  • What happens in the brain when a stress response is activated ? How does developmental trauma shapes our nervous system and subconscious reactions as adults?

    Today, we're answering those questions and diving deeper into how the brain develops through social interactions, why social connection is a survival need, and what happens in the body when we experience connection with other people.

    Matt Bush is joining Jennifer and Elisabeth to discuss the impact of trauma on the brain’s functioning, and therefore, our relationships, expression, sense of safety, and overall health. They talk about what happens when you’re not primed for connection in childhood, how the brain is wired to be part of the social structure in relationships, what part of the brain guides us toward dysregulation and protective outputs, and lots more.

    In this episode we delve into the intricate relationships between high ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) scores, developmental trauma, and their lifelong impacts on individuals' stress levels and physical health. The conversation highlights the critical role of early childhood experiences, particularly the bond with caregivers, in shaping one's ability to manage stress and form healthy relationships.

    We know that connection is crucial to our survival as humans, but for those with complex trauma, even the healthiest relationships can trigger a stress response and lead to maladaptive behaviors. This episode provides a comprehensive look at how stress impacts our relationships and physical health, and highlights the importance of consistent nervous system training to rewire the brain’s response to stress and build resilience.

    You’ll also learn why complex trauma is an attachment would, and most importantly, that change is possible and how you can get started NOW. Tune in for all this and more!

    We discuss chronic inflammation and its connection to social threats and shame, noting that these emotional stressors can trigger physical responses.

    Talking Points:

    Impact of high ACE scores and developmental trauma on stress levels and physical outcomes.

    Influence of early childhood experiences on the HPA axis and long-term stress responses.

    Role of attachment theory and the impact of caregiver availability.

    Relationship between social threats, shame, and inflammatory responses.

    Importance of training the nervous system through neurosomatic integration (NSI) tools.

    Personal narratives on managing complex PTSD and changing attachment patterns.

    Exploration of the OODA loop in processing and responding to environmental stimuli.

    Emphasis on the potential for neuroplasticity and intentional change in nervous system responses.

  • Trauma isn’t just a single event—it’s the ongoing experience that unfolds afterward. Our access to resources, support, tools, and coping mechanisms greatly influences how our brain and nervous system are patterned in response to trauma, which in turn shapes our emotions and behaviors. By understanding these patterns as protective adaptations rather than flaws, we open the door to repatterning our nervous system and transforming our responses.

    In today’s episode, we revisit a powerful conversation between Elisabeth and Jennifer, who explore what happens in the brain and body following a traumatic event. They discuss how trauma imprints in the body, creating activation patterns, and how healing is possible by building the capacity to feel and engaging with community.

    We are highly impressionable beings—our experiences and perception of sensory inputs shape our reality. But this adaptability also makes healing possible. By repatterning neural pathways, reshaping nervous system responses, and shifting our perspective, we can build a life in which we respond consciously rather than react automatically.

    If this topic resonates with you, be sure to tune in and explore what it truly means to carry trauma in the body and how to heal.

    Don’t miss this enlightening episode!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

    How trauma manifests in the body as illness and disease

    Bodily responses shaped by past trauma

    The role of co-regulation with a trusted, safe person

    How the brain constructs trauma experiences through sensory input

    Trauma’s impact on activation patterns and frontal lobe shutdown

    Chronic threat detection and its role in nervous system dysregulation

    Tools from NSI to improve sensory processing accuracy in the brain

    The significance of neuroplasticity in healing

    Relational healing and addressing attachment wounds

    Building the capacity to feel as a pathway to healing

    Recognizing the collective dimension of healing

  • In this episode, we delve into the profound connection between trauma, attachment wounds, and insomnia. We begin by discussing how secure attachments, particularly with family members like grandparents, can mitigate stress but their loss can trigger insomnia and other physical symptoms. Both hosts share personal anecdotes to highlight the pervasive impact of family disruptions and relational stressors on sleep patterns and mental health. The dialogue underscores how medical trauma exacerbates feelings of vulnerability and helplessness, often leading to severe insomnia.

    The hosts explore the complicated interplay between trauma-related HPA axis dysregulation and sleep cycles. Dysregulated cortisol levels, triggered by trauma, disrupt the natural circadian rhythm, leading to sleep issues such as frequent awakenings and trouble achieving deep sleep. Jennifer and Elisabeth emphasize that while general sleep hygiene recommendations—such as reducing screen time and exposure to natural light—are useful, they often fall short for trauma survivors. For this group, insomnia is connected more deeply to stress and attachment-related issues, necessitating specialized approaches to treatment.

    Throughout the discussion, the hosts provide insights into the physiological processes governing sleep, such as homeostatic sleep drive (Process S) and circadian rhythm (Process C). They offer practical advice like morning light exposure and winding down before bed. They also explain how REM and non-REM sleep stages contribute to emotional processing and memory consolidation, making sleep an essential component of recovery and mental health. The episode concludes with actionable tips for better sleep hygiene and stress management, acknowledging the intricate challenges faced by those dealing with complex PTSD and trauma-induced insomnia.

    Topics Discussed

    Secure Attachment and Stress

    : The impact of losing secure attachments, leading to stress and insomnia.

    Family Disruption

    : How significant family breakdowns and ongoing conflict impact mental health and sleep.

    HPA Axis Dysregulation

    : The role of trauma in disrupting the HPA axis and elevating cortisol levels, affecting sleep cycles.

    Medical Trauma Impact

    : The link between medical trauma, vulnerability, and insomnia.

    Trauma and Circadian Rhythm

    : How trauma-related dysregulation affects the balance between melatonin and cortisol.

    Sleep Hygiene Tips

    : Practical strategies for better sleep, such as exposure to natural light and reducing screen time.

    REM and Non-REM Sleep

    : The importance of these sleep stages for emotional processing and memory consolidation.

    Emotional Flashbacks

    : How nighttime triggers emotional flashbacks associated with past trauma, disrupting sleep.

  • Autoimmune diseases are often labeled as "illnesses of the unknown." The medical field has yet to identify the root cause of these conditions, which are frequently considered incurable. However, a significant aspect might be overlooked: the role of trauma. Histories of abuse, trauma, and even early relational trauma during infancy are crucial factors in understanding the complex environment where autoimmune diseases may develop, and the role the nervous system regulation can play in the healing of autoimmune diseases.

    In today’s episode, our hosts Elisabeth and Jennifer sit down with functional mobility specialist and neuro-coach Anna Gieselman. After being diagnosed with Lupus at 36, Anna embarked on a multifaceted healing journey, utilizing therapy, medicine, and nervous system regulation to manage her autoimmune disease. Anna brings her expertise to this rich discussion about what autoimmune diseases really are and their characteristics, how shame and inflammation is linked, and how emotional processing and nervous system regulation is the key to healing autoimmune diseases, and much more.

    Humans are multidimensional beings, and when it comes to dis-ease, if we take a holistic approach, we are not just masking the symptoms with medication, but we are viewing these symptoms as clues to something deeper within us, wanting to finally be healed. Autoimmune disease is not a life sentence, although it may never fully go away, we can work with our bodies to create harmony and regulation in the body so we can reach a state of safety and ease.

    If you or someone you know is living with an autoimmune disease, don’t miss this insightful episode—and be sure to share it!


    Topics discussed in this episode:

    Anna’s journey with Lupus

    What is autoimmune disease and its characteristics

    Elisabeth’s history of trauma and autoimmune disease

    The underlying relational component of autoimmune disease

    Boundaries as an inherent part of our human experience

    The link between shame and inflammation

    Working with the body and nervous system to create safety

    The impact of emotional processing on the health of the body

    How self expression is a sign of healing

    Why neuroplasticity needs more “reps”

  • The amount of time and patience it takes to heal the body cannot be understated. Pushing our own personal boundaries to create a larger capacity to be witnessed and seen, can feel counterintuitive at times. However, if we can dig deep to understand how the nervous system attempts to protect us, even when it doesn’t feel like it, we can come to a place of deep compassion for ourselves and others to allow our bodies to feel safe again.

    In today’s episode, our hosts Elisabeth and Jennifer sit down with somatic practitioner, podcast host, and founder of Holistic Life Navigation, Luis Mojica, to discuss what it means to heal the body to live authentically rather than in a trauma response. In this conversation, our hosts and Luis unravel the complexities of somatic healing and how inflammation shows up in the body as a protective response. They also discuss how shame is actually stress and how that relates to our health, even in the most “optimal” health conditions, and how boundaries are the key to creating more connection with the self and others, and much more.

    Healing is not linear, sometimes it feels as if things are getting worse before they get better, however when we are trying to create safety in the body after years of dissociation, or being in our F responses, it takes consistent effort along with a healthy dose of faith and hope that things can and will become easier the more we believe that healing is possible.

    Join us to explore these topics and much more!


    Topics discussed in this episode:

    Understanding your capacity in somatic healing

    Why embodiment does not mean peace

    Emotional neglect associated with childhood body boundary violation

    How trauma states cause inflammation in the body

    Inflammation is the body protecting itself

    The connection between somatics and nutrition

    Inflammatory response from prolonged stress from shame

    The deep healing that comes from being witnessed and witnessing others

    Fawning vs. Boundaries

    Supporting constriction in somatic healing

    Patience that is required in healing the body

  • Our emotional and nervous systems are intricately connected. Our emotional states provide clues about the state of our nervous system, and vice versa. Conditions such as autoimmune diseases, gut health issues, pain, eczema, and psoriasis often trace back to complex trauma and nervous system dysregulation. These physical symptoms are our body’s protective responses. Viewing overall health from this perspective offers insights into how we can facilitate true healing by addressing nervous system health, rather than merely masking symptoms with medication.

    In today’s episode, host Elisabeth Kristkoff engages in a profound discussion with chiropractic practitioner Dr. Scherina, whose dedicated practice focuses on healing the nervous system for enhanced overall health and longevity. This enlightening conversation explores the profound impact of the nervous system on emotional and mental well-being, and conversely, how physical symptoms and diseases serve as signals of deeper underlying issues. Topics include the influence of birth trauma on prenatal nervous system development, the connection between complex trauma and gut health, and more.

    Traditional medical practices often overlook this holistic approach to healing. Conversations like these, featuring practitioners such as Dr. Scherina, who are committed to uncovering the root causes of bodily issues and promoting internal healing, are crucial. They challenge conventional health paradigms and encourage a reevaluation of what true healing entails.

    Tune in to this enlightening episode—it’s an opportunity not to be missed!


    Topics discussed in this episode:

    Everything in our physical and emotional bodies are connected

    How emotional repression manifests and tools to express emotion

    Birth trauma and the impacts of stress on a developing fetus

    Types of nervous system conditions Dr. Scherina sees in children

    What shifts Dr. Scherina sees in children when working with the nervous system

    The link between gut issues and complex trauma

    How every symptom and disease in the body is a protective output

    How to know what needs to be rewired

    Isolation vs. Connection

    Nervous system regulation is not a flat line

    There is no fast track to healing

  • For highly sensitive people (HSPs), the intensity of the world often feels magnified. Their heightened sensitivity makes them highly empathetic and deeply attuned to others' emotions. This allows them to form meaningful, compassionate connections. However, it can also lead to overwhelm. Everyday stimuli—like sounds, touch, smells, textures, and colors—can be particularly dysregulating for HSPs.

    This is why understanding where we fall on the sensitivity spectrum is crucial. By recognizing how we process sensory input, we can learn to regulate our experiences and harness our gifts, rather than suppressing them for the sake of coping.

    In today’s episode, hosts Elisabeth and Jennifer discuss the subjectivity of sensory experiences—how they're shaped, how they influence our overall health, and why two people can experience the same environment very differently. They also introduce NSI tools, which help manage overwhelm when sensory input becomes too intense. Finally, Elisabeth and Jennifer explore the behaviors that arise from sensory mismatches, and how high sensitivity influences these responses.

    While high sensitivity may feel both like a gift and a curse, at Trauma Rewired, we believe it can be transformed into a powerful asset. With NSI tools, anyone can expand their capacity for life and share their unique gifts with the world—free from shame or discomfort.

    Tune in to learn more about how you can harness your sensitivity and live more fully.


    Topics discussed in this episode:

    How our sensory experience impacts our overall health

    What is sensory processing disorder?

    Different ways we try and regulate sensory inputs

    What is a highly sensitive person?

    Is it possible to change your sensitivity level?

    How sensory information is processed in the brain

    Why it’s important to train the interoceptive system for accuracy and awareness

    Sensitivity is an evolutionarily selective trait and an adaptation to trauma

    What are behavioral activation and inhibition systems?

    Our subjective sensory experiences

    How to work with our nervous systems to harness our sensitivity

  • We live in an extremely overstimulating society, where information is coming at us from all angles, and the brain is constantly working to make sense of it all. As we continue to unravel and understand ADHD, we're beginning to see it not just as a disorder, but as an adaptive response to the world. With this perspective, we can work with ADHD more effectively and with greater empathy.

    In today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by Neuro-Somatic Intelligence (NSI) Coach Mari Del Luna, who specializes in trauma resolution and works with neurodivergent individuals. This conversation is packed with insights to help you better understand ADHD from an NSI perspective and reframe how it is approached. They explore why ADHD is not actually a deficit in attention, the reasons behind burnout and fatigue in those with ADHD, effective tools for managing ADHD, and how addiction can be a behavioral response to an overstimulating world—plus much more.

    Our brains and bodies are designed to seek safety and regulation by adapting to an overstimulating society. If we can learn compassionate tools to process information more effectively in the context of ADHD, we have a chance to bring relief to a growing population of neurodivergent individuals. It all starts with reframing and changing our perspective, and that’s what we aim to help you with today.

    Tune in to hear this and more!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

    Why ADHD is not a deficit in attention

    Fatigue associated with ADHD

    Hormonal reaction to sensory stimulus in ADHD

    How containment tools are key to working with ADHD

    Understanding high sensitivity in ADHD

    The role the cerebellum plays in expressing emotions

    How complex trauma develops in the brain

    What is attunement?

    How interoception works from an NSI perspective

    Addiction as a behavioral output to provide relief

    Alcohol dependency in social settings

  • What is a neurotypical world? Here at Trauma Rewired, we don’t believe it exists. As humans, we are biodynamic, unique, individuals that process the world around us differently. So understanding how that happens is key to unlocking our healing potential. Complex trauma adds another layer to the mix, which we believe is not separate from neurodivergence. The “extra” neural pathways reinforced by traumatic events to keep us safe is what shapes the neurodivergent spectrum.

    On today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by founder of Next Level Neuro, Matt Bush, to discuss how complex trauma IS neurodivergence. They take a deep dive into what goes on in the brain during development and when traumatic events happen, that result in shaping our neurodivergent superpowers. They also discuss how to hone in and take control of these unique nuances to better share our gifts with the world.

    Although we cannot change our past experiences, we can change how we process sensory information and rewire the brain to reinterpret triggers that may not be helpful. Through proper dosing of NSI tools, we want to show you how you can achieve that.

    So tune in to learn about this and more!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

    Does a neurotypical world exist?

    How neurodivergence effects sensory processing

    CPTS is ongoing relational trauma during development

    How everyone’s neurodivergence is experienced differently on a spectrum

    The chemical change that happens in the brain during stress responses

    The energy cost of self care and healing

    Rewiring the brain go reinterpret triggers

    Why does understanding how we process trauma matter?

    Will you lose your neurodivergent superpowers while you heal?

    Nurturing the body to be a place of rest and joy

  • There is a staggering number of adults with ADHD, autism, and neurodivergence, who have yet to be diagnosed. Even in the age of information, many adults don’t realize they are wired differently until their children are diagnosed. This can create all sorts of issues in the nervous system for these folks, by suppressing, repressing, masking their true selves, and feelings of inadequacy can take a toll. This is why a diagnosis is so important when it comes to these types of disorders, because once we can name and identify what is going on in our mind and body, we can learn how to work with our unique wiring and turn what once felt like a burden into a gift.

    On today’s episode, our hosts Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by clinical psychologist, researcher, and writer, Dr. Megan Anna Neff. They discuss neurodivergence, autism, ADHD, and its intricacies in children, adults, and the power of a diagnosis. They also discuss how these disorders can be easily masked, hidden behind feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness, and there is an eye opening discussion about how neurodivergence is complex trauma.

    We are just learning about how prevalent these disorders are, and how diagnosing them can be a challenge, especially in certain groups of people who have become really skilled at masking their symptoms. This is why these discussions are so important, especially with an expert like Dr. Megan Anna Neff, so we can understand ourselves and others on a deeper level and without judgment.

    Tune in for this and more!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

    Dr. Megan Anna Neff’s diagnosis journey

    The benefits of an autism diagnosis

    The impact of our disconnection from our humanness

    Is complex trauma a neurodivergence?

    Identifying with a neurodivergent diagnosis

    Dr. Megan Anna Nef’s first signs of neurodivergence

    Negative self talk that comes with neurodivergence

    How dissociation can be related to high sensitivity

    What is alexithymia and who does it affect?

    Gender bias in autism research

    Why Aspergers isn’t diagnosed anymore

    Neurodivergence is genetic

  • In a society where we are encouraged, and sometimes forced to conform, life can become quite dysregulating for neurodivergent people. Feeling misunderstood, not good enough, or wanting to fit in, suppresses a person’s ability to be in full self-expression and wreaks havoc on the nervous system. The isolation and shame associated with being neurodivergent can create its own protective outputs, adding another layer to the neurodivergent lens. However, our diversity and differences are what makes us special, which should be celebrated and integrated, not suppressed or corrected to meet a certain standard.

    On today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer go over neurodivergence and how NSI can be a great tool to regulate, accept, and integrate the unique and diverse abilities of neurodivergent people. Our hosts explain what neurodivergence is and touch on the stigma attached to it, as well as the disparities among genders and people of color when it comes to diagnosing neurodivergence. They also highlight the invaluable skills and strengths of neurodivergent people and their need in our society.

    Neurodivergence is so common, yet so misunderstood. If we can learn to accept ourselves just the way we are, we can offer our gifts to the world, which is so incredibly valuable. By rewiring how we talk to ourselves and our beliefs around what it means to be different in this way, we can walk a path toward healing and creating a more inclusive, diverse, and beautiful society.

    Be sure to tune in to hear this and more!



    Topics discussed in this episode:

    What is neurodivergence?

    Neurodiversity vs. neurodivergence

    Neurodivergence and concurrent mental health disorders

    The stigma attached to neurodivergence and its implications

    Underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis disparities within populations

    What is neurotypical?

    ACE scores and neurodivergence

    Negative self talk and inner criticism associated with neurodivergence

  • Our beliefs about ourselves and the world are so deeply ingrained in our being that every sensory input is filtered through the lens of these beliefs. Beliefs like, “I am not enough” or “I am unworthy”, can create maladaptive emotions, behaviors, or thoughts, and can cause a ton of stress on our nervous systems and result in illness or disease, especially when that belief is misaligned with who we truly are. Addressing our core beliefs and how they have shaped our identity, is so important to understanding how our nervous systems process the world around us.

    In this episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by a special guest, Piper Rose. Piper is a NeuroSomatic Relationship and Intimacy Coach, licenced hypnotherapist, and transformative ritualist, who owns and operates Shadow Play Coaching. Piper joins our hosts to discuss where beliefs live in our brains and how they’re formed, as well as their impact on our identities. They also discuss how receiving a diagnosis can be either a liberating experience or soaked in shame through identifying with what being diagnosed means to the self and others.

    To change a belief that isn’t serving us is so important in the healing process. It is the key to creating safety in the body and the precursor to living an authentic life in alignment. The good news is change is possible, and it happens by working with the nervous system, and we want to show you how. So tune in to today’s episode to learn about this and more!

    Topics discussed in this episode:

    Where do beliefs live in our brains?

    How beliefs are patterned

    The questions our brains are always asking us

    How core beliefs impact our identity

    The relational aspect of how our sense of self is created

    Why we self abandon

    The liberation and shame around identifying with a diagnosis

    Why belief change is so important

    How to work on the nervous system to change beliefs about oneself

  • In a society that often equates our worth with productivity, focusing on rest and recovery can feel unsafe, potentially leading to increased stress in both our minds and bodies. By challenging the need to be constantly productive and redefining our relationship with rest, we can uncover a common theme: doing more doesn’t always equate to achieving more. Whether that is career success, finances, healing, etc. Actually, the opposite can be true: the more we rest, the more productive we are able to be.

    In today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer invite entrepreneur, best-selling author, and mother of two, Kate Northrup, to discuss how crucial rest and recovery are for the success of our businesses, families, and overall well-being. They emphasize the importance of feeling safe when resting, especially for those who may not be accustomed to it due to past experiences with rest, or lack thereof, shaped by family or societal influences. Kate also touches on her frameworks discussed in her book Do Less, and how they can help reframe how we view rest.

    It’s no wonder our society is burnt out and exhausted when we are constantly told that we aren’t doing enough, often pushing ourselves to the brink. It can feel like an uphill battle trying to keep up or excel, especially while exhausted. Collectively, our nervous systems are in need of a gentle touch, which requires rest, whether that is passive or active. So we want to give you a peek into the importance of priming your nervous system for rest and reframing how to incorporate rest into your life today.

    Join us to learn about this and more!


    Topics discussed in this episode:

    Why Kate Northrup wrote her book “Do Less”?

    How sleep is crucial for emotional wellbeing

    The lack of felt safety to rest in business

    Passive rest vs. active rest

    Tapping into the cyclical nature of being human

    Kate’s regenerative farming metaphor for rest in life and business

    What is Pareto’s principle and how Kate used it in her business

    Kate’s Upward Cycle of Success framework

    Toxic patriarchy and its influence on how the lack of rest is rewarded

  • Depression is one of the most researched mood disorders, but if we look a bit deeper into how depression is able to develop, it is more nuanced than we think. This means, treating depression isn’t a one size fits all solution.

    It is agreed upon that depression is a chemical imbalance and can be treated with SSRIs or SNRIs, etc., which can work for some, but this doesn’t always work for everyone. Understanding what happens in the body and brain when it comes to nervous system outputs and how we are wired, as well as our connection to nature and sunlight, we can start to understand the complexities of depression, and find ways to treat it at an individual level.

    In today’s episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer are joined by Matt Bush to talk about depression, chronic fatigue and functional freeze, and how they are all interlinked with one another. They discuss myths about depression and how pharmaceuticals aren’t the only, or best, way to treat depression. Also, how we may become wired toward depression at a young age by witnessing and mimicking caregivers in their own depressive states and how social connection, nature, and neurodrills that produce domaine, can help rewire the brain.

    Depression can look and feel insidious, but its main function is to be protective. If we reframe the way we look at depression, we can be effective in healing it.

    Join us to learn about this and more!


    Topics discussed in this episode:

    Different levels of freeze responses

    The overlap of functional freeze and burnout

    Chronic fatigue as a protective output

    What is depression?

    Some myths about depression

    Are pharmaceuticals necessary to treat depression?

    How depression can be wired into us by mimicking our primary caregivers

    Social connection as a way to rewire depression

    Dopamine’s role in the correlation between addiction and depression

    How neurodrills can rewire and change brain chemistry

    Nature as a healing tool

    The socioeconomic and cultural impact on the nervous system

  • magine a flame that isn’t receiving adequate fuel, slowly dying down. This is a great visualization of what happens in the body when we are experiencing burnout. When we push past our capacity and boundaries, while doing things that may not be authentic or aligned with us, we are essentially burning through our reserves faster than we can replenish them.

    This is so common for people to experience in our society, with so many pressures to do more constantly. The demand it has on our physical, mental, and emotional health is greater than we think. This is not to villainize growth, growth is good, but taking the time for rest and recovery is essential for that growth to be sustainable.

    In this episode, our hosts Elisabeth and Jennifer discuss what burnout means, and dive deep into the science behind what happens in the body when we push ourselves further than our capacities can handle, and end up feeling tired, dissociated, and uninspired. They touch on the warning signs of burnout, as well as possible causes, such as social media, self abandonment, attachment styles, and socioeconomic pressures.

    The Western world rewards those who push themselves whether that is through physical training, needing to be at every event to maintain social connections, or even in our own somatic healing. Doing more, in less time, has become so intertwined in our culture, it’s no wonder so many of us experience high levels of stress and burnout, when it doesn’t have to be that way.

    Tune in to learn about burnout and learn the importance of rest and recovery so you can live a more present, fulfilling life, with your best foot forward.

    You don’t want to miss this one!


    Topics discussed in this episode:

    What is burnout? Getting real with our capacity Adrenal burnout and cortisol levels How sleep and rest is crucial for integration and repair How social media and blue light exposure adds to the stress bucket What is functional freeze? Misalignment and inauthenticity’s role in burnout How the cognitive load of high sensory input can affect stress levels Being performative as an indicator of burnout The different ways we exceed our capacity How women and men differ when it comes to stress levels
