06. Triggers & Trauma: How the Nervous System Responds

This episode will unpack what happens in the body as a result of trauma and how the nervous system responds to triggers. Hopefully by the end of this episode, you will have the insight to start understanding how you experience your nervous system which, when you’re resourced with the right tools, will lead to embodiment and self mastery.


Topics explored:

  • Polyvagal Theory & the three nervous system states (safe, fight/flight and freeze).
  • The threat stress/arousal cycle.
  • Impacts of childhood trauma on the brain and perception.
  • Window of tolerance.
  • Reorienting to safety through somatic therapy.
