January’s Spiritual Conversations in Trauma Healing podcast discusses “Regulating Oneself is Not the End”. It often occurs that the process of regulating oneself emotionally and somatically from past trauma from childhood abuse can lead to possibly memory bypassing in not wanting to deal with deeper, unconscious issues. Judy Dragon and Debbie Zeits explore why, when, and how this happens. They share how the brain responds to trauma memories that become unconscious, starting and stopping of the memory work, dissociation of feelings, and what ‘somatizing’ can indicate. Judy finishes the conversation with a meditation to affirm the journey of the unconscious.

Enjoy!
