Titration. Why it's important when HEALING trauma. Special Topic Lecture with Irene Lyon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- This month's special topic lecture was all about the concept of Titration, what it is, why it is important, as well as some examples of the different traumas we stored (shock trauma, early trauma), and how we might titrate (and heal) pending these different scenarios. I dive into some hypothetical examples as well so you can understand the complexity of this level of healing and learning, and also why having the basics of nervous system health and its foundations on board is essential so you can navigate as much as possible.
Here are some Questions/Topics I discuss in this chat:
4:37 - Background of how Irene got into this work
8:25 - Early childhood trauma/connection
9:34 - Ability to go with the flow when triggered/stressed
11:53 - 1-1 help
14:12 - What is Titration?
16:51 - Healing stored survival stress (fight/flight/freeze)
19:33 - Developmental Trauma
21:16 - Fight/Flight/Freeze
24:40 - Syndromes of trapped survival stress as an adult
28:05 - Autonomic Nervous System and interconnectedness
30:29 - How do you titrate when life doesn’t ‘allow you’
33:32 - How to know when titrating or ‘hiding’
35:34 - Signs of building capacity and becoming more regulated
39:07 - Why not one way of healing works for us all
43:09 - Titration and feeling all the emotions (and pendulation)
49:38 - Working with freeze and fear (feeling it but not being afraid of it)
51:25 - Feeling healthy aggression (fight response)
53:33 - Fear of ‘kill energy’
57:38 - Building capacity
58:15 - Behaviour changes
1:01:39 - What if I can't titrate
1:02:07 - Working with organs/body parts
1:04:06 - Too much too soon
1:05:17 - Learning to be with our bodies in the capacity we can
1:07:09 - Sickness and trauma, stored stress, toxicity etc...

For me personally, this has been the most exciting videos you've made because the Universe gave me the opportunity two days ago to move into a trauma memory, fully connect, feel it, act out and fully move through the after effects of the trauma! It was incredible. It unfolded over about 6 hours but I wasn't fully aware of what the actual process was until the next morning after a good night's sleep. This work is so freeing! And not just for me. I do it for my mother, her mother and whoever else I'm here to do it for. Thank you Irene and your Dream Team!
Mara here from Team Lyon. I love that you're allowing room for the process, and sharing it with the generations.
Yes, lineage work. Especially the female line. We’re doing it.
Bravo. Freedom in the body. I hear you. Yes I do this for me and all of my relations 💗
You are an answer to prayer!! I’m ecstatic I found you and all your valuable information!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the hours you spent studying this to benefit all of us who need it!!
Hello, Sophia from Team Lyon here. Very glad you found this channel and Irene's work! There is a mini-training plus more excellent free resources under this link if you feel inclined to check them out: irenelyon.com/free-resources/
I absolutely love how you refer to your patients/clients as students. And further how you refer to healing as learning a new language. That was huge for me just now. Wow. ❤️
OMG... thank you for finally putting words to all that I have been moving through!! This morning, I woke up at 3am with a full on release. It felt SO good. Normally I get there through breathwork or yoga. So proud of my body for knowing what it needs and feeling more safe and greater capacity to release. I love this work!! Thank you Irene!!
This is the information I’ve been praying for. I had all these nervous system responses and I’ve been in fight flight and freeze for 3 years and have gotten ill which has led to chronic shoulder chest neck pain and also dealing with very stressful work I felt I could not manage anymore. I felt like I had no space to heal and unwind, it was one day to another and I was depressed that this is the world I/we live in. I felt like something was wrong with me like I could not work or be like other people. Now I know my nervous system got too much at once and too much for too long.
I have had some past childhood trauma that has kept me stuck my whole life. I'm currently 57 and now dealing with PTSD from escaping a California wildfire in Paradise CA. I'm hoping this will help ❤️
I also have Fibromyalgia.
OMIGOD lady, I was shaking my head yes yes yes through this whole video!!! Thank you so much for understanding.....It means Everything to me!
Thankyou Irene so much for offering this information. It feels like a hug. It is helping me with kindness towards myself amidst a stressful time. My workplace feels unsafe. And I need this supportive understanding in how I'm going to help myself navigate it.
This is so helpful. Gives me a whole new perspective to help heal myself, to help my highly sensitive daughter navigate a stressful world, and also help women I work with that have been traumatized by sexual betrayals in their relationships. Thank you so much for sharing-totally makes sense to me, helps me see how growing capacity slowly is so important and basics on how to go about it. ❤
I’m new here, however, I’ve been on my healing journey for more than 15 years now. I’ve been avoiding, numbing, disassociation, fleeing from my life. I realize where ever I go there I am. I was so ashamed and embarrassed about the trauma I had to deal with in my childhood. I was molested at age 11-18. An abortion at age 12 and kidnapped at age 15. It was a daily war zone. Emotional, physical, mental, and sexual, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2017. I’m in a much better space however, I realize that healing is not a destination but a journey. I had to change my relationship with myself and food. Healing is hard but very necessary.
Alisha P, Jen here from Team Lyon. It's uplifting to hear that found a way to get into a better space Glad you found us here! - Jen from Team Lyon
My first major catharsis happened about 30 years ago, with movement (somatic) therapist, Catherine Fallis of Vancouver, who, like Ms Lyon, studied with Peter Levine. I was exhausted afterwards, but it was the first time in my life, when I had felt any sense of inner peace.
Since then, and especially after my mum passed away three years ago, I have been able to go into myself and my body, releasing different energies that have brought me back to heal, not only my own traumatic experiences, but those of my mum and of my grandmother, both of whom had very traumatic lives of their own.
I am grateful for living in a time when I now have the freedom to let this healing happen. It has been an incredible journey for me, and I will continue to follow it, as it brings me more and more into the light. ❤
Great explanations! I’ve been a little unsure about when to push, when to reel it in, and what to do at different times. I have very little capacity but I’m also determined to get well. Sometimes that’s not a good combination as I will go too far. You so nailed it when you said it’s trial and error and sometimes you’re going to go to far but that’s how you learn where your “lines” are. This was super helpful and well done! Thank you!
Omg finally someone gets it. I need to find all your videos.
This makes soo much sense to me! I had to stop meditation because I hit a place I needed a break and move forward in action after I saw trauma in meditation.
I’ve just started watching your videos Irene when a friend referred me. I’m nearly 65, have been doing healing work for years and in the last year particularly have realised I have in utero trauma, birth trauma, childhood trauma, and been stressed to the max had collapses all my life.
A combination of a number of skilled caring practitioners, Movement Medicine dance, my courage, some dear friends I have now realised that what o have been feeling is not made up. You have in this video and a previous one in a nutshell explained exactly what’s been happening all my life. Thank you so much. I’m about to start working with a mentor a MM professional to dance my way and find my way to healing. The comment about the life force energy, I’ve been feeling for awhile that what’s under earth what appears to be broken in me is a force of immense power that is unbroken. Thank you Irene. I will check out your webpage and courses. Bless you. 💗🙏
Hi, I'm currently living in Malaysia, I'm a mindfulness practitioner and currently will soon be positive psychology practitioner. I've also studied and practiced Zen and vipassana for many years. This is the first time one of your lectures has turned up in my feed. I'm looking forward to watching it and discovering more of your work. I will subscribe. Many thanks 🙏🙏
I found a PSvita in the trash. Playing some not addictive modern games in between trauma releases was life saver 😊
Thank you Irene, i love your work and have learned so much through these fantastic videos. I have worked through your 21-day reset, which i now incorporate into my work with clients.
Thank you for teaching us this. Brazil
Wow I just found your channel. I’ve read healingnpower of the vagus nerve and ctpsd: surviving to thriving I have childhood trauma and I’m caregiver to my medically complex 30 yr old son. This is so practical I am so happy to have found you. Imma check the website. Yes yes yes thank you
amazingly useful information. Thank you!
Thank you so much from The Netherlands 🤩💝
This was brilliant thank you. 😊
Hi Irene, it’s Lizzy from Sydney Australia :), also following you on Twitter & Instagram, l was fortunate to stumble across your talks whilst searching on RUclips & they really resonated with me, enjoying the talks and find them so helpful, Thank you.
this is so.good.irene
First Timer! and honestly feeling so aligned with what you say, and eager to learn more about what you do. For my personal growth :) Thank you!
Bailey here from Team Lyon. Welcome to the community! May I suggest taking a look at the website, IreneLyon.com. There you will find a ton of resources as well as our New Here page: irenelyon.com/new-here/. If you are on Facebook, you might want to check out 'Healthy Nervous System Revolution' as well. 🙂
I would be interested in how this work would help me, as I'm not in 'freeze' as my therapist explained, but more stuck in 'flight and sometimes dissociate '. Most of your videos seem to relate to coming out of freeze. The problem with me is I am too aware of my anxious internal state, and struggle to become unaware of it. Therefore how do I titrate when it's all I ever feel and can't seem to focus on anything else if have anxiety for hours?
Hi Elliot98, Jen here from Team Lyon. Irene does teach about flight and flight too, I'll link to a related video in case you want to check it out.
When we're feeling a lot of sensation, sometimes doing some movement each day (even 5 or 10 minutes) can be helpful. It may also help to focus very briefly on the sensations and then shift attention elsewhere. I'll link a few of Irene's related resources here too.
Other times, this too can be too much and instead we need to focus on access to internal safety and then noticing and connecting to the external world from this place.

GREAT VIDEO. ! Thanks for Creating it ... ; )
Thank you
Hi Irene and Team, apologies for the direct questions and thank you in advance for your help. Is it normal that exhaustion comes with panic attack after 9 months into the therapy?It was very bad, it did teach me self-compassion. First time in my life I HAD to understand what that is. When will these sensations end? I understand that these sensations are teaching us, but it is very difficult to live your life if every day is an "experiment" it feels like there is no stability. A clinical psychologist told me 1.5 year (traditional methods). I am getting mentally, emotionally very tired. :-(
Hi selyemperzsa, Seth here with team Lyon. If you are wanting to recover and heal from unresolved trauma then it is very unlikely that a clinical psychologist will be able to help you. Psychology, psychiatry, counselling - these modalities can be useful for helping people understand themselves better at some levels, and may provided management strategies for gaining more stability, but they most likely will not teach you about the sensations you are experiencing, what they mean, or how to work with them. For that you need this work, which includes what this video is all about - titration! It sounds like whoever you were working with did way too much, as exhaustion and a panic attack is generally not the result of 9 months of good, nervous system informed work.
I feel the same way after years of therapy. It absolutely feels like a big experiment!
Without watching the video I have something to say about titration and this work you do. Education isn't enough and that's basically all you offer. Because when your nervous system is out of regulation you simply don't know your limits. So it's impossible to learn titration if you don't even recognize your limits. And for that you NEED someone who is better regulated to NOTICE your limits and TELL you when your nervous system is going off so you can learn that too. You NEED go-regulation. I was banging my head against the wall with all of this information since I found your channel 1,5 years ago and as much as I felt validated at the beginning with knowing that everything that's happening in me is not anything to be ashamed of and there are so many people out there suffering with what I'm suffering too it didn't actually help me with my nervous system regulation at all. Mostly it worked the opposite way and I started to feel overwhelmed and out of function the more I watched these videos. Feeling the overwhelming sensations and feelings when you don't have the capacity to do that or capacity to stop or titrate is dangerous. It's exhausting. None of your videos have any example of how the titration actually happens. It would be somewhat helpful to see sessions like that. Luckily I managed to find a somatic experience practitioner couple months ago from another country who has been able to notice and tell me when I'm going off before it happens and I have been able to stay connected and actually release something from my system. I didn't have any clue that I was going off but when she gently slowed my process and shifted my attention from not going too far I was able to notice it myself. This has never happened before - not consciously anyway and I realized why things have gone the way they have with following your guidance. I wonder can guidance without connection ever be truly helpful especially when you work with people whose regulation is dysfunctioning. There are risks. I hope people would know and be informed about this. You obviously have very good regulation so we never see the dysfunctioning changes or processes in you. We also always see only the stories and talks with people when everything has gone well. But that's not the full reality. It would be so helpful to see at least some footage of the ACTUAL work with people whose nervous systems are dysregulated. All of this is just lecturing. It leaves so many missing puzzles. It just information for the addicted mind which is already dissociated from the body in the beginning. After watching couple of your videos all of the rest have been just repeating the same information and pattern all over again in a bit different forms. I would like to see some development with this channel. I would like to see someone to show me instead of just ranting. When I was looking for a SE practitioner one of them who I had a meeting with said she sometimes hates what you do because it's like you rip off the bandage from people and then leave them abandoned. There's no attachment. There's no accountability. Those are harsh words I know but I can understand her reaction. I have felt the same and I have compassion for her and my own experience and anyone who might have felt the same. The fact is that many people (especially those who would need it the most) don't have the privilidge for expensive practitioners let alone have access to good practitioners in their country. I'm watching this from a small country with population of total 5,5 million people. We have a huge shortage for trauma-informed therapists. We have only 3 people (in the whole country) with SE -license. This text is a personal feedback from my path and experience so far. I will continue following your channel although I'm having a conscious break watching these videos.
Hi Annastiina, Seth here with Team Lyon. Thanks for expressing yourself. It is certainly true that we need to do the actual work along with the education, and I just want to clarify that Irene offers both. The RUclips channel is mostly education based yes, though there is also this playlist of practical neurosensory exercises, meaning videos for helping one DO the work... ruclips.net/p/PL_tIcR-r0CU5Xss_Mq1buU-tWdYVQksjI
But also, this channel is only part of what Irene offers. She also has created a whole suite of online offerings for people to do the work, and she did this because, as you say, not everyone can afford, or even access, a good practitioner. There are here free resources which include many neurosensory exercises - irenelyon.com/free-resources-2/ , her monthly drop in class - irenelyon.com/drop-in-class-1, her 21 Day Tune Up - 21daytuneup.com/ , and her once-a-year intensive SmartBody SmartMind - smartbodysmartmind.com/. All of these are ways of doing the work along with learning about it, and both the 21 Day program and SBSM include support from our team of professionals.
This kind of online form of the work is self-directed though, for sure, and while there are thousands of alumni who have greatly benefitted, for some people one-on-one work is a better fit, and if one can find a good practitioner then that is great! I'm very glad you have found someone to work with!
Hi from South Africa.. Pleased you back
I am new here and was recommended by my EMDR therapist. I need help with childhood trauma. Ptsd, abandonment, trust, you name it I have issues with it.
Bailey here from Team Lyon. Welcome to the community! There are a lot of resources here on Irene's RUclips Channel, as well as her website: www.irenelyon.com. If you scroll down on the main page, there is a link called 'Free Resources'. I would recommend checking out the 'Healing Trauma: 3-Part Video Training'. A 'New Here' page is in the works. Keep an eye out for that as well. Once you go to Irene's website, if you click on 'Blog', you can search keywords that you are interested in knowing more about and if Irene has done a piece on that topic, it will show up. Here are two videos related to childhood trauma that you might find helpful: ruclips.net/video/GVLS_qL4fVI/видео.html & ruclips.net/video/45DCUAbvhZY/видео.html. Hope this helps. PS. Feel free to join the Healthy Nervous System Revolution Facebook Group. 🙂
I have C-PTSD I’m 63 young. I am addicted to hurting myself I’m tired of feeling numb. I’m starting to get more triggers from a violent relationship I was in.
I would love to hear this video while watching a slide show of bullet lists. I’m a visual learner who just cannot absorb info from a talking head for so long. Brevity. Please. 🙏🏻
yep thats the reality for me
❤this is good news, i would like to speak with you about my situation. I have a new housing, job, etc. but not safe in the meantime due to lack of support to make that move.
My dear, you tell everyone to go look up your three-part series on healing trauma. I looked it up once, and now I can’t get back to it. I’ve spent a half a day trying to find it again. I’ve looked in all of your connections and I can’t find it anywhere. Can you please make it more easy to find I’ve wasted a half a day on this, and I am very ill, thank you. I love your work you are awesome.
Hello, Sophia from Team Lyon here. All of Irene's free resources, including the training are on this page. irenelyon.com/free-resources-2/ When you are looking for something, always look on Irene's website irenelyon.com first, as it is fully updated. I hope this helps.
So. Using the word titration. Sampling and incremental or measured exploration?
Mara here from Team Lyon. In this work, titration means doing a little bit, letting it land or settle, then doing a bit more. So, yes, sampling and incremental or measured exploration is apt.
@@teamlyon3109 Thank you.
So if my bodey starts to shake in some situations that's stuck stres in my body?I was thinkig im going insane
Beautiful top Irene!! Lookin pretty
What it be possible to do a topic lecture like this for resourcing?
Hi Anthony, Seth here with team Lyon. I'll ask Irene, but just a note that Irene's online programs include a lecture and worksheet on resourcing.
❤️🙏🏻
❤
Have heard of Patrick Teahan channel on YT? He has a video about releasing stress. The thumbnail is him hitting a punching bag with a bat. His videos are very insightful dealing with childhood trauma.
Hi Irene Lyon and the team, greeting from Indonesia, I'm in the 21 Day NS Tune Up. Since you talk about titration, i have a burning question around it. How do I know if a certain exposure to stress or triggering situation will build my capacity even better or I'm going into more shutdown and retraumatized? Also, on our side we always want to titrate, but we don't have control over what's gonna happen. Thank you
Hi Nafí Andriansyah, Jen here from Team Lyon. To answer your second question first, no, we don't have control over everything that happens. Sometimes we will need to do whatever we can to navigate a situation - this is life! And then, when we are able to do so, we titrate and pendulate our experience.
To answer your first question, an experience that we want to learn to recognize in this is work is what it feels like to have some activation move through - emotion, sensation, sound, movement, etc. - and then for the nervous system to be able to deactivate. This might look like a bigger breath coming through, a sigh, a softening or settling, more awareness of our environment, to name a few. If a stressor (activation) can move through and deactivate, it's often a sign that we are growing nervous system capacity. If we continue to loop in an experience/it doesn't seem to be moving through, then it can be a sign to titrate and pendulate.
You can also err on the side of titrating more. As long as you are noticing subtle changes (in any direction) over time, then shift is happening. I also want to make sure you know that as a 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up member, you can ask questions on the 21 Day website too!
@@teamlyon3109 thank you so much for answering the question. It's clear to me now how to navigate the triggering situation. But, can we know from before the activation if we're gonna win or we're gonna retraumatize the system? I could spend my entire night, thinking about if i should take a challenge or not. Don't wanna expose myself too much, but don't wanna be in my comfort zone either. How do we choose things to titrate? 🙏🏼
Btw, i didnt write from the 21DNSTU because it might fall into general question, and I feel like this video is a good place to ask this question 😅
@@nafiandriansyah8046, you're welcome to ask here too, just wanted to make sure you were aware you could ask questions there and it sounds like you are. The short answer to your question is that if you're thinking about whether to take a specific action, you can imagine taking this action and work through what happens as you do. This will likely give you a good sense of the level of activation (or charge) associated with what you're considering doing and can support your decision process.
Say if you pushed too far too soon and now have a damaged autonomic nervous system causing digestive problems, heart problems etc. If you allow tie to rest over many weeks, will it return to the state it was in before practicing this work or should you see a neurologist to help recovery?
Hi Hugo. Rest certainly can be restorative to a degree, and if you are already doing somatic work and you are saying you did too much of it, then yes, rest alone can get you back to the baseline you were at before overdoing it. That being said, if trauma is at the root of a dysregulated nervous system (which can include the behaviour of pushing oneself too far!) then rest alone will not help it get back to true regulation, and neither will a neurologist. Neurologists do not generally understand trauma, how it effects the nervous system, or how to work with it, though if seeing one would help you feel better then it's not necessarily a bad thing to do.
@@teamlyon3109 yes sorry that’s what I meant to say, getting me back to the baseline I was at before overdoing it. Thank you
Hi Irene, I did 21 days with you. Now I’m in a very spaced out and full of sensations of dissociation place. I keep trying to orient to my environment but it gets harder and harder. Not knowing to do next? I try to rest but it doesn’t help. I just feel heavy and strange. Is this resistance or old sensations from trauma? My life sucks emotionally, during divorce and loosing toxic friends. I could really use some tips. I do listen to my impulses
Thanks 🙏
Hi Steps 2 better singing, Jen here from Team Lyon. From what you describe, it sounds like you have may done a bit more than your nervous system currently has the capacity to handle - we can be especially prone to this when we're going through a lot, as it sounds like you are right now.
Following your impulses is an important practice. Slowing down, and turning to resources and practices that feel supportive and/or setting can be helpful too. I also encourage you to ask your question on the 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up course site - a few of us are in there answering questions and can provide support as you move through the course. I'll also link to two of Irene's resources that may be helpful.

I've been working hard on healing various cumulative trauma(s), and am doing so on my own, in isolation. I suspect that I'm making a mistake by doing too much, too fast... and not titrating gradually to mitigate the severe reactions of this work. At worst, I've experienced heart palpitations, near-panic attacks, insomnia, and chronic migraine headaches that won't relent no matter what I do, even including medication. Do you suppose this is happening because I'm not being monitored/supervised/facilitated with someone who knows about healing trauma and its pitfalls?
Hi Lani, Seth here with Team Lyon. It can be helpful to have an experienced guide, for sure! But ultimately we all have to learn how to become our own guide when it comes to how much is enough and how much is too much. No matter how skilled our practitioner, we will at most see them once a week, usually, and we need to do our work in the context of our life, not only when we are in their office.
A good guide can help cue you into the signs to look for, that you are becoming overwhelmed, which can help teach you to do that for yourself, AND, it sounds like you are already becoming familiar with those signals, at least after the fact.
As a general rule of thumb - do less, WAY less than you might think. Then see what happens. Once you discover the amount of intensity your system can genuinely process without becoming overwhelmed, gradually increase that.
What about people who cure their problems by facing their fears and acting courageously almost magically converting their pain and disease into strength vs taking years of therapy like this? I know it's rare but still it makes more sense. I'm still paralyzed in my disease and fear(and auto - immune fibro/cfs pots etc) but something tells me that if I could find some way to simply break out I could instantaneously change
Hi juntjoo nunya, Jen here from Team Lyon. While miracles may happen, in many cases when people get better in the way that you describe, the relief is temporary. In a similar way to diets, in the absence of foundational changes, the results usually last for a while and then go back to the way they were pre-diet.
The difference between this and the foundational nervous system work is that instead of overriding what we are feeling or keeping it inside, we grow the capacity and ability to let it move through in manageable ways. The pain and disease (mostly referring to chronic conditions) often does transformed into strength and a sense of well-being. get This can take time, and it often leads to significant and sustainable changes.
I'll link to a few of Irene's related resources in case you'd like to learn more.

How can i know if i do titration ? Im trying to respect the way and the Time my body need to regulate...but stil i do à lot of basic work like being connected whit all appens in me. I can do it 3 4 days before i find my self very calm....and very opens but i can Have a sstressful situations that put me in big disregulated for 3 4 days.... what is that mean? Is that mean im not built the good way?
Hi Jonathan, Seth here with Team Lyon. No, there's nothing wrong with the way you are built! Titration is something that each person has to figure out for themselves - what is enough, but not too much. It takes time.
Also, it's totally normal while in the process of healing to have some good days, then a big stress, and then days when we are more dysregulated again. It doesn't mean we are doing anything wrong, it just means we have to keep on practicing.
@@IreneLyon thank you very much Seth!
Excuse me, do you still have drop-in classes? Thank you.
Bailey here from Team Lyon. Yes, Irene is still doing drop-in classes. The April 19th Drop-In replay is now up on the website: irenelyon.com/drop-in-class-replays/. There is another drop-in class taking place on May 10th. Stay tuned. Hope to see you there!
@@IreneLyon Thank you Bailey.
I am having so much trouble understanding any of this. I know I’ve been in functional freeze most of my life, because the descriptions resonate strongly for me, but I have no idea from these videos how I’m supposed to begin working on that. I’m so lost…I feel like I’m the only one that this is not making any sense for, based on all the comments…. 😑😞
Hello, Sophia from Team Lyon here. If you're new here, the concept of titration might be a little advanced for the time being. I recommend starting from this page irenelyon.com/new-here/ and also checking out the content in our mailing list by subscribing for free. Irene also offers many free resources, that are a great way to begin this work, including a mini-training "Healing Trauma". irenelyon.com/free-resources-2/ I hope this helps!
@@IreneLyon thanks. However, I understand what titration means in this context, it doesn’t seem difficult. I will check out the resources you mentioned. Thank you.
Do you think CBD oil would help or is this just masking the underlying stored trauma? Could it calm the system enough to make accompanying tinnitus go?
Hi Sara Palmer, Jen here from Team Lyon. We focus on nervous system learning and education here and don't have the professional expertise here to comment on CBD oil. There are many different causes of tinnitus, depending on the cause calming the system (though something like CBD and/or this nervous system work) may or may not help to lessen the symptom. With some of these symptoms it can be a matter of trying things and noticing what happens. If you want to learn more about this nervous system work that Irene teaches, her free Healing Trauma video training can be a good way to do that - irenelyon.com/healing-trauma
Victim that was me
Thank you for your teachings. How do we not be afraid of the global control of humanity that is happening?
The Q/A about "when life doesn't allow you to titrate" seems to have gone sideways. Titration is about the release, not the prevention or capacity for new stressors.
And why are we overly emphasizing the role of parenting? Unarguable abuse/neglect excluded, unless one's parents are telepathic, clairvoyant, and omnipotent, it's unrealistic and unfair to blame them for not preventing every discomfort and pain of life. We can only control our own behavior.
We are born with our personality, although it's on a continuum. We are born with a proclivity to autoimmune or mental illness if it runs in our family. Every family has a certain amount of dysfunction because that's human nature. Let's stop entirely blaming their misattunement for how our lives turn out. Especially if you do blame them, not giving them that power will relieve you of the victimhood.
hard as chinese
Irene i just discovered i have adhd. I will sigb up. 2 wild burros walked into camp last nite ate all the dog food then left. Im still laughing. What an ass
Until I see a vid on masturbation and sex and how it can relate to trauma and healing I can’t see that we are dealing with the hard hitting issues… I appreciate what you doing though
Adam Kornecki, everyone has different ideas based on what qualities as a hard hitting issue depending on their life experiences and personal history. Since it sounds like you're interested in topics related to sex, I'll share a related article by Seth Lyon, Irene's husband and colleague in case it's of interest.

Why does all the therapists I see, even PTSD specialists just do talk therapy? It's not very helpful. What terms should I be looking for to pick one knowledgable to work on just feelings and freeze first instead of memories?
Transmogrify
No, my upbringing was not ideal. Nor is my marriage relationship.
V Good and of course Im appreciative of the content and gave a thumbs up but please keep your videos to 30-45 minutes.
Most of us dont need the basics re-explained for 20 minutes. too much repetition. Why not stand alone and make advanced videos rather than be like every other youtuber giving out definitions that have been told 8282727626635 times. We ALL know what fight flight and freeze is. Just a suggestion. A lot of the content is good
Maybe fast forward then. Irene makes it clear at the start she's trying to help people who don't know this stuff. What she shares is so invaluable and deeply generous. Its heartwarming that she is trying to reach so many people, that's exactly why she quit private practice. .
But by high level of Trauma like torture, massive violence and rape from close people who should loves and protect you, you will need a positive healing relationship to heal!
Wisdom and exercise alone will not resolve the problem. Speaking from own experience..
