Episode notes
Trauma Is A Nervous System Overwhelm
- Trauma is defined as anything too fast, too soon, or too big for your nervous system to regulate.
- Tia uses this to explain why similar events traumatize people differently depending on physiological regulation capacity.
How Spiritual Bypassing Harms Healing
- Spiritual bypassing invalidates feelings by using faith talk to skip grief and regulation.
- Tia shows phrases like "remember what Jesus went through" can silence processing and worsen dissociation and shutdown.
Regulate Your Body Before Big Decisions
- Treat psychological shock like physiological shock: slow your heart rate, tend basic needs, and only resume heavy decisions once regulated.
- Tia links fight/flight activation to impaired thinking and recommends parasympathetic grounding before deliberation.
