Trauma isn’t just a single event—it’s the ongoing experience that unfolds afterward.

1:02:31

The amount of time and patience it takes to heal the body cannot be understated. Pushing our own personal boundaries to create a larger capacity to be witnessed and seen, can feel counterintuitive at times.

We live in an extremely overstimulating society, where information is coming at us from all angles, and the brain is constantly working to make sense of it all.

Complex Trauma Is A Neurodivergence 55:29

3M ago55:29

55:29

What is a neurotypical world? Here at Trauma Rewired, we don’t believe it exists. As humans, we are biodynamic, unique, individuals that process the world around us differently.

Neurodivergence and NeuroSomatic Intelligence 53:50

53:50

In a society where we are encouraged, and sometimes forced to conform, life can become quite dysregulating for neurodivergent people.

The isolation and shame associated with being neurodiv…

59:50

Our beliefs about ourselves and the world are so deeply ingrained in our being that every sensory input is filtered through the lens of these beliefs.
