Podcasts by Nicole

1. The Inner Wounded Child

The Inner Wounded Child may be a construct. It is a part of who we are. It is a part of our identity. If you are not sure you have one perhaps just ask yourselves:
1. When was the last time you just freaked out and surprised yourself?
2. A time that you were so upset and emotional about something that it felt like it sucked the life right out of you?
3. A feeling of 'hollowness"/emptiness thats unexplainable?

2. The Inner Wounded Child: Part 2

Trauma may not only be about the incident or incidents, it may actually be about the individuals nervous system and the brain function to process the intensity of the overwhelming and distressing of whatever is happening in the experience. The impact of fear on attachment and unmet needs/developmental stages introduction to psychological trauma.

3. The Inner Wounded Child: Part 3 - Intergenerational Trauma

A mechanistic view of trauma theory from the lens of PTSS (Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome). Cultivating cross-cultural non-oppressive dynamics and practices - 'Birds Eye View' of racism as trauma and oppression/repression as trauma and/or re-traumatization with possibly no emotional closure around the events of the African American racial heritage and historical context.

4. The Inner Wounded Child: Part 4 - Formation of Identity and Development

How does the CORE SOMATIC SELF become to be? Our inner world may be our core somatic self perhaps based on attachment injuries that effect the child's/adult survivor neurological response to attachment (fear, shame, anger), fatal flaw (my needs are wrong cause mom and dad are unable to sense my needs) and loss of identity. Our identity may be formed around unmet attachment meaning when there are unmet developmental needs it is easier to survive if it's 'my fault' (as a child) and I am the problem = survival strategies/constructs that form around the wound/core somatic self. The magic in the need for empathy, the need to be seen and understood clinically to perhaps begin re-wiring neurons for the client in pursuit (varying visual and visceral techniques) to address the current theory of mind.
