How Trauma Gets Trapped in Your Body Part 2 | Vagus Nerve, Orienting Reflex and the Amygdala

How clearly the complex subject of PTSD and it's solutions are presented in this video.Hats off to the presenter who spoke better than a Harvard Professor in simple and dynamic ways.Thanks once again.

I'm 59, was abused from childhood through my early 30's before I escaped. I feel like this is the first time I've understood myself.

Sending a hug to all who are suffering rn.. keep going, you will get there 🤗

This is actually helping me to learn how to relax. It is not automatic yet to learn how to relax. Part of it, believe it or not, is that you are a very nice lady. My trauma was early and involved learning, so niceness and patience to explain everything and not test us immediately after (and shame mistakes..my father's style) helps me sooo much with my learning trauma. Thanks for being such a good teacher. It helps me get what I need on a safety level to relax and learn. I can't learn when I don't "feel safe" enough. My brain just seizes up. Having a good teacher is a gift that we don't always get. The safety I need is not just physical, it is actually mostly emotional and worry about how I am going to be treated.. with love or abuse. And then I fawn to try to make my environment the way I need it... supporting my abuser so he/she won't emotionally cut into me.

My mind is just blown! I've literally have been having mental breakdowns. I have been suffering from trigeminal Neuralgia. I've had vasovagal esponses where I've passed out. I have finally gotten myself into therapy after fearing opening Pandora's box to all the traumas I've been through. And after being tested I have been diagnosed with Complex PTSD, major depressive disorder and anxiety. I also have hypothyroidism and IBS. It's crazy that this is all connected and nobody has really connected the pieces together!! Thank you so very much for breaking this down in it's simplest form! I truly appreciate you

You have no idea how much your videos are helping me, but I still need to see a Therapist. Thanks so much.

This explains why children, those with disabilities hum. It calms the nerves and gives them a happy place, the ability to trigger relaxation

I came here to learn about the connection of a long haul covid condition called 'anosmia/parosmia' to our emotions and the vagus nerve.....learning so much more!❤ And it's good to know that I am on the right track regarding humming and breathing. I tried the Wim Hof method but it made me more anxious, so am learning rhe Buteyko method instead....slow, gentle breathing.

Prayer,diet,exercise,fresh air and nature, frequencies,selflove,selfcare,self-love,, environments help with all of this Most importantly get abusive toxic bullies out of your life!!!! I have ptsd & anxiety 🙃 Still dealing with an abuser regularly we share a child I stay in flight/fight mode Grew up in abusive toxic home 20 year cycle with an abuser I isolate myself which makes it worse Overtly independent 🙏Amen

just listening to this and understanding, I felt my body started to relax, calm down, I dont even realize how stress and stiff my body is all the time. Thank you for this.

I don't think you understand how much you really saved our souls. You dk how huge the difference you made is

Recently I found out I have PTSD, pushed away my GF (she was the trigger), had no clue why, want to start figuring out how to fix it and she is gone... like sooo gone, blocked everyway possible... My timing has me experiencing emotional stress and heart break that is so overwhelming. We all are facing challenges. At least knowing what they are will allow us to cope, heal and be ready for the next time it shows up. I will be heal!!!

Smell is part of past trauma!! Yes!!!

I'm learning and healing as I go. Dr. Snipes is an amazing teacher.

It sucks when your married and the other person don’t believe your going thru all this

Love the format of notes and you, 1to1. Many of us can't afford therapy & knowledge appointments. Your human touch is healing. You're very lovable and generous. Respect!

Thank you. This series is important for me as a Ukrainian, who lived through some trauma before the war, and the bombs falling did not help

Do you have a video on how to release the trauma from the body?

Wow I’m not even 10 minutes in and I’m just contemplating the beautiful depth of God’s creation of man

Wow, I love the wrap up of all I have been learning about trauma as this new information becomes available. As a therapist and I am learning to practice these skills to help myself first, then my clients! Thank you for making this easy to understand.
