Clinicians really need to be better trained. Telling a client to, "get over it", doesn't help. Great video. Please send this to every single therapist on the planet. It's more than drugs that we need, and it certainly isn't being derogatory to those of us who can't get it together. Don't shame us, we can't help what we are experiencing.
Thank you for sharing your experience. If a therapist is saying something like that to you, they do not have adequate training to work with trauma. I am a therapist and I cannot imagine any therapist I know saying that to anyone. I know there are people who do not need to be in the profession. There are also lots of good trauma informed therapists. Look for someone who has some certification or working on certification in trauma. Not all therapists are created equal and not every therapist knows how to work with trauma. NICAMB offers training, the Somatic Experiencing International offers training, and a host of others.
Thanks! I don’t think i had trauma, I think in my case it might be genetic like I’m just slow (cognitive disengagement syndrome/ chronic fatigue). I could never keep up as a child (i run slowly, can’t tolerate an adrenaline rush, struggle with tasks my peers can do easily (also AuDHD), miss jokes and social cues etc) so that could count as trauma with a little t I guess. I take stimulant medication to help with activation but i can’t handle a lot of it (i get overstimulated and overwhelmed quickly and then stay stuck between me trying to shut down and the long acting meds doing their own thing) Anyway thanks for the recommendations with hand stretching and temperature sensations - i try to do a cold swim in the mornings as well. therapy didn’t really work out for me as it relied too much on visualisation strategies (aphantasia) and memory recall (poor).

I agree. I hope therapists learn from this video.
Most therapists can’t recognize their own triggers. If you’re ever blamed as the client, don’t buy it.
No therapist on earth says "get over it"

helpful its because we are stuck in the freeze terror state we need safety and connection and attachment and belonging xxx
How do I get out of the frozen terror state
so what to do to overcome?
I had a session with a counselor who put me into a hyper aroused state and could not get me out from it. I’m looking for a therapist who can help.
What do you experience?
How did they put you there plz? Without giving detail, obvs x

nice, thank you
Beautifully explained. Thank you!
Thich Naht Hanh's teachings are helping me to inhabit my body once again.
I've recently discovered him!
Can you please suggest which videos he teaches “ inhabiting the body.”
For me getting bodywork starts the reintegration.
Excellent. Thank- you for your work!
You would be a great therapist to have!
So good, thank you!
I love this!
Great tips!
Thanks
