EP 546: Chris Rackliffe – Healing From Emotional Wounds and Trauma

What does it mean to take a trauma-informed approach to emotional healing?

When it comes to understanding ourselves, many of us don’t realize we experienced trauma. Being cheated on, having an alcoholic parent, are big T trauma. Many of us have experienced little T trauma, and those things impact us now. It’s a lens to understand what is happening to us now. We need to identify where our nervous system deregulation began.

Understand how it all manifests in your body.

What is nervous system regulation? Why is it important, and how can someone practice it?

Your nervous system is wired to keep you safe. When you’re growing up, you’re a sponge, picking up everything from the environment – what to eat, how to have relationships. When we experience instability or inconsistency at a young age, we are impacted greatly. The more trauma, the more you’ll have unhealthy ways of coping in life and your relationships will be unstable.

Dysregulation is overreactivity to our environment. We learn to stabilize our environment by changing ourselves so we can be calm. We feel other people’s feelings to feel safe. We dismiss our own feelings both verbally and in our bodies.

How to regulate your nervous system? Take better care of yourself – sleep well, hydrate and eat well, exercise. When you begin to take care of yourself, you’ll stabilize your environment and have more capacity for self-regulation and balance. Meditation, cold showers, and breathwork are also critical for training your nervous system.

What are the most important takeaways for listeners regarding emotional healing? What do they need to focus on most?

It will be hard. You can let it go. But, you cannot do this alone. It’s important to heal with support. Start with someone you can lean on. You don’t need closure to heal. You can visualize what someone who hurt you might say to you, what you’d want them to say, that’s a game changer and very healing. You can also write letters to those who hurt you and read them aloud to yourself or someone you trust.

What are your final words of advice for anyone who wants to go on their last first date?

If you really want lasting, stable, consistent relationships, you have to bring stability into your life and create it. The romantic partner is not the knight in shining armor. It’s important to select the right partner, but you have healthier relationships when you become more secure yourself. Step more fully into your power by taking care of yourself and supporting yourself with someone who can help you. Date yourself first. Validate yourself.
