VISUALIZE: Neuro- Attachment Style Development, Triggers, and Transience
You know, I said I was going to make visuals and videos. And I’m a MF of my word.
Here’s my (less dirty) mug, and the ways I tend to visualize the neuro-development, maintenance, and routine triggerings of relationship behavioral instructions (AKA attachment strategies).
1.2. What is Trauma? Brain Mechanism of PTSD
Explore the neurological basis of trauma in this informative podcast episode. Learn about the brain’s memory systems, how trauma disrupts neural networks, and the physiological processes behind PTSD symptoms. Gain insights into the cognitive and emotional challenges faced by trauma survivors and understand the foundations of trauma recovery.
✭✭ 5.33 Progress Halted: Your Trauma-Self
This episode explores the concept of the “trauma self” and its impact on recovery. We delve into how traumatic experiences can create rigid neural patterns that resist change, leading to fixed mindsets and avoidant behaviors. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing these patterns in ourselves and others, particularly in relationships. By understanding the trauma self, we can begin to challenge our resistance to growth and develop more flexible, adaptive ways of thinking and behaving. While the journey is challenging, awareness and consistent effort can help us move beyond the limitations of our trauma-based neural networks.

✭✭✭ 5.26 Early Release! YOU v. BRAIN v. PROGRAMMING pt II
Understanding the intricate workings of neural networks can be a powerful tool in trauma recovery. This episode explores how our brains create and maintain neural connections, often leading to unhelpful thought patterns and responses. By visualizing these networks as branching trees, we can better comprehend how trauma affects our thinking and behavior. The concept of neural network overlaps and compartmentalization helps explain many common trauma symptoms. Recognizing the distinction between our conscious selves and our brain’s automatic programming allows for greater agency in healing. This perspective offers hope for rewiring trauma responses and creating healthier neural pathways.
✭✭✭✭ 5.19 Family Brain Hijinks (Pt III of Brain Patterning Series)
This episode explores the intricate relationship between family dynamics, neural networks, and generational trauma. It delves into how early childhood experiences shape our brain patterns and influence our adult relationships. The discussion covers mental abuse tactics, the challenges of maintaining boundaries with toxic family members, and the potential benefits of limiting or cutting contact. Understanding these mechanisms can help individuals recognize unhealthy patterns and make informed decisions about their family relationships in the context of trauma recovery.
✭✭✭✭✭ 5.18 Early Release! Connection Addicts: Explaining Toxic Relationships
This episode explores the neurobiology of human connection, focusing on mirror neurons, emotional contagion, and synchrony. It delves into how early childhood experiences shape our brain patterns and affect our relationships throughout life. The discussion highlights the biological drive for connection and its potential pitfalls for trauma survivors. By understanding these mechanisms, individuals can gain insight into their relationship patterns and the importance of boundaries. This knowledge can be a powerful tool in trauma recovery and personal growth.
