    Episode 16: The Architecture of Sensitivity- Capacity and Coherence with Kathrine Elizabeth Anker
    Feb 20 2026
    Show NotesWhat if your sensitivity isn’t a weakness, but a form of intelligence?In this episode of NeuroAlchemy, Dr. Sarah Young sits down with mind-body practitioner Katherine Elizabeth Anker for a grounded, compassionate conversation about sensitivity, neurodivergence, emotional imprints, and the nervous system’s capacity to heal.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by sensory input, misunderstood in medical settings, or frustrated by chronic symptoms that don’t “make sense,” this episode is for you.Together, we explore:• What sensitivity actually means in the body and brain• Why neurodivergence is not inherently pathological• How emotional imprints form and influence physical symptoms• The connection between chronic illness and body communication• Why healing is less about fixing and more about expanding capacity• What coherence feels like in the nervous system• Practical somatic practices to reconnect with your bodyKatherine shares a powerful reframe: chronic symptoms are not betrayals. They are messages. The body is always communicating, often in ways the mind learned to override.This conversation is especially meaningful for:• Highly sensitive adults• Neurodivergent individuals• People navigating chronic illness or mystery symptoms• Caregivers and clinicians working with sensitive populations• Anyone seeking trauma-informed healing grounded in nervous system scienceYou’ll hear about interoception, emotional regulation, and the idea that healing is not linear. It unfolds in spirals, as the nervous system gradually builds capacity.Healing is not about becoming less sensitive.It’s about becoming more coherent.KEY TAKEAWAYS• Healing involves expanding nervous system capacity, not suppressing sensitivity• Neurodivergence is variation, not pathology• Emotional imprints live both physiologically and energetically• Chronic symptoms can be reframed as communication from the body• Capacity can be trained through somatic practices and regulation• Coherence is authenticity in the body• Interoception strengthens self-trust and regulation• Sensitivity can become wisdom when supportedSound bites:“Neurodivergence is not viewed as pathological.”“Coherence is authenticity in the body.”“Chronic symptoms are messages from the body.”Episode Chapters:00:00 Welcome to NeuroAlchemy08:55 Sensitivity and Neurodivergence Explained17:25 Emotional Imprints and Body Communication26:33 Capacity Expansion and Healing in Spirals35:49 Somatic Practices for Regulation and CoherenceConnect with Katherine:Website: https://kathrineelizabeth.com/consciousness-coaching/Blog: https://kathrineelizabeth.com/can-you-really-heal-from-within/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KathrineELJohanssonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7332390640216969216/Substack: https://kathrineelizabethjohansson.substack.com/p/detoxing-from-the-matrix-of-stressFree Sound Gift: http://mailklub.kathrineelizabeth.dk/aP8GGIFor collaboration or inquiries:info@kathrineelizabeth.comConnect with Dr. Sarah Young:NeuroSynergy Integrative Healthhttps://www.annarborbrainhealth.onlineNeuroAlchemy Podcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/7agFaWsIgMJfl071O6ny14YouTubehttps://youtube.com/@neurosynergyhealthLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sarah-youngInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/neurosynergyhealthFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/neurosynergyhealthBooks by Dr. Sarah Young:Quantum Integrative Medicine for Brain Injury: A Clinician’s Guidehttps://a.co/d/8JMnbIoThe Healer’s Map: A Multidimensional Guide to Brain Injury Recoveryhttps://a.co/d/9tthtwf

    Becoming a Neurointegrative Clinician: A Journey of Healing with Dr. Sarah Young
    Feb 18 2026

    Summary

    In this episode of Neuroalchemy, Dr. Sarah Young shares her personal journey towards becoming a neurointegrative clinician, emphasizing the intersection of neuroscience and spirituality. She reflects on her past as a speech-language pathologist and the transformative experiences that led her to explore multidimensional healing. Dr. Young discusses the five interrelated dimensions of human experience—form, flow, awareness, field, and essence—and how they contribute to holistic healing. She highlights the importance of understanding that healing is not linear but relational, and that sensitivity and overwhelm are not flaws but integral parts of the human experience.

    Dr. Young encourages listeners to embrace their healing journeys with compassion and awareness, inviting them to check in with themselves across the five realms she describes. She emphasizes that symptoms are not moral failures but signals for deeper understanding and connection. The episode serves as both a personal narrative and a call to action for listeners to honor their own healing processes, reminding them that they are not broken but are in a state of becoming.

    Episode 15: Understanding Dementia: Compassionate Care Beyond the Diagnosis with Kimberly Diaz
    Feb 13 2026
    SummaryIn this episode of NeuroAlchemy, Dr. Sarah Young sits down with registered nurse and dementia care advocate Kimberly Diaz for a grounded, compassionate conversation about trauma, dementia, caregiving, and nervous system healing.If you’re caring for someone with dementia, navigating trauma, or feeling stretched thin in a helping role, this episode offers understanding, validation, and practical insight.Together, Sarah and Kimberly explore how trauma is stored in the nervous system and how it can manifest in behaviors often misunderstood in dementia. Kimberly shares why dementia should be viewed as brain changes rather than stigma, and how presence, embodiment, and compassion can transform caregiving from control into connection.This conversation also centers caregivers.Kimberly speaks openly about burnout, anticipatory grief, and the quiet toll caregiving can take on mental and physical health. She reminds us that self-compassion is not optional — it is essential. You cannot pour from an empty cup.In this episode, you’ll learn:• How trauma lives in the nervous system and shapes responses• Why dementia behaviors are communication, not defiance• The difference between caregiving and care partnering• How embodiment supports regulation for both caregiver and loved one• Why meeting people where they are creates safety• The health risks caregivers often ignore• How to recognize burnout before it becomes crisis• Why asking for help is strength, not weakness• The power of community in healingAt its heart, this episode is a reminder:Caregiving was never meant to be done alone.Healing happens in relationship.Compassion changes outcomes.Sound bites:“You can’t fill from an empty cup.”“This is not a journey that anybody is meant to do alone.”Episode Chapters:00:00 Welcome to NeuroAlchemy + Guest Introduction01:45 Trauma and the Nervous System03:29 Understanding Dementia as Brain Change05:48 Embodiment in Caregiving08:23 Why Self-Compassion Matters09:20 Survival Mode vs Regulation11:08 Kimberly’s Personal Journey13:43 Nervous System Patterns in Dementia15:35 Care Partnering vs Caregiving16:10 Understanding Behaviors19:03 Choice and Independence21:52 Caregiver Health Statistics23:30 Signs of Burnout25:03 Anticipatory Grief26:28 Community Support27:29 Compassion Challenge29:05 Closing ReflectionsConnect with Kimberly Diaz:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/placementRN/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caremattersalways/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caringmindsdementiandbrainhangesWebsite: https://caringmindsdementiacare.com/Care Matters Always: https://caremattersalways.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-diaz-rn/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Caring_mindsUnraveled & Rising: https://unraveledandrising.com/Connect with Dr. Sarah Young:NeuroSynergy Integrative Healthhttps://www.annarborbrainhealth.onlineNeuroAlchemy Podcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/7agFaWsIgMJfl071O6ny14YouTubehttps://youtube.com/@neurosynergyhealthLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sarah-youngInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/neurosynergyhealthFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/neurosynergyhealthBooks by Dr. Sarah Young:Quantum Integrative Medicine for Brain Injury: A Clinician’s Guidehttps://a.co/d/8JMnbIoThe Healer’s Map: A Multidimensional Guide to Brain Injury Recoveryhttps://a.co/d/9tthtwf
