Sher, you are a lovely man. I congratulate you on facing your childhood trauma. It's about time I faced mine. I am now almost 79-years old. Mine happened in 1958 when I was 14-years old. Since then I have suffered with psoriasis. I still work out with weights. When I was younger I ran, practiced Karate, and lots of other stuff. But it's still there and I still see myself as a weak man. And so it goes!
🙏🙏🙏 Danke dass du das geteilt hast. Ich bin 80 Jahre alt und ich fühle, dass ich noch einige unerlöste Themen in mir habe, an die ich noch nicht herangekommen bin. Es macht mir grossen Mut weiter zu machen, auch wenn mein Blutdruck nicht optimal ist. Wenn ich achtsam und in meinem eigenen Rhythmus trainiere, bin ich immer mehr überzeugt, Resultate zu erzielen.🥰
No wonder i am crying at the last sentence. You are a strong man who has conquered the adversary of trauma. InshaAllah you will be fine. Wim Hof is an amazing technique . i am practicing from quite some time now.
Brother, thankyou for sharing this. Everyone knows how many seeds are in a single peach. But nobody knows how many peaches spring from a single seed. What you did here will surely reach and help many others!
Love your spirit. I am on a similar path of discovery of trauma release and a lot of cold exposure! the breath is really life changing, and for the cold I pour a 1/2 gallon of water over my hair, head and body outside at night, it was 13 degrees F and windy the other night and I did a deep 8 minutes, it was beautiful, I don't understand how I can walk away from that with such a warm feeling!! My son was shocked my skin felt warm! Wim sums it up best, all the love all the power. What a simple and incredible thing, a great addiction.
a true warrior you are ! thank for your honesty - inner feelings are mostly harder for men to share - no matter if they come from the east or the west - no matter what kiad of traume you experienced or took on from your ancestors - but exactly this readiness to admit how you feel inside makes you the strongest one
I started the cold shower routine last year in the summer. It was not really difficult as the weather here in Japan is really super hot at this time of the year. Progressively the water became colder and colder, in the autumn and in the winter. So much so that there were even days when the pipes were frozen in the morning. But I kept on with the cold shower through it all. On the hardest days, when the icy water was really stinging, I would picture you on your bike in the cold Dutch morning, bare chest and a big smile on your face. That helped a lot so thanks!
That was beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. I shared it with a psychologist and a psychiatrist who have heard of the Wim Hof Method through me. I know that one of the psychiatrist's patients mentioned on his own that he was using the method for depression.
I healed my depression and anxiety (and several addictions too) inflicted by childhood trauma with the Wim Hof Method in just 4 months. Cold , breathing and meditating only I'm not at the peak of my health yet , but the results so far are amazing
Mr. Wimhof did humanity such a great service when he upgraded/modernized the wisdom of pranajama | yoga | meditation for modern busy people and making it aproche able for the common man. Thank you and Namaste 🙏
Beautiful story Sher. You are an inspiration. Being a WHM practitioner myself, I know too well what the method can bring to rooting our traumatic experiences. Blessings🙏
Amazing. I started the fundamentals 2 weeks ago. I used to take 5 minute warm shower and then cold for a minute or so. After one week I started straight cold showers and after first minute of sort of cold shock, it feels great. Now I can take 7 mins or longer cold showers and looking forward to starting ice baths and walks. Thanks to Sir Hof ❤️❄️🤝
Wow, im in that same situation and just got out of a crisis center for having anxiety attacks from childhood trauma. I'm a mother of 3 and only have my partner as my support... its time, ill try it! Thank you Hof 💜
You look very happy and peaceful - so it does work. I'll be swimming myself outdoors tomorrow (with the help of God). Thank you for relating your experience, its heartwarming.
MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR VERY PERSONAL JOURNEY WITH US HERMANO!!!!!👍🏼 TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE HEARD YOUR KNOWLEDGE & WISDOM THIS MORNING; REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR YOUR WORDS OF BRAVERY & ENCOURAGEMENT, GRACIAS!!!!!!! 👍🏼💞👑💞🙏🏼
I am so proud of this amazing amazing, amazing Afghan Dutch man! It is hard to recover from childhood trauma let alone be vulnerable in sharing your pain with the world. Wishing him all the best
Many thanks and Many Blessings to you Sher for sharing your inspiring journey with us on RUclips. Peace and Joy, good health, Blessings and Grace to you and to all of your family and friends from Santa Fe, NM, USA.
Yeah it’s like a drug! I was crying over my gf breaking up with me until I took a cold shower. It literally clears away anxiety and depression the more you do it
@@markjiannino5643 amen bro cry it out brother grieve and heal. Your a good person trying to grow everything will fall into place all your blessings are incoming you already know. Cold showers ftw
you're an inspiration for a lot of us. It's obvious you're a very strong man now. Thanks for sharing💚 I only just started with the wim hof method recently after lots of trauma and extreme burnout.
From experience doing the high-pace breathing exercise while suffering from heavy stress and anexity (can) actually make things worse everyone is different. The breathing method is causing an increase in stresshormones and ramps up the body, its a very strong exercise. I would advice people starting this method to breathe slowly and in a pace that doesnt feel uncomfortable or rushed (IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE). I'm not trying to discredit the WHM method just never force or push yourself just because "everyone else is doing it", listen to your body. The cold showers/bath you can start with right away, and never ever take solo baths in a lake by yourself if your not experienced.
Yes it's true that every human being has a different body. But use any breathwork on high pace and there will be tons of things coming out. Listen to your body, Wim always said this. Don't rush things, trauma breathwork is heavy but it also says something that a lot of things coming out. It's true that when you go on high pace your nervous system needs to land, because of your whole chemistry was unbalanced. It's a normal process. Same if you go to a therapist and start having heavy conversations, you going to feel like shit afterwards. So don't fully go on the excersises, listen to your body and critizize your own knowledge by doing this.
Thank you, I really needed to hear that. Amazing story. I moved from the Netherlands to Portugal, most likely to escape things from the past. The Atlantic here is cold enough and just half an hour on a bike from my place, no excuse. Time to start...
I was such a good fighter, as in fighting back against all the pain inside me but I feel I've lost that fight, and am worried but thank you for sharing this
Waaw... wat een heftig maar ook mooi en eerlijk verhaal . Respect man. Ga ook aan jouw denken als ik s'morgens na de ademhalingsoefeningen in mijn onverwarmde zwembadje duik. Happy,Stong and Healthy! Thats what we are. ❤
Brilliant! Inspirational! Wonderful that you have overcome and reconciled your traumatic experiences and can live life fully with joy in your heart, mind and body, as is your and everyone's birth right 🤩
...such a ...moving story told with such sincerity...such a beautiful outcome for him and his family...reminds me of the song 'See the Light,^...isn't WHM a such great Godsend ...❄💥❤
The breathing opens up your painful memories Memories you've chosen to hide inside, experiences you weren't able to deal with, they never left you You can now confront them again, and this time you will be victorious - let the feelings out, cry, shout, scream! Whatever it takes! The breathing opens the door to whatever it is that you're withholding inside

Thanks for sharing WIM these are the best videos are you doing freeze the fear again series on BBC the more people see it the more they will shift to the realization alot of their issues can be solved by embracing the cold
I'm 27 and have c-ptss, depression, anxiety, personality disorder ect. Been in therapy for 10 years. And still stuck in life. Dont have help for a year now. And dont know what to do. But also very lazy and not out of my comfort zone to do anything like this. I hate the cold 😖 how will I ever heal ? I just cant do it out of myself.. need someone that gives me that motivation._.
I strongly recommend you try the breathing exercises every day for a week or 2 just to get started. If you search for the free RUclips video from Wim where he guides you through 3 rounds you can just listen and follow along. And take it easy you dont have to do all 3 rounds at first... ease into it... but REALLY try it. It has helped me
So inspiring. I feel the need to get into the cold water but I would like some guidance, or a partner for out in a lake or pond. Not sure how to manage my reactions to the cold yet.
Start with a cold shower. Before you know it you'll be used to it and you can try it out in ice or open water. But never go alone in open water. Find someone to go with you who is just as crazy. It will change your life!❤
I would recommend a cold bath instead of a cold shower. Far more satisfying and spiritual. Make sure there is enough water in the bath, as your heart needs to be below the water level. Before getting into the water take a few deep breaths and prepare yourself. I usually get into the water slowly and in four stages. First, I step into the bath. Second, I kneel in the water, Third, I sit down in the water. Fourth, I completely submerge my upper body and shoulders in the water. I will also submerge my ears and the back of my head in the water. While doing all four stages, I breath fast and deeply, by inhaling and exhaling quick and sharp. When I’m in the water it feels like heaven. I stay inside for 20 minutes. Then I get out and stay under the cold shower for an additional 2 minutes. Then I get out, look and smile at my little walrus figurine, get dressed, feel amazing, go to bed and sleep like a cozy log.
“You are not weak for what happened to, you are strong for talking about what happened to you” Beautiful💯

And so it goes!
All the power to you
Hows it going now sir?
The best thing we can bring to the world is a healthy self. What an amazing story of transformation. We can all transform.
Such an open and honest story. Thank you Sher! Let your story be an example to many who struggle with the past.❤❤❤
Thank you

The breathing exercises have helped me so much.. coupled with yoga it’s like a personal therapist without the awkward convos
I'd like to try them. Where do I start? Can u help and point me in the right direction?

Wijze woorden Sher en een herkenbaar verhaal. Ik hoop dat je trots op jezelf bent, want daar heb je alle reden toe.
I love this man so much. The method has made my life so much better. I actually look forward to cold showers every day
You are such an inspiration, changing the lifes of so many people, I honestly want to be like you someday, and inspire people with my work.
I've been slacking with my cold showers these past few weeks and this has given me the motivation to get back to it. What a story.
Thank you Sher for sharing your story with us. People like you give me hope for humanity's future.

I believe you can Gary. Find a good somatic experiencing therapist to guide you and it will only get better from here on.
Wishing you well!

Verse 1
Wim Hof is a champion of the cold
He can brave the sub-zero temperatures bold
Living life in freezing icicle snow
On this brave man, nothing can slow
Chorus
Wim Hof, a hero in our eyes
Courage and strength to defy
The cold he takes on and never rejects
The Iceman protects, no one suspects
Verse 2
Marching through the snow drifts, standing tall
His spirit won’t break as he takes on life’s call
He fights every bit of chill with his breath
Wim Hof stands proud with his courage
Prachtig verhaal. Heel sterk. Best of luck man.
