On this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Avik sits down with Dr. Evette Rose, trauma recovery expert and author of Metaphysical Anatomy, to cut through noise and get practical about awareness. We unpack how the body “speaks” through sensations, why constant urgency blinds us to those signals, and the fastest way to get back to baseline: breath, safety, and curiosity. Expect clear tools for regulating your vagus nerve, disrupting fear-driven patterns, and breaking the hidden dopamine loop that keeps you addicted to struggle. If burnout, anxiety, or scattered attention are running your day, this conversation shows you how to return to what matters—without fluff.
About the Guest:Dr. Evette Rose is an internationally known holistic counselor and trauma recovery expert. She’s the author of 21 books, including the global bestseller Metaphysical Anatomy. Her work blends neuroscience, somatic awareness, and compassionate, step-by-step methods for healing stored stress and trauma.
Key Takeaways:-
Awareness is half the work. Name what’s happening, then apply the right action—without panic or judgment.
-
The body communicates via sensations and emotions. Pause, breathe, and get curious before reaching for quick fixes that mute the signal.
-
Safety first. Ask, “Do I feel safe enough to slow down?” Nervous systems stuck in urgency miss early signals and drift toward burnout.
-
Morning and evening check-ins build attunement: scan thoughts, sensations, and any missed cues from the day.
-
For empaths, pair meditation with gentle sensory input (touching beads, swirling water, or mindful walking) to prevent anxiety spikes.
-
Steady breathing supports vagus-nerve regulation. Simple grounding imagery (feet “rooted” into the earth) helps return to the present.
-
Early stress imprints can wire hyper-vigilance. Shift from “listening to defend” to “listening to understand.”
-
Challenge urgency. Ask, “Where’s the threat?” Separate old associations (past criticism or shame) from today’s low-risk tasks.
-
Don’t let struggle become your dopamine reward. Use micro-goals and celebrate completion to retrain motivation toward progress, not chaos.
-
Choose change before crisis. Move from complaint to action by deciding the outcome you want and taking a small step now.
