DPDR, explaining its impact on the brain and nervous system. They discuss why our senses become muted, its protective role, and how it shows up in those with childhood trauma. Elisabeth and Jennifer also share their personal experiences and how they found safety in their bodies to process their emotions.
While our brain and body protect us from overwhelming sensations, the stored experience remains within us. The journey to healing involves convincing our brain and body that itâs safe to reconnect with these feelings, building internal capacity to do so. Simply understanding DPDR isnât enough; we must communicate with our nervous system to reclaim our sense of self.If you've experienced depersonalization and derealization and are seeking healing insights, don't miss this episode!
Topics discussed in this episode:
What is depersonalization and derealization (DPDR)?
Why are our senses muted, yet still active, during DPDR?
The connection between CPTSD and DPDR
The high levels of dysregulation that occur with DPDR
Co-regulation versus nervous system disconnection
How derealization and depersonalization function as adaptive strategies
Why healing DPDR requires working directly with the nervous system
What happens when you finally start feeling again after DPDR
How to cultivate a sense of safety around your internal signals
The vagus nerve's role in healing DPDR and practical techniques to activate it

Did you know that Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) wasn't "discovered" but actually created? A group of male psychiatrists voted to define it as a diagnosis, and women, in particular, are disproportionately labeled with it, and itâs often weaponized against them. What if we told you that BPD isn't a disorder at all, but rather a logical and rational response to repressed emotions and shame caused by trauma, whether systemic or sexual? This is exactly what weâre unpacking in todayâs episode.
Join Elisabeth and Jennifer as they welcome Mollie Adler, podcaster, writer, and existential thinker, to dive deep into the issues surrounding the BPD diagnosis. Together, they discuss the stigma around BPD, the trauma as a potential cause, and how repressed emotions and shame fuel the symptoms. Also, Mollie shares her own experience of seeking a diagnosis, and why she didnât receive one.
What we explore in this episode is eye-opening: BPD is not a disorder, but a survival mechanism from unresolved trauma, one that can be healed by working to create safety in the nervous system and getting to the root cause.If this resonates with you, donât miss outâtune in to learn more and discover how healing is possible.
Topics discussed in this episode:
Mollie Adlerâs personal journey with BPD
The problems with the current diagnostic framework
The stigma surrounding personality disorders
How BPD characteristics contribute to long-term emotional and interpersonal instability
The systemic trauma linked to BPD
Understanding the inputs that create the output, and how to create change with BPD
The impact of sexual trauma and fawning in women with BPD
The history and legacy of hysteria
The power of releasing repressed emotions and toxic shame to heal
The privilege of reclaiming your BPD diagnosis
What it means to disidentify from your diagnosis

OCD is often reduced to intrusive thoughts and ritualistic behaviors, but let's be realâitâs so much more than that. These are just the surface-level symptoms of a much deeper survival mechanism rooted in childhood brain development and trauma stored in the nervous system. This limited view is part of what keeps so many stuck in the cycle of OCD, struggling to find true relief. But hereâs the truth: if we address the root of OCD, we can begin to heal and, over time, reduce those protective outputs like intrusive thoughts and rituals.
In this episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer bring Matt Bush back to the podcast for a powerful conversation about how OCD is a protective mechanism and how we can treat it by working directly with the nervous system. They explore the brain structures involved in OCD, how it affects our nervous system, and where it all begins in childhood. They also dive into why OCD leads to compulsive behaviors and the emotions that fuel them. Plus, theyâll break down the latest scientific studies on OCD treatment and share why and how it forms.
What if we could start viewing OCD as a feature, not a flaw? By doing this, we can begin to strip away the shame and truly understand it as the protective response it isâone thatâs embedded in our nervous system and can actually be worked with. It doesnât have to be a life sentence. Thereâs a way through OCD, and weâre here to show you how.
If you or someone you know is struggling with OCD and is ready for answers, be sure to tune in and share this episode. Letâs break the stigma and take the first step toward healing together.
Topics discussed in this episode:
Viewing OCD as a protective output
Definition of OCD
The impact of OCD on the brain and nervous system
How deep brain stimulation affects OCD in children
Key scientific studies and breakthroughs in understanding OCD
Why OCD develops in the first place
The connection between OCD and the freeze and fawn responses

Join us for a special re-release of a profound conversation with Kate Northrup, renowned author of "Do Less," an expert in creating easeful financial business strategies, and a NSI coach. This episode remains one of our most beloved, resonating deeply with many who grapple with the concept of rest in a culture that glorifies constant productivity as the path to success and abundance.
In this re-release, Elisabeth, Jennifer, and Kate explore how embracing rest and scaling back can promote significant business and financial growth, challenging the myth that more work equals more success. They candidly share personal experiences of burnout, forced breaks, and the surprising transformations they discovered when prioritizing rest. Kate introduces her insightful metaphor of treating rest as "active rest," akin to a cover crop that nourishes and prepares the soil for future growthâa concept pivotal for clients navigating dysregulation from rest.
Our society's ingrained belief that our worth is tied to productivity has led to widespread dysregulation, burnout, and dissatisfaction. Through this episode, we aim to dismantle this programming and advocate that doing less can lead to greater well-being and productivity. Just as the Earth cycles through seasons, so too should our lives. We are all interconnected after all.If youâre looking to regulate your nervous system and allow for more rest, be sure to check out this episode!
Topics discussed in this episode:The domino effect of dysregulation, from hypervigilance to burnout
The impact of insufficient sleep on the nervous system
Kate's embodied experience that revealed doing more is not always better
How pulling back and resting led to more growth for Trauma Rewired
Rethinking rest: the concept of active rest
Two strategies Kate uses to integrate rest into her business for sustainable growth
Overcoming limiting beliefs to dismantle the productivity-driven system weâve been conditioned to follow
Understanding how rest can feel dysregulating and how to navigate it if it does

In todayâs episode, weâre bringing you something truly transformative. Our host, Elisabeth Kristoff, recently joined Kate Northrup on her podcast, Plenty, for a raw and eye-opening conversation that dives deep into the intricate relationship between the nervous system and financial success. The insights were so powerful, we knew we had to share this rich discussion with the Trauma Rewired audience.
In this episode, weâre breaking down the nervous system like never before. Youâll learn how to expand its capacity for abundance, uncover the hidden connections between the nervous system and your money patterns, and discover tangible steps to heal and regulate it. Elisabeth and Kate also open up about their own personal healing journeys, sharing how radically different their lives are today after rewiring their nervous systems. They offer invaluable advice on recognizing and managing anxiety, andâperhaps most importantlyâhow to identify when your nervous system is out of balance.
Understanding the nervous system is foundational to how we show up in the world. It governs everything from our ability to thrive in relationships to how we respond to stress and abundance. If we view our automatic reactions as protective mechanisms that can be rewired, using tools like NSI, we can radically shift our capacity for resilience and long-term fulfillment. This episode will challenge you to rethink how you engage with your nervous system, and how healing it can unlock the life you truly desire.
Tune in to hear more about nervous system healing and an exclusive offer for Trauma Rewired listeners that you donât want to miss!

Why is it that financial abundance comes easier for some, while others struggle? What if we told you it's not about how hard you work for money, but about how your nervous system is patterned? Money is a tricky subject, because it is the foundation for our survival and security. So we can unconsciously create unhealthy relationships with money that are formed from what we have been taught about money at a young age, and unhealed trauma that still lives in our body around money, sex, and parental figures.
In todayâs episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by Preston Smiles, a transformational leader and author, who helps heal traumas to cultivate financial abundance. They touch on everything from childhood trauma around money and sex, as well as what financial trauma looks like, and the invisible thread we can follow to learn where our scarcity or lack around finances stems from. Preston also conveys how creating financial success is all about healing our traumas to create a relaxed body, and a clear channel for money to flow in easily. This episode is filled with tangible exercises that you can start today to help create a clear channel to allow in, not only financial abundance, but joy and calm.
If we reframe our mind to think of money as energy, we can start to see how attracting it comes down to being open enough to receive it. The way we do this is a personal journey of healing and acceptance of the fact that we are worthy of financial abundance. We just need to believe it to receive it!

A common financial trauma many children in the Western world experience

The statistics on early childhood sexual abuse are heartbreaking. One in four girls and one in thirteen boys have experienced some form of childhood sexual traumaâat least the cases that get reported. It's hard to wrap your head around how something so dark can be happening so often. This is why talking about childhood sexual trauma is so difficult and often carries so much shameâit feels so unimaginable, even when it happens to you. But we know that shame thrives in silence, and the first step in healing is unpacking that trauma.
In todayâs episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer sit down with Lovey Bradley, an NSI-certified practitioner, trauma therapist, and brain-based coach, to talk about the lasting impact of sexual trauma on our lives. Together, they explore how deeply trauma affects the bodyâfrom freeze responses and dissociation to bracing, pelvic floor tension, and painâand how these experiences shape our lives. They also open up about their personal journeys and the ways theyâve worked to re-pattern their nervous systems with healing modalities like NSI, helping them heal and thrive after early childhood trauma.
When shame has been your constant companion, it can feel impossible to set boundaries and reclaim your sense of self. But healing is possible. Lovey, Elisabeth, and Jennifer are living proof of that. Our bodies are always sending us signals on how to heal; the key is learning how to listen.
If this episode resonates with you, whether youâve experienced this trauma yourself or know someone who has, we invite you to listen and share.
Topics discussed in this episode:Sobering statistics around sexual trauma in the population
How the freeze response shows up in early childhood sexual trauma
Why the freeze response is actually a survival mechanism
Loveyâs experience with becoming aware of her own freeze response pattern
The most common ways sexual trauma shows up in our lives
Pelvic floor contractions and how they affect intimacy
How dissociation shows up in those whoâve experienced childhood trauma
The ways our bodies naturally repress emotions, leading to dysregulation
The role of shame in childhood sexual trauma
Why setting boundaries feels so challenging for those affected by early trauma
Healing from trauma with modalities like NSI, and what life can look like on the other side

When unresolved trauma lingers in our bodies, it often manifests as chronic health issues or diseases, such as cancer. The medical community is just beginning to uncover the powerful link between trauma, ACE scores, and cancer. With trauma-informed care now being integrated into medical practices, weâre seeing a shift towards more holistic approaches to healingâsomething the healing community has long known. This is a major breakthrough, and it brings us closer to addressing the root cause of illness, not just the symptoms.
In this episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer sit down with Dr. Aleksandra Filipovic, a medical doctor, oncologist, and scientist in cancer cell biology, whoâs at the forefront of creating holistic treatments for cancer and immune-related conditions. Dr. Filipovic shares her insights on ACE scores and their impact on both our physical health and society. She explores the deep connection between mental and physical health, especially in relation to our immune systems, and how nervous system work can be a game-changer in healing chronic illnesses.
Dr. Filipovic also opens up about her personal journey with chronic illness and how it led her to develop a trauma-informed practice that integrates nervous system regulation to promote healing. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the nervous systemâs role in chronic health issues and how NSI can be used as a tool to address these issues.
Itâs easy to blame our bodies when chronic health issues arise, but the truth is, these responses are often a call for healing. By reframing how we view health and learning to work with our nervous systems, we can uncover the root causes of disease and begin the journey to true healing.
If this resonates with you, tune in to this episode for more insights into trauma-informed healing and the powerful connection between mind, body, and immune health. Donât miss it!
Topics discussed in this episode:Dr. Aleksandra Filipovicâs personal healing journey and its influence on her practice
What trauma truly means and how it affects our health
The prevalence of high ACE scores in society and their long-term impact
The deep connection between mental and physical health

Did you know that women are twice as likely to experience depression, yet less than 40 percent of research includes them? This statistic is staggering, highlighting society's inadequate attention to women's mental health and the complexities of their nervous systems. Often overlooked in scientific studies, women's experiences, particularly regarding menstrual cycles, create significant gaps in understanding their physiological, emotional, and hormonal health. This omission, influenced by societal conditioning and patriarchal suppression, leads to misdiagnosis, unanswered questions, and pervasive shame.However, there's a growing shift towards understanding the female nervous system.
In today's episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by Veronica Rottman, founder of Soma School and an expert in somatics and the female nervous system, to explore how the female nervous system is uniquely structured and the challenges women face because of it. Their conversation dives deep into the complex science of hormones and societal influences, uncovering how these factors contribute to shame and perfectionism among women. They also examine the male-centric approach of mental health and medical systems, which often overlookâand even demonizeâthe female experience.From an early age, women are conditioned to feel shame about their bodies and emotions. However, a growing awareness is challenging these outdated norms. This shift is essential for uncovering the root causes of many mental and physical health issues that are unique to the female nervous system.
If this resonates with you and you'd like to learn more, tune in!
Topics discussed in this episode:Veronicaâs journey to healing her own nervous system through somatic practices
The history and evolution of womenâs health
Understanding the multilayered and complex nature of the female nervous system
The differences between oxytocin and dopamine
An exploration of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)
The role of a dysregulated oxytocin system in attachment

Receiving a diagnosis can be a life-altering experience, especially when it triggers feelings of shame. Shame can create a whirlwind of emotionsâunworthiness, failure, guilt, and lossâwhich compounds the stress of dealing with a diagnosis. These emotions form a toxic cycle that exacerbates the condition, leading to significant nervous system dysregulation. Often, it's difficult to pinpoint this dysregulation because of our innate resilience in survival mode. That's why it's crucial to bring shame into the conversation when discussing diagnoses, and create a dialogue around its impact.
In todayâs episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by Alexandra Harbushka, who has reclaimed her power after a herpes diagnosis and is actively breaking the stigma through her podcast Life With Herpes. Alexandra opens up about the deep despair she felt upon her diagnosisâthe hopelessness, helplessness, and belief that she was unworthy of love. This dark cloud clouded her life until she made the conscious decision to change her mindset. By cultivating self-love and nervous system regulation, she was able to take control of her diagnosis and work through the shame attached to it.
Elisabeth and Jennifer also share their personal journeys with mental health and cancer diagnoses, exploring how the emotional journey is similar regardless of the condition. They discuss the steps they took to confront their shame, regulate their nervous systems, and ultimately find empowerment.
Shame wreaks havoc on both our nervous and immune systems. It keeps us hidden, isolated, and paralyzed. When youâre faced with something as daunting as a diagnosis, healing the shame around it can seem like an insurmountable task. But it's possible. By connecting with others, regulating our nervous systems, and expressing our emotions, we can shift our perception of a diagnosis from something to be ashamed of to something that can be embraced as a gift.
This episode offers practical strategies for overcoming shame and regulating the nervous system in the face of a diagnosis. If this resonates with you, donât miss it!
Topics discussed in this episode:
Alexandraâs herpes diagnosis story
The small steps Alexandra took to move beyond her âEeyore phaseâ
The role social survival plays in reinforcing shame
Community as a healing antidote to shame surrounding diagnosis
How self-sabotage manifests after a herpes diagnosis
The cycle of fight, flight, and freeze responses in the face of diagnosis
How shame shows up in the body and its physical manifestations
Ways to regulate the nervous system and move through shame
How shame hides through protective behaviors
Uncoupling your identity from your diagnosis
Why discernment in sharing your diagnosis isnât the same as shame

Did you know that nearly half of all Americans will experience at least one traumatic brain injury (TBI) in their lifetime? Shockingly, many of these cases go unnoticed or undiagnosed. The symptoms can initially be subtle and easily mistaken for other chronic conditions like CPTS. Without proper diagnosis, individuals can face immense confusion, wondering why treatments arenât working as expected.
This is why raising awareness about TBI is crucial. Itâs about helping those affected recognize their condition early on, gaining deeper self-understanding, and finding the right path to effective treatment.
In todayâs episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by Amanda Smith, an applied neurology pain and performance coach and NSI practitioner with extensive expertise in the field. Together, they dive into the complex layers of TBI. They cover its foundational aspects, how it differs from conditions like CPTS, its impact on childhood development, and the brainâs altered nutritional needs post-injury.
This conversation sheds light on a topic often overlooked yet profoundly impactful in many Americansâ lives. Awareness is half the battle when it comes to identifying and treating TBI amidst the array of potential health concerns, including CPTS. Our brains and bodies are resilient, and with timely intervention, coping with TBI is not only possible but hopeful.
If this resonates with you and youâre curious to learn more, donât miss this episode!

Have you ever wondered why some individuals bounce back from trauma while others develop PTSD? The answer might be tied to how our brains encode and process fear memories. According to recent research, resilience isn't just psychologicalâitâs closely tied to the brain's ability to adapt to stress and process trauma.
On todayâs episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by Matt Bush, founder of Next Level Neuro and lead educator in the Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI) course, who brings a wealth of knowledge on the latest research in PTSD and trauma healing. Together, they unravel the fascinating science of fear memoryâhow it begins as a broad, generalized response, and over time, becomes specific, tied to particular events. But what happens when that process doesnât work quite right? How does the brain get stuck in trauma? And what can we do about it? They take a close look at the key brain areas involved in emotional regulation, memory consolidation, and resilience, including the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and cerebellum.
Whether youâre a trauma survivor or a practitioner working with clients, this episode offers profound insights into how trauma is stored in the body and brainâand how you can support yourself or others in healing. Matt, Elizabeth, and Jennifer break down complex neuroscience concepts into practical, actionable advice, all while emphasizing the importance of mind-body connection in trauma recovery. Healing is a journey, but with the right tools and knowledge, you can rewire your nervous system, integrate your memories, and build resilience in the face of adversity.
This episode is packed with practical, science-backed strategies to help you understand the neuroscience of trauma healing. You donât want to miss this one!Topics discussed in this episode:
What the latest research on PTSD has discovered
âWhat is needed to change a broad fear based memory into a specific episodic memory
The hippocampusâ role in memory formation and PTSD outputs
The differences and similarities between PTSD and CPTS
Why EMDR works more effectively for PTSD vs. CPTS
Peak somatic experiences and their ability to tap into the broader memory store
Why embodiment is the key to combatting dissociation
How the cerebellum plays a role in regulating emotional and social outputs

We often think of healing as an individual journeyâgoing inward to process unresolved trauma, grief, and pain from our past. But what about collective trauma, grief, and pain? We rarely consider the healing that must take place beyond ourselves, addressing the unprocessed wounds we carry as a community. True healing requires creating safety both within and around us, allowing us to move beyond our personal experiences and contribute to something greater than our own individual worlds.
On todayâs episode, weâre joined by embodiment facilitator, political organizer, therapist, and podcast host, Prentis Hemphill. As the founder of The Embodiment Institute and The Black Embodiment Initiative, and host of Becoming The People, Prentis brings deep wisdom and presence to the conversation. They sit down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful discussion on healing in community, the role of embodiment in collective transformation, and the challenges of accountability.
Prentis also shares invaluable insights on navigating fear, processing collective grief, and staying grounded in truthâespecially when sharing your gifts with the world on a larger scale.
On Trauma Rewired, often discuss how embodiment and healing requires repetition, practice, and safe spaces. It also takes courageâespecially when facilitating collective healing. Prentis embodies this work in a profound way, so donât miss todayâs episode to hear their insights and much more!
Topics discussed in this episode:
How embodiment unfolds uniquely for each individual
The healing journey as a shared, communal experience
Barriers to accountability and how to navigate them
The nervous systemâs role in shaping our ability to relate, reflect, and grow
How Prentis balances visibility with safety and grounding
The many forms of fear, both individually and collectively
The impact of being denied the space to grieve
The dual responsibilityâand giftâof inner and collective healing
Extending grace to others on their healing journeys
The power of presence and why it matters now more than ever

When a child is forced to carry the emotional or practical burdens of their caregivers, it can result in lasting trauma that often manifests in adulthood as emotional repression, perfectionism, and various mental health challenges. Parentified children are deprived of their natural developmental experiencesâplay, exploration, and carefree livingâwhich are essential for discovering themselves and their environment. Healing these deep-rooted wounds requires addressing where the trauma resides in both the body and mind, a process explored through neurosomatic techniques.
In todayâs episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer dive into the different types of parentification and the long-term impacts it can have on a childâs emotional and relational well-being. They share personal stories of their own experiences with parentification and how theyâve worked through their trauma using neurosomatic methods and the principle of minimum effective dose. The episode also unpacks the roles of shame and guilt as common byproducts of parentification, offering insights into how to repattern these emotional responses to build healthier relationships.
While the effects of parentification can run deep, healing is possible. By recognizing how it shows up in our lives and working with our nervous systems to cultivate safety, we can set boundaries and honor our needs. This process creates the foundation for genuine healing and growth.
If this topic resonates with you, tune in to learn more about breaking free from the cycle of parentification and reclaiming your sense of self.
Topics discussed in this episode:
The two types of parentification and how they differ
The patterns of compensation that develop in parentified children
How parentification impacts the nervous system
The connection between parentification and gut dysfunction
The nuanced nature of parentification and its complexities
The role of shame and guilt in the experience of parentification
Adult relationships that mirror parent-child dynamics
How to repattern internal reactions through neurosomatic techniques
The importance of learning to reparent yourself for healing and growth
