"What can I do to shift my nervous system, so that these critical thoughts aren't there all the time?"
In this episode, which is a follow-on from episode 43, I explore the mind-body connection when it comes to trauma. We chat about coming back into the body, what role the mind also plays, why our thoughts are still important alongside our feelings.
I explain what happens, not just in the body on the somatic level, but also the types of thoughts we have when we are in a hijacked trauma response such as the fight/flight and freeze response.
We chatted about:
- Tracking your nervous system
- Knowing your capacity
- Creating space for the body and the mind
- Our trauma responses in the body
- The fight/flight and freeze response
- The importance of having options and choices
- Brain fog and confusion
- Isolation
- The symptoms of the freeze response
- Polyvagal theory
- The emotional experience of the different trauma responses
- The inner critic
- Regulating resources I use to support a trauma response
