How do you heal your CPTSD? A "Hold the Energy" Theory of Change

It's 5:10 am during my morning writing session, dedicated recently to the CPTSD Medicine Healing Protocol. However, I had a breakthrough regarding my big idea and how I want to share it. With newfound clarity, I decided to record this podcast, focused on bringing context to the idea of Holding Your Energy. Join me as I delve into the importance and meaning of milestone number two: Holding Your Energy. I begin by contextualizing with a personal story and then delve into a practical framework designed to navigate complex trauma recovery. I provide an overview of three primary information processing centers, elucidate how nine additional energy centers intersect with them, and discuss the concepts of Parts and Entities, along with how Energies can be generated within systems in your body. Furthermore, we look at what the Restored State looks like and I share more on Trauma Energies and the significance of alchemizing them. I invite you to step closer, don’t miss out on this episode.

Quotes:

“I [now] understand that IFS and Parts Work is the foundation for CPTSD recovery, not sufficient but absolutely necessary. It’s the anchor work of complex trauma recovery, in my opinion.” — Tanner Wallace [0:08:51]

“My truest truth is [that] I am a very, very, practical guide.” — Tanner Wallace [0:15:07]

“In CPTSD medicine, one of the things that is a deep value of ours is we never release trauma energies without alchemizing them first because we don’t want to put trauma energies into The Collective that somebody else could absorb.” — Tanner Wallace [0:33:55]
