]]> As we continue our journey in exploring ways to increase nervous system regulation, we now turn our attention to movement based practices.


Today, I’ll share with you the seven key was movement-based practices change the brain and help us develop both interoception (our ability to “feel inside” ourselves) and proprioception (our ability to sense body position, movement, and balance).


I’ll also give you some simple ways to get started incorporating movement into your breathing/grounding practices.

In fact, when “grounded” feels like a wiggly concept, focusing instead on feeling “centered” will greatly support you in feeling stable and balanced.

One of the amazing things about accessing the feeling of love is that it causes the brain to release oxytocin, which is a powerful hormone that is even sometimes referred to as the "love drug". 


This hormone is also a neurotransmitter, and so when released sends all sorts of "feel good" signals to the brain and nervous system to signal safety - which is a key component of nervous system regulation.

Sometimes, what is igniting our anger has nothing to do with a present day injury, slight, injustice, or insult. Rather, the brain/body has picked up on something that cues a historical trauma and we are off our head before we know it.


Expanding our capacity to be with anger as it arises, to pendulate from dysregulation back to regulation, and to get curious about our anger (why?, where is it coming from?, what exactly happened?) is key to our living more empowered, grounded, less reactive lives.


There is absolutely 100% nothing wrong with feeling angry - it's a powerful and useful feeling - AND! we need to know how to move in and out of this energy with mindfulness.

As survivors of trauma, we often end up thinking in very black and white terms … and this can then cause us to categorize any distress we are feeling as super problematic. By growing your awareness about the different levels of distress, you will be better able to regulate your nervous system and maintain perspective as you are navigating the day to day. I share with you a fabulous exercise to help you do just that!

As survivors of trauma, we often end up thinking in very black and white terms … and this can then cause us to categorize any distress we are feeling as super problematic. By growing your awareness about the different levels of distress, you will be better able to regulate your nervous system and maintain perspective as you are navigating the day to day. I share with you a fabulous exercise to help you do just that!


Time to take your temperature :)

Born virtually blind and being misdiagnosed as being mentally slow until the age of 7, Neal came to believe that he was worthless and would never amount to anything. Even after his disability was discovered, it wasn’t until he was 11 years old that he was nurtured by a loving teacher and could begin to see himself differently. This growth was interrupted at 15, when his parents “rented” him to a pedophile.


His journey healing from these traumas over the last 50 some years has given him deep insight and understanding of what it takes to break free from generational trauma.

Unfortunately, many of us go about doing this in ways that are ultimately destructive - to ourselves and our relationships.


This week's invitation is to seek validation from within!

Instead of saying, “I don’t have time for…”, say, “I’m not prioritizing…”! Man – did that ever kick me in the butt.


I began thinking about time ass an invitation to consider what matters, what do I want to invest in. How do I use the time I have.


And I love that.


I also love to think about the abundance of time – that there is no such thing as “too late to heal, to live my life, to try new things.”


We also need to think about our inner child’s relationship to time.


Let’s explore!

Too often, our communication habits lead to confusion, misunderstandings, bruised feelings, damaged relationships, and avoidable conflict.

In this episode of the Beyond Surviving Podcast, I connect with Mudita Nisker and Dan Clurman, authors of Let's Talk: An Essential Guide to Skillful Communication, about how to change that.

We discuss the how to’s (and to not’s) of communication along with their Top 3 strategies for communicating like a bad ass!


Mudita wants you to know that, "Communication is spiritual in the sense that it fosters compassion. And part of compassion is recognizing that we are all suffering on some level and to open our hearts to that with kindness to ourselves and others."


Dan wants you to know that, "In communication there is mutual understanding and that is a beginning element. The more I understand myself and someone else in conversation, the more I'm touched by the other person's experiences, the more I'm affected, the more I have some sense of empathy and thus able to recognize how interdependent we all are."

A huge part of re-parenting ourselves has to do with shedding the trauma that obscures or confuses our ability to discern who we are, what we like, what we need, what we want.


And a great way to do that kind of work? Making choices!

Most survivors of trauma become very adept at pushing away and shoving aside the pain of the past, using denial, or anger, or dissociation.


Yet – the pain keeps coming back. And it will, until it is faced and dealt with.


But one super powerful step in that process is actually just nurturing ourselves in these moments. Learning to just be with the pain, but to wrap ourselves (and our inner child) in love and reassurance.

We discuss how to break free of being stuck in a diagnosis in either the medical or mental health system. We also share some important tips for how you can advocate for yourself to make sure you are getting the care and support you need!


Ingrid wants you to know that, “there is hope. If you are stuck in the mental health or medical system or in old pain, you don’t have to be there … and life is beautiful. So, hope!”

A word from Lisa:


“Innocence is lost in such big and small ways... and we seldom hear of a restoration of innocence. I believe that we can heal from even the deepest wounds, so that they are transformed to places of strength and peace. We cannot undo, or forget the trauma we have experienced, but I believe that the pain, accusation and conclusions we experience can be healed and transformed into confidence, love and strength. I have found hope, forgiveness, good friends and faith to be keys to this process. Each of us is worth our own best fight!”

This week, spend some time soaking in the replenishing properties of nature. Hug a tree for me!

Trauma makes us believe that the world and the people in it would be better off without us. This is a lie!


By embracing yourself and all that you have to offer, you will invest in the things that help you thrive and that is a radical act of self-care.


Added bonus, your capacity to offer grace to others will also grow and I personally think that contributes to the world healing and transforming on global scales!

In 1985, when she testified she had to be in the same room with him. Closed-captioning was not an option for her. She shares what the process was like as a child and as an adult and about the ramifications that it had on her after he was found not guilty -- despite her strong testimony, a thorough police investigation, and case managers and therapists who said her story was cohesive and strong.


We also discuss what parents can do to respond to a disclosure and to support a child in navigating the court system.

We discuss how we can embrace the storms or healing (residual emotions and feelings) related to my childhood sexual trauma to make a pathway for healing that is necessary, possible, and a process.

It is critical that attorneys be well-versed in trauma and understand the ways a survivor’s trauma may manifest in the context of a legal case.

The listener will learn:


*A brief overview of the neurobiology of trauma and how symptoms may present and impact a legal case.


*Basic principles of trauma-informed care and how attorneys can incorporate them into their representation of survivors.


*Warning signs of vicarious trauma and the interplay with attorneys’ ethical obligations, as well as practical self-care tools.

Along the way, we discuss some of the key factors that prevented him from speaking up both at the time of the abuse and later in life. He shares about the major turning point that finally gave him the courage to seek support, and all the ways he’s been surprised along the way each time he’s shared his story since breaking the silence.



--

Tim is a native Californian who has lived and travelled in many locales west of the Rocky Mountains. When not working with high school and college students, you will find him enjoying the outdoors climbing, skiing, surfing and strumming around a campfire. In his youth he suffered through sexual abuse that left him angry, confused and alone inside. Forty-five years passed before he committed to dealing with the effects of the secrets he held from all. He is currently travelling and climbing in the western U. S. on an endless road trip.

La’Tia Parker Stewart is the founder of the Flourish Foundation Inc. and the V.O.W.(Victory of Women) Network. She is also an author, certified life coach, graphic designer, women’s ministry leader and a certified victim advocate for sexual assault and domestic violence victims and survivors.


In 2001, she began to host a “Let the Healing Begin” Support Group in her home after finding a need for a safe place for women still suffering from traumatic experiences. Within months La’Tia’s home was overflowing with women so needing a bigger platform, she founded “V.O.W” (Victory Of Women) Network and begin hosting annual Women Conferences within her city to assist women with tools and resources to live victorious over the after-effects of sexual assault and domestic violence.


In 2009, she then founded S.O.A.R (Speak Out Against Rape), a campaign/program to raise awareness in her community about sexual assault and to aid sexual assault victims to find their voice and seek support for the long term effects of any issues they may be still suffering with. She became a sought-after speaker on the topic of sexual assault and launched “Speak Out” Campaigns, workshops, conferences, media campaigns, numerous rallies and WAR (Walk Against Rape) to bring awareness to these issues. She received a resolution from the City of Selma in 2010 for her work with SOAR.


La’Tia herself had been a victim of childhood sexual abuse and domestic violence and was outraged by the lack of resources, social stigma and other barriers imposed on those affected by sexual assault and domestic violence in her community. Seeing an even greater need for victims suffering with “overlooked issues” such as PTSD, eating disorders, self-harm, and other issues, she co-founded Family Affairs, Inc. to provide counseling and coaching resources to people in her community. She received her Life Coaching Certification and studied crisis response, trauma care, & suicide prevention to help assist in these areas in the organization.


Her latest project, the Flourish Foundation is geared to totally assist survivors to move from survival to flourishing status. She believes that survivors can not only overcome the affects of trauma but that they can CONQUER them. The Flourish Foundation aims to offer a retreat center that focuses on the full recovery of survivors.


La’Tia has been a part of ministry work for over 10 years and has worked in social services for over 20 years. She co-hosted the radio talk show “God’s Voice” and is the author of the book “Where Can I Take My Shame?” where she openly shares her journey to healing from years of trauma. Her story has been heard in churches, college campuses, radio interviews and several blogs. She is currently releasing her second book “Rebuilding the Ruins” and is aiming to provide advocate and sensitivity training to churches, law enforcement,  clergy, and medical staff for victimized individuals.


La'Tia currently works as Executive Assistant to the Executive Director of the Bridge Crossing Jubilee. She has also worked for over 10 years with advocate organizations such as the National Voting Rights Museum and S.O.S to fight for voting rights and civil rights, She obtained her Degree in Computer Information Systems in 2000 and is currently studying to receive a Master’s in Counseling.

As one who suffered childhood sexual abuse, specifically father-daughter incest, Lyvonne Proverbs is deeply committed to ending childhood sexual abuse in and beyond Black religious spaces.

We cover a lot of a ground – including how to break free of your “pity parties” and commit to healing and how to become co-conspirators in healing (and why we love this word more than ally).

We even chat about all of the ways we love on ourselves so that we can activate our power and presence (it’s a lot simpler than you might think!)

You’ll also learn more about Lyvonne’s work with beautiful scars, an online platform support Black Christian women in finding their voice and healing.

Get a pen and paper, you're going to want to take notes!

It's these reactions or coping patterns that help you survive, but they also perpetuate your post-trauma symptoms. If you keep in fight, flight, freeze or pleasing mode long after the original trauma(s) happened, this begins to define your reality, and you will keep reenacting similar situations that will re-traumatize you. Once you start to see how that works and you become aware of those patterns, at that very moment you introduce another element. You can call that observation, awareness, presence, spirituality-- it does not matter. That very presence creates a little space, a little distance, and non-identification with what has been occurring automatically and has become hard-wired within you. The process then starts to move from duality--from reaction--into non-duality or presence, observation, awareness. It is like the energy is held within the material--within the nervous system and thought, and this limitation gives rise to so many ailments and pain symptoms. Once that energy start to free up it can move back into presence or non-duality, and conflict ceases.


You will learn:


- More about the process of dissociation that is inherent in any kind of trauma.

- Why relearning boundaries and vulnerability are a necessity.

- Learn more about the fight, flight, freeze, and please responses.

She could REWRITE negative stories of shame and guilt she carried in her head and heart. Ultimately, she could TRANSFORM the wounds of the past into the gifts of today with service.

Have you been afraid to find out? This candid interview between a former client and therapist after co-authoring their book, Healing from Incest: Intimate Conversations with My Therapist, reveals the relationship of deep mutual trust, connection, and support that creates an emotional environment for therapeutic success and it has been selected for the Book of the Year Award (BOTYA/IndieFab) finalist for 2016 in the psychology category. “After over 30 years working with clients suffering trauma from childhood sexual abuse and other kinds of abuse, I must say my mind, heart and spirit feel full of these stories and the horrible impact abuse has on the victim. While I love the challenge of helping victims become thriving survivors (and, btw, I love to use EMDR when I can for this), I realize I hold a lot of internal rage toward the impact of the abuse on the survivor. Writing this book was one way to channel some of that rage into hopefully something redeeming. The writing was cathartic for me, as well as Geri.” ~Seanna
