Trauma, the Body, and the Why We Can’t Think Our Way Out of Deep Cellular Wounding

🌟Reconditioning through mindfulness and embodiment | Matt Licata🌟
In this insightful video, Matt Licata invites you to explore the deeper layers of healing beyond just thinking differently. Could it be that real transformation happens when we reconnect with our body and nervous system? Matt explains how emotions and trauma stored in the body play a vital role in true healing, offering practical tips on how to recondition your nervous system through mindfulness and embodiment practices. If you’ve been feeling disconnected or seeking a deeper level of healing, this video is for you. 💫
❖ Key Concepts Covered:
◇ Cognitive Bias in Healing: Healing is often seen as a mental process, but this overlooks deeper, embodied factors.
◇ Emotional Roots: Many emotions stem from suppressed or unlived feelings stored in the body.
◇ Disembodiment: Modern society’s disconnection from physical sensations makes healing more challenging.
◇ Trauma and Early Development: Early trauma causes long-lasting patterns of disassociation from the body.
◇ Nervous System Tuning: The nervous system becomes subconsciously conditioned to detect danger.
◇ Neuroception: A non-conscious process that alerts the body to potential threats.
◇ Protective Mechanisms: Many protect themselves by shutting down emotionally, often due to relational trauma.
◇ Reconditioning: Healing requires creating new neural pathways through daily embodiment practices.
◇ Mindfulness and Embodiment: Reconnecting with the body helps disrupt habitual mental patterns.
Gentle Self-Awareness: By anchoring ourselves in the present, we allow for deeper healing and re-embodiment.
