“When we are releasing that, it's not releasing the memory of events or anything. When the frozen energy is out of your system, your brain automatically assumes, okay, the event is over. And that activates your nervous system again and again.”
Imagine traveling through Asia, witnessing the pain of traumatized communities and the healing that follows. That's the journey Sae Kani takes us on in this episode of Brain Shaman. Michael Waite chats with Sae, a TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercise) trainer, life coach, and former humanitarian worker, who has spent years helping communities recover after natural disasters. But what does it really mean to heal trauma, and why doesn't traditional humanitarian aid always work?
Sae sheds light on these questions and more. She explores how body-based exercises like TRE can shift our thinking, emotions, and even the stories we tell ourselves. You'll learn why our nervous system is wired for connection, how body language can make others feel safe or threatened, and why our mind sometimes overrides gut feelings. Sae also dives into how socioeconomic factors and child-rearing practices influence resilience to trauma.
This episode is packed with insights that not only highlight the importance of reconnecting with our bodies but also offer practical ways to integrate trauma and achieve a sense of calm. Whether you're interested in mental health, humanitarian work, or just looking for ways to better understand yourself and others, this conversation is a must-listen.
