I think that permanent IMPORTANT to be able to enjoy TEMPORARY PLEASURE or REWARD. WHEN we EAT, the satiety is a temporary feeling. We don't stop EATING Because the reward isn't permanent. It's important, as WESTERN SPIRITUAL TRADITION is different at the CORE from Eastern. Rudolf Steiner understood and talked on this before he died in Ea

Thank you, friends. I've been a student of Dr. Neufeld's for many years, and Gabor does a powerful job of explaining Dr. Neufeld's understanding about how unmet attachment needs drive our behavior. There are so many tender, vulnerable ways we try to connect, adapt our personalities, and attempt to meet these basic needs. Compassion, gentleness, understanding, and levity help us relate to these strategies with wisdom and kindness. And we're all in this boat together - this is the human experience.

Exactly, re highly traumatized individuals may suddenly have a paradoxical fear/anger/activation response to deep breathing, meditation practices that for many bring on 'safety.' Why? because their Threat Response has become strongly coupled with any experiences of feeling safe- from years of lived experience in abusive or traumatic experiences. Paradoxical, yes, but very real for some people with trauma. Thank you, Dr Porges, for your kindness and generosity with the Polyvagal Theory, inviting us to apply it, utilize it conceptually and teach it in our own ways. I just love him. Onward, people! Let's return to social engagement, in all the small ways and large ways we can.

It is the first time I listened to Dr. Stephen Porges - so far I heard from him through people who use his wonderful scientific "blocks" in their work.

For decades I believed I could fix myself by "thinking." WRONG! I was literally unable to physically breathe properly beause of a trio of damage at three years old! If I had one tool, it would be my aromatherapy (after making sure physically able to breathe.) Dr. Joseph LeDoux: "The amygdala learns what stimuli to respond to." Dr. Herbert Benson wrote about "The Relaxation Response." My "favorite" best friend today is a tennis ball. I put it against the wall and massage my knots. This also creates the relaxation response of deep release breath. Dr. Robert Scaer wrote: "The Body Bears the Burden." Dr. Scaer explains the body burden in his KZbin: "How the Brain Works i nTrauma."

Dr Levine talks about the nervous system needing connection with others. What to do when said nervous system is actually really scared of other Humans to the point where it produces physiological symptoms such as face and body tension and then pain that often lasts all day. How do you teach a nervous system not to be afraid of people?

You hit the nail on the head & that’s my question too? So I see nobody has replied to this...likely because it involves spending huge amounts of money to get Treatment that some of use don’t have access to & and are way too far gone to deal with their Trauma issues alone... I’ve done every therapy treatment as an out patient - yet 12 yrs ago it was medically written that outpatient therapy is useless 4 me & I need residential trauma treatment- Sadly I don’t have access to it / it costs too much - & I’m alone without support and enduring more trauma from uneducated medical clinicians who don’t have required skills to treat this.. it’s soo sad💔 Trauma is so misunderstood and those who suffer are them blamed & endure more Trauma I send Love & Prayers to all who endure this Hell💕🙏😇🦋

You have to first find ways of finding safety resources in yourself... things that make you feel safe. Then you look at capacity of how much you can tolerate.. then over time you can expose yourself a little to something that makes you feel uncomfortable... then use your safety in yourself. Think about your core wounds and the feelings that you feel in your body. Let yourself feel... and bring yourself back to safety... be it soak in the bath, music, walking... small steps. Then delve a little more over time. There's lots of info .... it just sometimes takes time to find it. Rome wasn't built in a day. And be kind to yourself. ❤

Cultivating safety in your own body first and by exploring your edges. Maybe write down what feels really impossible, what you can do and feel comfortable with , then ask yourself , can I ?? E.g say hello to somone walking down the street, if thats too much, can i make eye contact and smile. Congratulate all of the tiny steps in between getting to a long term goal of maybe, eating out alone/ joining a group. Find a small community/person /people that can relate or facilitate when you have moments where you contract. It will all take time. Be gentle with yourself as you go along ✨️

An incredibly insightful interview, thank you so much. Feeling safe can be a trigger-who'd have thought! It's very relatable, though, and explains a lot about my own, puzzling reactions. Finally. However, it's Dr. Porges' emphasis on self-compassion, and keeping an "ear" open for the body's messages of distress that I found particularly helpful. Thanks again.

That's exactly what I've learned both throughout my childhood and in my early adulthood (CPTSD + PTSD). Being accessible and vulnerable = most likely getting hurt (sooner or later). I perceive ALL people as threat, and, as I'm slowly approaching my 50s, I try to avoid them at all cost. It hasn't always been like that. I used to cling to anyone and everyone willing to acknowledge my existance because my hunger and thirst for love and acceptance was much stronger than all the red flags in the world. I started to withdraw in my early 40s and noticed that solitude, although not an ideal state long term, is the only time when I feel a little bit safer and slightly calmer. There's no cure for so much abuse, it doesn't exist. My brain should and could have developed differently but it was deprived of love and acceptance. Humans are cancer to this otherwise beautiful earth. We always hurt both each other and animals.

He describes the process of trauma based brain retraining programs that attempt to change the neurology driving any condition prone to dysautonomia. It may not “cure” the conditions but it is an aid, a tool in the toolbox. Thank you. And yes… so many of the mind body modalities brought to your toolbox invoke unsafe vulnerability states vs calm and safety. Truth. When giving someone your vulnerability leads to harm vs good outcomes then once can become sensitized to waiting for that other shoe to drop. The doctor who listens attentively to your aches and ills and you enter treatment in trust that they understand they get it… then you realize they have your chart marked as psychological vs any concrete physical findings. Closed file on additional diagnostics not leading to a diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. When you share with people community and workplaces and education facilities you have sensitivities your environment that lead to physical repercussions and they nod and smile and wave and make promises yet you realize they believe and perceive it is OCD or psychological only and there are no physical repercussions and do not make accommodation and you land in hospital with anaphylaxis. When you seek therapeutic EMDR or guided meditation based coaches or counselors or psychologist and they become frustrated when you can’t seem to relax and respond or allow your nervous system to enter into their altered states and you are blamed for having trust issues yet you have been subjected to “religious abuse” or “sa abuse” and had allowed vulnerability and was taken advantage of your vulnerability. Being vulnerable can be a block to therapies that might work for others. I always say give someone your vulnerability up front and early and see what they do with it. Vet before you bet. And there you have the maladaptive predictive programming neurology due to abuse intentional or unintentional… good intentions or bad intentions. Good intentions don’t always result in good outcomes. Know yourself and your reactions and responses and then take baby steps to reprogram. Cults call it de conditioning, de programming the early built in programming of abuse that has been in place for maybe decades. And the mind-body people recommend yoga yet with Ehlers-Danlos that destroys your body it might feel good in the moment but then it wrecks havoc so you really gotta know your audience and put together a program that is really individual specific. Yet including movement in the brain retraining program is critical it’s not just words it’s not just vision or mental intention you do need to include movement but it needs to be movement specific to that persons body difference and challenges

I understand what you mean. Peter Levine talks in this video about how having someone help you, be there with you, is necessary. I agree that, with the right practitioner, you can make significant progress. But a good, trauma-informed therapist who is not condescending and bringing their own issues into the picture without realising is hard to find, even if you can afford one! I have found that I can process and work through much of the considerable complex ptsd I experience on my own, using my connection to spirit as a witness sometimes. Learning different approaches and techniques from different sources (books, youtube), I feel as though the person I learned from is kind of my witness, my hand holder. Much of the work I do is reparenting my inner child, for which I need no one else, just my inner child and me. Sometimes my best friend is my hand holder, but usually after the fact, one I have done some processing. There are many approaches suggested by different broadcast healers, as I call them. Good luck on your healing journey. 🙂

Absolutely spot on - I've researched my Trauma extensively 12+ yrs - no therapy has worked ,- most me more traumatized... Sadly the intensive residential treatment for Trauma was recommended for me 12+yrs ago & it's the ONLY treatment I've never had. Why?... because it costs too much money - so I've spiralled further down into the PIT OF HELL most don't understand - everyone & everything I loved cherished for 15yrs was torn from me in the most horrendous way. I've tried and done everything yet don't have the money I need for specialized treatment.. now I'm getting physically sick & I can't take it anymore. Not what I wanted or ever expected yet that's the Truth for me. I can't go on 💔 Wishing all of U who endure this Love, Help & Healing 🙏💕😇
