#60 - Claire Weber: Re-mothering with Ibogaine

<p>A fire alarm rang in Claire Weber&#39;s nervous system at age two and never turned off, until ibogaine finally silenced it, forty years later. This is a conversation about what happens when your first memory is the worst thing that ever happened to you, and what it takes to come back from that.</p><p>In this episode, Talia Eisenberg sits down with emotional release coach and hands-on healer Claire Weber to explore the territory of pre-verbal trauma. Claire shares how witnessing her mother&#39;s death just before her third birthday encoded a lifetime of shock, hyper vigilance, and the core belief that she was fundamentally alone. She traces her decades-long search for healing through 12-step recovery, neurofeedback and its role in repairing the brain&#39;s &quot;mother circuit.&quot; Claire shares the distinction between pre-verbal trauma and pre-verbal shock, the daily practice of &quot;re-mothering&quot; her inner child, and a post-treatment car accident that confirmed her nervous system had fundamentally changed. Claire also shares her life vision to open a healing estate called Mothered, a place devoted to helping others rebuild the internal mother they never had.</p><p>Claire Weber is an emotional release coach and hands-on healer devoted to grief work, somatic healing, and nervous system repair.
