  • Borderline, Unresolved Trauma, And The Nervous System; Rewiring Stigma and Rewriting The Story
    Did you know that Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) wasn't "discovered" but actually created? A group of male psychiatrists voted to define it as a diagnosis, and women, in particular, are disproportionately labeled with it, and it’s often weaponized against them. What if we told you that BPD isn't a disorder at all, but rather a logical and rational response to repressed emotions and shame caused by trauma, whether systemic or sexual? This is exactly what we’re unpacking in today’s episode. Join Elisabeth and Jennifer as they welcome Mollie Adler, podcaster, writer, and existential thinker, to dive deep into the issues surrounding the BPD diagnosis. Together, they discuss the stigma around BPD, the trauma as a potential cause, and how repressed emotions and shame fuel the symptoms. Also, Mollie shares her own experience of seeking a diagnosis, and why she didn’t receive one. What we explore in this episode is eye-opening: BPD is not a disorder, but a survival mechanism from unresolved trauma, one that can be healed by working to create safety in the nervous system and getting to the root cause. If this resonates with you, don’t miss out—tune in to learn more and discover how healing is possible. Topics discussed in this episode: Mollie Adler’s personal journey with BPD The problems with the current diagnostic framework The stigma surrounding personality disorders How BPD characteristics contribute to long-term emotional and interpersonal instability The systemic trauma linked to BPD Understanding the inputs that create the output, and how to create change with BPD The impact of sexual trauma and fawning in women with BPD The history and legacy of hysteria The power of releasing repressed emotions and toxic shame to heal The privilege of reclaiming your BPD diagnosis What it means to disidentify from your diagnosis Connect with Mollie Adler by heading to her Instagram page here: https://www.instagram.com/backfromtheborderline/?hl=en Find Molly's podcast Back from the Borderline on all platforms that host podcasts.    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.

  • Unraveling OCD: the Neurosomatic Roots of Obsession, Compulsion, and Trauma
    OCD is often reduced to intrusive thoughts and ritualistic behaviors, but let's be real—it’s so much more than that. These are just the surface-level symptoms of a much deeper survival mechanism rooted in childhood brain development and trauma stored in the nervous system. This limited view is part of what keeps so many stuck in the cycle of OCD, struggling to find true relief. But here’s the truth: if we address the root of OCD, we can begin to heal and, over time, reduce those protective outputs like intrusive thoughts and rituals. In this episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer bring Matt Bush back to the podcast for a powerful conversation about how OCD is a protective mechanism and how we can treat it by working directly with the nervous system. They explore the brain structures involved in OCD, how it affects our nervous system, and where it all begins in childhood. They also dive into why OCD leads to compulsive behaviors and the emotions that fuel them. Plus, they’ll break down the latest scientific studies on OCD treatment and share why and how it forms. What if we could start viewing OCD as a feature, not a flaw? By doing this, we can begin to strip away the shame and truly understand it as the protective response it is—one that’s embedded in our nervous system and can actually be worked with. It doesn’t have to be a life sentence. There’s a way through OCD, and we’re here to show you how. If you or someone you know is struggling with OCD and is ready for answers, be sure to tune in and share this episode. Let’s break the stigma and take the first step toward healing together. Topics discussed in this episode: Viewing OCD as a protective output Definition of OCD The impact of OCD on the brain and nervous system How deep brain stimulation affects OCD in children Key scientific studies and breakthroughs in understanding OCD Why OCD develops in the first place The connection between OCD and the freeze and fawn responses The role of shame in OCD Building emotional safety when processing OCD-related emotions 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.

  • The Truth About Rest, Trauma, And Success
    Join us for a special re-release of a profound conversation with Kate Northrup, renowned author of "Do Less," an expert in creating easeful financial business strategies, and a NSI coach. This episode remains one of our most beloved, resonating deeply with many who grapple with the concept of rest in a culture that glorifies constant productivity as the path to success and abundance. In this re-release, Elisabeth, Jennifer, and Kate explore how embracing rest and scaling back can promote significant business and financial growth, challenging the myth that more work equals more success. They candidly share personal experiences of burnout, forced breaks, and the surprising transformations they discovered when prioritizing rest. Kate introduces her insightful metaphor of treating rest as "active rest," akin to a cover crop that nourishes and prepares the soil for future growth—a concept pivotal for clients navigating dysregulation from rest. Our society's ingrained belief that our worth is tied to productivity has led to widespread dysregulation, burnout, and dissatisfaction. Through this episode, we aim to dismantle this programming and advocate that doing less can lead to greater well-being and productivity. Just as the Earth cycles through seasons, so too should our lives. We are all interconnected after all.  If you’re looking to regulate your nervous system and allow for more rest, be sure to check out this episode! Topics discussed in this episode: The domino effect of dysregulation, from hypervigilance to burnout The impact of insufficient sleep on the nervous system Kate's embodied experience that revealed doing more is not always better How pulling back and resting led to more growth for Trauma Rewired Rethinking rest: the concept of active rest Two strategies Kate uses to integrate rest into her business for sustainable growth Overcoming limiting beliefs to dismantle the productivity-driven system we’ve been conditioned to follow Understanding how rest can feel dysregulating and how to navigate it if it does Join Kate’s free live 3-day Good With Money workshop on April 17th, 22nd and 24th here: katenorthrup.com/TR If you attend and decide to join Relaxed Money through our link, you'll get an exclusive one hour private kickoff training with Elisabeth and Jennifer, to prepare your nervous system before the program starts.

  • How Your Nervous System Shapes Your Money Story
    In today’s episode, we’re bringing you something truly transformative. Our host, Elisabeth Kristoff, recently joined Kate Northrup on her podcast, Plenty, for a raw and eye-opening conversation that dives deep into the intricate relationship between the nervous system and financial success. The insights were so powerful, we knew we had to share this rich discussion with the Trauma Rewired audience. In this episode, we’re breaking down the nervous system like never before. You’ll learn how to expand its capacity for abundance, uncover the hidden connections between the nervous system and your money patterns, and discover tangible steps to heal and regulate it. Elisabeth and Kate also open up about their own personal healing journeys, sharing how radically different their lives are today after rewiring their nervous systems. They offer invaluable advice on recognizing and managing anxiety, and—perhaps most importantly—how to identify when your nervous system is out of balance. Understanding the nervous system is foundational to how we show up in the world. It governs everything from our ability to thrive in relationships to how we respond to stress and abundance. If we view our automatic reactions as protective mechanisms that can be rewired, using tools like NSI, we can radically shift our capacity for resilience and long-term fulfillment. This episode will challenge you to rethink how you engage with your nervous system, and how healing it can unlock the life you truly desire. Tune in to hear more about nervous system healing and an exclusive offer for Trauma Rewired listeners that you don’t want to miss! Topics discussed in this episode: Biggest misunderstandings people have about being a high performer What are ACE scores and how do they affect you? How does nervous system healing relate to personality disorders? Understanding inflammation, flare-ups, pain, etc., as protective outputs How to expand your capacity for abundance Where to start if you’re experiencing high levels of anxiety What’s missing when we try to change our realities with our thoughts Do we need to know the source of trauma to heal it? The difference between meditation and nervous system work Concerns around how people speak about the nervous system on social media How the nervous system and money patterns are closely related Repatterning your nervous system response to financial regret The connection between manifesting and the nervous system   Head to Kate Northrup’s website here: https://katenorthrup.com/ Connect with Kate Northrup on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/katenorthrup Join Kate’s free live 3-day Good With Money workshop on April 17th, 22nd and 24th here: https://katenorthrup.com/good/ If you attend and decide to join Relaxed Money through our link, you'll get an exclusive one hour private kickoff training with Elisabeth and Jennifer, to prepare your nervous system before the program starts.

  • What is Financial Trauma? The Nervous System & Your Money Patterns
    Why is it that financial abundance comes easier for some, while others struggle? What if we told you it's not about how hard you work for money, but about how your nervous system is patterned? Money is a tricky subject, because it is the foundation for our survival and security. So we can unconsciously create unhealthy relationships with money that are formed from what we have been taught about money at a young age, and unhealed trauma that still lives in our body around money, sex, and parental figures.   In today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by Preston Smiles, a transformational leader and author, who helps heal traumas to cultivate financial abundance. They touch on everything from childhood trauma around money and sex, as well as what financial trauma looks like, and the invisible thread we can follow to learn where our scarcity or lack around finances stems from. Preston also conveys how creating financial success is all about healing our traumas to create a relaxed body, and a clear channel for money to flow in easily. This episode is filled with tangible exercises that you can start today to help create a clear channel to allow in, not only financial abundance, but joy and calm. If we reframe our mind to think of money as energy, we can start to see how attracting it comes down to being open enough to receive it. The way we do this is a personal journey of healing and acceptance of the fact that we are worthy of financial abundance. We just need to believe it to receive it! If this episode resonates with you, be sure to check it out! Topics discussed in this episode: Preston’s money story and the pivotal moment that changed everything for him Understanding financial trauma Personal examples of financial trauma from Elisabeth and Jennifer A common financial trauma many children in the Western world experience How we’re conditioned to believe talking about money is dangerous Creating a clear, open channel in the body for financial success The impact of sexual trauma on our relationship with money An exercise to break free from a functional freeze pattern The four unconscious needs all humans are constantly seeking To learn more about Preston Smiles’ work, head to his website here: https://prestonsmiles.com/   Connect with Preston Smiles on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/prestonsmiles   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.
