![Bruce D. Perry: Social & Emotional Development in Early Childhood [CC]](/img/1.gif)
Dr. Bruce Perry is telling the truth, for I am an adult male that has grown up with childhood trauma and has had nothing but trouble my whole life as a result.
I'm so sorry Mark. I can relate. It hasn't all been bad...but, in retrospect, even during seemingly balanced "happy" times it was only a matter of time before my fears of abandonment and low self-esteem reared their ugly head. Recognizing there is a problem puts one ahead of the problem. Not necessarily beyond the problem but far enough away from it that you can see it, and work on change.
Can't see the forest for the trees.
I've been practicing Nichiren Buddhism for last three years. Buddhism for the lay person. Everyday each one of us has to deal with the negative things within ourselves and Society. The dark negative don't disappear we begin to handle them and put them behind us on the back burner. Nichiren Buddhisms goal is to end suffering in yourself and in others, World Peace and education. Bring peace to people one at a time starting with yourself your family your community and so on World Peace. I'm still a mess...but at least I know I'm a mess. 😊😊😊🌏✌🏽
Good luck
While thay maybe true, you cannot give into that fatalism. If we cannot change the outcomes of childhood trauma, then there is nothing left for us to do but lay down and die.
@@battlehymnoftheempath3610 He didn't say anything about fatalism. He said he's had trouble his whole life. I can relate, so have I. Progress is slow as f. Don't criticize someone for saying they've been struggling their entire life. It's not their fault. There's just not enough resources and psychs that understand and can even diagnose. My trauma went denied for my entire childhood and well into my adulthood. Even after showing my family a diagnosis, they still deny anything is wrong and just blame me for my issues. We need more resources and education about childhood trauma because it's frickin everywhere and people like me don't have to suffer their entire lives because i could have gotten better decades ago if anyone looked twice at me!!!
@@amandaserena2007 I am also the daughter of a narcissist. I know how hard it is to change. However, you set yourself up for failure if you do not think you can.
@@battlehymnoftheempath3610 I understand what you're saying. What I'm saying is that nowhere in the comment you replied to did he say that he didn't believe he could change. He simply said it has impacted his entire life. So I'm just saying, be careful about reading into things and anyway, we should always be compassionate to abuse victims. We need compassion and understanding more than anything. ♥️
I have follwed Dr. Perry's work, and been appreciative of it in personal ways and also for the greater good for about twenty years. His dedication, research and advocacy for children, in my mind and heart, places him in the status of an angel on this planet. He and others like him... are needed. Many thanks for uploading this presentation.

My counsellor recommended your book 'the boy who was raised as a dog'! I was a child in the UK in the 60's - I had the most horrendous traumatic childhood anyone could ever imagine! Sexual, physical, psychological, toxic, blaming, shaming, gaslighting - and so on - right from the very start; As a result the effects of the traumas went on throughout my whole life. I am now 63 years old and still suffer the consequences! Once you have abuse from the start there's no way of making it 'right', especially when you are 'referred' to a CMHT where the psychiatrists really have no idea about childhood trauma, and just try to 'stick as many 'disorder' labels on you as they can. Not ONE EVER asked about my childhood or early years! I now have many physical issues as well.
Hi Lee
I’m so sorry to hear that and as you say growing up in the 60’s for many of us was horrendous. Let’s hope Dr Perry’s work becomes common knowledge and the eduction decision makers design the programs needed asap
I’ve helped myself by developing constant learning practices that are always a challenge and I’m happy to see Dr Perry is noting the importance of this for toddlers who have been disregulated and sensitized. Resilience is learned and we parents owe it to our children.
OMG! It’s terrible when I hear from others how horrendous their childhood was like. Mind boggling how abusive parents or other adults can be.
Hearing that the first year is so critical to healthy development is beyond what I have been saying. The first 3...5 have been my target ages.
Great Dr Bruce Perry
Really wonderful.
great!
thank you!
Thank you Dr. Bruce Perry. Your insights have been really helpful.
great presentation
Dr.Perry, you're amazing!! Thank you for helping the children of the world!
Major job, care of children! Blessings to you
Brilliant, thanks for your insite. I can personally relate and working with vulnerable young people, this gives some clarity and direction and indeed validation of how I engage with the people I work with. Onwards and onwards with the development of our future generations
Thank you Dr. Perry for healing me and so many others indirectly. I am an ECSE.
Thanks for the education, sir!
I consider myself a trauma survivor…. Done a lot of work to heal and deal with life. Recently I took on university at 63…. The stress around learning ….new learning…. Triggered responses…. Became emotional, couldn’t focus, hold on to learning struggled with recall, Couldn’t work it out until doing research for children I support and came across your explanations of the inner neurological functioning’s….. then the penny dropped…. Trauma never goes away but I have learnt to manage myself and situations far better. My journey continues to be an overcomer of what was done and has happened to me, Thank you…. This has helped me greatly as I go on helping children overcome what has been inflicted on them….. sadly in some cases unknowingly. Thank you
My therapist recommended you. Have a lot of Early Childhood trauma that I'm trying to make sense of and how it affects my daily life that I'm just now realizing and I'm almost 30!
If you are looking for more, Gabor Maté and Pete Walker (esp. his book on CPTSD) and Bessel Van Der Kolk have been monumental in my healing.
@@sobrevida157 recommendations thank you for the recommendations. I am a super nerd anyway my therapist says every sessions more like she's going to school again. I like to look up research things and read things on my own. Which is why she recommended him. I'm always open to recommendations ☺️

It is painful to have the truth spoken... trauma in the first year messes with development in ways that lead to troubles for the rest of one's life... one of which can be it leaves one vulnerable for other traumas. Perpetrators recognize a disturbed child and know exactly how to take advantage of vulnerability. Yes, knowing how these things came to be can reduce the shame one feels because of the repeated struggles and self-loathing, but the hard work remains... the work of a lifetime in fact.

Exactly real lack of constructive working on these issues. Children must have there strengths used as a spring board for future development. And allowing the self esteem gained from those strategies. As a sense of pride and confidence
Is there a way to contact Dr. Bruce Perry? I admire the work he's done, and would love for my son to be treated by him.
I am a teacher, still, when I can find work. Ageism is alive and well here. I became a teacher when I was 6 and my wonderful grade one teacher soon realized that I had a very good I.Q. and learned faster than she could teach, so I became her teacher assistant. That probably saved my life since I was adopted AND not allowed to have friends so I could become a doctor and heal my adoptive mother. My mother was also very violent. I was found by my siblings about 3 years ago, met three, and hope to meet the others after the pandemic. The clip with Oprah, and Dr. Perry gave me tears, I am so grateful. Still lots to healing to do.

I met with Him twice in Cheyenne Wyoming USA 🇺🇸! Equality State USA 🇺🇸! Our Children need our help
Dr. Bruce Perry, it would be great to talk with you about adverse childhood trauma and ability to function as a healthy adult. With this said, as a society how can we put more of an emphasis on the importance of parents and adults learning about child brain development, (especially first years of life) creating a supportive, safe, secure, home environment for their children to grow up in to ensure that their child has a higher chance of becoming a functioning adult in society. Humans are life in its entirety and yet our society does not focus on deeply teaching about how the the brain development is completely dependent upon childhood experiences.
I wonder if we'd have to dismantle most of modern society for that to happen. . . Gabor Maté says that research shows that hunter-gatherer societies are the healthiest for child development. The kids are surrounded by adults in a nurturing way, and see adults function in a healthy way. Our modern, western society, in which both parents work somewhere else, and kids are not part of an extended family can be quite isolating.

Teachers are so unaware of this
What can be done for those of us who are late to this party? How do we find a path to healing.
My 2 boys are opposites.. considering what ur saying it makes so much more since. I was reminded by my elderly neighbor at my son's graduation that she could remember how terrified my son was as soon as he could hear the daily ice cream truck . We laughed but as I think about it there were other things that stick out. On the golf team doing good. He andc2 other boys got searched for a vape pen cus the bus driver smelled it but didn't see who had it. The principal called and tried to reassure me he is not in trouble bla bla bla... well the rest of the highschool was absolutely terrible. Plus covid he is missing a few credits... after saying he was finished and walked on grad day. I'm getting g angry just thinking about it.
How can I contact Dr. ? I am suffering since long and i really need right help.
I have a overwhelming urge to speak up, for the abuse our family has endured and the consequences which were so incredibly skillfully been strategically planned and implememted over decades by the psychpath in my family. My uncle has become an alc, my aunt is in psychatric treatment, my mother has heartproblems and become obese, sometime i feel to brong this torture, cheating his wife and all family members up to law... am i wrong by goin no contact and only focus on my own treatment?
His wife (my mother) is also in psychatric treatment for 3 decades. Once she told me that her therapists told her that without treatment she would be dead by now. And as long ss she lives with him she needs meds... i have come to understand that none of the 2 ( aunt n mothers therapists) have any knowledge about narc emotional abuse... they just go shoping for clients.
You are not wrong to go no-contact. If you were bleeding, the first thing you'd need to do is to stop the bleeding. Stopping the abusive input is like stopping the bleeding. Can I ask what other things you are doing? I wish you well on your healing journey. It's hard but so worth it! You are worth it

Huh. So if a traumatized child can become neurotypically normal through exposure to consistent, predictable moderate stressors, then why doesn't a child who'd experienced developmental trauma in the first year, but not in succeeding years, do as well as those who'd had a stable first year?
mjinba07 the first year is crucial to development. If you create a healthy foundation in the first year, the brain is more resilient and more able to handle future stressors. If a child doesn’t have that foundation, it might be a bit more difficult to change the primitive regions of the brain
They do, eventually, with consistent, stable relationships.
It has to do with the production of neurons vs oligodendrocytes (grey matter vs white matter). Stress causes more white matter which leads to programmed reaction to respond to threats aka survival, vs learning.
if this was real science, it would have been proven long ago. Once a child reaves a certain age, there is no "re parenting". Ask any foster parent.
Because the brain undergoes about 90% of its growth in the first 3-5 years. Healing and creating healthy neural networks is possible but it takes time and much work when early trauma is a factor (I am not a proponent of diagnostic labels, myself).
If it starts in the home, why isn’t there more conversation about support for the parent. You speak of policies? Every time governments or bureaucracy gets involved the outcome is the worst possible version of outcomes possible. I grew up extremely poor, in a very poor town in southern New England. When DFS got formed in my area in the early nineties they were breaking families that were the best of us and ignoring the kids that needed the best of us and the best we have to give. Here we are 30 years later and it still takes them 3-6 months to respond to a call. School is not everything in my observation. It’s unpopular but personal accountability, power to the people might be the key to actual change not mandated change. It seems to me that academics is a haven for some of the most emotionally, spiritually and developmentally stunted people in a given population. They are protected from almost all of their actions and are rewarded for towing the line of policy, regardless of it being good, bad or useless. And they are going to give this support? With zero experience doing their own work on themselves? In any given population, there must be some real good, live by example people in academia, you get all of my respect and I’m glad to have met a few.
But no one remembers their first year of life? How is this useful for children that are already grown or adults??
We have at least two different memories: explicit and implicit. Our explicit memory is the one that gets better as we grow, and then gets worse as we age. Our implicit memory functions before birth and forever. Memories can be stored in our unconscious 'reptile' brains that have no verbal ability. We can have emotional flashbacks, in which we feel a feeling but have no idea why. Bessel Van Der Kolk discusses this in The Body Keeps the Score and Pete Walker in CPTSD from surviving to thriving.
And how does it help? If something triggers me, and I have a huge reaction to a small event, it can warn me that something has happened to me, that I'm transferring the pain of yesterday onto today. So, when it happens again, I can treat it with curiosity, and start to heal from it. Again, those books and others have been great helps to me.
@@sobrevida157 I have no memory from before age 7 or 8.
Is this due to something I've tried to block out?
@@pennyc7064 I really can't say for certain as I'm no expert. I can offer three hypotheses, and I'm sure there are many more. Hypothesis one is that something tragic happened to you, either once or repeatedly, and your brain has not been able to process what happened, and so the 'arc of your life' is stuck. Hypothesis two is that maybe your life was chaotic, you moved around a lot, and so there's no critical mass of experiences to form a memory. Oh, and hypothesis three may be that your normal, just on the low end of childhood memories. Like I have a few memories of my younger years, but not a whole lot. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Do you have other symptoms of trauma?
I find it very odd that Perry was the husband of Arlis Perry who was ritually murdered in a church, and he was also the lead psychiatrist for the children after the Waco murders. He spews the government story on how Koresh claimed he was Jesus, when we know for a fact that he never claimed that. this guys whole career is sketchy.
Where did he claim the Koresh thought he was Jesus?!
Why is it odd. What are you trying to suggest. What logical inference are you making. Or are you just trying to throw mud at Dr Perry, which is what it looks as if you're doing.
Glad someone is aware of his background
Some say he murdered his wife.
@@aqualane1 they caught the murderer .... not Dr. Perry. Seriously dude, know what you are saying.
Dr Perry concludes his address by saying we should continue to develop, improve and disseminate programs and practices that target the first years to provide consistent, predictable nurturing supports for mothers and for families. I wonder if he and his team are aware of a Canadian program promoting parent/infant attachment and stronger social relationships for parents known as the Parent-Child Mother Goose program? P-CMG is also flourishing in Australia. Drawing partly on this video, I have written a piece about Dr Perry's trauma model, and how closely his thoughts about preventing and/or curing developmental trauma fit with P-CMG here: www.parentchildmothergooseaustralia.org.au/preventing-and-healing-developmental-trauma.html
This book is amazing. I enjoy the material Oprah covers, always have. While reading this book, I realized that I'm the teacher from St A's on page 38, that worked with the young black boys in the class. I went through Bruce Perry's training at St A. I have used this understanding for over 14 years in the classroom. I even did a talk on it a few years back for Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Schools. ruclips.net/video/bHB-XoPjIVQ/видео.html
