I feel like carrying trauma and resolving it can be like needing glasses. You don’t know how poor your eyesight is until you put your glasses on.
That's a beautiful (and true) analogy.
Lol ridiculously accurate XD
Wow! That hits deep 😢❤️🩹
Oh yes, that misinterpretation of facial expressions was so true for me. I felt stressed out whenever someone didn't excessively seem to be happy or positive. Neutral facial expression led my mind to constantly worry about what that neutrality meant. In fact my mind saw neutrality as something to be extremely careful about.
Sonja Kunesch same! I noticed but didn't realise why I did it. I thought maybe I was too moly coddled and needed to toughen up...
.
Same! ❤
Ditto! This makes so much sense to myself and those around me. They would get so confused on my reactions :/ it never made sense to myself either.
100% resonate with this! Most mornings at work I would catch myself trying to figure out what everyone’s mood was like using facial expressions and usually they’d had a neutral expression which would make my trauma brain go into overdrive and come to the conclusion they were all angry and aggressive!
It was very helpful because for me personally it touched my core issue, because i always thought i have social anxiety, when in reality i'm afraid and feel people as a threat. Please keep posting those videos and god bless your mature beautiful soul.
#selfhealers, here's a little more on polyvagal theory + how trauma affect the body. Let me know if this was helpful!
What role does the polyvagus nerve play in the polyvagus theory? Is it retaining the memory of those traumas? Retriggering the traumas with a physical feedback? Is there a way to heal it?
Thanks as always, Jason.
Really nice information. Your passion for this topic radiated out through your lecture 🙌
So helpful! This has really helped me understand why I walk through the world constantly on guard, feeling unsafe in nearly most environments. Thank you for your work and videos! I’m off to watch more and learn all that I can 😀
I think most people carry trauma, but most also don't realize they do. It's easy to say we're tired because we're busy, but the fact is, the world we live in is traumatizing. For most. Except the ultra privileged. But even they have problems and aren't happy.
People with fibromyalgia have an important role to play in showing people how much trauma affects the body. We are ultra sensitive, for probably a variety of reasons. But most people could probably really benefit from the things you say, not just those of us with a (or several) conventional diagnoses.
“Seeing fearful faces as angry face” I suffered for years because of my assumptions. Thinking I was such a good people reader. I’m doing the work and it’s working. Thank you.
I would recommend "The Body Keeps the Score" by Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk
This book is phenomenal.
Yes I just finished it. It's revolutionary for me!
Currently reading this right now, very interesting so far!!
Thank you, thank you and thank you again.....I am so grateful I found this site🙏🦋
And it's the worst when you felt threat from the therapist's face. No wonder I felt anxious every time. Thanks for explaining!
I'd like to point out that you can also end up with a dysregulated nervous system due to physical trauma. In my case a vitamin B12 deficiency. And the symptoms are similar if not the same for psychological trauma. That's because trauma, no matter the form, affects the polyvagal nerve and that also means that the same background knowledge and treatment options can be very useful! For me it was sleep, yoga, meditation, music and nature.
each of your videos is so important to get to know one self. Could you talk about (high)sensitivity and what exactly happens in the body when we are dysregulated? Thank you for providing us with the real deal knowledge!! 🌈🙏🌎
Does this tie in with people on the spectrum? Especially in regards to misinterpreting facial expressions?
Interesting question!
Do you do any coaching and mentoring, counselling to change habits. On line zoom for someone here in the UK. Your really extraordinary. Please let me know how I can contact you
Hi Shima, I am a UK based therapist. I work very similarly to Nicole, this stuff is really brilliant and it works! If you are interested in finding out more feel free to reach out. L.
Can we go ahead and make your book plan a series plan with 14939284 volumes please 💜💜✨✨
Thank you for uploading -- right on time!
Hello Dr. Nicole,
I watch all your videos and they are all pretty informative and helpful. But, I couldn't understand this theory. Everything felt very rushed and confusing. Please make a part 2 on this topic, with a longer video addressing the why, how and what.
Thank you ❤️
I suffer with fibromyalgia and ME and im sure trauma and disregulation are a massive factor in this. Thank you for the wonderful video. 💐
Facial expressions are so important to know who's safe to be around so that's yet another reason why everyone being forced to wear a mask is dangerous and harmful.
I’m 33 (34 next month) and with my counsellor today, I discovered what I thought was “normal” disciplinary actions my parents took out on me as a child, was actually abuse.
I always told myself the story that’s how all parents are to their kids. Of course they don’t but it’s amazing to me how much I clung on to that because I love my parents (my dad has passed away) and I don’t want to look at them in a bad light, I have so much resistance to admitting to myself that what they did was wrong. I can understand it was their programming and past experiences of how they were treated as children themselves. That does not make it OK but it is helping me to find forgiveness, especially towards my mum whom I lived with mostly as a child and whom still lives today. It makes me sad because I can’t go back in a time machine as an adult and tell them not to do each thing. I am so sad and I know it’s ok to feel that way. For so much of my adult life I have buried my thoughts and emotions so deep down, as was taught to me as the right thing to do. Now I am relearning what anger feels like, slowly finding my voice again and learning to love and accept myself.
Today, since the abuse has been brought to my attention, I’ve begun to work through the emotions and memories, leading to so many realisations and deep inner-knowing. I am grateful for this kind of work, for my counsellor and for your insightful videos.
Thank you 🙏
This went deep into my soul 🥺💔 as if I was reading something that I wrote to myself. By the time I finish typing this, it will be the 2yr mark that my Pa went to be with Jesus. Thankfully the good LORD gave me the gift of forgiveness towards him before he passed 🙏 💝
I still struggle to forgive my Ma. I'm in my 50's & she still treats me like a teenager & triggers so many bad memories.
I love her, of course, she's my Ma. But more often than not, she is very detrimental to my mental health.
I can totally relate to not wanting to speak negatively about them. I truly do not wish for anyone to see my parents thru my broken heart 😞 this is why I have put off therapy for so long.
I have Fibromyalgia, along with many other autoimmune issues.
It's an Epic Struggle 🤕
Constant PAIN, Anxiety, Depression & CPTSD.
I finally took that 1st SCARY step & i am currently seeing a wonderful therapist 🙌
Love & Hope to YOU ❣️🕊✝️
This is the video she is talking about in the end. - for everyone who is about to search -

Parents don't look and smile or interact with they children because they are too busy looking at they phone. A form of child abuse
Thank you so much. I found this video extremely helpful.
Soooooooo excited for your book to be released!! 😍😍😍❤❤
When does it come out?
I follow you on FB but just found out you have videos ❤️
Misinterpretation of facial expressions is so real in my case!I never even thought it was wrong until now... thank you for the video!
All your videos are so helpful, thank you so much!
Omg, this is SO me
It was really helpful for me ! Thank You so much !! 👏👏👏🔥💥💫
Thank you
Wow! Another great video - so well presented and packed full of valuable content. thank you.
Amazing helpful informative video! Thank you so much, Nicole! It’s really important for me, especially now! 💓🙏🏻
Everyone, give yourselves a hug.🤗
I'm basically watching your videos like a playlist and learning so much so fast and some of which I was surprised to find that I was already doing, I just wasn't too conscious of it. Thank you so much for these, honestly...it's opening my mind in healthier ways.
Very helpful and clear explanation, thank you.
Thank you Nicole, you are doing GOLDEN WORK
Thank you so much for this video! You explained polyvagal theory in a really sympathetic way. That's a skill!
Also, I have always felt a kindred spirit with autistics and Aspergers ( I know its not said anymore ), you made it clear why. Thank you thank you thank you!
Why is that? I’ve been reading a lot about autism/Aspergers just out of curiosity.
@@kathy2888 I'd say it's due to the propensity to mistake neutral expressions as aggressive.
WOW you just brought things to my attention about myself that I have felt my whole life and never really realized. Thank you so much! I can't wait to start my journey to self healing.
I can't even tell you how much this video helped me.. wow
I'm an agnostic but you're doing God's work ❤❤
We had the same mother. I'm struggling with the mother wound.
Hi Nicole! Have you ever considered enabling your videos to receive subtitle suggestions here on youtube? I would love to be able to share your content with my friends and family in Brazil.
This is awesome
Excellent
Great insight Dr. Nicole, very clear.
Wow! It’s unbelievable how true you are . This is so profound
Sobbing with identification. Obsessed with her.
Your content and presentation were simply great. I teach mindfulness for wellbeing using mindful movement for self inquiry. . I loved your presentation. Thank you kindly
? Thank you for what you do- & How you do it! Can you please speak in more depth on those whom experienced trauma or repeat traumas--- afterwards go long blocks of time being unable to cry? I know PTSD/CPSTD play into it. What causes that? It feels like the body protecting itself; but at same time it's harmful to not release. I've gone through most of life self treating this by watching or reading super emotional stories, just to cry. Then at other times the tears just fall out. I'm naturally a very feeling, hyper sensitive being. I don't want to cause more harm to myself, and I also do not want anyone in my life to feel that I'm 'cold,' when I naturally usually would show huge emotion. So...
? ? How do I get my body to stop suppressing my pain/hurt/emotions/tears?
My God! Everything described in this video, is a complete representation of my 40 years of life! But, I live in Scotland and I can't afford private mental health care, the NHS is so broken & over stretched, that there simply aren't enough resources to actually make positive change in that field. As a result, I live a life of total solitude, because I am unable to trust anyone, due to me being dragged through the Foster care system, on & off from 18 months old, until I was 18 years old. I'm now almost resigned to the fact that there's just no help available for me... It sucks! 🙄
This is some highly valuable and profound insight. Thank you.
I'm 18 and have almost no actual friends. I mean o can't even talk to them, it's better over social media but like when personal I can't just figure out what to fall about, I feel 5 feet apart from them, I don't feel close. Don't know if I've anxiety or trauma
I had learnt so much, tried everything to heal from childhood traumas, it wasn't until I addressed the imbalance within my nervous system that I Healed became Balanced, quiet within
How does the vagal theory fit with single event PTSD where the trauma has not been caused by child abuse from another person/s?
Teach us how to heal trauma
Very interesting, thank you!
some people ( parents ) are overloaded with unconscious spiritual residues of contracted painful and terrifying feelings because of resistance of pleasure during sex ( read Love Sex and your Heart by Alexander Lowen ) causing past memories to arise from the unconscious including contracted pains and feelings of terror
also some people never heal their past traumas because every time they think about their past traumas they spiritually split off from their physical body and leave and go back into history psychically and re-traumatize themselves by jumping ship so to speak ( they need to stay present and feel their emotional wounds in the now moment )
You are one of my inspirations, you’re words are really important for me 💖
thank you!!!!!
is the polyvagal theory really solid scientific proofen?
yes.
The Holistic Psychologist Hey :) I just overviewed this discussion on researchgate and it seems that the poly vagal theory isn’t that solid. It’s just a theory, but not that scientifically proofed yet.
www.researchgate.net/post/After_20_years_of_polyvagal_hypotheses_is_there_any_direct_evidence_for_the_first_3_premises_that_form_the_foundation_of_the_polyvagal_conjectures
Why exactly do we misinterpret facial expressions?
Our limbic system in the brain misinterprets them
Excellent excellent video...many thanks
I love your videos. Thank you so much.
But for me sometimes is really hard to follow you. Could be possible Spanish subtitles?
Hi your content helped me so much! Pls you do a vid about chakras and how childhood trauma affects our chakras and energy flow
I've been following your insta for a couple of months now and had no idea you had a youtube channel, probably others as well. You should promote it more.
Thank you! ❤️
Thank god.
Spot on!!!! Thanks for the wisdom!!!
Thank's so much for this brilliant explanation on Polyvagal Theory Dr Nicole! It's so important for us to build brides between theory and peoples experience and you do it so beautifully! L.
I love your sweater, and your whole vibe in general! :)
You're my hero. Literally the best doctor I've ever come across in my life. Thanks a million stars. I usually feel stuck but I'm still somehow a stubborn optimist. And having *Dr Nicole* (through RUclips) with me on this journey means a lot to me. I feel like, there's this stranger out there who actually cares about me and giving me life lessons like identifying trauma which is essential in the healing process... Love ya! And to everyone reading this: I'd like to think on some level we're all in this together so let's not give up on each other, beginning with ourselves❤Namaste
Thank you 😊
Yay!!! Just became a member today I am pumped to continue my life long healing journey!
Misinterpretation of Facial Expressions. I didn't have this issue until after being in a bad car accident. I realized it, just didn't know why or what was happening. Thank you for explaining it and putting it into words to make it understandable. It makes sense now.
Soooo helpful, explaining in laymen terms. This makes sense of difficulties I have had throughout my life. Thanks for your very helpful videos.
So would people with NPD genuinely see the victim as aggressive and angry? I ask with the understanding that NPD is born out of trauma, I’m recovering from abuse and this makes total sense for me right now, thank you x
Can you please make a video about shutting people out/ not allowing close relationships? I struggle being vulnerable because as a child, I was not seen or heard, and often disregarded for having serious mental and emotional problems. I feel like after being hurt so many times, I completely isolated myself from my family and created huge walls so that I couldn't be hurt again. Now I struggle with being vulnerable, even though I can see where it comes from. I want to be open! love you
Love your videos and love your bracelets but they make a lot of extra noise in your mic. When listening with headphones on it hurts the ears. Maybe I’m just sensitive but wanted to share.
Alexander lowen described pretty much all of this decades ago in his book depression and the body
Definitely a man ahead of his time
Do you think unresolved trauma can cause female pattern hair loss, known as androgenic alopecia for a woman in her twenties?
Hmmm, any PCOS diagnosis?
Brilliant video thank you
Is this similar to the book The Body Keeps the Score? I’ve heard it’s really really good.
Wow I never thought about the facial expressions but it completely makes sense. Thank you 🙌
Thank you! Definitely something I experience.
Thank you Nicole, as always. So helpful. ❤️
Eye-opening, thank you so much!
Thank you 💯👍🏻
Thank you
You've taught me a lot, thank you for doing what you do 💟
Wow! 🤯
Pls do a video about sense of self!
How do we treat adult PTSD
ur honestly the bestttt
Thank you.
Releasing my own trauma with plant medicine since January 2019. Finding you, joining the Selfhealers circle in November 2019. I am a polyvagal focused therapist, although retired my credentials because not doing DSM DX...so, this is all about integration. Thank you for validating my path of selfhealing.
