Description

Trauma, dysregulated emotions, high levels of stress and anxiety, all have a way of rewiring and changing your nervous system. The changes are so significant they can cause disease as you witness and carry your dis-ease; they cause coping mechanisms and self-harm, and a host of other significant life impacts. Yet, there is a way to retrain the autonomic nervous system and your relationship to your experiences. I sat down with trauma and addiction therapist, Polyvagal Institute Course Developer, teacher, and author Jan Winhall to talk about how to shift out of flight/fight/fold and freeze, and how we can connect with ourselves and change the impending danger we feel that keeps us from relaxing and enjoying our lives. So, let’s dive right in. Key Takeaways: 00:00 Introduction   02:07 Jan Winhall’s discoveries during her forty-plus years as a trauma and addiction therapist 04:29 The body’s response to trauma    08:29 Breaking down coping mechanisms and their purpose to keep us alive and safe   11:00 Polyvagal Theory and your nervous system’s job   13:43 The hierarchy of fight, flight, fold, and freeze 16:42 Trauma feedback loop 18:17 Your nervous system determines how you experience moments 29:19 Two embodied practices 32:36 Focus in partnerships and connectivity to change the nervous system 35:09 Understanding your triggers 41:33 Attuning to your needs 43:19 The practice of Clearing Space Backwards 49:11 Jan’s 3 gratitudes There are so many beautiful takeaways from this conversation.
