"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
