It's such a relief to know that I don't choose these reactions. With CPTSD, I have judged myself unmercifully for being so shut down so much of the time. This is my first exposure to Polyvagal Theory and I'm hopeful that I can take some actions to help myself in a body based way.
love all these videos as well as your informative e-mails and instagram posts. I usually just put a video of yours on when I lay down for bed and fall asleep to it as if it were a podcast. Have you considered starting a podcast? May reach a wider audience & get a lot of traffic that can be pointed to your channel and instagram. Its a blessing to come across this and be able to be open to this content. So happy to have found you!
Thank you so much. I've been absolutely stuck and dealing with ptsd from a specific time frame and "not feeling safe" daily and this video gave me so much hope and such knowledge to take the next steps to get unstuck and heal. Thank you
Loving this, fascinated by The Polyvagal theory, holding love and respect for this work and everyone willing to hold space and love for how our human body/mind structure manifests itself in this world. 🙏🏻
I saw you on women of impact I think? Got on and started fallowing your You Tube, I have watched so many of your videos and am really enjoying your content. Keep on doing what you are doing because you are making a impact in the world. Thank you! i am a beginner and LOVE all your info and really relate to your content!!!! Dont Stop!!
What a message to hear: how you are/ I am and how you’ve/ I’ve adapted is perfectly understandable and even normal based on what you’ve/ I’ve experienced. Love this!! 💗💗💗
I love this! I agree that not every single technique will work for everybody bc we’re all different with different experiences, but it’s important to know all the tools that are available to us!
Thank you both so much for discussing this. I've been aware of the freeze response for a while. However, I wasn't aware that I was "stuck" in this state for over 4 months, allowing myself and my teenagers to be tortured constantly through manipulation, violence, and both subtle and obvious threats to kill us and or disfigure us by a woman that I let stay in my home. Each day I allowed her to stay, the bonds built with my daughters based on protection and trust broke down a little more. I was so defeated mentally. I thank God that in that moment, my daughter had the strength to pull me out long enough to ask the right person for help. Needless to say, we as a family unit crumbled. It only took 4 months before I punished myself right out of everything good in my life, including 7 yrs of recovery, my kids, my home, my job, my prss certification, and my physical safety, and ultimately my freedom from institutions. I had been stuck in self sabotage mode for the 2 years since. I'm finally starting to move in the right direction. 2/3 of my daughters are now as suicidal as I've always been. I'm trying to correct past failures, but I'm afraid my failure to protect has turned in to parenting out of guilt. From. The outside my 18 yr olds appear to be strong independent women, but then again, so did I.
Amazing work!! Completely agree with all of this! I entirely relate too, with the "irrational" component of the cues as I have a major flying phobia. The countless times I've heard, "you have a higher chance of...", lol. It's very hard to explain to someone who can't relate, because there is no associated logic. It's the physiological response, as you highlight so well.
You're awesome! I want to make a suggestion: I really hope you can get a better mike set-up! There's quite a bit of echoing and noise, and as a post-concussion syndrome sufferer with hyperacussis... It's really tough to listen to! And I know I need to learn this stuff! With love 💕
5:34 he definitely knows what that feels like because I do to it seems so ridiculous it's like you can never find a real way to control the feeling of being out of control.
I just had a light bulb come on around the reference around Big "T" Trauma I think I understand it's when the actual trauma happened. My environment I reside in can be really distressing at times. I like the talk around drawing the fast and slow. my mind is telling me not to move my body.
Yes re music - helps balance brain waves - try Binaural beats designed to balance left and right brain (when out of balance we feel chaotic and ungrounded) and get us to certain frequencies whether to relax or focus...

Thank you for your kindness.
Oh, I felt like this was just like part 1; knowing what the theory is. And I really wish for part 2: how to fix it :p
I will do more deep into this. Thank you for the feedback!
NARM and somatic experiencing therapy are a road to healing for me
Breathing and cold showers or baths.

I take Lexapro and I notice I involuntary clench my jaw and shake my foot a lot more when I’m consistently taking my med
Sympathetic arousal(flight) Can you share how insecure disorganized attachment is influenced by this aspect of the polyvagal hierarchy?

Wikipedia saying this is a theory, i guess that makes it real then.
