Emotional Repression, Processing, and Healing

In this episode, we delve into the profound connection between trauma, attachment wounds, and insomnia. We begin by discussing how secure attachments, particularly with family members like grandparents, can mitigate stress but their loss can trigger insomnia and other physical symptoms. Both hosts share personal anecdotes to highlight the pervasive impact of family disruptions and relational stressors on sleep patterns and mental health. The dialogue underscores how medical trauma exacerbates feelings of vulnerability and helplessness, often leading to severe insomnia. The hosts explore the complicated interplay between trauma-related HPA axis dysregulation and sleep cycles. Dysregulated cortisol levels, triggered by trauma, disrupt the natural circadian rhythm, leading to sleep issues such as frequent awakenings and trouble achieving deep sleep. Jennifer and Elisabeth emphasize that while general sleep hygiene recommendations—such as reducing screen time and exposure to natural light—are useful, they often fall short for trauma survivors. For this group, insomnia is connected more deeply to stress and attachment-related issues, necessitating specialized approaches to treatment. Throughout the discussion, the hosts provide insights into the physiological processes governing sleep, such as homeostatic sleep drive (Process S) and circadian rhythm (Process C). They offer practical advice like morning light exposure and winding down before bed. They also explain how REM and non-REM sleep stages contribute to emotional processing and memory consolidation, making sleep an essential component of recovery and mental health. The episode concludes with actionable tips for better sleep hygiene and stress management, acknowledging the intricate challenges faced by those dealing with complex PTSD and trauma-induced insomnia.

<description>&lt;p data-pm-slice="1 3 []"&gt;In this episode, we delve into the profound connection between trauma, attachment wounds, and insomnia. We begin by discussing how secure attachments, particularly with family members like grandparents, can mitigate stress but their loss can trigger insomnia and other physical symptoms. Both hosts share personal anecdotes to highlight the pervasive impact of family disruptions and relational stressors on sleep patterns and mental health. The dialogue underscores how medical trauma exacerbates feelings of vulnerability and helplessness, often leading to severe insomnia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The hosts explore the complicated interplay between trauma-related HPA axis dysregulation and sleep cycles. Dysregulated cortisol levels, triggered by trauma, disrupt the natural circadian rhythm, leading to sleep issues such as frequent awakenings and trouble achieving deep sleep. Jennifer and Elisabeth emphasize that while general sleep hygiene recommendations—such as reducing screen time and exposure to natural light—are useful, they often fall short for trauma survivors. For this group, insomnia is connected more deeply to stress and attachment-related issues, necessitating specialized approaches to treatment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Throughout the discussion, the hosts provide insights into the physiological processes governing sleep, such as homeostatic sleep drive (Process S) and circadian rhythm (Process C). They offer practical advice like morning light exposure and winding down before bed. They also explain how REM and non-REM sleep stages contribute to emotional processing and memory consolidation, making sleep an essential component of recovery and mental health. The episode concludes with actionable tips for better sleep hygiene and stress management, acknowledging the intricate challenges faced by those dealing with complex PTSD and trauma-induced insomnia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Topics Discussed&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secure Attachment and Stress&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;: The impact of losing secure attachments, leading to stress and insomnia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Family Disruption&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;: How significant family breakdowns and ongoing conflict impact mental health and sleep.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HPA Axis Dysregulation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;: The role of trauma in disrupting the HPA axis and elevating cortisol levels, affecting sleep cycles.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medical Trauma Impact&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;: The link between medical trauma, vulnerability, and insomnia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trauma and Circadian Rhythm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;: How trauma-related dysregulation affects the balance between melatonin and cortisol.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sleep Hygiene Tips&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;: Practical strategies for better sleep, such as exposure to natural light and reducing screen time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REM and Non-REM Sleep&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;: The importance of these sleep stages for emotional processing and memory consolidation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Emotional Flashbacks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;: How nighttime triggers emotional flashbacks associated with past trauma, disrupting sleep.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now! &lt;a href= "https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com/"&gt;https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: &lt;a href= "https://www.rewiretrial.com/"&gt;https://www.rewiretrial.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! &lt;a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846"&gt;https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: &lt;a href= "https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired"&gt;https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique &lt;a href= "https://www.podcastboutique.com/"&gt;https://www.podcastboutique.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.
