What if your healing after divorce didn't just come through talk therapy but through something deeper, more embodied, and even a little unconventional?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm joined by Keith Kurlander, co-founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and one of the country's leading voices in integrative and psychedelic therapy. We talk about how trauma from divorce and other life ruptures gets stuck in the nervous system, why it continues to show up years later (even when you've "moved on"), and what to do when you feel stuck in an emotional loop you can't talk your way out of.   Resources Mentioned: Sign up for ReNewU waitlist to get early access: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist Nail Your Niche: https://ambershaw.samcart.com/products/nail-your-niche Cured Nutrition use code AMBER for 15% off: https://www.curednutrition.com/   What We Discuss: Keith's background and the connection between trauma, divorce, and mental health Why trauma lives in the nervous system and resurfaces in unexpected ways Grief triggers, emotional flashbacks, and how to begin shifting out of them Somatic regulation, breathwork, and nervous system first aid Curiosity over judgment: how to respond when trauma resurfaces What psychedelic therapy is and what it isn't Who is a good candidate for psychedelic therapy How to find a safe and legit practitioner    Key Takeaways: “You can't think your way out of trauma that lives in your body.” – Keith Kurlander   “Psychedelic therapy isn't about escaping—it's about reconnecting with yourself.” – Keith Kurlander   “When the nervous system doesn't feel safe, no amount of logic will move you forward.” – Keith Kurlander   Find more from Keith Kurlander: Website: psychiatryinstitute.com   Find more from Amber: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@msambershaw

Summary In this episode of the Ali Damron Show, Ali discusses the often overlooked concept of neuroplastic symptoms, which can manifest as chronic pain, anxiety, and other health issues. She shares her personal journey with chronic back pain and how she discovered that many symptoms are rooted in the brain rather than physical ailments. Ali emphasizes the importance of addressing the nervous system and emotional factors in healing, rather than solely focusing on physical treatments. She provides insights into how fear and anxiety can exacerbate symptoms and offers strategies for healing through somatic tracking and creating a sense of safety in the body. Takeaways Neuroplastic symptoms can manifest as chronic pain and anxiety. Many health issues are rooted in the brain, not just physical ailments. Addressing the nervous system is crucial for healing. Fear and anxiety can amplify physical symptoms. Repressed emotions contribute to chronic pain. Holistic approaches are necessary for effective treatment. Somatic tracking can help in healing neuroplastic symptoms. You are not broken; your symptoms are signals from your body. Healing involves creating safety and reducing fear.

How Structural Trauma Impacts Your Nervous System: From Birth to Collective Healing

We often think of trauma as a deeply personal experience, shaped by our childhood, relationships, and emotional wounds. But what if some of our deepest pain didn't start with us? What if trauma is embedded in the very systems we're born into - our medical institutions, cultural ideologies, and societal norms? In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Tayla Shanaye, somatic therapist, scholar, and expert in birth trauma and structural oppression. Tayla joins Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful exploration of how ideologies like white supremacy, patriarchy, and ableism don't just shape policies, they live in our bodies, shaping how we birth, connect, and heal. Together, they discuss the medicalization of childbirth, the systemic invalidation of birthing bodies, and how trauma is passed down generationally through embodied experiences. This episode invites us to look at birth as more than a physical event, it's a moment of transformation, a portal, and for many, a site of trauma that is rarely acknowledged. Tayla also shares deeply personal stories of pregnancy, birth, and healing, highlighting the need for preparation, integration, and community-based support to create a culture where somatic safety and agency are the norm. You'll hear how nervous system awareness, collective ritual, and somatic abolitionism can radically change how we relate to our bodies and to each other. If you've ever felt broken by birth, silenced in your experience, or curious about how deep healing begins at the structural level, this episode is for you. Topics discussed in this episode: ● The medicalization of birth and its traumatic impact ● Why trauma is systemic—not just personal ● How ideologies like racism and patriarchy are embodied ● The role of the nervous system in healing generational trauma ● Somatic healing and reclaiming bodily agency ● Historical roots of obstetric violence and experimentation ● The missing rituals of birth preparation and integration ● How voice, safety, and co-regulation shape our healing ● The vision of community-led, embodied care ● Why embodiment is key to creating real culture Ready to reclaim your voice, your safety, and your power?

In this episode, Majo Torreli, a somatic coach who helps women break unhealthy relationship patterns and cultivate self-love, shares her personal journey of healing from emotionally abusive relationships and the transformative power of somatic coaching. Key Takeaways: Majo Torreli is a somatic coach helping women heal from unhealthy relationship patterns. Her personal journey involved overcoming emotionally abusive relationships. Somatic coaching helped her achieve what years of therapy could not. Feeling safe in one's body is crucial for emotional healing. Intellectual understanding of self-worth is different from experiencing it emotionally. Forgiveness requires processing and releasing trapped energy. Women often need to create safety within themselves after betrayal. Trusting intuition takes time and requires emotional digestion. Taking accountability for relationship patterns is essential for growth. Healing is a gradual process that requires self-compassion. Majo is a somatic coach who helps women break out of painful relationship patterns by reconnecting with their bodies. After more than a decade stuck in unhealthy cycles, anxiety, and self-doubt in love—despite doing “all the right things”—she finally broke free and found lasting self-love through somatic (body-based) coaching. Today, she guides other women through the same journey—helping them cultivate inner peace, confidence, and love they can feel in their bones, not just in their heads.

What happens when your body feels more than your mind can make sense of?In this deeply grounding episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth and Jennifer open up a necessary and often overlooked conversation about peak somatic experiences—powerful moments of healing that happen in the body, not the mind. Whether you're drawn to psychedelics, breathwork, or trauma release exercises, this episode unpacks the neurobiological, emotional, and spiritual layers of somatic breakthroughs. But more importantly, it's a cautionary tale: for those with chronic dissociation or unresolved trauma, these experiences can be overwhelming or even destabilizing if approached without preparation, interoceptive training, and long-term integration. Through the lens of Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI), you'll learn how peak somatic experiences interact with neuroplasticity, the default mode network, implicit memory, and emotional patterning. Jennifer and Elisabeth share their personal journeys and offer practical tools to build capacity, safety, and support before—and after—these experiences. Whether you've already walked this path or are considering it, this episode will help you explore the power and risks of embodiment with reverence, curiosity, and care. Topics discussed in this episode: What defines a peak somatic experience through the NSI lens The science behind psychedelics, neuroplasticity, and the 5HT2A receptor Why preparation is more than a checklist—it's a relationship with your body The role of the default mode network in identity, emotion, and trauma Emotional breakthroughs: what they are and what they're not How dissociation impacts your ability to benefit from embodiment work Why "purging" trauma isn't the goal—and what to do instead The risks of somatic experiences for trauma survivors without proper resourcing Real-life stories of dysregulation and recovery after peak experiences Building interoceptive awareness and emotional processing capacity Why integration is the true work of healing—not the experience itself Rethinking psychedelics as collective healing, not just personal growth   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 our 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 Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

“Integration” is a word that gets thrown around in the healing world, but what does it really mean? In this powerful episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth and Jennifer unravel the true meaning of integration, not as a final step, but as the heart of sustained transformation. Without integration, even the most profound somatic release, emotional breakthrough, or psychedelic insight can quickly fade back into old survival patterns. The nervous system, always seeking safety and familiarity, needs time, rhythm, and repetition to embody change. We explore the neurobiological foundation of integration through the lens of Nneurosomatic Iintelligence. You'll learn about neuroplasticity, minimum effective dose, how somatic preparation sets the stage for transformation, and the dangers of skipping integration in psychedelic or peak somatic experiences. Jennifer shares her deeply personal journey through years of NSI, medicine work, and vision quest, offering lived insight into how patterns like unworthiness get rewired over time. Together, we invite you to rethink healing as an ongoing relationship with your nervous system, your intuition, and your body. Whether you've had a mystical experience, a big emotional release, or a subtle insight in therapy, integration is how you make that change last. If you're navigating your own healing journey, or supporting others in theirs, this episode is essential listening. Topics discussed in this episode: Why integration is the process, not the end The brain's need for pattern repetition and safety What neuroplasticity is and how NSI uses it for lasting change Somatic preparation before peak experiences like psychedelics The three measurable types of psychedelic breakthroughs Emotional, psychological, mystical, and somatic insights Signs your nervous system isn't ready to receive a breakthrough The dangers of bypassing integration Practical examples of integrating new beliefs like worthiness How NSI supports embodied transformation Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com   Connect with Jennifer https://calendly.com/traumarewired/nsi-1-1-rewire-consultation   Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the next cohort now! https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com   Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired   Join our 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   Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

An administrator at the school suggested he complete the massage program first, get licensed, and then pursue acupuncture.

Finding Your Purpose   What if the path to wealth, happiness, and fulfillment isn't in doing more — but in feeling more? In this powerful episode of Richer Soul, Nate Ewert joins Rocky to share how he helps men break free from unconscious survival patterns and step into lives of true purpose and alignment. Through his work with Igniter Men's Group and Somatic Synergies, Nate bridges ancient wisdom, neuroscience, and trauma-informed healing practices to guide transformation from the inside out. Whether you're feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or you're seeking deeper emotional freedom and clarity in life, this episode reveals the subtle, yet profound shifts that unlock authentic success — not just externally, but within.   Key Takeaways:  Healing Isn't a Luxury — It's Foundational. Nate emphasizes that unresolved trauma impacts your nervous system, your decisions, your relationships, and even how you handle money. Real transformation begins by learning to feel safe in your body. Masculinity Needs a Redefinition. Men are often conditioned to suppress emotion and “man up,” but Nate shows how true strength lies in vulnerability, community, and nervous system regulation. You Don't Need to Be Broken to Grow. Many of Nate's clients come to him not because they're falling apart, but because they know there's more. More purpose. More depth. More alignment. And they're ready to go deeper. Somatic Work Is the Missing Link. Talk therapy often stays in the head. Somatic healing helps release stored trauma and energy from the body — the place where transformation really begins.   Money Learnings: Nate's early money story was shaped by scarcity and survival. He shares how financial lessons were limited to rules like "save 10%," but these didn't help when fear and nervous system dysregulation ran the show. Through deep inner work, he's transformed his relationship with money — from fear-driven to purpose-aligned. The big shift? Understanding that your nervous system must feel safe in order for wealth to grow and stay.   About Nate Ewert: Nate Ewert is a trauma-informed somatic healer and founder of Igniter Men's Group and Somatic Synergies. With certifications in conscious breathwork, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional release, Nate creates sacred spaces for men to unlearn cultural conditioning and step into embodied leadership and authentic purpose.   Key Discussion Points: Nate's “dark night of the soul” and how it sparked his healing journey. The difference between somatic healing and traditional talk therapy. Why regulating your nervous system is the foundation for a fulfilling life. How societal expectations around masculinity harm men's mental health. Tools to begin healing: breathwork, embodiment, emotional release. Nate's approach to building authentic community and sacred space for men. How trauma patterns influence how we earn, spend, and feel about money. Redefining success: from hustle to harmony.   Conclusion: This episode is a call to stop doing and start feeling. Nate Ewert offers a rare, vulnerable, and deeply practical guide to healing, purpose, and aligned living. If you're a man feeling disconnected or driven by invisible forces… or if you're simply seeking more from life than performance and checklists, this is your wake-up call.   Links: Website: www.ignitermensgroup.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3506607039556815  Instagram: @ignitermensgroup  Website: www.somaticsynergies.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SomaticSynergies  Instagram: @somaticsynergieshealing   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Addiction Is An Adaptation: The Neurobiology of Survival and Shame

Society has long framed addiction as a character flaw—but at Trauma Rewired, we know that couldn't be further from the truth. Addiction isn't about who we are at our core; it's about how we've learned to survive in chaotic, neglectful, or unsupported environments. As humans, we're always seeking homeostasis. When we don't have the tools—or the environment—to support that, we adapt in the ways we know how. Just as trauma and addiction can rewire the brain, healing and regulation can too. In today's episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer welcome a dear friend and special guest, Brooke Wolfe. Once an addiction recovery coach and now a somatic voice coach, Brooke helps women heal by reclaiming their voice. Together, they share their personal journeys with addiction and recovery, offering powerful reframes that challenge shame-based narratives. They also explore the neurobiology of addiction—discussing the brain structures involved, the roles of the pain and pleasure systems, and how hormones like oxytocin shape our experience. Brooke reveals how working with the voice can unlock deeper emotional regulation and expand our capacity to feel. She also shares a few simple but transformative practices you won't want to miss. We may not be able to change what happened to us, but we can change how we relate to it. The outdated idea that addiction means something is wrong with you must be left behind. Addiction is a biological strategy for relief, not a moral failing—and when we view it through that lens, healing becomes possible. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, this episode is a must-listen. Share it with someone who needs it—and tune in for an inspiring, compassionate conversation. Topics discussed in this episode: Addiction as a biological strategy for relief and safety How trauma impacts and rewires the brain The reward circuitry of the brain and its role in addiction The influence of attachment styles and the hormone oxytocin How hypersensitivity can disconnect us from our bodies Reclaiming connection and community as part of the healing process The impact of high ACE scores and early childhood stressors Self-sabotage as a form of protection and self-preservation Somatic and practical healing practices for addiction Using the voice as a powerful tool for regulation and transformation If you are interested in learning more about Brooke Wolfe and Neuro-Somatic Voice Coaching, visit her website here: https://www.brookewolfe.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.

Happy Satiated Saturday! What if diet culture wasn't actually the "problem"? Focusing on diet culture can become a distraction. It keeps the conversation circling around the same point—being controlled around our food choices is the problem, and we need to regain our experience of choice with food. Yet, when all of our attention stays on food, we miss out on exploring the deeper layers of who we are, beyond what we eat.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Fat Doctor Podcast, I'm joined by Elle Bower Johnston, a  breathworker, rest teacher, and somatic trauma resolution practitioner who describes herself as a "body witch." Our conversation explores the intersection of trauma, embodiment, and healing beyond traditional therapy.Elle explains trauma as "when our body-mind experiences something that it can't digest in the moment - either too much too fast, or not enough over too long." While our protective mechanisms (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn) are natural responses to threats, trauma occurs when these responses get stuck and can't complete.We discuss how systems of oppression create ongoing trauma, particularly for marginalized bodies accessing healthcare. Elle shares how our bodies develop protective mechanisms that may have been necessary for survival, but can become limiting patterns later in life.The conversation moves beyond cognitive understanding to explore embodied healing. As Elle notes, "You can't think your way through" trauma - we need approaches that engage the multifaceted aspects of our bodies: physical, emotional, energetic, and relational.In a world disconnected through capitalism and colonialism, Elle suggests that rest isn't just about lying down or taking a bath - it's about reconnecting with something larger than ourselves. This might be as simple as noticing the seasons changing or feeling gravity's pull on your body. These small moments of connection become pathways to true rest and healing.This episode invites listeners to honor the wisdom in their protective responses while exploring gentle ways to expand beyond them, finding rest and embodiment in a world that often disconnects us from our bodies and each other.You can learn more about Elle through her website. Got a question for the next podcast?

In Somatic States: On Cartography, Geobodies, Bodily Integrity (Duke UP, 2025), Franck Billé examines the conceptual link between the nation-state and the body, particularly the visceral and affective attachment to the state and the symbolic significance of its borders. Billé argues that corporeal analogies to the nation-state are not simply poetic or allegorical but reflect a genuine association of the individual body with the national outline—an identification greatly facilitated by the emergence of the national map. Billé charts the evolution of cartographic practices and the role that political maps have played in transforming notions of territorial sovereignty. He shows how states routinely and effectively mobilize corporeal narratives, such as framing territorial loss through metaphors of dismemberment and mutilation. Despite the current complexity of geopolitics and neoliberalism, Billé demonstrates that corporeality and bodily metaphors remain viscerally powerful because they offer a seemingly simple way to apprehend the abstract nature of the nation-state.
