What if the thing triggering you today isn’t really about right now, but a response your body learned a long time ago? Certified clinical EFT practitioner and neural change solutions trainer Sophia Torrini joins Malcolm to break down how stress, trauma, and old patterns get stored in the body — and how a few minutes of breath, tapping, and intentional “lightening up” can start to rewire them for good.
Memorable Quote
“Change begins when we make a decision we want to change.”
What You’ll Hear
- Why most of what triggers us in the present moment is actually an automatic response programmed by the past, not the situation itself
- The real sequence behind a trigger: body sensation first, then emotion, then thought, then automatic behavior — and why catching it early changes everything
- A live demo of the 4-2-6 breathing pattern paired with tapping (EFT), and how it signals safety to the amygdala in real time
- A simple daily practice anyone can start today: a 90-second breathe-and-tap check-in, followed by recalling a positive memory to carry into the day
- Why laughter and play activate a “creative state” in the brain, shifting us out of pure survival mode
A note to listeners: this episode includes general discussion of trauma, stress, and the body-mind connection, along with a brief, non-specific reference to someone in crisis as an example. It also touches on personal medical decisions and some less mainstream healing frameworks, offered as the guest’s own professional perspective rather than medical advice. If anything in this episode brings up something you’re struggling with, please reach out to a licensed professional for support.
