I cannot thank you enough, you have no doubt saved lives doing this work! What you're doing is the healing of humanity. Everyone who watches your videos gains understanding and skills that they share with others, and it ripples out through society. Just, Thank you.
@@chaznonya4 FWIW something that worked for me during the worst life storms was saying to myself ‘in this moment I am safe’ or end with OK. Another is ‘evevn if it’s not OK it will be OK.’ Sml but with some focused breathing and closed eyes it helped. Also if needed find a bathroom and sit for few min alone to do them. With time you can do it in crowded areas. When we get through tougher times or memories it leaves us stronger and with more self respect and awareness. Life is hard and you’re not alone by far.✌️
THANK YOU, DR. SNIPES! I think you may have guided me to finding my healing. After decades of therapy, where CBT helped me make rational decisions, I've still experienced physical symptoms that I've described to people "It's like my body is in permanent lock down, it's ALWAYS wired, even when I'm outwardly relaxed and happy. Could the childhood trauma of 60 years ago still be in my body?" And then I saw your title, and that is the first time that I've ever even had someone validate the possibility of chronic embodied trauma. I look forward to watching your videos, and look forward to getting clues that might help find an appropriate professional I can directly work with.
Someone told me to get a quartz face roller. Rolling my face and neck is so relaxing. I started putting it in the freezer and it's even better. I try every little trick or tip to release anxiety and stress. You never know what will work for you and there's nothing to lose. Thank you for these. Glad I found your channel.
Thank you for sharing your own personal experience with trauma and how you’ve managed it. Many lecturers can come across as a tad condescending and paternalistic but you’ve detailed some very helpful and empowering strategies here. People might also find it useful to look at the enteric nervous system and how this relates to trauma-related anxiety. It’s essentially a second brain in the gut. See also gut-brain axis. Totally agree with your advice: i) to do yoga. Been doing Iyengar for years and it works. Journaling might also be useful for some people as it’s an easy way to review your progress and identify who your triggers are. ii) definitely yes to finding opportunities to laugh/sing if at all possible. That might well sound impossible for some who find themselves “locked-in” to ruminations about their traumatic event/incident. Everyone is different but it’s vital to give yourself a break even if it’s only momentarily.
Interesting. I have found practicing Qi Gong to be helpful. I may start exploring yoga. I also sing, and play music - during a time of deep grief, I found playing music deeply therapeutic. I am addicted to humour, a good laugh at some impromptu joke does wonders. ,
I managed to heal myself from horrific child abuse without the use of torturing animals. What is wrong with people, I find it utterly sickening that people who are allegedly healers relish torturing small furry animals. Just go to Brad Yates for emotional freedom technique EFT. He is a brilliant and generous and emotional freedom technique practitioner was over 600 videos to heal anything from emotional pain/anxiety, grief, shame and everything else without inflicting unnecessary, unscientific torture on innocent sentient beings. If we torture our own pets with gratuitous violence, we are imprisoned.. Why are there different rules for scientists in labs with white coats, behind closed doors inflicting horrific suffering. Sick 🤢
It's like a group trance, to collectively ignore this. I appreciate the information we have learned - but I don't believe it's worth the price. If every one of us had to spend time in the rooms where these things are happening, I suspect most people would feel the same, that it's not worth it.
@@SpectrumOfChange Absolutely and if we had to kill our own steak we and our pets would be eating lentils. Christmas is a huge animal sacrifice it is horrific! The human race is hardly evolving at all in fact mostly devolving! So sad for the animals.
Just stumbled across you. Keep doing what you do!! I wasn't taught any of this. I have no doubt you are going to be the one who actually helps me. I have lived a very traumatic life. My body now handles my fear and worries by attacking itself in odd and strange ways. No way any doctor can explain. I have learned my body does this when I'm under stress from my traumas. I have done everything to help myself but I havnt learned how to release, realize or relax. I'm going to watch you, I know your going to make a difference in my life. ♥

Years of being in a severely hypervigilant state led me towards more gentle methods. The cold showers, however... I started them again a couple of weeks ago, starting with hot water and then turning it to cold. Now I look forward to having a full shower starting with cold. It's the weirdest thing. Initially I had to mentally prepare for it, then realised the sensation was exactly the same as the excitement of being dared to run under a waterfall when travelling, and so I began to dare myself and laugh in anticipation of my response. But I agree, Wim Hof's techniques are very transformative!
Awesome video. I shake sometimes lately and wonder why. I'm under a lot of stress lately. Both my husband and i lost our jobs from the pandemic. My brother and father in law died from covid. I try to be positive. Thank you. God bless you.
It is a traumatic event for you hun. I am the same for the past year. Went to emergency rooms countless times. I just started a treatment for this panic/anxiety and hopefully I am recovering because it’s been hell.
Thank you so much, Doctor Snipes, learning about the vagus nerve and the vagal tone is the piece I needed to learn about without knowing I needed it. I have watched the series of three videos and I have learned enough to deal with my physical tensions, with the way I respond to stressful situations at home and in general, to learn to reprogram my nervous system in order to live the quiet life I have always dreamt of. Thank you so much for making this information readily available. May life bless you and your family for generations to come. Much love!

What a treasure of a toolbox you shared with us! Thank you. I really can't thank you enough. Already I feel calmer - simply from learning these tools. My future looks brighter because I don't have to worry about triggers and the sense of helplessness they can elicit. Also, I don't have to worry so much about people who can't afford or in any way access a good therapist, because anyone with internet (which, of course, is not everyone,) can watch your videos. Fortunately, I have a truly awesome therapist even though I'm a low income person. But I know my case is more an exception than the rule. God bless you!
You’re most welcome! What ade you planning to do first to release trauma? Other videos that might help can be found at: ruclips.net/user/DocSnipessearch?query=Releasing%20trauma God bless you!
@@DocSnipes Thank you, Dr Snipes! To answer your question about what I plan to do first to release trauma - I felt wonderfully comforted by massaging my tragi and behind my ears. Also, humming and singing are a natural way for me to release trauma, since I already really enjoy those activities, just for the love of music. I've used all of those tools since I watched your video and they work well for me to help me release the tightness and constriction I sometimes feel from trauma. I plan to keep using these tools and explore others from your videos. Thank you for sharing so much wisdom and know-how!
Yay!!! Feel the Freedom!!! Feeling better excellence ALIVE WELLNESS SATISFACTION COMFORTS SECURITY CONFIDENCE LIFE!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE EFFORTS 👍👍👍👍
I have no idea what happend tonight, but it felt like some trapped tension got released from my body and I've never been more present. I can feel at peace.. hard to explain.
I have cptsd I’ve been going to therapy for a while now. I started watching your channel abt two weeks ago and you have been extremely helpful. More helpful than my therapist. Please continue making content on mental health. It’s just as important as physical health. You’re amazing and we appreciate your help 🫶
I hope you know how much you help people with your expertise and how well you convey the information. It’s life changing. Learning to be in charge of my thoughts n reactions is empowering. Thank you. 🌻
Try playing a French horn if you want get some deep breathing. One thing anyone can do isa buy a brass mouthpiece [trumpet, French horn, trombone, etc.] and put to lips and buzz lips to mouthpiece. It really stimulates a relaxation response, especially if you're highly anxious. The larger the mouthpiece,[trombone e.g.] the greater the relaxation response since it takes more deep breathing.
Thanks for watching and for recommending another tool for deep breathing. Other videos you might be interested in can be found at ruclips.net/user/DocSnipessearch?query=trauma
i have a lot of trauma stored in my body. PTSD so bad i wake up every 1-2 hours at night gasping. I also have a hiatal hernia so my stomach is pressing up against my vagus nerve. wouldn't this be an issue? I feel like my vagus nerve is overstimulated because of this. :(
Yes, that can add to the trauma and can interfere in the recovery process. Still, you can release trauma from your body. What tools from the video are you planning to use for that?
Very Useful Information. Just send this to My Sister. She will faint if She get in Pain. Or if she smells something that's not good. Thanks again. She's been having this for years.
I really like how you summed up what we were learning about at the end. When teachers leave something open-ended, I often don't get what they are talking about to bring everything together. I understand what people are saying by what they say afterward because it brings together a collection of thoughts into a meeting of the minds that is satisfying and becomes a positive learning experience. I get the feeling that the teacher is intending to empower me with the experience and I relax and am able to enjoy the subject matter. Bad teacher move too fast and do not care about my struggle. But that is not you! Instead you are a good role model. It is like the good mother who does back and forth with a small child who enjoys the interaction. I forget what that is but you probably know a lot more about that than I do. I could also read parenting books about it. Adults still want to do that as learning is very much of an interaction with a caring attachment figure who sees and responds to you as a person.
Wow....I love your strength to share your past trauma. I noted in other of your older videos that your body is still dealing with trapped old emotions. You do really good work helping others with your knowledge and own troubleshooting experience. Thank you!!
Can stress put a damper on my creativity? How do I work through having no creativity anymore? Is this about the inner child? I have yet to access the "Inner Child" stuff you linked me to so I will do that first. As long as I have no one pushing me, I can make my own decision and grow in my confidence and self and not just in knowledge.
This was so good! I learned a lot of these techniques and incorporated them very effectively for decades but oh my my my how I need them now. Thanks a MILLION for the reminder! You have helped me on my healing journey.
Too much responsibility stresses me out! I can see that now. I maybe could get back into where I was as a child (I have some very good memories) and not have to save the world, just enjoy myself and learn what I like to learn with someone helping me. I can let them worry about everything else, or let it take care of itself, knowing (somehow) it will take care of itself..
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your channel has helped me become more self aware and feeling like there is hope with your tips and words of encouragement.
Awwww. That’s awesome. I appreciate you watching the video. What did you find most useful from it? Other videos you might be interested in can be found at ruclips.net/user/DocSnipessearch?query=trauma

I have the same thing with masks and people’s intensity/fear and randomly attacking verbally and even physically for not wearing one. I’m thankful to honor my process and never wear one and still have to work through seeing people wearing them. Thx for sharing
It’s less about masks etc. They are symbols and tools for good and bad. Humanity’s biggest lesson is illusion of division fed for centuries and to respect freedom to choose (sovereignty) and think even/esp if we disagree. Compassion/cooperation vs judgement/competition. We share ~98-99% DNA and must learn to get along to survive. ✌️
I have past childhood trauma, and live with constant depression and Anxiety. I did a hair mineral test, that showing I have high toxins in the body. That and poor gut health. I don't even know how too heal! I got covid last December, and my mental health got worse. I'm so depressed and spend most day's crying in bed. I think my vagus nerve is badly damaged 😢 tried alot of these vagus nerve techniques, even brought a vagus nerve stimulation device. Literally become more suicidal after using it! Definitely believe trauma and toxins mess up the vagus nerve.

@@DocSnipes was only asking because you sat in this video certain neurological conditions might effect benefit of these exercises. Were you thinking of something specific or generalizing?
Oy!!! It’s bad enough that the trauma has been stored in my body, but every time I’m triggered the current experience gets added to my existing trauma!?!!!?!?😖😖😖😩😩😩 Jeez!!! I’m so proud of myself!! Everything you have said I have been doing for myself for years! Hi exciting! I’m much closer than I thought!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏
Supplements and herbs might help in coping with trauma symptoms but, just like any other medication, they can cause sides effects (adverse reactions). That’s why I strongly advise you to talk to your doctor before taking any supplement, herb or medication.
When is the last time you truly allowed someone to embrace you totally and in return done the same...the truth my shock most of you because there is something very specific that has to happen and happens in return that allows truma to be released very few ever truly let go out of fear or embarrassment ... Real connection is rare and powerful.
Thank you, I just found few of your you tube clip, regardless of watching and taking many courses, I could not understand before in a way that you taught it, you have a very special niche around these subjects, keep up with your amazing educational programs
What if your HRV(cortisol) is always high, never recovers significantly, even worse at night unless I fast 24 hours or more. I do not feel stressed at all, eat healthy, exercise, watch these numbers closely, watch alcohol, etc, but no change. Started CBT and do have CPTS, but seems to be no rhyme, reason, supplement, breathing exercise, that does anything at all...except fasting/IF, but even then still have high levels at the beginning of the night. I get a bit of recovery about 3 am, if I do an evening fast. No doctor, naturopath, therapist etc has any insight. I'm about to say "screw it".
Thank you so much. One question, I can barely even lightly touch my tragus, it's extremely painful. It's been that way for over a year now. No doctor seems to know why. Could be coming from jaw joint? Does anyone else out there have this problem? Wishing everyone a calm and happy vagus nerve!
SO, normally my husband would never go to anyone that didn't have a true drs. License or title and would insist that the professionals rendering services must accept Insurance. However after 2 years of suffering with intense neck pain and dizziness, and trying "everything" which included a series of shots, chiropractic visits and even 2 small surgeries, he sought the help of a kinesologist. She worked with muscles , which support bones and he felt relief after the first visit! He followed up with 2 more visits and is virtually pain free currently. Don't be afraid to stop outside of your comfort area as he did through ultimate desperation. Good luck! 👍

Your my new fav...😇....very interesting knowledge of understanding you behold grasshopper.....look forward to more of your presentations....👍
As someone with anxiety and panic attacks….I would always I would start to yawn repeatedly when one was coming on…like my body was trying to say something
My neighbor was stalked me at the grocery store when I lived in Texas!!! He was meth at seventy years old! He has a fat Rottweiler and his son is in prison!!! He was a Vietnam Veteran and very toxic!
This is true. It you have less HRV when your body is under stress and the cardiac recovery tends to be slower as well. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12185393/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26888648/
Thank you for these very nice tips. Is the reason the intention of releasing trauma has to do with activating the vegal nerve/tone, because that is how someone can feel safe enough to release it? Thank you. I hope that made sense!
Hi. According to the studies I have read, yes, there is. Here are some studies on that: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8568183/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32183991/
Practice the 4 square breathing: breath in for 4 seconds, breath out for 4 seconds and 4 seconds in between breaths. Vagal tone improvement: be aware of the moment. Right now I’m safe and I’m okay. Chew gum and Blow bubbles and relax, Love and kindness exercises. Send love and kindness to yourself. Exercise helps: interval training helps heart rate and vagal tone. Lift weights. Probiotics help with vagal tone. Omega 3’s Cold showers Looking to your left for a minute and right for a minute resets the vagal nerve Massage over the eyebrow. Temple massage gently Ear (the flap in the front massage it) Massage on front of the ear on the skin gently. Tens unit : can stimulate the vagus nerve. Half smile exercises. Hum Laughing Sing Head turn: lay down hands behind your head. Look at the ceiling, look to the side until you yawn. Do both side. Head tilt: ear to the shoulder, hold it firmly a minute: stretching to improve vagal nerve. 🫁🎤👀🏃♀️💆♀️🩶👂🏼 Gotta go do my exercises 👋🏼

You’re so welcome! Thank you so much for watching the video! I am grateful to be of help. If you’re interested in videos on trauma, you can find them at: ruclips.net/user/DocSnipessearch?query=trauma
It is really nice to be able to have these videos tonight rather than going over election results.. I think the main thing for me is to be able to validate how important it is for me to be able to relax..
Very often the trauma has been caused by another human, and our brains have shut down the memory of this because emotionally we are too young to deal with it or understand it. I have seen many people healed immediately by going to God in prayer and asking Him what the issue is. This should be done with the help of a trusted believer for support, because the revelation can be very traumatic. Then the person can pray for the grace to forgive this person(s), for very often they will not want to. When they feel forgiveness, then they forgive and release the perpetrator, and they are set free from the fears and symptoms. This does not mean that the harm that was caused is ok or that we have to trust that person, it just means we are delivered from the consequences of holding resentment. God is good and merciful, always.
My first point of contact is God, and He has proven Psalm 32:8 to be true. God is an excellent teacher, instructor, counselor, guide, and, of course, HEALER! Awesome God!
Hi Doc Snipes, Your videos are very helpful, Thank You. I used to have some major stress and I think one of the things that did some good to me was taking cold showers just before going to work... so just give it a second chance, it works!!! :)
Totally with you on the masks - different reason. I'm PTSD (c-ptsd,rather). Frontline healthcare "hero" (now zero) who was treating covaids just fine and effectively before it had a name, then the mask mandate happened and THAT was when my entire staff and I fell ill with severe illness, and that was just the beginning of a HORRID horrible journey (that bore fruit, indeed, due to my faith and pain to purpose and finding purpose in pain)...so when I see people walking around with the masks in fear, it reminds me of being neglected by the healthcare system. When I was in critical shape, and wasn't admitted because I refused the vent.....trauma sandwich. Thank you, good video

Dr. Snipes videos are very valuable to me professionally and personally and I so appreciate all of her efforts to educate us. It might be just me, but I must listen to these videos in short doses as it seems the microphone might be too sensitive. It appears to pick up just about every sound near Dr. Snipes such as those from equipment and from Dr. Snipes shifting and even mouth sounds from her speaking. I’ve seen other creators deal w/ this so, maybe others have been bothered by this too & adjustments might be attempted? Otherwise, I will continue to watch in short sessions.
Thank you very much for these wonderful videos. I very much appreciate them. God bless you for being so generous and sharing your knowledge for free to all people. 🙏
Thank you for your 3 part series on the vagus nerve and its role in anxiety and stress. I had been using many of the techniques you suggest and they have been very helpful. Thankfully, I am no longer in the situations that caused my anxiety issues and my lifestyle is generally very peaceful and I am healthy. But I still have occasional flashbacks or experience generalized anxiety - like fear of experiencing pain/anxiety as opposed to actually experiencing it. So, that is where your information has helped me. Now I understand precisely why these techniques are important and helpful with past stressors and reprogramming my responses. I am very grateful🙏🏼

What a treasure of a toolbox you shared with us! Thank you. I really can't thank you enough. Already I feel calmer - simply from learning these tools. My future looks brighter because I don't have to worry about triggers and the sense of helplessness they can elicit. Also, I don't have to worry so much about people who can't afford or in any way access a good therapist, because
anyone with internet (which, of course, is not everyone,) can watch your videos. Fortunately, I have a truly awesome therapist even though I'm a low income person. But I know my case is more an exception than the rule. God bless you!

@@DocSnipes Thank you, Dr Snipes! To answer your question about what I plan to do first to release trauma - I felt wonderfully comforted by massaging my tragi and behind my ears. Also, humming and singing are a natural way for me to release trauma, since I already really enjoy those activities, just for the love of music. I've used all of those tools since I watched your video and they work well for me to help me release the tightness and constriction I sometimes feel from trauma. I plan to keep using these tools and explore others from your videos. Thank you for sharing so much wisdom and know-how!

I have no idea what happend tonight, but it felt like some trapped tension got released from my body and I've never been more present. I can feel at peace.. hard to explain.
I appreciate you watching.
I have cptsd I’ve been going to therapy for a while now. I started watching your channel abt two weeks ago and you have been extremely helpful. More helpful than my therapist. Please continue making content on mental health. It’s just as important as physical health. You’re amazing and we appreciate your help 🫶

Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
So grateful thank you. These have been more effective for me than the therapy I am paying for
Too kind. Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
I hope you know how much you help people with your expertise and how well you convey the information. It’s life changing. Learning to be in charge of my thoughts n reactions is empowering. Thank you. 🌻

Try playing a French horn if you want get some deep breathing. One thing anyone can do isa buy a brass mouthpiece [trumpet, French horn, trombone, etc.] and put to lips and buzz lips to mouthpiece. It really stimulates a relaxation response, especially if you're highly anxious. The larger the mouthpiece,[trombone e.g.] the greater the relaxation response since it takes more deep breathing.
Thanks for watching and for recommending another tool for deep breathing. Other videos you might be interested in can be found at ruclips.net/user/DocSnipessearch?query=trauma
i have a lot of trauma stored in my body. PTSD so bad i wake up every 1-2 hours at night gasping. I also have a hiatal hernia so my stomach is pressing up against my vagus nerve. wouldn't this be an issue? I feel like my vagus nerve is overstimulated because of this. :(
Yes, that can add to the trauma and can interfere in the recovery process. Still, you can release trauma from your body. What tools from the video are you planning to use for that?
Very Useful Information. Just send this to My Sister. She will faint if She get in Pain. Or if she smells something that's not good. Thanks again. She's been having this for years.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
I really like how you summed up what we were learning about at the end. When teachers leave something open-ended, I often don't get what they are talking about to bring everything together. I understand what people are saying by what they say afterward because it brings together a collection of thoughts into a meeting of the minds that is satisfying and becomes a positive learning experience. I get the feeling that the teacher is intending to empower me with the experience and I relax and am able to enjoy the subject matter. Bad teacher move too fast and do not care about my struggle. But that is not you! Instead you are a good role model. It is like the good mother who does back and forth with a small child who enjoys the interaction. I forget what that is but you probably know a lot more about that than I do. I could also read parenting books about it. Adults still want to do that as learning is very much of an interaction with a caring attachment figure who sees and responds to you as a person.
This channel is blessing.. Thanks a lot..
Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
Wow....I love your strength to share your past trauma. I noted in other of your older videos that your body is still dealing with trapped old emotions. You do really good work helping others with your knowledge and own troubleshooting experience. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
@@DocSnipes Thank you for helping people understand themselves better.
Can stress put a damper on my creativity? How do I work through having no creativity anymore? Is this about the inner child? I have yet to access the "Inner Child" stuff you linked me to so I will do that first. As long as I have no one pushing me, I can make my own decision and grow in my confidence and self and not just in knowledge.
Yes, stress can put a damper on your creativity. Please let me know what you think about the videos on inner child work, after watching them
This was so good! I learned a lot of these techniques and incorporated them very effectively for decades but oh my my my how I need them now. Thanks a MILLION for the reminder! You have helped me on my healing journey.
Too much responsibility stresses me out! I can see that now. I maybe could get back into where I was as a child (I have some very good memories) and not have to save the world, just enjoy myself and learn what I like to learn with someone helping me. I can let them worry about everything else, or let it take care of itself, knowing (somehow) it will take care of itself..

I have the same thing with masks and people’s intensity/fear and randomly attacking verbally and even physically for not wearing one. I’m thankful to honor my process and never wear one and still have to work through seeing people wearing them. Thx for sharing
Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
It’s less about masks etc. They are symbols and tools for good and bad. Humanity’s biggest lesson is illusion of division fed for centuries and to respect freedom to choose (sovereignty) and think even/esp if we disagree. Compassion/cooperation vs judgement/competition. We share ~98-99% DNA and must learn to get along to survive. ✌️
I have past childhood trauma, and live with constant depression and Anxiety. I did a hair mineral test, that showing I have high toxins in the body. That and poor gut health. I don't even know how too heal! I got covid last December, and my mental health got worse. I'm so depressed and spend most day's crying in bed. I think my vagus nerve is badly damaged 😢 tried alot of these vagus nerve techniques, even brought a vagus nerve stimulation device. Literally become more suicidal after using it! Definitely believe trauma and toxins mess up the vagus nerve.

Hi Dr. Snipe. Thanks for your great videos. What neurologic conditions might render the vagal tone exercises less effective?
I think that is probably a question for your personal medical doctor. Thanks for watching.
@@DocSnipes was only asking because you sat in this video certain neurological conditions might effect benefit of these exercises. Were you thinking of something specific or generalizing?
Oy!!!
It’s bad enough that the trauma has been stored in my body, but every time I’m triggered the current experience gets added to my existing trauma!?!!!?!?😖😖😖😩😩😩
Jeez!!!
I’m so proud of myself!!
Everything you have said I have been doing for myself for years!
Hi exciting! I’m much closer than I thought!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏
how are you doing with the vagal tone work are you improving?
Doctor what about supplements and herbs?
Supplements and herbs might help in coping with trauma symptoms but, just like any other medication, they can cause sides effects (adverse reactions). That’s why I strongly advise you to talk to your doctor before taking any supplement, herb or medication.
Thank You for this, somethings I was doing intuitively, others I plan to incorporate into my often stagnant routine ✌🏾💖
Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
Thank you for your clarity in explaining this..I have fibromyalgia ..I truly believe it’s related to the vegus nerve…
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching.
When is the last time you truly allowed someone to embrace you totally and in return done the same...the truth my shock most of you because there is something very specific that has to happen and happens in return that allows truma to be released very few ever truly let go out of fear or embarrassment ... Real connection is rare and powerful.

What if your HRV(cortisol) is always high, never recovers significantly, even worse at night unless I fast 24 hours or more. I do not feel stressed at all, eat healthy, exercise, watch these numbers closely, watch alcohol, etc, but no change. Started CBT and do have CPTS, but seems to be no rhyme, reason, supplement, breathing exercise, that does anything at all...except fasting/IF, but even then still have high levels at the beginning of the night. I get a bit of recovery about 3 am, if I do an evening fast. No doctor, naturopath, therapist etc has any insight. I'm about to say "screw it".
My narcissistic father has the emotional maturity of a 14 year old boy!! However, he’s 78!!!
Thank you so much. One question, I can barely even lightly touch my tragus, it's extremely painful. It's been that way for over a year now. No doctor seems to know why. Could be coming from jaw joint? Does anyone else out there have this problem? Wishing everyone a calm and happy vagus nerve!
SO, normally my husband would never go to anyone that didn't have a true drs. License or title and would insist that the professionals rendering services must accept Insurance. However after 2 years of suffering with intense neck pain and dizziness, and trying "everything" which included a series of shots, chiropractic visits and even 2 small surgeries, he sought the help of a kinesologist. She worked with muscles , which support bones and he felt relief after the first visit! He followed up with 2 more visits and is virtually pain free currently. Don't be afraid to stop outside of your comfort area as he did through ultimate desperation. Good luck! 👍

I think you are combining heart rate recovery and heart rate variability during portions of this video. They are not the same thing.
This is true. It you have less HRV when your body is under stress and the cardiac recovery tends to be slower as well. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12185393/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26888648/

What if you have had a right recurrent nerve cut with laryngeal paralysis ? Is it your feeling this would help laryngeal spasm?
Thank you for these very nice tips. Is the reason the intention of releasing trauma has to do with activating the vegal nerve/tone, because that is how someone can feel safe enough to release it? Thank you. I hope that made sense!

Practice the 4 square breathing: breath in for 4 seconds, breath out for 4 seconds and 4 seconds in between breaths.
Vagal tone improvement: be aware of the moment. Right now I’m safe and I’m okay.
Chew gum and Blow bubbles and relax,
Love and kindness exercises. Send love and kindness to yourself.
Exercise helps: interval training helps heart rate and vagal tone.
Lift weights.
Probiotics help with vagal tone.
Omega 3’s
Cold showers
Looking to your left for a minute and right for a minute resets the vagal nerve
Massage over the eyebrow.
Temple massage gently
Ear (the flap in the front massage it)
Massage on front of the ear on the skin gently.
Tens unit : can stimulate the vagus nerve.
Half smile exercises.
Hum
Laughing
Sing
Head turn: lay down hands behind your head. Look at the ceiling, look to the side until you yawn. Do both side.
Head tilt: ear to the shoulder, hold it firmly a minute: stretching to improve vagal nerve.

It’s nearly impossible to live with a chronic liar and sex addict to live in no fear
18:00 it is never necessary to torture animal life for human anything - double blind indeed
Very often the trauma has been caused by another human, and our brains have shut down the memory of this because emotionally we are too young to deal with it or understand it. I have seen many people healed immediately by going to God in prayer and asking Him what the issue is. This should be done with the help of a trusted believer for support, because the revelation can be very traumatic. Then the person can pray for the grace to forgive this person(s), for very often they will not want to. When they feel forgiveness, then they forgive and release the perpetrator, and they are set free from the fears and symptoms. This does not mean that the harm that was caused is ok or that we have to trust that person, it just means we are delivered from the consequences of holding resentment. God is good and merciful, always.

Hi Doc Snipes, Your videos are very helpful, Thank You. I used to have some major stress and I think one of the things that did some good to me was taking cold showers just before going to work... so just give it a second chance, it works!!! :)
Thanks for watching.
Totally with you on the masks - different reason. I'm PTSD (c-ptsd,rather). Frontline healthcare "hero" (now zero) who was treating covaids just fine and effectively before it had a name, then the mask mandate happened and THAT was when my entire staff and I fell ill with severe illness, and that was just the beginning of a HORRID horrible journey (that bore fruit, indeed, due to my faith and pain to purpose and finding purpose in pain)...so when I see people walking around with the masks in fear, it reminds me of being neglected by the healthcare system. When I was in critical shape, and wasn't admitted because I refused the vent.....trauma sandwich. Thank you, good video

Dr. Snipes videos are very valuable to me professionally and personally and I so appreciate all of her efforts to educate us.
It might be just me, but I must listen to these videos in short doses as it seems the microphone might be too sensitive. It appears to pick up just about every sound near Dr. Snipes such as those from equipment and from Dr. Snipes shifting and even mouth sounds from her speaking.
I’ve seen other creators deal w/ this so, maybe others have been bothered by this too & adjustments might be attempted? Otherwise, I will continue to watch in short sessions.
Thank you for watching the video, Jacey. What did you find most useful from it?

Thank you for your 3 part series on the vagus nerve and its role in anxiety and stress. I had been using many of the techniques you suggest and they have been very helpful. Thankfully, I am no longer in the situations that caused my anxiety issues and my lifestyle is generally very peaceful and I am healthy. But I still have occasional flashbacks or experience generalized anxiety - like fear of experiencing pain/anxiety as opposed to actually experiencing it. So, that is where your information has helped me. Now I understand precisely why these techniques are important and helpful with past stressors and reprogramming my responses.
I am very grateful🙏🏼
