Trauma & traumatic wounds Part 2

Tina and Dennis continue their talk on trauma, starting off by recognising that emotional trauma has only been recognised by medical researchers and the medical establishment as having biopsychosocial effects in the last few decades. Dennis talks us a little through a new research paper about developmental trauma, the physical and mental effects and the benefits of a "multimodal" treatment approach and Big D does a great job of summarising the research for us so we don't have read it ourselves. Tina points out how important research papers like these are because it demonstrates medically how chronic trauma can be a real cause of addictions, chronic illnesses and mental illnesses - the more recent understanding of "psychosomatic illness" is recognising the deep brain/body connection, rather than the outdated meaning which implied that people were "making up" their illnesses. Dennis expands on that to describe how our brain is physically changed by trauma, but luckily due to neuroplasticity, it can be changed. One of the conclusions is that we are contextual beings. Tina talks about the pioneering ACE Study - the first large, long term study demonstrating the long terms effects of childhood trauma, and the famous book, The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel Van der Kolk and his work around trauma and its effects on brain, behaviour and body. Dennis talks about our childhoods or past experiences don't need to be talked about extensively, but the knowing of various symptoms and history can help us repattern. T & D discuss the many symptoms of trauma on body and mind, including dissociation and relationship difficulties and behavioural patterns like people pleasing or perfectionism. They talk about the many sleep interruptions that can occur due to trauma and a disturbed autonomic nervous system. They discuss how the somatic approach can gently and effectively help the body and mind after trauma, interrupting the neuroplastic patterns. Dennis makes the link between the holistic approach and the multimodal approach recommended in the research paper. They then get into specific approaches and practices they use with people who have trauma...then they get rudely interrupted by Tina's dog Lila who is the adorable trouble maker and Tina's perimenopause brain gets easily lost in it's train of thought. They answer the listener question as best they can and Tina guides us through a Havening practice which is one very effective somatic body practice for trauma.

Trauma & traumatic wounds

Tina and Dennis start off this double episode about emotional trauma by sharing a bit about their own experiences with trauma - Tina's medical trauma and Dennis' childhood trauma - and surprise, surprise, it turns out that that's why they both got into coaching and facilitating others with trauma as part of their experience. They both demonstrate how we can discuss these impactful things with a little lightness - which makes it easy to listen to, and they recognise that chronic trauma doesn't really fully leave us but it can become a thread rather than a constant wave of crap overwhelming us. They talk about how the trauma can show up in us in moments, where our nervous system is effectively has the accelerator peddle and the brake peddle on at the same time, which makes Dennis rather red and sweaty. They acknowledge how our physical and emotional responses in those triggering moments can cause feelings of shame and self compassion is important. They discuss what trauma is and how we are still whole, wounds and all. They describe the different types of trauma and the disruptions in body and mind that trauma causes - unconsolidated memories, patterns of protection Vs patterns of connection, becoming "stuck" in the nervous system. They describe developmental trauma, inter generational trauma, shock trauma, medical trauma and death awareness. Dennis and Tina then begin to approach the WIDE ranging effects of trauma on behaviour, mind, emotions, body and relationships. WAIT FOR EPISODE 8 TO HEAR MORE.

Resilience (or Assimilate!)

Tina and Dennis catch up on how they're feeling and what they have been up to. Dennis talks about holding a lovely group at his studio/clinic and they riff about the dynamics and forces involved in a "lovely" group atmosphere for both leader and attendees. This week is all about Resilience - so they start off by discussing what it is and what is isn't, in their perspectives and in a body-mind and worldly context. As a closet-Trekkie Dennis brings up the Borg to make a distinction between resistance and resilience. Where resilience is more of a sweet spot in between softness and sturdiness. Remembering that we are a part of a bigger whole, but without the nanobots and hive-mind. Tina concludes that resilience in the end is about choice. Resilience as a dynamic process that brings about change, movement, shifts; the multidirectional influence of change in body, behaviour, mind and environment. They talk about how awareness and thinking can sometimes get in each others way rather than improving resilience - exploring openly rather than resorting to old patterns or behaviours keeps us open and expanding, therefore being resilient as opposed to stuck. Dennis reminds us that resilience is already within us and that we want to come into contact with it rather than "finding it", and taking the pressure off of needing to achieve something else. Tina brings up feelings of safety as an important part of feeling resilient. Dennis maneuvers his way out of mansplaining patriarchy to Tina, in relation to societal structures that mould western society's interpretation of resilience and "being strong". D goes off on his own loop about mens behaviour, strength, resilience and masculinity. And where do boundaries come into all this? Knowing the spectrum of resilience is key to nervous system regulation, being aware using tracking of sensations within the body. We conclude that that is as a part of resilience. Luckily T&D agree on welcoming duality or multiplicity of experience in the somatic approach ( the importance of "And") and the body as a container of experiences, where emotions and sensations are contents. Resilience as allowing vulnerability... What now!?! Here once more, practice with the body makes perfect to feeling safe of experiencing these feelings (contents) within a safe perimeter (contents) that are all fluid like . Great listener question this week - how to stop "performing" and be authentic/ true to yourself. With another blast back to the past referring to teletext pages and disclosing their age, Dennis and Tina engage in a lovely practice to guide our listeners into softening (for “performance reviews" or preparing for a zombie apocalypse). And Tina does her best (with obviously trying not to outperform) to prevent herself from dozing off and dropping from her chair.

When Shit’s Going Down (Stress and Our Nervous System)

Dennis and Tina go about defining what stress is and in the context of current news and activities and stress of needing to have an opinion about everything and how to balance the information overload. They have a laugh over some relatively light stress moments in their own lives recently and how Dennis can frantically run around when he is short on time. They ponder over how stress is a normal bodily response to threat and the ways it can become chronic, which is undesirable. How chronic or intense stress shows up and for what reasons; the stress of living with chronic illness and the emotional stress due to developmental trauma and wounds. Maladaptive coping mechanisms, including the societally revered or accepted ones (depending on the type of friends) are explored. As well as the fight/flight response and physical response to threat/stress. The Freeze response, stuckness and procrastination. The immobilisation and/or dissociation state and when that can happen, why and what it feels like. All these states are part of our nervous system and it is important to view these states and coping mechanisms with tenderness and understanding helps us to move back to the safe, connected state. As an example, they talk about how to approach burnout and chronic illness from this view point. When they discuss the power of connection & communication and which nervous system state that corresponds with, Tina brings up the big issue of lack of connection and help available when you live with chronic health issues and how to possibly manage that. And finally, they answer a lovely Listener's Question: "Is it OK to avoid stress and the feelings it brings?" Or how to make it feel a bit more palatable.

Are you aware of the body-mind connection?

Dennis and Tina talk about how thinking your way through feelings isn't really the best approach and how uncomfortable it can be getting into the body and how would you even know how to do that! They discuss the body-mind as a more full way of navigation through feelings and sensations living in the body. We find out that Dennis is a "plunge in" kinda guy, but that there are other ways of going softly, softly into our body, particularly for those who feel the body and it's sensations as a bit of a scary place. They look at breath and the Stairway to Heaven (nothing to do with orgasms unfortunately) or Stairway down to the coccyx as well as different ways to divert to attention to the body to practice awareness - one of the pinnacles of the Somatic Approach, and which requires the building of a new language - the language of sensation. Tina & D invite in nature as an inspiration to get in touch with your body presence to cultivate awareness, and as always they answer their Listener's Question, where a lovely listener has a question about how to bring awareness to their body when it feels scary.

I get so emotional, baby!

Dennis & Tina ramble about checking-in with yourself, saucy moxa sticks, being “in your body” and what that feels like (and the intrusive doubts or concerns) and not pushing too hard. They discuss what emotions are, how we might know we are experiencing them and why they come up; the difference between an emotion and a feeling; a mini dive into the emotion of anger, boundaries, social conditioning and how that impacts how we experience our emotions and express them (or don’t!) They also go a little bit into how our upbringing and how survival means adapting to our caregivers and keeping the secure attachment; even Kylie Minogue gets a mention. They discuss a little bit about emotions and stress in the context of having chronic illness, and the potentially toxic spirituality of “choosing illness in this lifetime”. At the end as always, Tina and Big D aim to answer a listener question too.

Shitting Yourself, Emotionally Speaking.

Tina and “Big D” talk about being emotionally, mentally and emotionally ready for dipping into self growth and change and weighing up minor medical intervention Vs lifestyle adjustments. The deciding question is: Are the old ways more uncomfortable than changing? They discuss what Anxiety is compared to Fear and navigating the uncomfortable emotions, particularly when chronic illness, burnout or developmental trauma is part of your picture. They describe how stressors affect our nervous system and how we process and regulate through our bodies, and how social conditioning teaches us how to suppress rather than process. Tina tells us about her recent fun sunday evening trip to the emergency room (A & E) and how she regulated her fear and anxiety through it, and as a seasoned chronic illness-er she can laugh at the lack of diagnosis that is a regular occurrence when you live with dodgy health. Dennis chimes in with some more delicious somatic tools that we can use too. Dennis talks us through how we all walk around a bit oblivious to our stress and anxiety levels, until it shows up in a chronic way in our bodies - and how gaining somatic awareness can help so much to notice, process and let go. They answer a listener question around how to use somatic tools in a crunch moment of anxiety or stress.

OK... so talk! What is healing?

Dennis and Tina introduce themselves and attempt to sum up 46 years and how they arrived at the somatic approach to “healing” for themselves and to supporting and coaching others - including Dennis’ aversion to touch and watching his life patterns play out, to Tina’s first “mid life” crisis, her genetic illness and how somatics helps engage with a body with complex health. They go one to chat around the big question of “What is Healing, and What isn’t it?” They discuss how they dislike the word “healing” but fail to find a better one, and that what healing is, is not as simple a question as it sounds, but it definitely isn’t about fixing.Quantum physics somehow crops up in the conversation as does Dr. Richard Schwartz, the creator of the healing model Internal Family Systems. Tina and Dennis also aim to introduce the somatic approach and what it means to them and how it informs their work as coaches, inviting awareness, curiosity and how the bodies’ intelligence is important, especially as our minds are so fallible! They end the podcast with the wildly popular segment: Answering a Listener Question! If you are interested in finding out more, go to Dennis’ or Tina’s website: www.omnamo.nl or email Dennis at dennis@omnamo.nl www.tinaclarkewellness.com or email Tina at tina@tinaclarkewellness.com The book we mentioned was Dr. Richard Schwartz’ No Bad Parts.
