b'IN THIS EPISODE:\\nMeditation And Neuroplasticity Provide a Path To Healing: An Interview With Sarah Peyton\\nShow Notes\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPatty Olwell interviews Sarah Peyton, author of Your Resonant Self: Guided Meditations & Exercises to Engage Your Brain\\u2019s Capacity for Healing on the neuroscience of language and emotions. Their discussion covers Sarah\\u2019s background in non-violent communication and her more recent work with the impact of specific interventions and meditations to foster brain plasticity and empathy towards ourselves and others. They explore what kinds of language can we use that lets brains relax and move into a space of fluidity? How does this relate to healing from trauma? What kind of language do we use with ourselves to develop empathy? How do we develop an inner voice of understanding rather than self-criticism?\\n\\xa0\\n\\nTimeline\\n0:00 Intro\\n1:44 \\u2013 What drew Sarah Peyton to this work \\u2013 First non-violent communication (Marshall Rosenberg) Rosenberg weekend \\u2013 first time hearing that use of language\\n3:51 \\u2013 How non-violent communication works like therapy \\u2013 a place where people listen rather than just try to problem solve \\u2013 what happens when you use feeling words & how it changes the activity of the amygdala \\u2013 (Matthew Lieberman)\\n4:40 \\u2013 Matthew Lieberman study of facial expressions \\u2013when you accurately name the facial expression/emotions you\\u2019re seeing, the activity in the amygdala falls by half- people using language differently put Peyton into a space of fluidity\\xa0(there is always an amygdala response to intense facial expressions)\\n5:29 \\u2013 Daniel Siegel \\u2013 Name it to tame it \\u2013 Why does this work?\\n6:02 \\u2013 What kinds of language do we use that lets brains relax and move into a space of fluidity? How does this relate to healing from trauma? How are brains impacted by trauma? Language as the neurotransmitters of human-ness \\u2013 Verbal & nonverbal communication between two people\\n8:45 \\u2013 Shift of focus from communication to brains \\u2013 Daniel Siegel\\u2019s The Developing Mind, The Neurobiology of We\\n10:30 \\u2013 How are we moved & changed by the words we use with one another?\\n12:00 \\u2013 Dan Siegel\\u2019s contingent communication \\u2013 how do our words reflect that we actually heard the other person? This quality comes through very subtly even in written communication\\n14:37 \\u2013 Study of how Sarah Peyton used words with her children revealed the breaks & chasms between getting business of life done and having a relational connection\\n15:52 \\u2013 What kind of language do we use with ourselves? Matthew Lieberman\\u2019s work with the default mode network. How do our minds think when there\\u2019s nothing else to process? When the brain is not directed towards something in particular, it reverses to default network.\\n18:07 \\u2013 What is the automatic voice of our brain and can it be changed?\\n19:32 \\u2013 Your Resonant Self: Guided Meditations & Exercises to Engage Your Brain\\u2019s Capacity for Healing \\u2013 Speaking unkindly to yourself \\u2013 Importance of warmth in language \\u2013 Trauma impacts the default network \\u2013 experiences of being alone create default networks that are trying to help us \\u2013 How do we turn towards voice of understanding rather than self-critical voice?\\n22:31 \\u2013 How to be precise with language: To be precise with what the feeling tone is. To be precise with what the deep longing is: survival, thriving, peace, room to grow, capacity to have your own timing, etc. Precision with what the timing of the trauma is \\u2013 that the trauma is no longer happening \\u2013 By using the past tense, the brain is using precision \\u2013 What\\u2019s so upsetting is in the past and getting acknowledgment\\n25:01 \\u2013 People often say yes most often when asked if they\\u2019re seeking acknowledgment for what happened in the past.
