In this episode, Tammy Peterson invites her husband, Jordan Peterson, for a discussion around the Self Authoring Program he helped to establish. They mainly touch on the origins of the program through Jordan’s research and business endeavors, and the psychological and history oriented aspects of self authoring-while outlining the physiological benefits that come with orderly encounters with your past, present and future.

I feel like I have never heard Dr. Peterson speak about this specific topic in this way. I am currently writing out my own past traumatic experiences with my therapist. And at first I didn’t know why she was having me do it, but this helps clarify that process
❤️ great people talking about great things.
Over many videos by Jordon, and, more recently, for me, also those by Tammy, I feel I have been getting to know two people who provide me with familiarity and integrity that I can trust.
To experience this incredibly healthy communication between this husband and wife, in this interview mode, is somehow so resfreshingly reassuring. And, delightful too.
I totally agree with your thoughts.
Absolutely great ,I'm only discovering this and I'm 42years old, a true man with a great wife. Thanks guys
I started a professional writing and editing course and boy did I get in touch with emotions that I would prefer to have left alone given their intensity.
…and now, a year later, how are you doing?
Lots of love for this man and his family. Truly a gift of reason in modern. Always important to pause and be grateful.... Thank you and all the best to you and yours reader. Xxx

Great clip!
I’m so proud of you Mrs.Peterson. You are always so supportive. It’s wonderful to see the archetypal good mother take a lead role with the rest of her family.
Damn, that was the best video I see in years. Thx Dr Peterson
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!🙏💕
Amazing content. Thank you.
Very useful explanation. Thank you!
She’s so sweet.
Thanks to both of you❣️
Thank you for these two effective resources, systematic Excercise and Writing about traumatic experiences...everyone can do both!
Thank God for the Petersons , to help us keep our sanity,because the world is gone to hell in a hand basket.💕
say,
you know
how can one
be so broken
and so far
apart
be still
so close
though distant,
remote
still be near
to one’s heart?
like me, perhaps
hurt
if you speak
something
as though was me,
I make you feel better
and you me.
that is
when the
broken
can feel acknowledged-
if only others can…
“see”.
Wow awesome and hes right. Past trauma can create pain now. Or other symptoms. We must deal with it
Hi,I wanted to comment to Dr. Peterson that I've listened to him speak about self reflection . I wanted to suggest ( IF he has not read or practiced) The Spiritual Exercises by Saint Ignatius of Loyola; They are wonderful . Thank you
I'm very embarrassed to ask because it's obviously way too demanding but i have a question for Pr. Peterson and i have no idea if i'll ever get a response but i'll give it a try. Professor Peterson, first of all my heart rejoices seeing you happy as well as in good health next to your beloved lady! Your suggestion of writing about past trauma sounds very sound and logical. I used to be very tranquil and enjoyed mental stability and self-control when i kept a journal and wrote in it every morning. But who do you hypothetically talk to when you put pen to paper like that? I've struggled with trauma related to severe child abuse that i went through as well as witnessed in my home country Syria and my memory haunts and torments me every night when i go to bed even though i've grown up and moved to Sweden with my immediate family. I still fantasize about physical and verbal love and being cuddled and caressed like i've done always despite being a 24-year-old grown-up at the moment. I recieved almost no physical affection at all as a kid and it's become my biggest shame in life as i see an architypal mother in every woman i see or meet. How do i write about my trauma exactly and what should i do? Thank you immensely in advance! I'd pay everything i earn and even starve just to talk to you for a couple of minutes. Life is so cruel and lonely (especially as an autistic migrant in Sweden) without someone that cares about you and believes in your potential and i reach the climax of mental torment every night as i weep myself to sleep. The only thing i want in life is someone saying "I believe in you and i believe that you can do this!", but i have no one except the daily presence of the very two at whose hands i both suffered and sometimes, thrived.
I haven't taken my life because i have siblings that i love to death and i'm trying to achieve and progress as well make something out of my life.
Get his self authoring program, it tells you clearly how and what to write. It's straightforward and very helpful.
Also, if I can recommend a couple books: (1) Iron John by Robert Bly (2) The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell
Praying for you that you get the help you need. Know that you are much loved.
Hello Joseph I just read your comment and I hear you as to how it is at night when your on your own always relieving memories that you dont want I too have so much trauma that still today is like a deep sadness that others have no idea about but its always in my eye's lots of people still say to me you look sad, and at those times I thought I was looking ok but trauma gets caught in us and we wear our pain and suffering on our faces and our eyes dont lie, I don't know about you Joseph but I know that by listening to professor Peterson is and has been the best information to come into my life, and my faith in God as I do believe their is millions like us just trying to feel safe for once and that only happens for me when I'm home in bed and watching videos that are truly motivational or watching something that feels magical but I'm a older lady now and the past traumas are still their but they are slowly going away but I'll never forget certain ones I just tell myself no not this thought and I replace it with something positive that brings me laughter but what do I really know is nothing I just feel that maybe we all truly are bothered by our past. God bless
You are not alone
@@faznafaheem5086 Thank you very much!
I wonder if tracking cortisol levels might be a good indicator of healing.
Does ones genetics store and recall ..ie is there memory of acts, experiences stored in genes ??and what if the possibility of past dangers exist still , in present recent history and increasing ,yet in different format ?how what to do to counter and unjustify the suffering ?
Are you talking about epigenetics?
💯💯💯💯
💞
Cognitive excercises absolutely do help, seems JP is quite under researched on that subject.
I am confused. I have traumas from when I was 8 and now 8 years later the memories are still are as bad as then. However I still have the limitations I had at the time, so what should I do to map out the territory and overcome the fear?
Do shrooms about it lol
Mapping out the dangerous territory is a way of overcoming those limitations. So take Jordan's situation for example: if he were bullied for being disabled, hypothetically, and those disabilities still existed you could say he "still has" the same limitations. But being able to navigate social situations and know who/what to avoid would count as a way of overcoming those limitations.
Our "limitations" are only threats to us relative to our surroundings. You could be an awkward dork in one social circle, but utterly fascinating and respected in another. As the old saying goes, "know thyself."
Hi Tamara, sorry to hear about these challenges. Pennebaker has an excellent method and Andrew Huberman has an excellent breakdown on the structure of this.
I highly recommend checking it out.
So the point is journaling about your traumas helps to understand yourself in the present?
I was young for my age, that made me laugh :D
sorry to nitpick, but this would have been a great vid instead of a good one if he had not been repeatedly and unnecessarily interrupted. still, there is great value in it. thank you.
Thanks, Tammy. This can, indeed work for punctual instances of trauma.
This doesn’t work for me, though, for two reasons. Firstly, for one to recover there must be something else outside of trauma. Secondly, one must be outside of the traumatic experience. Since 2020 it’s been constant for me. And the traumatic factors are everywhere. Literally; it’s not like I could take refuge in another country. I saw what humans are REALLY like and capable of. I don’t trust anyone or anything anymore. I just cannot wait to leave this world behind. It’s a horror show.
Are there instances where you shouldn't do this? Certain psychological/mental health problems? The level of trauma?
If the topic is too hot, write one sentence. The past authoring start with the distant past. That shouldn’t be too much.
Please stop interrupting him
this family is so attention seeking its INSANE.
How are they attention seeking if it’s their profession ? And they create content around it?
So INSANE how ridiculous your comment is 😅
Are you not seeking attention right now? Are you insane too by now?
This family is blessing countless numbers of people in an age of confusion and chaos
Why is this rude woman interrupting all the time?!? 😳🙄
Don’t be an arsehole. She is trying to help him to make some sense which is a near- impossible task.
