How hidden trauma shows up as chronic illness (Mitch's story)

Meet Mitch. Today’s share is all about his story (which echoes the story of so many people).

After a nearly 20-year journey of trying to heal from chronic disease and multiple shock traumas, Mitch finally feels like he’s found the metaphorical “needle in a haystack” that he’s been looking for all along with nervous system work.

And, as a health & wellness coach, and now a Scientuitive Practitioner-In-Training, learning how to become his own medicine was just the beginning of a much deeper transformation for him.

A few highlights from my first (but I’m sure not last) long-form chat with Mitch:

Mitch’s personal and professional history (aka: what led him here)
How shock trauma can awake the sleeping giant of stored trauma
Why our symptoms can give us information when we don’t try to “fix” them
The deeper roots of everything from long covid to hypervigilance & anxiety
The possible connection between night terrors and birth or past life trauma
Mitch’s experience of limbic system work (DNRS) vs. the SBSM approach
How he knew that he was actually getting into his old, stored survival stress
The difference between creating a “state shift” and building true regulation
And so much more…
