Freezy Business: The Biology of Getting Stuck & Unstuck

What do procrastination, shame, migraine, apnea, and social anxiety have in common? They are all reflections of the physiology of freeze. Listen in as Organic Intelligence founder Steve Hoskinson talks about the science of freeze, how we got stuck in the first place, its effects on us, why it’s not your fault, and how to begin to get unstuck. It’s all here in this special episode of The End of Trauma podcast!  www.OrganicIntelligence.org

This episode of the End of Trauma introduces the idea that to be sustainable in right action, our biology needs specific support. Have you tried just about everything? Tired of all the things you’ve been told you have to do to feel better ? Here’s an idea straight from biology— the best support is here and now: simple human pleasure. If we are to face the headwinds of a host of institutional ills and injustices, our empowerment must be rooted in how our biology wants to function. The End of Trauma offers a new vision of social engagement— that our action in the world can be fueled by a biology that has returned to its origins in states of curiosity, exploration and outright joy. These are our birthrights as humans. E.O. Wilson calls our nature, “biophilia" — we are lovers of life. Yet we are too often straying from the path of compassion because of lasting wounds not only in our emotions, but mostly in our nervous system. OI teaches how these wounds are not scars for a lifetime, but rather simple conditioning — learnings that are to be unlearned. It will take some time, and yes, hard work. But, the deceptively simple trajectory of the work is this: the job is enjoyment. Let’s build from the ideas of “The Strange Attractor of Trauma” podcast last week, and give ourselves a break from the “What’s Wrong Attention” and the negativity bias. Find out how we can easefully land again in our nature of compassion, and love of nature. New energy reserves for responsible and sustainable living await you.

In our second podcast, Organic Intelligence® founder Steven Hoskinson helps us rethink our psychology of trauma treatment. Meant to inform clinicians and non-clinicians alike, this information will help anybody dealing with trauma. First we will see how trauma is everywhere — and exactly how trauma keeps itself going over and over again. Trauma biology is addiction biology. 

In this first, inaugural podcast, Organic Intelligence® founder, Steven Hoskinson sets the stage for The End of Trauma. You’ll hear about the “What’s Wrong Attention” — and why it IS actually what’s wrong, and find out how nature is on the side of your healing.
