No one wants to live with CPTSD longer than they have to, but can it be cured? Whether you have PTSD, CPTSD, GAD, or anything else, healing your trauma(s) could save your life, and in this video, you'll learn how trauma is processed in the brain and exactly how I healed my own CPTSD.

It's the presence of trauma AND the absence of something (support/love/care)
Truth 100%
How can you have a 28min long explanation, without saying WHAT you have to do? I mean, the process explanation was wonderfully revealing in a new way. but the end can't be simply: Go through this process. This is still in codes.
Exactly
I hear you! We're gonna make a more actionable video, you're right this one was more the theory...many have asked for more action, and we will provide it. Your feedback is really important to us, thank you!
@krimke881 Even if the long explanation was laid out for you in a step by step format, you wouldn't 'get it' without the struggle. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. You have to be committed to seeking the answer despite the difficulty.
@commonman711 100% - That's a great mindset, it is a struggle for everyone...part of the process. But the work is always worth it.
You've taken almost 30 minutes out of my life for nothing...
It is amazing how addressing trauma and healing it magically clears up the laundry list of diagnoses and the "alphabet soup"
Right?!
I've been in EMDR and it's actually working. Im healing and becoming whole. After a lifetime of severe traumas I'm grateful every day.
If anyone thinks they can't recover they are very closed minded.
What is EMDR, and how do I find it, or better yet, learn about it??
It's 100% possible! So glad you have that mindset :) And even happier you're making progress, great job!!
Yes EMDR works very well, I would say we are blessed to have this tool that was actually discovered quite randomly. Many therapist everywhere, just find one near you.@@johnrobertd748
For me personally, i'm not sure about others. But I'd much prefer: 10% theory/subjective abstract stuff and 90% actionable/tangible.
Thanks for the feedback! Have heard this a lot and will make more actionable videos in the future. Take care
Thanks Kayleen! I've been dealing with CPTSD for some time and it has affected my whole life. I've had loss of loved ones, many types of abuse, and all kinds of other stuff. The time of year when these things happen make me extremely sad, I don't want to get out of bed, or eat, or talk to anyone or anything. I can't focus or follow through on anything. I just want to get off the merry-go-round.
I didn't know that some of those things didn't get deposited in the right place in my brain. I do want to learn how to make the switch to the right place.
Very interesting information and thank you for posting it.
I’m glad you enjoyed it Tami!
I just started EMDR & this video is an AMAZING explanation!! Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to make this! ❤
What is EMDR, and how is that going?
So glad you enjoyed this explanation! Best of luck with the EMDR :)
Thank you for explaining the CPTSD brain it helps understand how my friends thinking works. I never really had this explained before.
Thank you! You are a lifesaver!
Amazing video. Thank you so much. It deserves more views. ❤️
I am 16 years old, I suffered childhood abuse for 10 years and 8 years of bullying, I am in the process of treatment and in January I have an appointment with my psychiatrist to be prescribed medication (3 months ago I was diagnosed with c-PTSD)
Sorry to hear that, Kayleen had it from a young age too...it's SO important to keep faith and believe that you can heal for good. Along your journey you'll find a lot of professionals that will tell you it's not possible because you've had it for so long...but don't believe them.
Le me know if there's anything I can do to help, but keep the faith...it takes work, but it does get better...and the work is so worth it.
Never Seen such a clearly helpful video❤🎉
Such a great explanation good job!
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the feedback
Thank you for all your videos!!! 💛 Finally a light at the end of the tunnel
There is always hope! I'm so glad we can help you, let me know if there's anything else we can do to help...or if there is a specific topic you'd like us to make a video on!
Thank you for this hope it's really helping me
Hope is where everything begins!! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help...
Happy to send resources your way, you can email me anytime if you need help: Brad@OvercomingPTSD.com
I just signed up for Unbreakable and I'm excited. I didn't have time before work to listen to the first module so I started here to take some notes, and I found myself writing the steps to healing before Kaylee had gotten there. Until recently this has all been fog, now I'm beginning to understand how my brain has processed my trauma and I'm ready to put in the work. Thanks y'all, I feel a sense of hope I have been too afraid to touch for a very long time. See you on the other side!
Was great talking with you yesterday man! You're going to do great in the program, if you ever have any questions feel free to reach out in the platform anytime.
It all starts with hope, many people have started where you are...just keep moving forward, keep problem solving, and never give up and you're guaranteed to get there. The only way to fail is to quit....and were here to help you every step of the way!
Thank you❤
How do u get the info into the working memory?
Thid is the only video i found helpful ever
what "tools" for processing?
Hi this was absolutely amazing and really eye opening. This system actually makes a ton of sense too but I'm wondering what about the enlargened amygdala and shrunken hippocamus that is also often associated with C-PTSD and trauma? That plays a role in memory suppression and fear and anxiety and contributes to the need for coping mechanisms. Is there anyway to also address that?
Heidi Priebe (RUclips) covers cptsd issues & healing really well. She says people with cptsd have multiple complex problems, no support, and unable to self soothe (to feel safe and have secure attachment). Dr Tracy Marks (RUclips) says the amygdala is enlarged permanently in child abuse. Paul McKenna’s (RUclips) Confidence hypnosis positive affirmations really build resilience. A trauma therapist helped lift my freeze response and start doing what I need to do. She told me to feel my anger, write an angry letter, then burn it. Basically tell all those those toxic people and experiences to get out of your way, you are taking your self interest back. Which we all need.
Ketamine
how does Ketamine help?@@lovejoy71422
Where did she come up with this stuff?
so what is your professional background Kayleen?
Whenever i try to get help i somehow end up putting myself in like paradoxes
So like
If i take action
Its bad
If i dont take action also bad
So like no matter what i do
It all results in bad
This is the only video i found helpful ever
Thank you for this video. I did appreciate it. It is encouraging to know it is possible to be cured and to heal. However this video has left me feeling frustrated. The title is "how I cured my cptsd" but you did not mention the tools you used to cope or to process. Is there a follow up to this video? Do you have a preferred book you can recommend? Thanks
this was it!!!! This video was the step for step process on how she cured he ptsd.
step 1 use working memory
stept 2 nothing
step 3 nothing
step 4 ok......start using the working memory
Exactly. BS
Yes! I've heard this a lot in the comments, people want more actionable advice, we will be recording more actionable videos on how to actually process trauma! Thanks for the feedback :)
We actually have a book with our top 9 coping tools you can grab here: go.overcomingptsd.com/freebook/
Hope it helps!
Also whenever i think about anything i want to actually do
I think like if somebody yk sees it
I feel like a sensation in my stomach
Pls help me
I've just sent your video to my doctor who keeps telling me I have a personality disorder even though I keep breaking down everything your talking about. I have also attached a complaint due to doctors accusing me of being aggressive and rude which is just a way to shut me up because I don't like confrontation.
Hope it helps! I found with my clients that the most important thing is to focus on the problem and solve it, many of our clients have multiple diagnoses...and we find that those labels can be helpful for becoming aware of symptoms and how trauma has affected you, but after the awareness the label doesn't do much for healing.
So no matter what someone labels you, make sure you know you deserve healing and peace. Let me know if there's anything Ic an do to help :)
Pls help me
One thing that ruined my life is like when i was a kid i like for example i was always like
Hey why the other kid can have a pikachu backpack but i canr

Or like in a certain situation i had to spend time with very toxic eople so like whrn i wanted to say something but i didnt because i knew that something will happen if i say it
So i kina learned that like
"the real you is not acceptable"
And that has severely ruined my life so mich
I absolutely never do what i actually wabt
I DONT EVEN HAVE THE PHONE WALLPAPER I WANT
please help me
Thanks
❤
But What's the solution?
I suffer from trauma try meditation try some yoga but i have moments of depression where i just want to flee i dont wana live and i push myself to do aomething i need help
Brainspotting abd EMDR have worked for me. It was all trapped in my body.
I have cptsd to begin with. How do we get past a spouse that brings on more trauma during a flash flash back. I need to know how to deal with it without going into my long term major how to protect myself. Thank you
Not sure what trauma your talking about with your spouse, but what has worked for us and our clients is removing as many triggers as reasonably possible, and then focusing on processing the root of the trauma to heal the flashbacks.
In regards to the spouse thing, I can't answer that because there are many things that could be happening and would need more information.
If you want more details on how to actually heal I'd check out this video guide I made: ruclips.net/video/IJD35MJPYwo/видео.html
can you please say how to regain empathy after narcisstic abuse.
This is a great full video topic...but I'll answer you here the best I can....
There's a part of you that has been hurt by the abuse and likely distrusts people and even yourself....because it's afraid if it opens up it's heart it will get hurt again.
To be able to feel empathy and love again this part of you that got hurt must be listened to, helped, and healed....first regaining trust with yourself, and then if you so choose, regaining trust with people and the world around you.
I would first start with working with it yourself, and rebuilding the self love and self trust.
Does this help?
Tried 2 days to pay for a membership... Payment service is down...??
Hey! Can you reach out to our support team at Support@OvercomingPTSD.com - I am so sorry the payment wasn't going through for you, we will be able to trouble shoot the problem! Thanks for letting us know :)
Where can I learn how to do this proses?
Hey Valentina, we will be releasing more videos on this specifically...but if you want in the meantime you can email me and we can talk more: Brad@OvercomingPTSD.com
You can also grab a free copy of our relief tools ebook here: overcomingptsd.com
Oxidative stress linked to all. Once things are depleted whole system can malfunction. Need to restore the system, to restore healing, to achieve entire best self. There should be no reason to deal with any memories if the body and brain is healed. Then the memories may still need looked at and stored properly but there should be no anxiety if the body is working properly to reduce the anxiety. I don’t know the answer but I know I’m on the right track. I need to speak with you. Not sure how to get in touch with you but please let me know.
You're talking complete nonsense, it has nothing to do with oxidative stress,only effective psychotherapy the patient is committed to will work.
@@scarred10 I will have to disagree. There is no possible way for some people to undergo psychotherapy. So we need a better way to treat the underlying changes. There is more to it than you think. I don’t believe that the way of fixing it is psychotherapy and learning to live with it.
But how do I put it back into working memory?
Will make a video on this -- there are many tools that you can use to do this!
I'll save you 28 minutes of your life.
step 1 .....use your working memory
step 2 ......your working memory will cure ptsd.
Thats it, thats the whole thing.
Gonna make a more actionable video! You're right this one was more theory and building belief in the process. Thanks for the feedback :)
Life itself is tramatizing everyday. When you are ways left out. Addiction has saved my life. Otherwise i would of killed myself by now. I don't have friends i'm all alone.
Ok i alread Know this and already realised this myself
I understood everything perfectly
But what's the SOLUTION?
So, how you cured it?.. Did u have it? Or is it just to sell the program?
Kayleen had CPTSD for 17 years and healed it completely, at one point she was having flashbacks all day and nightmares all night...we hear the feedback that people want more actionable advice, and we're going to make more videos with more 'how to' material!
Please… people without money that doesnt know anything about PTSD. And it’s hell. So we would be very thankful.
No one could ever forget the terrible thing i was forced to do. I think it's time i wrote my story, so all my half sisters can read about their self and my sick pathetic evil cruel narcistic mother! who didnt deserve to be one! They should have sent her back to the mental hospital and thrown away the key!
I suffered 1 decade of childhood abuse, I perfectly understand that infinite anger towards my mother, seeing how the rest of the people idolize her, saying the classic sh1t of "she did it to educate you" or "you provoked her", I am 16 years old. age and I distance myself from my entire family, it's time to receive treatment and report my mother or take the law into my own hands, whatever, DNA does not create a family
I remember last year sending her a message describing how I would end up with her and I remember sending her gor3 videos while I was doing it, I felt incredible after venting (my mother lives in another country, I had to flee with another relative to the US, I have American nationality)
It even seemed that her was surprised by the violent ways in which he would end her haha, impressive pathetic
I do not see why you would unintentionally store the raw information in order to protect yourself in the future. I think that the reason might be that you do that because the traumatic event is so powerful, otherwise it would not be traumatic for you, would it?, that the feelings involved in that particular moment don´t allow you to think rationally (as in the working memory case) and you store the whole experience (both the data and the feelings involved) ready to be flashbacked in the future. It is the "protect yourself" rationale that I don´t quite understand.
If you were being chased by a lion about to be ate then your body would start a “trauma response”. It would use all energy stores to either fight or flee. Then, if you couldn’t flee you would “collapse” or “dissociate”. The “dissociating at the time of trauma” is a key factor to developing PTSD or C-PTSD. Without the dissociation you still have trauma but it wouldn’t be considered PTSD or C-PTSD. It would then be considered something else but all would create some sort of un-dealt anxiety or depression. A normal stress response is a healthy response where you can be alert and stay safe. Knowing the risks in your mind. PTSD or C-PTSD cause you to again dissociate in the next context as well as to avoid the unbearable as to what your mind is telling you is inevitable. Although, often this response is actually more dangerous and you’re less capable of acting appropriately and keep yourself safe. Dissociation would help you numb the pain if you were being ate alive by an animal. It would make passing more peaceful which in theory sounds nice. It is nice. But when someone has an abnormal stress response to something they HAVE to come in contact with or would actually like to come in contact with then it can do nothing but limit your life and potentially stop you from functioning completely. There’s more of an answer than “avoid”. Avoiding is not always possible. Healing your body and your brain has to be the answer. Period.
You have the same thumbnails as the Crappy Childhood Fairy.
30 minutes video and a lot of explaining, but you're missing the last piece of the puzzle to "how to heal PTSD".
HOW do you take it from the long term to the working memory? That seems like the way to heal, so why isn't that explained?
This is a great question!! And great job watching so closely! This video was to explain the fact that PTSD could be healed and give an overall explanation of why it’s possible but in future videos I will be covering tools that actually take information from the long term memory and put it into the working memory for processing! Each of those tools are pretty extensive so they will each have their own video! :)
@@OvercomingPTSD Can your program help with people that have Borderline personality disorder?
Hey Donnella! Great question, here's what I always say... If your past is negatively affecting your present then you're in need of healing. Really my program helps people heal from trauma, and trauma affects people differently...it can be diagnosed as PTSD, GAD, BPD, etc. but most of the time, if not all of the time, the root comes back to a trauma in your past. So if you've been through a trauma the program will 100% help you. Happy to answer any other questions you have! :)
Wow you're the only person who thinks litteraly the same as me
Lmfao
No but seriously if you read for example the comment about cure cptsd that i wrote, the end edited part lol lmfao
I litteraly agreed and understood perfectly everything you say and not only but also have the same exact thought about it as you did
And i always like talk to people nobody ever has not eben similar thoughts about things not even close
But you have the EXACT SAME thoughts as me, exact same, like litteraly from a to z lol
Haha that's awesome, you know what they say about great minds!
Are your method really?
I don't understand your question?
But how you put in working brain?
Hey Jose, there are many tools that can help you do this...in essence what it means is taking the unprocessed information (thoughts, memories, beliefs, emotions, etc.) and bringing them into the conscious mind to work through them.
Here's a good video on the foundations of processing that I think you'll like, it goes into some strategies on how to do this: ruclips.net/video/IJD35MJPYwo/видео.html
Hope this helps!
Thanks you for you help@@OvercomingPTSD
If you're going to teach something...please WRITE LARGER.
It's a 28-minute commercial. I don't care what happens, I just want and need to know how to cure???
Will make a more actionable video, thanks for the feedback
@@OvercomingPTSD thank you!
Ketamine
NOT A VIDEO ON HOW TO CURE CPTSD!! Just an explanation of what it is. Save yourself 28 minutes
Lot of people saying this, we will make a more actionable video...appreciate the feedback!
Why is this video constructed like a sales pitch? Slow down. Stop repeating yourself 12 times and telling us to listen up. This video is so strange. Feels like im being pitched to join a ponzie scheme. After 3 years of trauma therapy my inner voice is telling me something aint right here. Hmm.
Because she is not a psychologist licensed for therapy, she is a sufferer herself so thinks her personal solution is evidence that works for everyone which totally invalid conclusion. SHE calls herself a recovery coach,meaning she has no professional psychotherapeutic qualifications.
This is explanation of cptsd not a "how to heal". Why do you mislead people who are interested in such a topic😢
You're right, we could have included more 'actionables' -- Going to make a more how to video on it. This was more the theory and belief building/breaking.
Talked a lot but didn’t teach how to do it.
Got a lot of comments like this, you're right, it was more theory and belief building/breaking -- going to make a more actionable video!
Good luck all. this is not for me sadly.
What do you mean, not for you?
If you "healed" it, you never had it.
Haha solid logic

PLEASE WILL YOU STOP CONTINUOUSLY SENDING ME EMAILS!!!
Hey Rosina, you can unsubscribe from our email newsletter by clicking on the 'unsubscribe' link at the bottom of any of our emails!
This is not helpful to me at all. I cannot connect with her, and she has NO credentials. I’ll stick with my therapist.
To learn about how to heal you should go to a therpaist that specializes in this type of Trauma Wound. Not someone on You Tube who is just that -someone on You tube who is a not a licensed therapist in IFS, OR EMDR. She is not correct in many of her statements. Please always let people know, if you are licensed you should let the audience know before claiming you can cure it!
You can heal PTSD/CPTSD 100% -- Nothing wrong with finding a good therapist, but many also don't believe in full recovery...which causes most people to struggle for a lifetime.
People don't have to sit around in pain and hopelessness until they die, there is a way out to heal it for good, and people need to hear that.
I personally never found a therapist who would teach me anything, they always said it's too dangerous to heal on my own...so they didn't teach me any real tools besides how to cope, and then I was stuck dependent on them for my healing once per week.
The truth is that it's not dangerous to heal on your own, it's dangerous to NOT heal on your own...to be left to fend for yourself without weapons in the war of your mind.
- Brad
I dont know anythung aboit yiur channrl as I just found this video in a search. Like another commenter said, the explanation is super eye opening as to how the brain processes things, but the title is misleading. No explanation as to how she cured it and the word "cure" actually contridicts the video in that she emphasized healing instead. In addition, we now have to chase down the videos regarding "coping and processing" which I assume are the actual ways she healed. Please be careful of trying to bait (traumatized) people into your channel to chase healing. Not cool.
Thanks for the feedback! Others have stated they wanted a more practical approach as well, you can check out this video I did that outlines the two main processes needed to heal trauma for good: ruclips.net/video/IJD35MJPYwo/видео.html
Regardless, I appreciate the feedback and will definitely keep this in mind for future videos.
I think cure cptsd is like
Remove the root cause of your problems so that you
Well
"permamently" solve your cptsd
I doubt that's possible lol
Or?
Edit: oh nvm
You said at end
Wow youre the only smart person on youtube for helping people lol
Like youre the only person i can relate to lmfao
Like finally a sane person lol that has a brain lol
All of this is 'duh'. This is no help at all for me.
Thanks for the feedback, what sorts of things would you like us to cover that wasn't covered here?
I have CPTSD and no, long term trauma can never be cured. You can learn to deal with it/live, you can learn where and how triggers show up, etc., but healing? Unfortunately no. Yes, you can relieve symptoms through various methods. But healing? Never. Maybe it's a matter of severity, but severe CPTDS cannot be cured. I studied developmental psychology and have had many years of (beneficial and helpful) trauma therapy without medication. This is absolutely possible with a lot of work and, above all, TIME! What you are telling here may be your truth, but a trauma brain can never be cured. Especially if it comes from childhood. Yes, symptoms can be relieved, but they will always be there. You're giving hope here instead of showing what really helps, such as breathing therapy, etc., endurance sports, yoga, Tay Che, etc. The main thing is SWEATING, sweating out stress hormones/shutting down, having a pet that you have to take care of like you have to take care of yourself, I like to do collages to get out of my head, do body-oriented therapy, go into nature, cook fresh food, strive for peace and quiet in life. Learning to set boundaries, taking care of yourself, avoiding toxic people, not drinking alcohol, etc. These are things that really help. CPTDS is a life of constant burnout. That's why it's called CPTSD. You have to learn to use your resources carefully so that you can live somewhat independently, such as going to work, etc.
Thank you so much for what you wrote, it was even more beneficial than the video.
I watched the whole video and all I got out of it was to use my working memory more.......such a waste of my time.
@@rawfoodphilosophy7061 --> I'm glad I was able to help someone here. I can wholeheartedly recommend the book The Body Keeps the Score:... by van der Kolk M.D., Bessel. It made my life better and I learned a lot about myself, i.e. trauma. I wish you all the best and best regards from Switzerland
Long term trauma can 100% be cured....Kayleen had it for 17 years and no longer does...I had it for many years, almost a decade, and no longer do...and we've helped thousands more...and met and talked to many more who've healed.
The proof is there in the real world, many just don't want to see it, or claim that people never had "real" PTSD/CPTSD in the first place.
The only reason someone wouldn't heal is...
1. They're using the wrong tools (coping vs processing)
2. They believe it's impossible to heal and have thus given up trying
3. Haven't used the tools long enough to develop mastery
4. Aren't spending enough TIME processing (think 1 therapy session per week to heal a lifetime of trauma)
And more...
That's just off the top of my head.
I see people heal everyday...literally.
It's just whether or not people want to believe in healing or not...and whether or not they're willing to learn the tools AND put in the hard work.
Just because it's hard doesn't mean it's impossible...and it is hard and painful...but so worth it!
- Brad
You talked about somthing you know nothing about at the perthetic rate of about three words per second, learn to sit down be quiet for a while and do some thinking for yourself, not just what you heard in a seminar from others that are doing the same thing.
Kayleen had CPTSD for 17 years and fully healed it, I'd say she knows quite a lot about the subject lol and neither Kay or I have been to a seminar on PTSD/CPTSD...didn't even know there were any.
I agree though, 3 words per second is pathetic...I expect more...at least 6. We will do better.
- Brad
This woman might not even have PTSD, so I don't know if this is real, there are plenty of fakes on here.
Haha I can attest she did in fact have PTSD/CPTSD for many many many many years
- Brad
Time heals all. Just live with it and adapt. m 53
CPTSD is poisonous and with time you just get worse.
I'm sorry Keith that's not true.
Hi Keith, I am in my very late sixties trauma all through my life but any new small irritant now brings everything back including early childhood.
Time didn't heal Kay or myself, took a lot of diligent work....but that's not to say you can't live with it and adapt, we just chose not to want to live that way.
This is the worst video on RUclips...
lol welcome back to the comments section
Hi Kayleen!!! Brilliant video!!! I have finally realized that I have to do a family cut off! My hyper controlling narcissistic authoritarian father has made me the family scapegoat for fifty years!!! I stopped calling him and me evil stepmom Josie for holistic healing. The abuse caused me to highly doubt myself reducing my confidence and ability to make healthy choices. The Veterinarian killed my beautiful puppy! My narcissistic neighbor helped keep me away from her! Now he’s decrepit and living in a nursing home. I was severely codependent as result of my toxic, nuclear family. At the moment, my unresolved trauma from losing my house to rats, then being abused by my strange neighbor and father is diabolical.😂❤🦮🐓🐁🐉🦚🎄🐘🐫
