Healing Beyond Labels: Understanding Trauma and Your Nervous System

  • Focus on patterns of cause and effect to address the impact of trauma
  • Set boundaries for self-care and prioritise physiological healing
  • Avoid over-intellectualizing and concentrate on feeling emotions
  • Work with professionals to heal the nervous system for true recovery
  • Stop over-pathologizing to prevent stalling and self-sabotage in healing journey
Your nervous system has been damaged. It's wiring has been messed up. Your brain has been messed up. That nervous system that has been traumatized does not give a plug your ears here. If you're sensitive, it doesn't give a fuck what the label is.
Ever find yourself endlessly searching for reasons behind someone's hurtful behavior? In this episode of 'Practical Growth', E.B. Johnson takes a deep dive into why pinpointing labels like 'narcissist' or 'BPD' might not be the answer your nervous system needs. Instead of getting tangled in the web of pathologizing trauma, Johnson encourages listeners to focus on what truly matters: healing and moving forward.
She shares her own journey and practical steps to help you shift your focus from the 'why' to the 'how' of recovery. Expect real talk on setting boundaries, understanding cause-and-effect patterns, and prioritizing your physiological well-being. Johnson's candid and compassionate approach offers a refreshing perspective on trauma recovery, making this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking genuine healing.
