As much as I appreciate him, he isn't completely correct about people with chronic pain being able to do yoga. Some people have conditions that DO prevent that. The analyst asking the quesion sounded biased too,. when they half quoted their patient "no, I cant do that". How about believing people? Perhaps, appropria movement can help, but it would need tailored develolment, I've seen the disabilities that go with chronic pain, and yoga is NOT an option like he claims for us all. Also when chronic pain presents itself, it can have a devastating effect on a person's mental health and it takes time to come back from that. Perhaps, that's where he and this clinician can best focus their attentions: the parts that make pain worse, with an overtaxed central nervous system. Also, I hope he knows that feldencrass (sp) isnt available to just any disabled person with pain. Some of his blind spots include seeing his work as omnipresent, and while "whole person" approaches can be helpful and similar, perhaps he doesn't not know more details about pain attached to syndromes and disorders that ARE genetic. Genetics still matter. Medicine still has a place. Yoga cannot cure everything alone, and that IS "whole person" when we consider multi-disciplined approaches. It is some of the more frustrating things to hear, when our joints wont support the body resistance it takes to do yoga. it borders on disparaging and inwas disappointed to hear this response. He's not a specialist in chronic physical pain and/or disibility.
In other interviews he does not rule out medicine. He presents this as a tool that has been found to be helpful. He also has mentioned in other interviews that this is not a 'cure all', as every human is unique dealing with their unique lives. But in his lifelong experience, he has found this works and why it works. He also at other times mentioned other ways to stop the anxiety in the moment the memory is happening. I have the journey of chronic pain. My hope for you is that you find success in your journey for relief.
@@sheilaalexander7324 I’m glad that he gets it then. This moment was either before he became aware of disability or he didn’t give a nuanced response at the time. Thanks for elucidating what he has said about this. Makes me feel more confident in his work on behalf of those of us managing both physical disabilities while healing with CPTSD, etc.
Your political commentary at the beginning traumatized me. A discussion about trauma and you start with politics? I do not need help from a pompous ass who is unaware of the democratic strategy for the world.
The future of Psychiatry. Right there. Right now. Bravo Dr. 🤝👏
Thank you for the video! Dr. Van der Kolk is always charismatic and brutally honest. I admire his intellect and appreciate his unpretentiousness.
Well said.
pro tip: you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Allen Joaquin Definitely, been watching on Flixzone for months myself :D
Thank you, Dr. Van Der Kolk! You are an amazing person.
thank you for uploading this video!
What foods have dopamine that we can take and help our motivations?
Similar with asthma: Patients started dying from the condition only after medications were developed to manage it.
Blah,blah,blah,the talk doesn't start until 3:45.
Note to videomakers it's about the subject and not about the person introducing!

Yoga is just one fake hype
