Trauma isn’t just a single event—it’s the ongoing experience that unfolds afterward. Our access to resources, support, tools, and coping mechanisms greatly influences how our brain and nervous system are patterned in response to trauma, which in turn shapes our emotions and behaviors. By understanding these patterns as protective adaptations rather than flaws, we open the door to repatterning our nervous system and transforming our responses.

In today’s episode, we revisit a powerful conversation between Elisabeth and Jennifer, who explore what happens in the brain and body following a traumatic event. They discuss how trauma imprints in the body, creating activation patterns, and how healing is possible by building the capacity to feel and engaging with community.

We are highly impressionable beings—our experiences and perception of sensory inputs shape our reality. But this adaptability also makes healing possible. By repatterning neural pathways, reshaping nervous system responses, and shifting our perspective, we can build a life in which we respond consciously rather than react automatically.
