EPISODE 17 — Flow State: The Missing Piece for Addiction & PTSD
In this episode of Across The Table, host James Finochio sits down with Kyle Trautmann, founder of High Vibe Holonomics, for a wide-ranging conversation on addiction, trauma, and the nervous system’s search for regulation.
Rather than approaching addiction and PTSD as isolated disorders, Kyle frames them as expressions of dysregulation — often driven by a lack of energy, rest, coherence, and flow. Drawing from neuroscience, lived experience, and his own work in post-traumatic growth, he explains why many people aren’t seeking escape so much as relief and stability within their own system.
They explore:
• flow state and post-traumatic growth
• addiction as a nervous system response
• ATP, energy, and cellular health
• rest, sleep, and circadian rhythm
• dopamine, screen time, and attention fragmentation
• identity, ego, and behavior loops
• prayer, surrender, and coherence
This episode serves as an introduction to Kyle’s work and sets the stage for a longer follow-up conversation, where he will break down his methods in depth and how people can apply these principles in their own lives.
