  • Why Perfectionism Feels Like Survival for the Rejection-Sensitive Brain

    Why Perfectionism Feels Like Survival for the Rejection-Sensitive Brain
    Jul 14 2025
    Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ What if perfectionism isn’t ambition, but a nervous system reflex for survival? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we’re joined by returning guest Piper Rose of ShadowPlay Coaching to explore perfectionism and rejection sensitivity through a neuroscience and trauma-informed lens. We reframe perfectionism as a high-cost survival strategy rooted in complex trauma, societal conditioning, and early nervous system adaptations. Together, Elisabeth Kristof, Jennifer Wallace, and Piper unpack how perfectionistic behaviors can emerge as reflexive responses to rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), relational trauma, and the need for social safety. You’ll learn the neurobiology of rejection, the health costs of chronic perfectionism, and how to shift from performance and people-pleasing into embodied wholeness. The episode offers practical tools and empowering frameworks for understanding the somatic roots of perfectionism and reclaiming your internal safety and authenticity. This is a deeply validating conversation for anyone who’s ever felt like they had to earn love, approval, or belonging through being “perfect.” Topics discussed in this episode: Why perfectionism is a survival response, not a personality trait How rejection sensitivity forms in the nervous system The difference between perfectionism and growth-oriented excellence Why our brains respond to social rejection like physical pain The “garden” metaphor for complex trauma and coping How societal systems reinforce performance-based self-worth Chronic illness and the cost of emotional suppression The link between self-sacrifice and autoimmune conditions Why the nervous system must be regulated before healing perfectionism How somatic work shifts self-rejection into self-acceptance The paradox of people-pleasing and codependency Reclaiming energy and creativity from high-resource coping mechanisms Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ To learn more about Piper Rose and Shadow Play coaching, head to https://piperrosecoaching.com/ Connect with Piper on Instagram by heading to https://www.instagram.com/shadowplaycoaching/ Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

  • What is Parentification? A nervous system deep dive

    What is Parentification? A nervous system deep dive
    Jul 7 2025
    Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ What if the invisible responsibilities you carried as a child are still shaping your adult life? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore parentification—a hidden form of childhood trauma where children are forced to become the emotional or physical caretakers of their parents. Whether you managed your parent’s emotions or became “the responsible one” too early, these patterns can wire your nervous system for survival rather than safety—and the impact is long-term. Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof unpack how emotional and instrumental parentification lead to chronic stress, emotional repression, gut dysfunction, and deeply rooted perfectionism. You’ll learn why healing isn’t about changing your parents, but about reclaiming autonomy in your own nervous system through boundary setting, grief integration, and somatic repatterning. We break down how these early adaptations become nervous system defaults—like freeze, fawn, and shame—and how to begin shifting them using neuro-somatic tools that regulate stress, restore connection, and return you to your body. This episode is both validating and empowering: you are not broken—you were overloaded. And healing starts when you stop carrying what was never yours to hold. Topics discussed in this episode: ● What parentification is and why it’s often invisible ● The difference between emotional and instrumental parentification ● How parentification leads to chronic shame, perfectionism, and nervous system dysregulation ● The impact of childhood stress on gut health and inflammation ● How emotional repression starts in childhood and lives in the body ● Why boundaries feel threatening—but are essential for healing ● The link between freeze, fawn, and CPTSD ● How nervous system repatterning rewires your relational responses ● The role of somatic practice in processing stored grief and guilt ● Why your healing won’t change others—but it will change you ● How to reclaim your emotional autonomy and rewrite survival-based wiring Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification:https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

  • Fear Memory, The Brain, And The Roots of PTSD

    Fear Memory, The Brain, And The Roots of PTSD
    Jun 30 2025
    Why do some people develop PTSD after trauma while others recover? What if it’s not about the trauma itself, but the state of your nervous system when it happens? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we’re joined again by Matt Bush, founder of Next Level Neuro and a lead educator in the Neurosomatic Intelligence program, for a deep dive into the latest PTSD research and how it’s reshaping what we know about trauma, memory, and healing. We explore how traumatic memories start out as broad fear associations, and why the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are essential for integrating those experiences into coherent, time-specific memories. We break down the overlap between PTSD and CPTSD, how trauma affects neurodevelopment in childhood and adulthood, and why nervous system regulation is essential for trauma recovery. You’ll learn how practices like somatic movement and proprioceptive training build the brain’s capacity to reprocess fear, improve emotional regulation, and create real, lasting change. This episode offers a powerful reframe: healing trauma isn’t about reliving the past, it’s about training the nervous system to safely reintegrate it. Topics discussed in this episode: ● Why PTSD doesn’t depend on the event itself ● How fear memories are stored in the brain ● The role of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex ● Differences between PTSD and complex PTSD ● How anxiety disrupts fear memory integration ● The brain's adaptive outputs: what symptoms really mean ● Why CPTSD is rooted in relational trauma ● Cerebellum’s surprising role in emotional regulation ● Somatic tools to activate memory integration ● How movement helps rewire trauma responses ● Creating safety for nervous system reintegration Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://www.neurosomatic.com/leadership Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 Connect with Matt Bush: https://www.nextlevelneuro.com/ FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.
