    Very interested in all Mr. Levine has to say. I have been struggling for many many years with chronic pain in my body from emotions stuck there due to childhood abandonment and childhood sexual abuse issues. So encouraging to hear him describe what is going on in the body - thank you Peter just reinforces what I have known all along. I wish I'd come across you years ago

      Me too! But, better late than never. It was only spoken as gossip and shame in the 50s and 60s if anyone was struggling with mental illness or addiction. Treatment was denegrated as the looney bin or the nut house. It's great all this amazing resources are available on RUclips. I'm glad to still be alive for this chance to heal

    I deeply respect Peter Levine and his work. And I do not intend any ANY disrespect in my comment that follows here. His work has been amazingly healing for me personally and for those I have worked with. I learned about him many years ago during a training as a yoga therapist and I believe before that he was mentioned in another training I did. The one thing he says and many others take from his teachings is on that of animals. He states that animals are not traumatized. That the mere act of their ability to shake things off when they enter a safe zone, relieves them of any lasting effects. I really disagree with this. I believe animals ARE traumatized and that they carry this trauma with them, just like we humans do. If you look at a dog that's been beaten, neglected and abused, you can see in their body language the pain and suffering they endured. They may heal with love and affection. A healing process. Just like we go through. Some animals become highly aggressive due to their traumas and need extra special care to heal from their traumas. Animals in the wild... some are at ease in your back yard, others flee at the slightest of noises. I do agree that they have a neurological systematic response to stress and trauma. The shake it off effect. But i do not believe they don't carry 'stuff' forward with them. I do think they manage and perhaps release some of the immediate reaction and tension of that moment... just like we do. But I believe that that 'shake it off'... does not mean they don't revisit their trauma later. I think and believe that it comes up for them every time the next scary event surfaces. I believe they too... need to go through a healing process just like we humans do.

      Hi Luxury Brown. :) Thank you for expressing your thoughts. In my opinion, it is not in the brain. It is in the body. So the cortex isnt necessary. It's in the cells. I'll just revisit the dog thats been beaten most of it's life. Walking with its tail between it's legs and its head hung low. Expressing carried Trauma. But we may just have to agree to disagree. I do appreciate that Dr. Levine learned so much though through this observation. I think he garnered the important bits from it. I just think its important to recognize that animals do carry trauma too. :)

      Amy... What about the pecking order or pack order? Look at the low one on the totem pole. There is a clear indication of held trauma and abuse by their peers. What about elephants.... that mourn over the bones of loved ones they come across. I think many of you are not thinking this through but are only merely following what Levine is stating. which is fine. I understand. Sometimes it is good to think outside the box.

    • @omlove3206
      @omlove3206 6 лет назад +5

      Yes Nawang... (Fantastic name by the way) The trauma and all experiences move down into the body and the cells and nervous system remember. If you were to meet my friend who suffers from PTSD, you may not notice at first that she does. Everyone is basing their thoughts on animals not dealing with PTSD on assumption. THINK this through more deeply. Think through what you say here..."Brain and body are one" Where does it go? How does it get out of the body? They remember just like we do. Think of lab monkeys and lab rats. I think there is an old ideology at play here. Think of the runt of the pack litter. Think of the meerkat that gets bitten by the snake and survives. Animals are not dumb. They remember. They learn. What makes anyone think they really don't hold onto the fear or trauma?? Stress creates a reaction. Physical, mental, emotional. Animals weep. Animals cry. They feel pain. Just b/c they may not have the ability to speak.... A gorilla... Coco. Have you heard of her? She was taught sign language. They brought in a younger female who's mother was killed in front of her (in the wild) and her community was massacred. Trauma. She was taught to sign and she later signed that her mother was murdered in front of her. Human's are not giving our animal counterparts credit for their true spirit. How about a cow running for it's life so it doesnt go to slaughter in NYC? How about the mother cow who breaks free from the slaughter pen to save her baby sent to become veal??

      Apparently domesticated and captive animals in zoos or circuses for example don't release trauma in the way an animal in the wild does and Peter levine also did say in this audio that animals in the wild are 'rarely' traumatized.

    At age 72 with tons of medical problems, my new doctor (replacement from one I had seen 23 yrs) fired me. We had a disagreement about my Synthroid, seeing a specialist, and then I got a letter in the mail saying the doctor patient had broken down and he would treat me for 30 days until I found another doctor,. There still are no doctors in this area taking new patients, I feel so much shame. I can't believe someone would be that cruel. My heart went into A-fib the next month, and I think it might be partially because this "shocked" me. I can't seem to let it go.

      Dianne J Moore There will always be unreasonable people. The doctor did what he did because he is not a good communicator and he is not an open loving person. Do you really want this person to be your doctor? Unless you threatened his life or physically jumped on him, a professional can keep his patients. You can get a doctor maybe not close, but he can write prescriptions for mail order. I have had quite a time with doctors and thyroid. I like the natural tyroid medication and have been on it since I was 16. I had a doctor that would not prescribe Armour Thyroid but wanted me on a synthetic pill. Armor has many things that the Synthroid does not have that is created in a lab. I finally found a doctor that will prescribe what I wanted and I feel much better. I was told that wanting my natural made Me a barbarian. So little barbarian me wants to tell you to hang in there.
      Sent from my iPad made me a barbarian, LOL. The doctor did not have thyroid problems that I know of. You have to laugh at these people and go on your way.

      You can start with trusting yourself, holding yourself when no one does. if you can genuinely believe that you are complete from inside, and nothing from outside can add or take away any part of you,then no one betray you! , Search for Dr. Mario Martinez The Four Immeasurables , he lays out how we can get in touch with our true inner self,(the precious pearl by A.H.Almaas.)

      @Melissa-yr7fm 6 лет назад +1

      Yes please find another therapist. Sometimes the therapist is still in training or new. There are also so many types of training and therapy styles that even if you have a trained therapist, their technique may not be right for you. Also keep in mind that there's an actual stat that about 50 percent of therapists go into the field as they have had trauma or a disorder themselves. It's a way for them to heal and give back. They get triggered, can project their issues onto you and the like. I know this as I have multiple psychology degrees. One of my roommates from school was drawn to the field because of her own issues and uncovered during her studies and with her teacher that she was a hard to diagnose rapidly shifting bipolar sufferer.
      It can actually be hard to find the right fit. Interview therapists just like anyone else. Some have religious backgrounds they bring into work and you may or may not want that. I'd google ten questions to ask your therapist. Most will let you interview them over the phone.
      You can even find a therapist based on your specific issue. Therapists have specialties like any other medical profession. Therapists should refer you out to another therapist if they feel they can't help you or have a bias towards you (for example they secretly are not LGBT friendly but you have that need), but unfortunately some therapists feel bad referring out. They become afraid of how the patient will take it.
      Hope this helps! Keep trying! You will find someone that helps.
      I'm in the process of finding a new style as I've reached a wall with my current style of therapy.

      @sandtx4913 3 года назад +1

      @moonrice555, you may want to get information on polyvagal theory by Stephen Porges, TRE (trauma release excercises) and Feldenkrais. There are some excellent videos on youtube re above info & excercises and everything trauma related. Some channels I like are that of Irene Lyon (who works in a holistic way), Sukie Baxter, ancient ways of healing and/or calming the nervous system (yoga/meditation, deep breathing, chanting, movement such as dancing) and also podcasts with Andrew Huberman. I do (non yogic) excercises to create space in my shoulders, back & hips so the energy can flow freely, I walk in nature (in my case that is the nearest park) sometimes barefoot on the grass connecting to mother earth, walking a slow paste, look around me and observe the birds, dogs playing, children playing, the clouds, the trees, etc., meditation, spiritual journaling. I've made big changes in my life the past few years and slowed down my paste (incl the music I listened to & movies I watched), I had to because more than 4 years ago the continuous stress & anxiety resulted in a burnout/adrenal fatigue, which I'm still recovering from. I had/have so much trauma & stress in the body, that next to the build up of physical ailments, I started having heavy nerve pain 5 years ago coming from the lower back, going to the right buttocks to the right leg. The pain was so intense, that I couldn't walk, stand, sit, sleep, etc and was glad I would pass out from the pain, so I wouldn't feel it during those moments. I'm glad it's now almost completely gone. Hang in there, the body knows exactly how to heal itself, we just need to learn not to get involved and trust the process and in the meantime undo the programming & release past traumas. Much love to you ❤

    @Anne..... 2 года назад

    I think this is all very interesting and enlightening and I am really so thankful for all the information, but I have one question:
    If what resolves the trauma is to have the body complete an action (for instance to lift our hands to protect our head against an angry parent who is hitting us), then how come the trauma is not resolved when we act out and do the same motions?
    Let's say your parent was hitting you as a child and your authentic need was to fight them off. Then in a relationship 20 years later something the partner says or does triggers this unconscious memory and you start hitting the partner (i.e. you complete the response from the past).
    Even though of course it is absolutely not appropriate in the present to hit the partner, the action/response is still carried out in connection with the unconscious memory, and why does this not resolve the trauma?

    Sorry for offending Christians that might be listening; I've decided to let some of these very old feelings out. (Please be good Christians who are happy to participate in my therapy.)

    Ultra annoying and disruptive background music.

    Couldn't listen past 2:00 minute mark. Insanely annoying music and Neil took FOREVER to even introduce guest. Love Peter Lecine and would have enjoyed hearing him speak on this topic, but first 2 minutes of hillbilly music and the interviewer was all I could tolerate.

      Music ends at 3:06 he only puts music in his introductions. Never on the actual interview.

    Very annoying music. I can't even focus to listen to this.
