What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this engaging episode of Brain Shaman, Michael Waite sits down with Mary Petto, a Rapid Turmoil Resolution specialist, to discuss the hidden dynamics of trauma and its grip on our subconscious. Mary sheds light on how trauma embeds itself deep within, often leading us into mental loops that seem inescapable.
With a knack for storytelling and metaphors, she shares how these can communicate effectively with our inner mind to break free from the shackles of past experiences. Mary passionately explains why traditional talk therapy might not always be effective, as it often involves reliving the trauma without addressing its subconscious roots. Instead, she advocates for Rapid Turmoil Resolution, a method that aims to unkink the emotional hose, allowing one to move towards a state of calm and neutrality.
Her approach is likened to getting a haircut, where she helps snip away the turmoil without needing the client to delve into painful memories repeatedly. The conversation also touches on the roles of our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Mary proposes a controversial yet intriguing idea that our sympathetic nervous system, once crucial for survival in the wild, might now be more of a hindrance than a help in our modern lives.
With humour and empathy, this episode provides insights into how you can begin to rewrite your own narrative, turning trauma into a mere dodo bird—harmless and irrelevant. So, are you ready to unkink your emotional hose and let your healing journey begin?
