  1. When Overthinking Is Trauma: Healing Intellectualization with Trisha Wolfe

    When Overthinking Is Trauma: Healing Intellectualization with Trisha Wolfe

    Episode Summary In this episode of Rooted Conversations, Mitch sits down with Trisha Wolfe, a therapist, educator, and Ph.D. candidate researching the role of the nervous system in treating and preventing burnout. Known for her viral content on emotional regulation and intellectualization, Trisha brings clarity to the complex intersection of trauma, the brain, and the body. Together, Mitch and Trisha explore what it means to think your way to safety, how intellectualization becomes both a superpower and a survival strategy, and what it takes to reestablish real connection with your body. They unpack why so many high-functioning, self-aware people get “stuck” in therapy, the problem with black-and-white healing frameworks, and how true nervous system regulation requires a balance of top-down and bottom-up approaches. If you’ve ever tried to fix or figure out your healing and ended up feeling worse, this conversation will show you why—and how to shift toward a more embodied, compassionate relationship with yourself.
