Today I\\u2019m talking with Greg Wieting, a healer and entrepreneur who helps others heal from anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic pain with his unique blend of trauma neuroscience, energy medicine, and somatic and mindfulness practice. He developed this framework, Prisma, during his own healing journey and is here to speak loud about working with pain in a significant way.\\xa0

Rising Above Chronic Pain

What Greg shares with clients is what he\\u2019s learned from his own 25 years of healing. He has dealt with muscular-skeletor difficulties his entire life but didn\\u2019t seek healing until finding reiki work after college. That moment was something he never realized he had been looking for and it sent him on a journey to discover more healing modalities for himself and others.\\xa0

Greg says that his early experiences taught him, \\u201cI\\u2019m not my pain.\\u201d Our lives are often organized around pain or trauma, but he realized that this didn\\u2019t have to be the case. After 8 months in India, he studied bodytalk, yoga, and ayurveda, which led him to teaching trauma-informed healing at a friend\\u2019s school.\\xa0

Somatic Healing Practices

Greg explains that \\u2018working somatically\\u2019 is getting in touch with the body\\u2019s experience and making contact with the subconscious that\\u2019s stored in the body. Harboring pain and trauma can stop the ability to feel ourselves and in turn lose presence and agency. Developing a somatic relationship with our body helps us know who we are.\\xa0

Greg describes the process of tuning back in with the body as metabolizing trauma as you gradually digest feelings that were at one point too much to touch. Reiki is one of the practices that broadens the window of tolerance in the body, he explains, giving us the capacity to thaw out and process.\\xa0

Accessing Deeper Healing

Part of learning how to heal the nervous system is learning how to develop psychological safety, Greg says. His advice for starting is to locate a safety resource to act as a foundational baseline, such as a comforting memory. Accessing a safe memory and replaying it through all five senses allows the brain to develop a new baseline.\\xa0

Neuroplasticity is an important part of Greg\\u2019s teachings. By freeing up space in the brain by setting a new, safer baseline, clients and students are able to imagine new possibilities. \\u201cImagination creates the structure of our brain.\\u201d He adds that healing is a continuous journey and that he hopes listeners don\\u2019t do it alone, as he believes that deeper healing happens relationally.\\xa0

Listen in to learn Greg\\u2019s tips for individual healing, meditation, and his online course and community.\\xa0
