The first thing that I'm going to do with this new information is stop beating myself up that I can't always be in control of my emotions. Then I'm going to research EMDR and tapping and really start caring for that broken, traumatized inner self so I can begin to heal and in doing so correct my neuroception.
Frances Ball That sounds like you’re on a good path. If I could make a suggestion to check out Irene Lyon here on RUclips; you’ll find tons of free videos diving super deep into healing trauma. A lot of what she teaches is based on Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing work. I only chime in because this work has completely changed my life and I just feel that people should know about it! Anyway, best of luck to you and may you you be well!
As as chaplain in training, I have found that visiting with patients sometimes produced a physiological response to their stories. I’ve been unpacking these responses with my therapist.
Patrick Sandford . UK. I am an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I realise now that at the time of the abuse my Upper body went into Freeze mode. My upper body has remained somewhat shrunken, weak shoulders, undeveloped chest, all my life. My Lower body went into Flight mode. I ran everywhere. Anywhere else was safer than where I was at any moment. So I have strong sturdy legs, but difficulty in maintaining stillness. I guess I have to concentrate now on breathing into my upper body and on allowing stillness.
I learned EMDR online based in n Shapiro's explanation. It works wonders for flashback minimizing! And reshaping the experience helps too; in my MRI - I had non-epileptic seizures and had to be still. So deep breathing, interpreting the machine as a cozy cocoon, visualizing really happy moments, and tensing every muscle one by one to stay still worked. That was I was present and coping. I think the technician suggested it, because it was before I knew what the issue was.
This information belongs in the hands of the trauma survivor herself/himself. I say this because we cannot afford the practitioner who does not take Medicare or our insurance. Sexual abuse trauma survivors need self help practices and support groups with other survivors that are free. They have been systematically limited by cost prohibitive practices of, once again, well meaning clinicians.
Hi, we understand that cost may be prohibitive with our programs, so that's why we try to put out these short videos. I would also like to direct you to our blog, where you can access informational articles for free (www.nicabm.com/blog/). Hope this helps!
I notice he talks about "immobilizing without fear." Immobilizing means "restrict the movements of (a limb or patient) to allow healing." I wonder if our bodies immobilize in an attempt to heal itself from what it perceives as a physical problem... 🤔 I was reading recently the process of what death is like, (panic isn't always dying,) and part of what the brain does is takes lower priority senses, such as fear and pain, in order to focus on survival. As the steps continue, the brain begins shutting down more processes that are less of a priority to survive, focusing again on the main purpose of survival. I could be totally off topic, but I do wonder about this, if it's a defense mechanism for survival, including people with FND who lose the ability to use their bodies...
Since suffering from a severe trauma 9 years ago, I cannot sleep regardless of what I do, tell my mind, or perform relaxation techniques. And, through it all, I get told (by people who has never experienced a trauma) that I just need to "get over it," that I'm not "trying hard enough." It always comes from a good place, but such "advice" is all the more frustrating and crippling. I just want to sleep, and I've spent nearly a decade going to over 25 doctors (mainstream, alternative), being on pharma meds, going to therapists, yoga, acupuncture, massage, exercise, mindfulness training, meditation, and so, so, so much more. I realize that the answer or solution is inside me, but my nervous system refuses to cooperate. In a couple of meditations it actually frankly told me so. How to befriend that damaged area, and tell it that things are OK?
I've found neurofeedback to be extremely helpful. This is neurological brain training. Electrodes are attached to your head and you play a video game with your brain waves. The game is designed to activate and calm different types of neurological responses. T4/P4, the trauma protocol, trains you to minimize the over reactivity of the amygdala, lower the tendency to dissociate, and gently train your mind to be present. I also find that meditating with the muse headband is very useful.
I highly recommend Dynamic Neural Restraining System. They have seminars, where you can get a 5-day immersion in techniques that you then practice at home for the next several months. The fact that you can practice at home--and the fact that it WORKS for flipping the switch on a hyper-sensitized limbic system--make it a very affordable treatment. It change my life--by a couple orders of magnitude more than the various other things I've tried. I wish you the best...and, unlike some people you've encountered, I believe you *are* "trying hard enough." (Those people no not whereof they speak.)
I wonder if EFT (tapping) would help. Thanks for the description of internal Qi Gong. Also, Internal Family Systems therapy is healing for attachment wounds. Sending love to all.
This is quite interesting to understand another human mechanism of fear as I use Emotional Freedom Techniques aka Tapping or Energy Psychology which quiets the body, the emotion and the thought or mind jumble.
A few months back I had to have MRI scan for my ears so they put a helmet like cage on my head to keep my neck still. plus the mask on my mouth... (due to covid) as I went into the white cylinder like space, I started praying in Jesus name, it relaxed my soul for a while but after the 5th minute my heart started pounding faster and faster which then turn into panic attack...to my knowledge I don't suffer from anxiety attacks so it was purely due to that horrific mri machine. I buzzed the button they gave me before going in it, with sweaty hands and trembling voice asked if they could let me out...the nurse said to hold on another 3 min. I did. But once I come out I was 10 years older with pale and tired face! So in short I will look into his theory. I already respect him for his theory. What a nice man x
That sounds horrific, torture in fact. Especially with a mask + helmet. Why do these machines need to be like tubes?I know I could never go inside an MRI scanner- the breast crusher machine is an instrument of torture & bad enough. Once only never again! Who invents these things? Are they intended to torture people?
Did Porges have a traumatic event that caused this response? Without that detail it doesn't really prove the point at all because he ain't comparing apples to apples.

Hello and thanks for the video. I have experienced trauma like car accidents as a kid. I have struggled with my mental/emotional health as a adult and think it's related. Can SSRI medication help with these types of issues. Thanks.
It can help. Alcoholism is where you can’t stop drinking even if you know it is harming you physically, socially, financially. If you have a drink to cut the edge off of a panic attack I don’t see the harm. I had to stop drinking because of a health issue and was prescribed diazepam for panic attacks. A nurse friend said to me you know that is basically the same as alcohol. With the way insurance companies are right now it is very hard to get a doctor to prescribe Diazepam at the end of the medical system cycle doctors are under the insurance companies policies. So even they thought it could help they might not do it because it is so heavily regulated and there is a mound of red tape to get through. I don’t see the difference between self medicating and what a doctor prescribed. They both can be abused. Oh by the way at one point in my life I had developed a hand tremor the doctor advice “Have a glass of wine.” As long as it is done with restraint and awareness I don’t believe that makes you a alcoholic.

@Ncyim what does it mean to include the vagus nerve in the practice? How do you do that?

Thank you dearly! This information is beyond profound. I feel it might very well be life changing.
This is quite interesting to understand another human mechanism of fear as I use Emotional Freedom Techniques aka Tapping or Energy Psychology which quiets the body, the emotion and the thought or mind jumble.
This chanell is very helpfull as a therapyst in continuos learning. Thanks a lot, i really apreciate this information. 🇺🇾

Claustrophobia. I have it. I think it’s a pretty natural response to being put into that situation
That sounds horrific, torture in fact. Especially with a mask + helmet. Why do these machines need to be like tubes?I know I could never go inside an MRI scanner- the breast crusher machine is an instrument of torture & bad enough. Once only never again!

I have to Dissociate to have an MRI or fMRI without going ape. My monkey brain goes wild. It's a vagal response, a vagal storm.

من اهم الاشياء في التعامل مع الصدمات
هي تقنية تستخدم في ما يعرف بالبرمجة اللغوية العصبية.
ان تجعل المريض كأنه يشاهد نفسه عبر شاشة كبيرة امامه.
يتخيل ذلك بكل حواسه ومشاعره واحاسيسه .
اي انه مشاهد وليس مشارك في الحدث
اعتذر للكتابة باللغة العربية...لقد شاهدت الفيديو مترجم
Yoga, pranayam ( deep breathing ), shab asana , aum chanting, mindfulness breathing , aum meditation helped
Question doctor? You're incredibly insightful btw...
In your opinion, would physical symptoms manifest during the healing processes?
Hello and thanks for the video. I have experienced trauma like car accidents as a kid. I have struggled with my mental/emotional health as a adult and think it's related. Can SSRI medication help with these types of issues. Thanks.
Interesting. Do you think alcohol somehow 'stops' this? I've heard people use alcohol to deal with it and get rid of the physiological response...
That’s called alcoholism.
@@Genam888 still doesn't answer the question.
It can help.
Alcoholism is where you can’t stop drinking even if you know it is harming you physically, socially, financially.
If you have a drink to cut the edge off of a panic attack I don’t see the harm.
I had to stop drinking because of a health issue and was prescribed diazepam for panic attacks. A nurse friend said to me you know that is basically the same as alcohol.

@@acousticintervention7163 I did reply to your question.
@@finsterthecat she was talking to Megan Louise. Who apparently has no clue what alcoholism is.
Hi Jeff. Sorry to hear of your struggles. In the range of things you've tried did you try EMDR?
