I would add a stage previous to activity. For me, forcing myself into activity echoed the force and control I’d experienced through abuse. What I find helps, is self-soothing. I say things like ‘I have every right to feel depressed’ etc eventually this might soothe me enough to inspire other self caring impulses.. like to fill a hot water bottle.. often once I am just a little bit kind to myself.. the miraculous often happens.. I find myself actually wanting to talk a walk etc.. no force required.
Wonderful video! Thank you. Having a dog is the best thing a person with depression can have. After having 46 years of depression, dogs forced me to get up and go when I felt like dying in bed.
The bonding process between a human and a dog can be a unique healing of sorts that can repair the lack of love felt in childhood. However, being in therapy helps, prior to bonding with a dog. I'm speaking from experience.
This doesn’t acknowledge that ppl with trauma, or those with long term anxiety and depression, often have chronic pain disorders or neurological issues, such as migraines and these are often aggravated by exercise or make exercise impossible. I appreciate that movement of some kind is better than nothing but if it was a simple as “got depression, have a walk” then we all wouldn’t be in this mess. Also, did he use the army as an example of physical accomplishment, ignoring the PTSD risk that goes with war? I dunno man. This seems really tone deaf. I thought this guy was supposed to know what he was talking about.
@ Cola Hyde . Yes. I think your critique is spot on. While exercise may be one part of a strategy, it would most frequently NOT be a total strategy. Furthermore, as we have seen from innumerable practitioners online, having a community of supporters who are familiar with the issues - (or a single sponsor) - can be tremendously helpful for Trauma sufferers. In this video, Bessel definitely does appear to be "tone deaf" to the layered complexities that sufferers endure - which is perplexing and disappointing, given the status that he has acquired.

@@ninaromm5491 I totally disagree with this. I have complex PTSD and I can tell you from personal experience that you have to move your body. Period. Yes you need others to call regulate with but you need to move. This may be something as simple as doing vagus nerve stimulation exercises but you need to move. It’s not tone deaf. It’s reality
@@betsyc6055 agreed, but I have severe fatigue due to long term stress. While l get out the house and walk daily, cardio is only light😐Thank god I can get out of bed.
I'm presently on a psych ward with intense abdominal pain. Will be moving soon & have extreme stress. Can't return to my apt. Spent a year suffering there. I try to walk but pain never decreases. Want to consult with someone who deals with body pain. Esp. Abdominal. Came from alcoholic background but consulted a therapist who abused his power & sexually abused me.

Oh, yeah...big fan of self soothing!
Movement is life!

He isn't saying it is the cure, is is one thing that has strong data on efficacy.

Watch some Dr Sarno videos
Sounds like you could of also use vagus nerve exercises
So right about adaptation...we adapt in order to live, or die.
Try a naturopath! I hope you’re feeling better.
Exercise is first aid not treatment.
