This week in The Labia Lounge I invited Cody Isabel from Mind Brain Body Lab to come on and give us a neuroscientist's perspective on toxic relationships, healing from trauma, and breaking free from abusive dynamics. We explore the tendency for people to intellectualize their traumas without experiencing significant progress in therapy. Cody emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and nurturing negative emotions while highlighting the concerns about reinforcing negative neural pathways. With a focus on practical ways to diffuse the power of addictive, drama and abuse cycles, we discuss the significance of somatic experiences and nervous system regulation techniques. The conversation also explores the modality of internal family systems (IFS) and the neuroscience of trauma bonding, as well as practical strategies for healing and breaking toxic patterns when recovering after a break-up. Join us as we navigate through the intricacies of trauma recovery, emotional healing, and the complexities of leaving abusive relationships.
