In this deeply intimate conversation, Rachael sits down with Patricia June Vickers - teacher, artist, psychotherapist, and spiritual director - to explore healing from childhood trauma through the lens of neurofeedback, relational repair, and embodied wisdom.
Patricia shares personal reflections on early trauma and dissociative amnesia, reframing it as a protective intelligence of the nervous system. Together, they unpack how trauma imprints in the brain, how shame forms in two distinct ways, and why healing requires more than insight - it requires safety, repair, and relationship.
Rooted in Northwest Coast Feast Hall teachings, Buddhist wisdom, and the teachings of Christ, this conversation bridges neuroscience and spirituality, offering a grounded, compassionate look at what it truly means to remember ourselves back into wholeness.
In this episode, we explore:
How childhood trauma organizes the brain and how neurofeedback supports neurological healing
Dissociative amnesia as an intelligent survival response, not a pathology
The two dimensions of shame and how they shape identity, self-worth, and belonging
What it means to invite repair as a pathway to real, lasting transformation
Why community and relational connection are essential for trauma healing
