Complex Trauma, Relationships, and Your Nervous System
13 februari 2023 · 58 min
Do you have trouble getting out of your head and into your body? Does your trauma affect your ability to make deep connections with others? For today's guest, following a neurosomatic intelligence framework allowed her and her partner to build a stronger relationship, while learning more about themselves in the process. Lees meer
Sharing her NSI experience with hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisbeth Kristoff is Dr. Jolie Hamilton, a relationship expert who now brings neurosomatic intelligence into her practice. They discuss how our nervous systems interact with each other, healing generational trauma, and the power of using NSI tools anytime, anywhere.
Our nervous systems have the power to comfort or dysregulate ourselves and others, but it's important to remember that dysregulation is inevitable in any relationship. The key is to expand the capacity of our nervous system, and you can learn that from this interview.
If you have an insecure attachment style, want to try NSI tools with your partner or just want to understand the science of this topic, listen to this episode!
Topics discussed in this episode:
Dr. Jolie's progress after connecting with NSI/somatics
How Dr. Jolie's clients use NSI tools to combat triggers
Interacting with each other's nervous systems
Exploring NSI tools with a partner
The cycle of trauma bonding
Rewiring patterns and psychodynamic theory
Healing generational trauma
The collective unconscious
Warring internal parts of ourselves

What is Applied Neurology?
30 januari 2023 · 51 min
If you've followed this podcast for even just a few episodes, you've heard about complex PTSD, the effects of trauma on the developmental brain, and how maladaptive behaviors form. Most importantly, you've learned that long-lasting change requires integration, a process supported by applied neurology. Lees meer
Today, find out what applied neurology is and why it's crucial to healing trauma from Trauma Rewired hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness. You'll learn about the nervous system, the effects of trauma on our input systems, and how all the systems in our body work together to keep us safe — even when it has a negative impact on our health.
Elisabeth and Jennifer also explain how neurosomatic intelligence tools are a true and practical way to change our brain's patterns. Addressing any trauma-caused deficits in your input system with nervous system training works for them and their clients, and it can work for you too.
Listen in to start understanding what's going on in your body, and get yourself one step closer to healing your traumas!
Topics discussed in this episode:
Defining applied neurology and why it's important
Neurosomatic intelligence as an input driven system
Performance vs. protective outputs

Complex Trauma and the Developmental Brain (cont'd)
23 januari 2023 · 53 min
"We all know this phrase, 'if you wanna get out of the hole, stop digging.' But when you're in complex PTSD, the brain is digging and you can't make it stop. It just keeps going back to these same experiences and these same feelings. It shows up in long-term development of the nervous system. It shows up in the physical body. It shows up because we don't know how to stop the digging." Lees meer
Today, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness are again joined by co-founder of the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching Certification Program, Matt Bush. During the second half of their discussion on complex trauma and the developing brain, you'll learn why it's so hard to break the brain's unhealthy patterns and how you can "stop the digging."
In this episode, Matt explains how the three areas of the brain make a framework to process emotions, regulate emotions, and incite action. Trauma Rewired has mentioned many times that without integration, long-lasting change is difficult, but without the survival brain and emotional brain working together, integration, specifically vertical integration, is impossible. This may sound overwhelming, but the good news change IS possible because of neuroplasticity.
If you want a deep understanding of vertical integration and how trauma affects the developing brain, tune in to learn more!
Topics discussed in this episode:
What is vertical integration?
Our brain's protective mechanisms and what triggers them
Integration of emotional work and body work
How developmental trauma affects vertical integration
Dysregulation between the brain's right and left hemisphere
Effects of imbalances in the nervous system
The SAID principle in relation to nervous system imbalance
Creating safety to break the pattern of dysregulation
Benefits of learning more about trauma and the brain

Complex Trauma and the Developmental Brain
16 januari 2023 · 40 min
"Impaired integration is such a hallmark of the traumatized brain. It disrupts our ability to balance our nervous system. Neurobiologist Dan Siegel says that at its very essence, the purpose of trauma therapy is to restore brain integration." Lees meer
On today's episode, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness discuss the neurological impacts of trauma, specifically how disassociation and fragmentation affect our brain integration. They're joined by Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro and co-founder of the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching Certification Program.

Trauma and the Inability to Rest
10 januari 2023 · 42 min
We briefly talked about the death cycle of winter and rebirth in the "Trauma & the Holidays" episode, but today, Trauma Rewired is addressing how trauma inhibits our ability to rest — which is a crucial element to healing and changing maladaptive behaviors. Lees meer
Hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness discuss the consequences of poor rest, including derailing the brain's functioning. Similar to when you're fatigued and at your full capacity, constantly running on high alert can make us more susceptible to triggers and result in stress responses.
Most of us already know that sleep is necessary for our overall health and wellbeing, but letting the mind and body truly rest is also crucial to healing. Memory integration and nervous system regulation are infinitely harder to achieve when we don't leave time for rest and recovery.
Tune in to learn why slowing down is sometimes hard to do, and how to support yourself in the process!
Topics discussed in this episode:
How trauma affects our internal states
Why rest is crucial to our health, but can also feel threatening
Actions Elisabeth is taking to change her behaviors and let herself rest
Reasons it's difficult to rest and recover, and its effects
The loop of trauma and inability to rest
Trauma and Stress responses
Experiences with insomnia
Is rest a privilege?
Rest vs. freeze/shut down
The role of rest in the healing process

Core Beliefs and Resolutions
4 januari 2023 · 49 min
It's a common tradition to make resolutions in the New Year, most often relating to our bodies and our habits. New Year's resolutions usually have an end goal of making us better people, but there's a reason many people fail to make long-term changes. Lees meer
During today's episode on core beliefs and resolutions, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness explain why it's not so easy for us to make these grand, albeit positive, changes. They discuss the unrealistic expectations we put on ourselves, as well as the neurology of core beliefs, including how these beliefs drive the behaviors we're trying to change.
You'll learn why the human body finds change threatening, how you can create safety in change, and what more is needed in order to prepare yourself for change. Real examples will help you discover how to then integrate these changes into daily practice.
To help you get started, this episode ends with a visualization practice to add to your toolkit!
Topics discussed in this episode:
Unrealistic expectations post-holiday season
What prevents us from changing our bad behaviors
NSI perspective of core beliefs
How core beliefs affect our filtration system
What can happen when you're not ready to make a big change

Beliefs, Future Self Attunement, and your Nervous System
20 december 2022 · 50 min
"I think a lot of people try to move into manifestation and belief work, and can end up being really frustrated and down on themselves. It can be hard when you don't also have the tools to work with your nervous system." Lees meer
In this second part of the Trauma Rewired belief series, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain-Based Wellness are joined by Angella Jaber, an NSI practitioner who's helping clients attune to their future self energy and create lasting change. During today's discussion on the nervous system, they'll explain the complex ways our past traumas keep us in a state of dysregulation, and why self-acceptance is key to truly healing.
Angella also shares her story of listening to her inner voice to live her authentic life, and bridging the work of nervous system healing and spirituality. You'll also hear how applied neurology and NSI tools have helped them find self-awareness and work through the trauma responses, or protective outputs, not serving them.
As Elisabeth states above, our growth is limited when we don't understand the way our nervous system operates. Tune in to start learning!
Topics discussed in this episode:
Angella's journey to following her inner guidance
Combining NSI training with future self energy
Creating and preparing for permanent change
How she guides clients in future self attunement

Belief Rewire: Our Gift to You
13 december 2022 · 34 min
From last week's episode on perfectionism to topics like CPTSD elements or intuition, Trauma Rewired has discussed numerous issues that result from trauma. You've heard a lot about the nervous system and how important it is to regulate it, but how exactly do you do that? Lees meer
During this first installment of a three-part series on core beliefs, you'll learn how to deconstruct the beliefs that drive your harmful behaviors and create a loop of dysregulation. For example, Elisabeth shares her holiday-related anxiety that is leading to trauma responses like perfectionism; and Jennifer helps her trace back these beliefs and rewire the nervous system — just like they would any client.
In the spirit of the holiday season, Jennifer and Elisabeth will also be sharing two neuro drills that can bring you to a feeling of safety when in a state of high stress and dysregulation. This will enable you to challenge the beliefs that have a negative impact on your health and healing.
Change becomes possible when your brain and nervous system are on the same page, and listening to this episode will help get you there!
Topics discussed in this episode:
How core beliefs can develop in childhood
Changing limiting beliefs from a neurosomatic perspective
An example of tracing back a belief
Driving behaviors of limited beliefs
How the body feels accepting limiting beliefs vs. the opposite belief
Taking action and changing behavior

Perfectionism: A Trauma Response
22 november 2022 · 52 min
Our society rewards those who work hard, appear to never make mistakes, and seem to have everything under control. We've collectively decided on what perfect looks like and attributed perfectionism with the ideal person. Lees meer
What if we told you that perfectionism is actually a protective measure used to prevent oneself from feelings of rejection, abandonment, and worthlessness? These words don't quite scream "perfect" do they?
Trauma Rewired hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth have touched upon this trauma response before, but today's episode is a deep dive into how it can develop and lead to harmful avoidance behaviors. They deconstruct perfectionism, including defining the three types of perfectionism and how it interplays with CPTSD elements like the inner critic.
You'll learn the many health consequences that the chronic stress of perfectionism can cause, and how to distinguish excellence from perfectionism. Jennifer and Elisabeth also share their experience with perfectionism, and how it can push us into burnout or freeze states.
Perfectionism is not an attainable goal, which makes it debilitating and a hindrance to healing trauma. To take the first step towards moving out of perfectionism, tune in!
Topics discussed in this episode:
Defining the 3 types of perfectionism
Perfectionism as a trauma response
Jennifer's example of setting yourself up for failure
The effects of perfectionism on our health
Maladaptive coping mechanisms for perfectionism
How to recognize perfectionist behaviors and thinking
Jennifer on taking action against her perfectionism
Trauma healing, neurosomatic intelligence, and integration
Limiting beliefs push the loop of perfectionism

Ayahuasca, Integration, and Neurosomatic Intelligence
11 november 2022 · 21 min
The many gifts received through ceremony with ayahuasca from start to finish cannot be measured within the confines of the days in a retreat. The potential reveals itself during ceremony, but the gifts are found once you're released into the world again, armed with awareness. However, potential is just that. How do you take that potential and transform it into healing? Lees meer
Integration after ceremony is arguably the most crucial part of the whole process, because this is where you train your body to receive and transmute the heavy dysregulated energy you've been carrying in your nervous system your entire life, into regulation.
Our host, Jennifer Wallace, recognized this after an extremely eye opening ceremony, that was in fact dysregulating in nature, so she knew there was a lot of work to be done post ceremony.
Integrating the new information into her life in order for her body to feel safe was one of the greatest gifts she gave to herself, because now it has helped her create the big life she knew she could live. Jennifer is able to live fully expressed, and if she isn't, she has the tools to bring her back to that aligned place.
Jennifer has learned the tools to integrate the lessons that come up during plant medicine ceremonies and she wants to share her methods with you.
Tune in to hear the importance of integration and how Jennifer was able to achieve it by healing her nervous system.
Topics discussed in this episode:
The importance of preparation (ie. dieta) prior to ceremony
Shifts that could take place in your life during ceremony
Being open to all that comes up during ceremony
Who are you after releasing trauma?
Working with and transmuting anger
Why it is important to integrate after transformation

28 oktober 2022 · 41 min
Trauma Rewired has addressed many issues that arise when trauma is stored in the body for years, decades, or even a lifetime. One of them is that this type of chronic stress can lead to autoimmune diseases, heart disease and more, as well as intensify pain experienced from these serious health issues. Lees meer
A dysregulated nervous system resulting from trauma leads to emotional and physical pain, but how do you heal yourself from trauma, while also fighting for your physical health? Tune in to hear how both plant medicine and Western treatments can work together to heal the different facets of your health.
It's been two years since Anna Gieselman was on the podcast to speak about her lupus journey, an autoimmune disease, but she's back today to update us!

The Arcana, Closing Ceremony
21 oktober 2022 · 15 min
It's the fourth and final day of Jennifer's ayahuasca retreat and, in this short and sweet episode, she shares why she bridges neurosomatic intelligence with psychedelic integration. Lees meer
By training and reprogramming your nervous system, you will discover that anything is possible. You already embody the capacity for change. Add a powerhouse plant medicine like ayahuasca, which only increases that capacity, and there is the potential for infinite transformation.

Social Anxiety: CPTSD Component
18 oktober 2022 · 38 min
Humans are a social species, and we crave human connection and intimacy. Even when our nervous system has been severely affected by trauma, we ultimately need to socialize in order to feel fulfilled and meet all of our survival needs. Lees meer
But how does someone living in a chronic state of stress, cycling through the stages of a dysregulated nervous system, balance this need for socialization while also regulating our emotions and behaviors during extreme, instinctual panic?
Elisabeth Kristof of Brain-Based Wellness is again joining host Jennifer to discuss social anxiety, the fourth characteristic of CPTSD. You'll learn what social anxiety is through the filter of trauma, and how it connects with the other components of CPTSD: toxic shame, inner critic, and emotional flashbacks.
In this episode, Jennifer and Elisabeth share their personal experiences with social anxiety, including what physiological symptoms they've endured and how they dealt with them using both harmful self-soothing behaviors and healthy regulation tools.
Tune in for a deeper understanding of how social anxiety and the other components of CPTSD interconnect, and free resources to help you find the balance between self-care and socializing!

The Wolf & the Buried Secret
30 september 2022 · 25 min
In this short episode, Jennifer recounts her powerful healing experience at an ayahuasca retreat on the beaches of Costa Rica. Contrary to Western medicine, ayahuasca treatment focuses on the energetic body to open a pathway to healing. Lees meer
Containing the potent psychoactive DMT, this psychedelic is brewed with tea and drank to induce altered states of consciousness. Ayahuasca can bring undiscovered truths to the surface, and help you revisit memories that shaped you at a young age - and this is exactly what our host experienced.
After learning about plant medicine and listening to others experiences with ayahuasca, Jennifer decided it was her turn to give it a try. Healing requires support, and on this retreat she had the help of two healers to guide her through the use of icaros, or magical songs.
She was able to confront her past, gain insight into her life, and most importantly, release feelings she had been holding on to for decades. Jennifer was able to do all of this in a positive way, not reliving her pain but visiting it with a different point of view.
If you're interested in plant medicine for healing trauma, this episode is a must-listen! Disclaimer: this episode has multiple mentions of childhood sexual trauma.

Emotional Flashbacks: CPTSD Element Lees meer
Season 02, Episode 21
The nervous system is our body's control center, telling us when to move, think, and breathe. Disorders like CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder), put our bodies in a state of dysregulation that can have profound effects on how we feel and react.
Human emotions are a full system experience, affecting the entire body by way of hormones, sympathetic and parasympathetic stress responses. Big emotions can be overwhelming for those with CPTSD, initiating a maladaptive survival response.
In today's episode, Elisabeth Kristof is on the show to discuss one element of this new diagnosis: emotional flashbacks. There are some misconceptions around this term, but understanding it is an important step to living a better life without the burden of trauma.
Emotional flashbacks are not regression, but rather a real-time response often created in childhood. Our brains perceive the world through the filter of our experience, so those with trauma will respond to triggers with the neurological patterns they developed as children.
Elisabeth spent years stuck in an emotional flashback state, and only saw true change through working with her emotional body to regulate her nervous system. The cognitive mind cannot overpower emotional flashbacks, so you must create your own toolkit through self-awareness.
Relieving the trauma is not necessary, but it is imperative to express your feelings in order to move on to the next step in your healing journey.
Tune in to learn how to get started!

Definitions of emotional flashbacks and the neuro-somatic perspective
Emotions and symptoms related to emotional flashbacks
What can trigger an emotional flashback

The Magic Tea & the Tumor Lees meer
Season 02, Episode 20
We, as humans, are more powerful than we can fathom. We have the ability to heal with our minds and our bodies at such high levels, only when given the opportunity.
Sometimes, to get to that awareness, it takes opening up parts of our minds that have been dormant for a long time. That is where plant medicine comes in.
Plant medicine, when used in a safe and controlled environment, has the ability to open our mind and heart up in ways that can transform us from the inside out.
This is something host Jennifer Wallace experienced after receiving her breast cancer diagnosis, and was called to plant medicine treatment. The treatment had a profound affect on Jennifer, in that it changed the way she saw her breast cancer and inevitably the way she healed it.
This is a powerful episode that will open your mind to a new way of healing, integrating plant medicine and neurosomatic intelligence to create a powerful combination of intense transformation and healing.
Tune in to hear Jennifer's story and how you can connect with her to start your healing journey.
Topics discussed in this episode:
How plant medicine benefited Jennifer in her healing
Jennifer's story of her breast cancer diagnosis
Jennifer's first plant medicine experience
The power of our body and mind

What is CPTSD?
20 september 2022 · 39 min
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is only recently beginning to be recognized thanks to the Healing Revolution but its roots actually go back to Freud in the 1800's. Complex CPTSD sets itself apart from PTSD by five distinguishing trauma responses and likely stems from an adverse childhood experience, a developmental trauma, a failed environment. Lees meer
With brain science coming so far in the past twenty years we are now more clear about how trauma affects a developing young brain. Stress, trauma, and unresolved stress responses create a dysfunctional brain. When our bodies are more stressed it can create a chronic illness or disease state within the body. It's all just one giant loop.
How can we understand this in our own life? Maybe you will find yourself within Jennifer and Elisabeth's stories or their clients' stories. And understand what you may have thought was a personality trait is actually a trauma response.
This conversation discusses
What is CPTSD
The difference between CPTSD & PTSD
Dr. Judith Herman, Dr. Pete Walker
Emotional Flashbacks, Toxic Shame, Self Abandonment, Inner Critic, and Social Anxiety
Possible causes of CPTSD including early childhood sexual trauma
Our experiences with CPTSD
Emotional neglect is a core wound
Development of the fundamental belief system
Babies don't have complex understanding of the world around them
All abandonment is self abandonment
Working with your nervous system to build awareness and recognize trauma responses
Nervous system regulation
How does CPTSD challenge society?
This conversation is the beginning of a long conversation about CPTSD as we will be breaking down its components individually.

Psychedelic Integration meets Neurosomatic Intelligence
16 september 2022 · 20 min
Mental Health Crisis, Trauma, Psychedelics .... big words during these times. Plant medicicne is not a quick fix and the lack of support on the backend during integration is staggering. I know because I've been to the best centers and even theyre trying to figure it out. There are people who understand integration but they aren't often trained in nervous system regulation and healing. Lees meer
Join me as I share with you the importance of bridging the two worlds of Psychedelic Integration & Neurosomatic Intelligence. It's within the nervous ssytem that anything you want is possible. Thanks to your already existing neural plasticity you always have the capactiy for change and then you add a powerhouse plant medicine that increases that capacity and potentially catapault you into any direction.
Maybe the change you desire feels scary, perhaps you unlocked a deeply buried scary trauma, how about that hard conversation, or intentioanlly blowing your world up to leave the mundane 9-5 and live a life of purpose.
Everyone's path is very different based on what comes through, where our attention and intention lies, and what we are healing or processing. Remember change is threatening to your brain so learn your unique nervous system and create the life you desire. I can help you. Nothing about your journey is going to dysregualte me, I can hold space for you, and keep your nervous system safe.

Fight: Trauma Response
16 augustus 2022 · 36 min
It is our brain's job to protect us against danger. Whether that is a real or perceived threat, the brain will activate and will result in an action, or inaction. This isn't the most effective way to be protected for people who have experienced trauma, because that trauma is stored so deep in our subconscious, that the threat response can activate in the absence of a real threat but in the presence of a trigger. Lees meer
There is no way to avoid having your trauma retriggered and your nervous system regulated at all times. These are lived experiences that have sown their way into our nervous systems, but we can implement tools to regulate in the face of a response that may be harmful to others or yourself.
Specifically the fight trauma response. This can be one of the most damaging to our relationships and our bodies. Creating chaos in moments of intimacy with others, or chaos within our bodies, can lead to living an unfulfilling life. There is a way out of this, and that is what we want to talk about on today's episode.
Jennifer and Elisabeth sit down to speak about fight response and how it manifested in their lives. As well as tools you can use to help yourself move the anger through your body. They worked with their nervous system and learned how to identify when they were in fight mode and how to regulate it in that moment. They now want to share this knowledge with you.
Tune in to hear their stories and how you can start your journey to a regulated nervous system.

Addiction and Trauma
2 augustus 2022 · 49 min
Society paints addiction as an individual character flaw, pointing the blame solely on the person who is experiencing the addiction. However, addiction is much more nuanced than that. Especially since we live in a highly dysregulated world, addiction should be expected. Trying to function in society while needing to dissociate has become a part of our collective culture. Since our nervous systems are on overdrive with the amount of sensory overload that is thrown our way, coupled with unresolved personal and collective trauma, finding ways to regulate the nervous system can become a means for survival. So, in that sentiment, addiction is far more than an individual character flaw, it's a systemic issue, which should be part of the conversation. Lees meer
In today's episode, co-host Elisabeth Kristoff gives her personal account of dealing with addiction and mental health issues, and how Applied Neurology helped in her healing journey. Elisabeth goes over how addiction played out in her life as well as what happens to the nervous system and brain at a neurological level when dealing with addiction. Although alcohol helps to depress the nervous system, the trauma that is being dampened in that moment still lives in the body and needs a way out. After many hospital visits, Elisabeth is now in sobriety and able to tell her story to help others who are in the same place as she used to be to heal from their trauma and addiction.
Tune in for a vulnerable conversation about what addiction really means on a personal and neurological level as well as tools that could help in coming out of addiction and into sobriety.
Topics discussed in this episode:
What is addiction really
The protective nature of addiction
Why we get stuck in addictive behaviors

Flight: The Trauma Response

Flight: A Trauma Response Lees meer
Season 02, Episode 07
Arriving early, leaving late, overthinking, can't sit still, breathing quickly, and always keeping busy, are just a few examples of how the flight trauma response can manifest in our lives. This response is biologically built in to keep us safe from harm, but what if that harm is perceived and doesn't require fleeing the scene? This can be detrimental to our personal and professional lives and keep us in a state of high alert with stress hormones coursing through our bodies that can be quite harmful.
In order to combat this trauma response, the nervous system must be regulated, but it is difficult to do that when we can't pinpoint whether the response is flight or what the trigger is. The first step is to understand the response, and come back to the body to understand the sensations that come with it.
This is where applied neurology has proven beneficial to create a safe container for nervous system regulation to allow those of us with this response to come out on the other side with the tools and ability to self regulate. Regulate so we can have that hard conversation without leaving half way through or to be able to finally relax and dig our feet in the sand while soaking up the sun.
In this episode, hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff of Brain Based Wellness share their personal experiences with flight response and how it affected their lives when they didn't have the tools to regulate.
Tune in for information about tools on how to recognize and regulate the flight trauma response sensations to be able to live a full and expansive life!

Season 02, Episode 05
The same tools you use to rehabilitate your knee can also be applied to decreasing anxiety. Our bodies are incredibly intelligent machines wired to keep us alive and thriving, but what if that same wiring that is there to protect us, works against us in ways we aren't aware of? In the same breath, what if that same knowledge is the key to, not only our healing, but our acceleration as physical and intelligent beings. This is what our guest on today's episode is here to discuss:
Internationally recognized teacher of Applied Neurology, co-founder of Next Level Neuro, and part creator of Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching, Matt Bush is joining us on today's podcast to discuss his techniques used in Applied Neurology to heal the mind and body for optimal performance.
Matt's innovative approach to healing has proven successful in treating issues such as scoliosis, chronic pain, long COVID, and anxiety, by focusing on the nervous system, specifically vision, as treatment. Matt's methods are based heavily in science, however require little to no equipment. He puts his trust in the body's intelligence in healing itself through simple exercises that could ultimately be life changing for many.
It's time to move out of survival mode and create an above average life, because average does not have to be the baseline, excelling above is the goal and that's what applied neurology teaches us.
Listen in for a fresh take on healing and information on how you could also become a Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach!

Fawn the Trauma Response
28 juni 2022 · 41 min
In this episode we will be discussing the least understood, and most insidious four F's in trauma response, fawn. Lees meer
This survival adaptation is difficult to pinpoint, because fawn can often be confused with empathy or general care, but if not dealt with, can get to a toxic level for the fawner. Neglecting yourself for the sake of others can cause chronic issues, not only in the body, but in creating genuine connections as well.
The missing piece to overcoming fawn is to first identify it, then to gain tools to regulate the nervous system to create safety in the body. However, the tools are difficult to implement when you are unaware of the trauma response in the first place.
Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristoff from Brain-Based Wellness, uncover what fawn looks like and how it may show up in your life. Along with practical tools to regulate the nervous system in situations where fawning was the automatic response, and how to override that with an intentional one.
Finding safety in your own body IS possible and so is living authentically. Listen in for more info!

ACE scores and your health across your lifetime
21 juni 2022 · 48 min
Did you know you can measure your life expectancy by taking a short quiz about childhood experiences? Depending on the score, your lifespan either increases or decreases by 20 years! Lees meer
Advances in science have found a link between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), and poor physical and mental health later in life. This distinction has been difficult to prove, but thanks to Dr. Vincent Filetti's dedication to studying this phenomenon, we can make a correlation between traumatic events from our past and chronic illnesses that manifest in adulthood.
In this episode, Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach, Jennifer Wallace, and Elisabeth Kristoff from Brain Based Wellness, discuss the link between childhood trauma and illness later in life in hopes of shedding light on how trauma stored in the body can cause, sometimes fatal, health issues. In this conversation, Jennifer and Elisabeth recount their own ACE scores and how it has affected their health and lives as a whole, as well as tools based in applied neurology to allow for self-regulation to help heal trauma stored in the body.
These adverse childhood experiences change the physiology of the body and mind which lead to higher risk of obesity, addiction, and other harmful maladaptive behaviors that are bad for overall health, and lower life expectancy.
When we understand the root causes of our health issues, we are more equipped in finding solutions and tools to help heal ourselves once and for all. Tools that are discussed in this episode have been proven to help not only Jennifer and Elisaeth in their healing, but many others who have used applied neurology for their benefit.

Trauma Rewired: How Trauma Lives In The Body Lees meer
Season 02, Episode 02]
There is a fundamental key to healing trauma that is often overlooked, but crucial to move from survival mode to a balanced fulfilling life. That is, understanding that our bodies have a highly intellectual memory system that holds on to trauma for years. We focus so much on the mind, but neglect the intricacies of our physiology to heal traumas long term. Your mood, finances, intimacy, productivity, etc, are essentially dictated by your nervous system. A dysregulated nervous system caused by trauma can have detrimental effects on all areas of life, especially if negative coping mechanisms are involved.
In this episode, Jennifer Wallace sits down with the creator of Brain Based Wellness, Elisabeth Kristof, to discuss how applied neurology is the missing piece to understanding what trauma really is and how it affects our physical bodies on a scientific level, and in turn our outer world. Jennifer and Elisabeth recount their own experiences in healing from trauma using applied neurology.
Intellectually understanding your trauma is not enough, there is an extra layer that we must pay attention to before we can fully heal. Through consistent, healthy, nervous system regulation practices and exercises, mentioned in today's episode, healing IS possible. Listen in for more information.

Why Heal Your Nervous System
7 juni 2022 · 31 min
What if I told you that 90% of your issues can be solved just by healing your nervous system? It sounds like a simple solution for the complexity of issues in our lives, but the reality is, most of life is navigated by our nervous system, and for people who have experienced trauma, this can have a range of negative consequences from digestion issues to trouble with intimacy in relationships. Lees meer
In this episode, Jennifer Wallace sits down with the creator of Brain Based Wellness, Elisabeth Kristof, to discuss how to train the brain to heal the nervous system. By doing simple daily exercises, you can train the brain to elicit new behaviors or coping mechanisms that help regulate the nervous system to lower the stress response in the body.
Traumatic experiences, if left untreated, can wreak havoc on the nervous system, causing dysregulation of the nervous system keeping you in a survival state. However, using Elisabeth Kristof's Brain Based Wellness methods, you can move out of stress and anxiety by doing simple exercises every day that take less than 5 minutes.
Topics discussed in this episode:
How our nervous system relates to behaviors
How to regulate the nervous system
