Holistic Trauma Healing with Lindsey Lockett

Episode 117: Nourish Your Nervous System — Listening To Your Body Jun 28, 2024

Lindsey Lockett discusses the importance of listening to your body and how to practice somatic listening. She explains that our disconnection from our bodies is often rooted in childhood experiences where our needs for emotional and physical nourishment were not met. She emphasizes that listening to our bodies involves using all eight senses, including interoception, which allows us to notice and feel what's happening inside our bodies. She guides viewers through a somatic listening practice, encouraging them to be present, explore sensations, and describe them using feeling and sensing words. By listening to our bodies, we can gain insight into what they need and take proper action to nourish ourselves.

Episode 116: Nourish Your Nervous System — Trauma's Impact on the Brain and Nervous System Jun 24, 2024

This episode is part 4 of the NOURISH YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM series. Lindsey Lockett discusses the impact of trauma on the brain and nervous system. She defines trauma as the energy of an event or long-term pattern that triggers a fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response and burdens the nervous system. Trauma can cause a person to become stuck in a loop of disconnection, unhealthy emotional expression, and physical dis-ease. Lindsey explains that trauma changes the structure and chemical activity of the brain, decreases the size and connectivity of certain regions, and enlarges the fear center (amygdala). She also explores the concept of complex PTSD and its symptoms, as well as the link between trauma and neurodivergence (ADD, ADHD, and the spectrum of autism). She provides strategies for healing brain inflammation, including nourishing foods, omega-3 fatty acids, gut health, nervous system regulation, and reducing what she calls "lifestyle inflammation."

Lindsey explains the different branches of the autonomic nervous system and their functions, as well as the impact of chronic nervous system dysregulation on various aspects of our well-being. She emphasizes the need to nourish and heal the nervous system through a holistic approach that includes physical, mental, ancestral, spiritual, emotional, and relational aspects. Links:

Episode 114: Nourish Your Nervous System — There Is NO "Right _____" Jun 17, 2024

This episode is part 2 of the NOURISH YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM series. Lindsey discusses the myth of the salvation fantasy — a fictitious hope where people believe that finding the right solution or practitioner or diet or protocol or ... will solve all their health and wellness issues. She refers to the various hamster wheels we metaphorically find ourselves on, chasing problems with salvation fantasies but not actually getting anywhere. She also shares her own experience of chasing symptoms and trying various treatments during her own "Hamster Wheel of Wellness" days.

Lindsey emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution and that the obsession with finding "the right thing" can hinder personal responsibility and healing. She highlights the importance of nourishing the nervous system and listening to the body's signals, rather than relying on external sources for answers.

Episode 113: Nourish Your Nervous System — Everything Is Connected Jun 14, 2024

This episode is the first in a new series of 12 called NOURISH YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM. In part 1, I'm sharing the symbolism and synchronicities of the spider's web in my work. The spider's web beautifully illustrates how everything is connected — every thread is connected to every other thread in a web, just like in life. When we understand how everything is connected, we don't have to fragment ourselves into different parts and pieces. We can approach ourselves and our healing journeys as WHOLE people, not broken people trying to become whole.

Kate emphasizes the importance of self-love and increasing cellular metabolism through real food, rest, sleep, and the right type of exercise.

Kate explains the benefits and limitations of keto and low-carb diets, highlighting the importance of carbohydrates for a well-functioning metabolism and nervous system, especially in female bodies.

They also touch on the confusion in the health and wellness world due to conflicting research. In this conversation, Lindsey discusses her struggles with weight gain, hormone changes, and confusion about what to eat. And, more than nourishing the metabolism and the nervous system through food, Lindsey and Kate share how various factors like stress, sleep, sunlight, and nutrient deficiencies can impact overall health.

Episode 110: A Vulnerable Mother-Daughter Convo: Bridging Generational Gaps & Feeling Our Feelings Mar 12, 2024

In this episode, Lindsey and her daughter, Addie, have an intimate mother-daughter conversation. While at first listen, it may seem that the focus of this conversation is Addie's recent awareness about her disordered relationship with food, the heart of this issue is much deeper. Lindsey and Addie discuss how Lindsey's own dysregulation showed up at a time when she was trying to transition their family to a healthier way of eating. Her patterns of perfectionism, hypervigilance, and binary thinking tainted the message she was trying to teach her kids about food, and now, at 18 years old, Addie is experiencing those consequences in her own relationship with food. Lindsey explains how her dysregulated patterns and voice became her daughter's Inner Critic voice about food, health, and sugar, in particular. Addie shares about her rebellion with food, developing her first cavity, and her desire to listen to her body about what feels nourishing as she thought-stops her Inner Critic's messages of guilt about food and expresses feeling safe with her mom's support.

More broadly, Lindsey shares with Addie about the collective disconnect between Millennials and their Boomer parents and how she desires to foster the intimacy, safety, and authenticity in her relationship with her children that she and many other Millennials do not have with their Boomer parents. Lindsey brings awareness to the "healing journeys" that Millennials are now going through.

Shiny, Happy People documentary

About Tara: Tara Oathout may not know the Duggars, but she was still asked to participate along side her husband, Floyd, in the Amazon Prime documentary Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. The documentary does touch on the famous family of "19 Kids & Counting but primarily uses them as an introduction to the religious, cult-like organization called Institute in Basic Life Principles. The legalistic and toxic ideology put forth by IBLP is deeply imbeded in both Tara's upbringing. In an effort to underscore the harm this belief system is capable of, Tara, and her husband, along with many other survivors, share their stories. Tara is still in her deconstruction era and while she doesn't promise to have the answers, she is deeply motivated to share her journey in an effort to help others shed the shame of Christian fundamentalism. Giving up the "certainty" that a religious life offers is a hard addiction to beat and the journey can be incredibly isolating, but Tara's goal is to find peace, not in the answers, but in herself. She works daily to rebuild a relationship with herself through inner child work, somatic movement, healthy boundaries, therapy and more. The sacrifice for this cause has been monumental, but every time someone finds camaraderie or comfort in her story, Tara knows it was worth it.

Episode 107: WEBS OF TRUTH — Responsibility in Coaching from the Perspective of Coach & Client with Kat Lee Dec 18, 2023

Webs of Truth is a monthly sub-podcast of The Rooted Business Podcast with Spiritual Business Mentor Kat Lee and the Holistic Trauma Healing Podcast with Holistic Trauma Educator Lindsey Lockett.

In this conversation, Kat and Lindsey explore the concept of responsibility from both the perspective of coach and client by examining the emotional wounds our clients have carried from past coaching experiences. This is a nuanced discussion that asks us to intentionally dissect how we hold space, invite questions and uphold boundaries to create transparency and safety for our clients.

As trauma-informed coaches ourselves, we firmly believe in empowering clients to see the coach’s role as a guide, not an authority figure. You’ll hear us drawing upon examples from our own experiences as practitioners to share how we embody this energy of guide. We hope to inspire you to think about how you too can create a similar culture of trust that your clients can sink into.

Episode 106: WEBS OF TRUTH... On Authenticity with Kat Lee Nov 10, 2023

Lindsey is joined by returning guest Kat HoSoo Lee to explore authenticity as a pathway to having our needs met. This conversation was sparked by the requests from Lindsey's and Kat's Instagram audiences of, "How do you show up authentically online??"

Many of us have lost touch with our Authentic selves in pursuit of attachment, influenced by childhood experiences and cultural expectations. In this episode, Lindsey and Kat share insights on balancing needs in relationships and explain how authenticity can help us meet our needs while maintaining connection. They share personal anecdotes to illustrate their personal journeys of self-discovery.

Lindsey and Kat uncover how reclaiming authenticity and sovereignty, exploring and actualizing our desires, and giving ourselves permission to follow our passions can empower us on this journey. They discuss the power of reclaiming their own given names and discuss this reclamation as a potent tool for self-identification and fulfilling one's purpose in this lifetime. As coaches with online presences, Lindsey and Kat discuss the importance of cultivating reciprocity online and overcoming the fear of visibility and accompanying judgment. As they challenge the archetype of The Good Girl, they demonstrate the transformative power of authenticity to inspire you on your own journey of reclamation, self-discovery, resilience, self-love, and self-trust.

Episode 104: A Peek Into My Annual Appointment with My Psychiatrist Oct 08, 2023

In this episode, Lindsey delves into her personal experiences with psychiatry, tracing her struggles with anxiety, insomnia, and a suicide attempt in 2019.

This episode features a telehealth session between them, exploring Lindsey's emotional traumas, especially relating to her mother and past experiences, and their impact on her present life.

Episode 103: A Year Without My Mother — Reflections on Complex PTSD & Abandonment Triggers Oct 01, 2023

In this solo episode, Lindsey delves into the insights, lessons, pain, triggers, and progress she has been through. She vulnerably reveals a strained relationship with her mother and a year of non-communication and emotional pain, even while expressing a hope for future reconciliation.

Lindsey discusses her understanding of her own Complex PTSD abandonment triggers caused by inadequate and her commitment to feeling her way through them all while acknowledging that her mother did the best she could. She challenges the definition of the word "healed" when so many have the expectation that "healed" means "totally gone, resolved, done, fixed". Instead, she offers a new definition of healing — that maybe it doesn't mean all pain is eliminated but that we learn to navigate and respond to pain and triggers differently.

Lindsey concludes with a commitment to forge emotionally safe and reciprocal relationships, acknowledging her growth in handling her emotional responses amidst the shadows of past trauma, showcasing her resilience, self-awareness, and ongoing quest for recovery and healthier relationships.

FEEL WITHOUT FEAR starts in November 2023.

Are you at the point in your “healing journey” where you’ve learned a bunch of nervous system tools, but something still feels like it’s not… clicking?

you’re still repeating patterns and facing the same triggers again and again.
that pesky Complex PTSD is turned all the way up in your body and you’re uncomfortable all the time.
you’re still in a contracted state, unable to expand to hold more… either more stress or more joy.
the anxiety — about your health, your money, your relationship, or life in general — is still constantly buzzing in your body and the best you can do at this point is to distract yourself somehow or power through.
you’ve learned a bunch of nervous system regulating tools… and you’re still so dysregulated that you’re reaching for a tool all the time.
you see all these posts on Instagram about feeling your feelings, but you have no fucking clue what that means or it scares you.

Being able to FEEL WITHOUT FEAR may be the thread that stitches this jagged patchwork healing quilt of yours together.

This is Lindsey's signature group coaching program and consists of...

6 in-depth workshops or masterclasses (If you’ve been to one of my workshops before, you know about the “LL workshop experience” as my Instagram followers have come to call it. You will not leave wanting anything.)
6 in-depth group coaching calls for questions, practical application, curiosity, awareness, and support from me and the other FWF students + homework so you can integrate what you’re learning as we go
1 final Integration Ceremony where you will be witnessed and to practice embodying the emotions you learn to fearlessly feel

Episode 102: Business as a Spiritual Practice, Ethical Marketing, & Developing a Reciprocal Relationship with Your Biz with Kat HoSoo Lee Sep 19, 2023

In this episode, we're chatting about business as a spiritual practice, ethical marketing, and cultivating a reciprocal relationship with one's business with frequent podcast guest Kat Lee. Kat shares her experiences with various businesses and how they have shaped how she does business today. Lindsey and Kat explore the concept of the Dao, a guiding principle, and its application to business and life. They emphasize the cyclical nature of business, with seasons of growth and contraction, and how these phases can lead to greater alignment and clarity in one's business. Additionally, they touch upon the importance of support and containment, especially for those with a more expansive and watery nature. They discuss the importance of incorporating earthy practices to provide containment for emotions, using a nature analogy of riverbanks to illustrate the need for boundaries and strength.

The conversation also delves into the drawbacks of fast-paced, high-pressure business growth and the need for a sustainable, long-term approach. The idea of foundational work and flexibility in business development is likened to homesteading and the careful planning and adaptation required to manage land effectively — without immediate gratification. It underscores the value of slowing down and being open to pivoting when necessary.

Kat shares about her one-of-a-kind group coaching program Business Alchemist Mentorship (BAM), which focuses on business as a spiritual practice and developing a reciprocal relationship with your business. The program covers various aspects of entrepreneurship, including clarifying values and ethics, finding your niche, conscious marketing, and more. It also fosters a supportive community among participants, promoting collaboration and networking opportunities.

Episode 93: DON'T Do These 15 Things When Your Nervous System Is Really Dysregulated (solo episode) Feb 13, 2023

When your nervous system is really dysregulated, you need safety signals more than ever. Things that signal safety? Slowness, being satiated, co-regulation, sleep, a serene setting, setting boundaries, reaching out for support, and a sense of satisfaction in your life.

The "things" in this episode are the opposite of those safety signals.

NEW OFFERING!
NERVOUS SYSTEM CPR: a toolbox of tools to help you regulate your nervous system FAST. This is a downloadable resource, so you can save it to your phone or tablet and literally have me in your pocket the next time you're having an "oh shit" nervous system moment... you know the ones I'm talking about.
Stop panic-searching your IG saved reels for "that video I saved that one time"...

Stop doom-searching YouTube looking for a guided meditation to stop a panic attack only to discover you're still panicking 3 minutes in...

Stop exploding with anger on your partner or kids and learn how to discharge it instead...

Stop avoiding triggers...

Stop the shutdown of your nervous system and accompanying shame...

NERVOUS SYSTEM CPR is my most accessible resource: just $55! Get instant and lifetime access here!

Episode 83: The Department of Homeland Security Story + a Candid Conversation On Nervous System Awareness with My Daughter May 29, 2022

My 16-year-old daughter joins me on the podcast to share an incident we had with the Department of Homeland Security during our return from a mother-daughter trip to Mexico earlier this year. She tells the story from her perspective, including what she was feeling in her body and her thoughts on how I handled it as the adult/mom. We talk about trauma responses and what they feel like in her body and whether or not feeling her feelings has been helpful for my daughter. (Hint: she says she doesn't believe that "this stuff works", but what makes me super happy is that she actually has the language to even have the conversation.)

At first glance, this episode seems to not paint me or my work in a very positive light. But what I hope listeners will glean from this episode is that, as parents, our kids often think what we try to teach them is dumb or pointless, but the important thing is that we're planting seeds. Our kids have their own journeys, their own karma to work out, their own soul mission and contracts. There's no way they're going to leave home without trauma or nervous system dysregulation — even with a parent who is a trauma coach and nervous system educator! Still, my daughter has language, and that gives me hope.

Episode 78: Client Journey — I Was Ready to Surrender Before I Knew What Surrender Meant with Brynn Strickland Apr 17, 2022

In this episode, I'm chatting with my former client Brynn. Brynn explores the insights, breakthroughs, and challenges she experienced while working with me for 12 weeks. Brynn learned to be more in tune with her body, to feel and express anger and grief, to find compassion for Self and those who harmed her underneath all that anger and grief, and to lean into triggers and difficult emotions without resistance and fear. She shares so openly and sweetly about how trauma coaching, nervous system healing, and awareness work helped her surrender more and more, and she no longer feels like life is happening to her; it's happening FOR her.

Episode 77: Client Journey — Increasing Self-Trust & Decreasing Control with Chris Willburn Apr 10, 2022

In this special Client Journey episode, I'm interviewing my coaching client Chris Willburn. In this interview, Chris shares some of the insights, breakthroughs, and transformations he experienced while working with me. He was able to embody more of his Authentic Self with greater self-trust and self-awareness and release some of the harmful habits he'd picked up when in survival mode (like controlling and micromanaging his body). Chris also shares how working with me helped him realize that trauma has had more of an impact on his life and health than he realized. During our first 12 weeks of working as client and coach, Chris realized he had a lot of brain inflammation that was contributing to some really uncomfortable physical symptoms. Throughout this process, Chris developed more trust in himself, felt a lot of feelings he'd been avoiding for decades, released that stored trauma energy from his body, and began to feel physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually better.

I'm currently taking applications for Summer 2022 coaching clients.
