  • Taming Overstimulation When Your Nervous System Screams

    Taming Overstimulation When Your Nervous System Screams
    2025/09/08
    In this episode, Gregory explores the challenging experience of OVERSTIMULATION in those with COMPLEX TRAUMA. He explains why trauma survivors often have nervous systems that react intensely to ordinary stimuli, creating overwhelming sensory experiences that can trigger FIGHT-FLIGHT-FREEZE responses. Through personal stories and listener experiences, Gregory compassionately unpacks the NEUROBIOLOGICAL foundations of sensory sensitivity while offering practical REGULATION TECHNIQUES to help listeners manage overwhelming moments and gradually expand their WINDOW OF TOLERANCE.

    Key Takeaways
    • Overstimulation isn't weakness but your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do to keep you safe • Trauma survivors often have narrower windows of tolerance and heightened sensory processing sensitivity • Recognizing early warning signs of overwhelm allows you to take action before reaching critical threshold • Creating sensory-friendly environments and practicing regular nervous system maintenance reduces overstimulation frequency • Self-compassion and boundary-setting are essential skills for managing sensory needs without shame

    What You'll Discover
    • How trauma physically rewires the brain's threat-detection and sensory processing systems • Why overstimulation can manifest differently for each person based on their unique trauma history • Practical techniques for calming your nervous system during acute overwhelm episodes • The importance of creating "sensory sanctuaries" and honoring your specific sensory needs • How to communicate your sensory requirements to others without apology or excessive explanation

    Resources Mentioned
    • "The Body Keeps the Score" by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk • Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory research on autonomic nervous system regulation • Dr. Dan Siegel's Window of Tolerance framework for understanding nervous system capacity • 2019 study in Journal of Affective Disorders on mindfulness interventions for sensory processing • Dr. Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing approach for nervous system regulation

    Next week, Gregory will explore the difference between triggers and reactions, helping you distinguish when you've been triggered versus when you're having a normal response to difficult situations, along with skilled ways to handle both.

  • Creating a Calm Mind When Your Brain Craves Chaos

    Creating a Calm Mind When Your Brain Craves Chaos
    2025/09/08
    In this episode, Gregory explores the challenging yet essential journey of creating a calm mind for trauma survivors. He unpacks what true calm means for those with CPTSD and shares research-backed nervous system regulation techniques specifically designed for trauma-affected brains. Through community stories and scientific insights, Gregory offers practical tools that acknowledge the reality of hypervigilance while providing accessible pathways to finding islands of peace, even when your brain is convinced that scanning for danger is a full-time job.

    Key Takeaways
    • A calm mind for trauma survivors isn't about never feeling triggered but building a relationship with your nervous system • You can't think your way to calm—you must speak the language of sensation and rhythm • "State-dependent memory" helps you access regulation techniques when you need them most • Finding what works for YOUR unique nervous system matters more than following generic advice • Consistent practice of regulation techniques can literally rewire your nervous system over time

    What You'll Discover
    • Simple orienting techniques that help your brain locate itself in time and space • How physical interventions like cold water can instantly reset an activated nervous system • The science behind why rhythm and movement are powerful regulators for trauma survivors • Practical ways to create distance from racing thoughts without fighting them • Community stories of finding unexpected pathways to inner peace

    Resources Mentioned
    • "The Body Keeps the Score" by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk • Dr. Stephen Porges' research on Polyvagal Theory and safety signals • 2019 meta-analysis in Clinical Psychology Review on mindfulness interventions for trauma • Kristin Neff's research on self-compassion and physiological stress responses • 2020 review in Ecopsychology on nature-based interventions for mental health

    Next week, Gregory will explore overstimulation and sensory processing challenges common in trauma survivors. You'll discover why certain environments feel overwhelming and learn practical strategies that have been game-changers for the CPTSD community.
