  • Diagnosis and Shame
    Receiving a diagnosis can be a life-altering experience, especially when it triggers feelings of shame. Shame can create a whirlwind of emotions—unworthiness, failure, guilt, and loss—which 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 today’s 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 diagnosis—the 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 you’re 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, don’t miss it! Topics discussed in this episode: Alexandra’s herpes diagnosis story The small steps Alexandra took to move beyond her “Eeyore phase” 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 isn’t the same as shame   REWIRE RETREAT www.rewireretreat.org This spring, gift yourself the transformative experience of our Trauma Rewired Retreat in the tranquil gateway of Texas Hill Country.   To connect with Alexandra, head to her Instagram page here: https://www.instagram.com/alexandraharbushka   Check out Alexandra’s podcast Life With Herpes here: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/life-with-herpes   Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the next cohort now! https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com   Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com   Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired   Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846   FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired   This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique https://www.podcastboutique.com Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

  • Traumatic Brain Injury and Complex Trauma
    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 aren’t working as expected. This is why raising awareness about TBI is crucial. It’s about helping those affected recognize their condition early on, gaining deeper self-understanding, and finding the right path to effective treatment. In today’s 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 brain’s altered nutritional needs post-injury. This conversation sheds light on a topic often overlooked yet profoundly impactful in many Americans’ 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 you’re curious to learn more, don’t miss this episode! Topics discussed in this episode: The foundational concepts of TBI Why TBI goes underreported in the US Populations most affected by TBI The interconnectedness of CPTS and TBI symptoms How to differentiate between CPTS and TBI outputs The implications of mild traumatic brain injury in childhood How NSI amplified Amanda’s work as a neurology pain and performance coach The importance of having a framework when working with TBI clients How the brain needs more fuel after TBI The first place to start when trying to understand your TBI Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the next cohort now! https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com   To learn more about Amanda Smith’s work, check out her coaching website here: https://www.amandaswaytraining.com/   Connect with Amanda Smith on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/amandas_way/   REWIRE RETREAT Ladies, This spring, gift yourself the transformative experience of our Trauma Rewired Retreat in the tranquil gateway of Texas Hill Country.  www.rewireretreat.org   Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com   Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired   Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846   FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired   This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique https://www.podcastboutique.com Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

  • PTSD, Fear, and Memory
    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 psychological—it’s closely tied to the brain's ability to adapt to stress and process trauma. On today’s 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 memory—how it begins as a broad, generalized response, and over time, becomes specific, tied to particular events. But what happens when that process doesn’t 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 you’re a trauma survivor or a practitioner working with clients, this episode offers profound insights into how trauma is stored in the body and brain—and 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 don’t want to miss this one! Topics discussed in this episode: What the latest research on PTSD has discovered  What is needed to change a broad fear based memory into a specific episodic memory The hippocampus’ 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   Studies discussed in this conversation: https://neurosciencenews.com/ptsd-fear-episodic-memory-27895/ https://neurosciencenews.com/cerebellum-social-cognition.../ https://neurosciencenews.com/child-trauma-thoughts-severity-27841/.     Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the next cohort now! https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com   Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com   Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired   Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846   FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired   This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique https://www.podcastboutique.com Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

  • Bridging Individual and Collective Healing Through Embodiment
    We often think of healing as an individual journey—going 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 today’s episode, we’re 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 truth—especially 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 courage—especially when facilitating collective healing. Prentis embodies this work in a profound way, so don’t miss today’s 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 system’s 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 responsibility—and gift—of inner and collective healing Extending grace to others on their healing journeys The power of presence and why it matters now more than ever   To learn more about The Embodiment Institute check on their website here: https://www.theembodimentinstitute.org/   To learn more about Prentis Hemphill, head to their Instagram page here: https://www.instagram.com/prentishemphill/?hl=en   Contact us about private Rewire Neuro-Somatic Coaching: https://brainbased-wellness.com/rewire-private-neuro-somatic-coaching/   Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now! https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com   Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com   Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired   Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846   FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired   This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique https://www.podcastboutique.com Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.
