Transcript
- 0:10Or welcome back to the Trauma Dippist podcast. My name is Gaming Person.
- 0:14My mission is to help trauma therapist be their incredible selves, to be human,
- 0:19to be real, not just a clinician. I'm a big believer in
- 0:23who we are is more important than what we know, and this requires cultivating
- 0:27authenticity, genuineness, and vulnerability, and that requires intention. Can learn more
- 0:33about my courses and workshops by going to the Trauma Therapist project dot com.
- 0:37That's the Trauma Therapist Project dot com. Let's get started, all right,
- 0:43guys, Welcome back to the Trauma Therapist Podcast. Super excited to have back
- 0:47on the podcast. Sarah Peyton, Sarah welcome. Oh, I'm so happy
- 0:51to be here. All right. So Sarah joined us back on episode two
- 0:55hundred and sixty. She's a certified trainer of non violent community teaches people how
- 1:00language changes relationship in the brain. Sarah works with audiences internationally you could create
- 1:07a compassionate understanding of the effects of relational trauma on the brain, and writes
- 1:11about and teaches people how words change and heal us. Her special interest is
- 1:15the way that difficult events impact our autonomic brain patterning and how to transform our
- 1:21tendencies towards self criticism into self worth. Her first book, Your Resonant Self
- 1:26Guided Meditations and Exercises to engage your brain's capacity for healing is out. Sarah,
- 1:34welcome back. Thank you. I'm so glad to be here. All
- 1:37right. So let me tell you something. And I don't know if I
- 1:41share this to you when I asked you invited you back on here, but
- 1:47you're one of the people who when I think of this podcast and when I
- 1:52think of what I'm hoping to do with this podcast, which is to really
- 1:57focus on, you know, humanity, the relational aspect of engaging with someone
- 2:07working with someone who's been impacted by trauma, and what that implies and infers
- 2:15and means really for the person doing that work as well as a client.
- 2:21You're one of the people that I think epitomizes this work and so I mean
- 2:25that completely sincerely. So I'm super excited you're here. Oh. I love
- 2:31your work too, guy, and I'm very glad to be here. Awesome.
- 2:36So let's start out with quote. You said you had a quote that's
- 2:38gonna launch us. What do you have for us? I have the quote,
- 2:44let's be angry that rather than angry at so the idea of beginning to
- 2:51move this we're going to be thinking about yaka punk steps work today with them
- 2:54circuits of motivation and emotion and the way in which all of us have of
- 3:00what's called a rage circuit. We all have the capacity to move into the
- 3:06life serving energy of being able to say in a way no. So our
- 3:13bodies are mammal bodies and they are equipped with seven different circuits that punccept determined,
- 3:21and eight if you count the eighth, which is a very interesting one,
- 3:24which we'll talk about in a moment. But this idea of anger as
- 3:30a life serving force that is needed and necessary for all of us is hugely
- 3:35important when we begin to think about trauma and the healing of trauma, because
- 3:39so often we as little people, little children, have experienced being impacted by
- 3:47other people's anger or rage in ways that were different, dangerous, and not
- 3:53even vaguely life serving. So the idea that rage and anger can be a
- 3:59life being force is often almost mind boggling for people who are trying to heal
- 4:05from trauma. And yet if we don't reclaim it, we're leaving, almost
- 4:13like we're leaving a swath of embedded trauma that's preventing us from accessing our life
- 4:19energy. So, having said that, if we may circle back to the
- 4:26you're making the distinction between angry at or angry that, yeah, talk about
- 4:32that. Yeah. So oftentimes when we're small, people have been angry at
- 4:40us, or they've been angry at our mother, or they've been angry at
- 4:44their mother, or they've been angry at a person, and they bring this
- 4:48rage in interpersonal relationship with words, with actions, with force, with damage
- 4:59to furnace or with damage to households, to pets, to people, to
- 5:02self. And so of course we would say, for example, I'm not
- 5:10going to do that. I'm not going to be an angry person. I'm
- 5:13not going to go there, I Am not ever going to get angry.
- 5:16Many trauma survivors will have this almost as a promise to themselves, whether they
- 5:21can keep it or not, because of course anger breaks through. But then,
- 5:27of course if they have this agreement with themselves, there's a terrible guilt
- 5:30about the anger having broken through. And if we begin to move toward an
- 5:35understanding that we can be angry, that that we can be angry that life
- 5:41has turned out this way, that we can be angry that our boss is
- 5:46put in a position where he can't support us. If we can be angry
- 5:49that there's not enough money to pay the mortgage, if we can be angry
- 5:54that the world is set up in such a way that children don't get the
- 6:01opportunities that we want them to have. There's an entire we're starting to feel
- 6:05this difference. It's an embodied sense of of accessing protective and protective force and
- 6:15advocacy, right right, Okay, I'm shaking my head because I think I'm
- 6:19getting it. So in a sense, it's almost like you're you're making a
- 6:24distinction between being angry at someone or angry I'm angry at you for what you
- 6:30did, rather than angry at the action that angry that this happened, right
- 6:35right, right, Okay, So that's that's a huge It seems like a
- 6:41really big shift, And I can imagine what that would be like for someone
- 6:45not only on the receiving end, but also someone who's working with that person
- 6:51that you were talking about, someone who's on the receiving end of that use.
- 7:00These distinctions are one of the things that I think so intrigues me about
- 7:04about your work. How do you come up. What draws you to this?
- 7:12How do you? I don't know. I'm just kind of fascinated with
- 7:15the whole process. Well, most often what I'm doing is following some line
- 7:20of inquiry that comes from working with folks in my workshops or the questions that
- 7:28they bring. So somebody will say, what about anger? I don't ever
- 7:32want to be angry? And I'll think, wait a minute, I was
- 7:35just reading yak punk sp and we've all got an anger circuit. What's happening
- 7:40for this person if they're never getting angry? What happens inside of them?
- 7:44What kind of life energy are they having to turn away from? How are
- 7:47they having to divert life energy? And this starts to get interesting here,
- 7:53because we have all of these different circuits of emotion and motivation. One of
- 7:58them is what you know panks have called the rage circuit. Another one is
- 8:03the circuit for when we really miss somebody who's important to us. So for
- 8:09little mammals, it's the panic circuit of like the missing mother. But that
- 8:13panic circuit for little mammals holds all of our grief and our shame emotions.
- 8:20It holds the emotions of what I call alarmed a loneness, which is the
- 8:26experience of Often we'll call it abandonment in English, but that word tends to
- 8:35imply that somebody has abandoned us. So what if we call it alarmed a
- 8:39loneness and then we begin to kind of more clearly understand what's at play with
- 8:46our nervous system. And so, for example, you'll sometimes meet people whenever
- 8:52they get angry, they start to cry. It's there's in it begins.
- 8:56This takes us back to the work of Beatrice b which is also extraordinary work,
- 9:01and what her research shows us is that before up until the age of
- 9:07four months, a baby has all the facial expressions that they're born with.
- 9:11They are born with all the human facial expressions grief, anger, all the
- 9:16different levels and intensities of fear, of surprise, of happiness, and by
- 9:24the time we're four months old, we stop expressing the emotions that our mothers
- 9:28are not able to reflect. So if our moms are not able to reflect
- 9:33anger, it's already starting here that we're turning our life energy out of the
- 9:37anger circuit. Maybe she can be with us when we cry, so it's
- 9:43like we're channeling that life energy of anger into the grief circuit, and then
- 9:48every time we get angry, we find ourselves crying and we're like, why
- 9:52the heck am I crying? I'm angry. I want to be able to
- 9:56access my righteous indignation, my power of advocacy, and instead here I am
- 10:01with these tears springing out of my eyes. It's an entanglement of the circuits
- 10:07that comes from these early experiences. Or when we're talking about trauma and its
- 10:13effect on anger, if we had somebody who every time that they got angry,
- 10:16they were angry at us or at somebody that we loved, we start
- 10:20to have an entanglement of fear and anger, and every time somebody gets angry,
- 10:26then the fear circuit goes off, so it's like we stop. What
- 10:31trauma does to us is it makes our brain stop having choice because the trauma
- 10:37ties brain function, brain functions, and brain circuitry together in order to to
- 10:48try to make the best plan for our survival. So it's like the brain
- 10:52believes, Okay, every time somebody gets angry, i'd better get afraid because
- 10:56I want to be able to get my body out of here. I think
- 11:00that that that's phrase trauma prevents us or stops us from having choice. Let's
- 11:07kind of if we if we can kind of magnify that, and if you
- 11:15can speak about a little more what that means for someone who what that might
- 11:22mean for someone who's who's experienced trauma. And obviously but it complex trauma,
- 11:26interpersonal trauma. Sure, sure, well. One of the things that we
- 11:31know about trauma is that the amygdala has like a super glue power of memory,
- 11:41and it'll take everything that's connected with the original trauma and it'll glue it
- 11:46together. It's easy for us to see this with like flashbacks from war.
- 11:52A car backfires and somebody who was a soldier or lived in a war zone
- 11:56finds themselves diving behind a part bench before they even realize they've moved. The
- 12:03wiring is so intense, loud, explosive noise, danger must hide. That's
- 12:09something that's really familiar to all of us. But what we may not realize
- 12:15is on the emotional and motivational circuit level that trauma will also tie things together.
- 12:22So we've talked about anger and grief being tied together, and anger and
- 12:28fear being tied together, but it's also possible we have a seeking circuit and
- 12:33our seeking circuit is meant to take us through the world. It's it's what
- 12:39gives us curiosity. It's what gets us to finish our to do list.
- 12:43It's what gets us to create the trauma therapist and get out there and bring
- 12:48a mission to the world. It's our seeking circuit is an incredibly beautiful part
- 12:54of our being, but when it gets entangled by trauma, then it can
- 13:03kind of gum up the works quite extraordinarily. So if the seeking circuit gets
- 13:09entangled with the fear circuit, then every time we try to take a step
- 13:13in the world to realize our goals, there's like a level of fear that's
- 13:18present. So you're starting to see the gumminess of that I'm talking about.
- 13:24Yeah, I mean, I can also see how this could be extremely helpful
- 13:33and almost empowering for someone who's experienced trauma to think that, for one,
- 13:39oh my god, I have a rage circuit and a panic circuit and a
- 13:43seeking circuit, among others, and telling me that that's why, First of
- 13:48all, I didn't even realize I had this. How you're telling me it's
- 13:52all shut off or it's gummed up. No wonder why things are happening where
- 13:58I'm feeling this way exactly. So as a what a facilitator or a clinician
- 14:07or speak from that vantage point, then how does that become helpful? Sure,
- 14:16you can do it with bodies, and you can do it with language.
- 14:18So I'll tell a story because I got a great story about doing it
- 14:22with bodies, and then I'll talk about how we do it with language.
- 14:26I was working with a woman who was seventy years old, and she sat
- 14:31down next to me in the workshop and I said, what would you like
- 14:33to work on? And she said, I have been terrified all of my
- 14:37life. I've spent my whole life being terrified. I've never taken an unterrified
- 14:41breath. And I said, tell me a little more about this, and
- 14:45she said, well, there was a really hideous period of time when I
- 14:48was three years old. My mother went into the hospital. I had to
- 14:52I had to stay with some people that really hurt me. And I was
- 14:56like, okay, let's let's take a look at this marriage of your three
- 15:01year old self with the terror. So we just we invited somebody to stand
- 15:07up for the three year old self and somebody to stand up for the terror.
- 15:09So that she could see this so that it made sense to her and
- 15:13it was outside of her own body, and she looked at this and we
- 15:18worked for a little bit, just acknowledging stuff and her telling the story.
- 15:22And as she was telling the story, the terror and the little girl began
- 15:28to separate a little bit. And I turned to her about ten minutes in
- 15:33and I said, tell me, how are you doing. She said,
- 15:37I'm not scared. This is the first time in seventy years that I haven't
- 15:43been scared. And it was so it was such as we worked for maybe
- 15:48ten or fifteen more minutes after that, just kind of tying a blue sense.
- 15:52But that moment was so lovely because once she knew she had a fierce
- 15:56circuit and she understood why it had been on alert, and she understood.
- 16:03There's something about healing trauma. I think that always does this, that there's
- 16:07a separation in time of the person from the traumatic moment. When she's like,
- 16:14oh, it's my three year old self that's terrified. I don't have
- 16:18to be terrified at the age of seventy that happened sixty seven years ago.
- 16:25Then there's a like a relaxation that comes into the body and something very different
- 16:30starts to happen. One of the precepts of interpersonal neurobiology is that our brain
- 16:37always wants to heal, that it gets stuck in places, but it's there's
- 16:41a continuing sort of life force that's there trying to get through the stuck places,
- 16:47and the work that all of us do with trauma seems to really support
- 16:52that idea. Here's this woman going, oh my god, I'm not scared.
- 16:56Had she been had she been in therapy before at all? She had
- 17:00been in therapy. Yeah, it's like the experience of um U talking about
- 17:10rather than talking with is an interesting another quote that we could work with.
- 17:15Yeah, but I think what what you just talked about? That? I
- 17:18mean, there's so many things going on there from my perspective. I mean,
- 17:21first of all, just in a very simplistic way, you're externalizing that
- 17:26happened by bringing these two two other people, yeah, and putting them out
- 17:30there and creating a relationship between it and her being over here, And that's
- 17:36pretty powerful in and of itself. Yes, um so wow, that's that's
- 17:41I mean, after seventy seventy years, this idea that she's able to finally
- 17:45be free from this, uh what fear or sense? And it was an
- 17:51entanglement of the circuits, you know, it was an entanglement in a way,
- 17:56of the fear circuit with the sense of self without any clarity that the
- 18:02sense of self that the fear was entangled with was three years old and had
- 18:06very good reasons for being afraid. So the way that we could do this
- 18:12with language if we don't, you know, if we're not working with bodies
- 18:15in space is and this is really fun work, is to have a conversation
- 18:22with the circuits. We can start to invite and some of the folks who
- 18:27do ifs will probably be really like going, oh, yeah, I can
- 18:32see how this came digue yeah, yeah. So that what happens when we
- 18:37dialogue and directly with the fear circuit. What happens if we say well,
- 18:44of course, well of course you're afraid. Of course you're on alert.
- 18:48Let's look at what happened to you. There's a directiveness. There's a a
- 18:56relational connection with the part of self that transforms trauma. So if you are
- 19:04with a therapist who's talking about it rather than talking to it, then you
- 19:11never get to have those direct conversations if you will. Yeah, So we
- 19:18can spend a lot of time telling the story of the trauma that happened to
- 19:21us. We can say, when I was three, this happened, it
- 19:23was terrible, my mother went to the hospital. I ended up living with
- 19:26other people. They were terrible people. And there we are that that hasn't
- 19:33changed anything, because well, it may change things. The narrative therapy has
- 19:42a way of working with this so that the telling of the story can really
- 19:48be transformative. So I don't want to put any disrespect to narrative therapy,
- 19:56but but there's something that happens in this In this like embodiment of the parts
- 20:07of our brain where we're giving them a voice. That's similar to the woman
- 20:12sitting and looking at her fear circuit from the outside. The speaking directly to
- 20:18the fear circuit is a transformative act. It's an act of respect, it's
- 20:26an act of acknowledgment. It's like saying to the person and their brain,
- 20:30this makes sense, and it's giving the brain a chance to see that it
- 20:37doesn't have to be stuck. So it's almost like the amygdala creates a force
- 20:47field around a trauma experience, and the only way into that force field.
- 20:55The only way past the force field is to begin to vibrate at the frequency
- 21:03that amygdala is vibrating at, and it's holding of the trauma, which is
- 21:07also important to us in terms of those circuits, the circuits of emotion and
- 21:12motivation. If the amygdala is vibrating with grief holding this packet of information and
- 21:21we're trying to vibrate at the level of fear, there's no completion of the
- 21:26circuit for the amygdala. The amygdala needs to be met in the brain zone
- 21:36that it's vibrating. Amygdala is There are two amygdala is one and left hemisphere
- 21:40one in the right hemisphere. They have different zones for different emotional experience.
- 21:45If you're having fear, energy and information is flowing through the amygdala at a
- 21:51different place than if you're having rage. If you're having rage, it's flowing
- 21:56through in a different place than if you're experiencing grief. So when we're talking
- 22:03to trauma, we're talking to amitulas, and we need to have we need
- 22:08to have a sense of what emotional tone, which circuit needs to be spoken
- 22:15to first. One of the ways that I let people explore this is to
- 22:19think of a frozen moment and then to ask themselves in this frozen moment,
- 22:29am I afraid? Am I angry? Or do I feel terribly alone?
- 22:36Because those are the three emotional circuits that create frozenness. Are when we go
- 22:44through the intensity of those three circuits, will end up in a dissociated or
- 22:49immobilized place. And so it becomes very interesting to say, what is the
- 22:56core? What is the emotional tone of this particular frozen nous? Is it
- 23:03frozen rage? This is such an interesting question because sometimes people will believe that
- 23:10it's all terror, that they're frozen with terror, but nothing changes because they're
- 23:17they're sending a vibrational quality of like is it terror? Is it terror?
- 23:22And the trauma bubble isn't changing, the force field isn't changing because actually it's
- 23:27vibrating with rage or it's vibrating with a loneness. Is this making any sense?
- 23:33Guy? It's sounding It's sounding very intense in the sense that what I'm
- 23:41feeling is that you're using it sounds like you're using language in what feels to
- 23:49me like an embodied relational way. You're you're inviting the person to yes to
- 23:57think about these different circuits. But along with that, there's going to be
- 24:03a somatic sense coming up. Yes, and exactly this relational piece of the
- 24:08other person being able to say, well, of course you know, of
- 24:15course you are terrified, of course you are alone. Of course there was
- 24:19an alarmed aloneness. At what point, Sarah, are I mean? Obviously
- 24:26you don't. Someone just doesn't sit down and you start asking these questions,
- 24:30how do you determine to to to you know, to get in there?
- 24:37How does that work well with me? When since I'm doing workshop work.
- 24:41Uh, but you can do it with you can do it with client work
- 24:44as well. My question is always what what are you up against? What
- 24:48are you? What do you what do you want us to you know,
- 24:52how do you want us to support you? Today? And um and I
- 24:57love it that you bring up the relationational piece because if we track back to
- 25:03be atris Bibe, we have this whole content area of trauma and the matching
- 25:10emotional tones that come into the relationality. But there's also something quite extraordinary that
- 25:15happens in conversations that's all about rhythm and timing, about how about how there
- 25:26how there is both a matching and a differentiation between the two people, And
- 25:33this This is where we really, I think, enter the most often unconscious
- 25:41art of therapy, or the most unconscious art of working with trauma, is
- 25:48that there's an emotional tone that gets that gets resonated with, that helps to
- 25:55dissolve the force field of that particular trauma. But there's also something incredibly relational
- 26:03and foundational that's happening in the movement of our faces together and the timing of
- 26:12our heads moving together, the moments where we move into synchrony and the moments
- 26:18when we move out of synchrony, and the places where the gaps, like
- 26:26if I'm silent for too long, then there's there can be like a gap
- 26:30of a sense of not being accompanied that ends up being far less about emotional
- 26:37tone and far more about timing, rhythm, presence that's just right for the
- 26:47other. So are you saying that those elements are unconscious? Is that what
- 26:53you said? I said, most often unconscious? There's folks who research these
- 26:59beauture Sphebe does research into this, as we was, into the faces of
- 27:03four month old infants and their mothers. She also looks at what happens in
- 27:08a therapy session, what happens, what happens relationally between two people that are
- 27:15creating almost a fabric in which the healing can be held. So as as
- 27:25someone who's been been doing this for a while, I mean, obviously it,
- 27:30I mean to what degree does that just happen? Is that that that
- 27:36presence you talked about, or authenticity or compassionate vulnerability, are those things that
- 27:41you consciously cultivate and then when you're working with someone they appear? Um.
- 27:52I think more it's about doing our own work, because the more that we
- 27:56do our own work, the more that we move into the part of the
- 28:02nervous system that enables ease and fluidity and attention in relational connection. I was
- 28:14working with something to come back to the circuits and then to integrate this.
- 28:18I was working with someone in a workshop where her circuit for seeking was entangled
- 28:30with grief because of the loss of her father. It's like, when her
- 28:38father died, she didn't want to go forward anymore without him. She just
- 28:47wanted to stay with him, And any forward movement at all, any movement
- 28:51into the seeking circuit, into any movement into doing, was a movement that
- 28:56took her away from her father, and she didn't want to leave him.
- 29:02So we did some of this conversation work with her, with her seeking circuit,
- 29:10and in a way disentangled movement. Again, these small words are so
- 29:18beautiful, and disentangled movement toward from, movement away from, so that she
- 29:26got to have a sense that she could move forward in her life without leaving
- 29:30her father, that he would still be with her as she moved. And
- 29:36after she did this little piece of work, this disentangling work, so that
- 29:40she could still move forward, she was surprising to me. She turned and
- 29:45she looked at the audience. There were eighty people in the auditorium, and
- 29:49she looked at the audience as she said, Oh my goodness, look at
- 29:53all these people. What beautiful faces. And she went and she got a
- 29:57chair and she sat behind me the stage. She said, can I do
- 30:00this? I said, of course. She sat behind me on this stage
- 30:03for the next hour, and she just looked at all the faces. Our
- 30:07nervous system. When we have a sense of when our circuits get disentangled,
- 30:14our nervous system can be fluid and responsive and we get to move out of
- 30:19immobilization into engagement. So this is the work of Stephen Porgi's beautiful work of
- 30:26Stephen porgis when we're in the engaged place social engagement, there's a fine feed
- 30:34from the facial muscles to the brain. When we're when we're stuck in immobilization,
- 30:42the face collapses, the muscles of the face sag and become heavy,
- 30:48and we no longer have access to the mirror neurons that allow us to have
- 30:52the sweet interaction between faces that creates emotional engagement. And so there's a couple
- 31:02of things that are happening. When our facial muscles are engaged. The muscles
- 31:07of the middle ear tightened to the sound range of the human voice. When
- 31:11that happens, the eye muscles tighten so that we can see the human face,
- 31:18and the muscles of the larynx relax and support full emotional expression in the
- 31:23voice. And as soon as we start to get scared or angry or have
- 31:30a sense of alarmed aloneness, we lose all that fine feed. We're no
- 31:37longer in nuanced space. So this speaks to the importance of the therapists doing
- 31:41their own work, because if the therapist circuits are entangled then not moving fluidly,
- 31:48then the therapist is not able to be in responsive, fluid space and
- 31:53may be able to do the work of catching content trauma content, but doesn't
- 32:01have the nervous system pieces in place to be able to weave that fine relational
- 32:07holding of the whole. I'm just gonna check if I'm making any sense at
- 32:14all. Yeah, you are. And I'm thinking to myself, you obviously
- 32:21have been doing this for a while, and it the sensitivity that it sounds
- 32:29like you have to, you know, be attuned to what's going on on
- 32:35a relational level, on a verbal level, and at a somatic level,
- 32:38all these things are happening. I'm like, wow, yeah, this is
- 32:44why I say. You know, it's largely unconscious for most of us,
- 32:46and for me it's largely unconscious most of the time. I do know it's
- 32:50here, but but yeah, I mean for those of us, for those
- 32:55listeners who are out there going, oh my god, this sounds amazing.
- 32:59How do I learn about this? How can I I could even imagine that
- 33:02some people are like, oh my god. You know, I could never
- 33:06get to the point where I'm so attuned with the people I'm working with,
- 33:09but obviously people can get there. What do you what would you say?
- 33:15What would you recommend? How does someone kind of begin to sink their teeth
- 33:17into learning about these different things. My book Your Resonantself is a wonderful resource
- 33:25and make it makes this stuff down so that we can kind of kind of
- 33:30makes it usable and experiential if you love the nuts and bolts of the micro
- 33:39expressions and what happens in terms of attachment and this weaving of the fabric.
- 33:45That work is Beatrice Phoebe's. I believe she's deeply extraordinary. And I can
- 33:53only read about a paragraph a month because it disturbs my attachment pane and I
- 34:00just have to stop and mourn, mourn my own mothering more in all the
- 34:07years that I was with clients or you know, people in workshops and didn't
- 34:10know and you know so so Beatrice BB's extraordinary, difficult for me, difficult
- 34:17to read and extraordinary. I have I'll have that linked about the Yeah,

- 35:16the things, Sarah, that that again keeps coming up. There's a sense
- 35:22of uh empowerment that comes up for me in hearing about these different circuits and
- 35:30being able to see them, uh in relation. Yeah, you know myself.
- 35:37I'm putting myself in that position being able to see oh them, being
- 35:42able to move apart, and understanding how uh they're they're impacting me. Uh
