You are 28 now mate, i wish you well. I am 23 rn and i am trying to seek the best version of myself.

[@PapaD93]

The best part of the day is logging into youtube and seeing an Elliot Hulse video thats +10 minutes long!

[@str8todamoney]

I watch them while working out and it enhances me mentally. I push even further when I hear his words.

[@Ghost_Hardwar3]

str8todamoney I never thought gargageband would be useful till I put a bunch of elliots vids together lol

[@HKS-uc9vl]

str8todamoney Has Iowa morning

[@OutlawLift]

Probably one of the best videos from Elliott. Coming back to this after 9 years and still this resonates so much. So good to watch him talk.

[@NetPwn]

Elliot Hulse, living legend with a legacy that will last forever.

[@PapaD93]

Oh my god, if elliot makes a book, ill cry in happiness! lol

[@FortHYPEZONE]

he did now i think its cañled KING

[@zachmachiorlete9593]

I experienced the 'temper-tantrum release' for myself a few months ago through screaming and thrashing to loud music. So much that I teared up. It's comforting to know that this is established as a healing activity. So I'm not crazy...well I'm still crazy, just less so.

[@kenichishirahama3728]

Ok, no lie, I thought you were going to be a tool when your videos first popped up as suggestions...and you're fucking brilliant. Thanks for being a positive force in the world. :)

[@DanHammonds]

Wow, that first example is just like me in every way. I used to go and sleep over a park or in garages some nights to get away from it. I was such an aggressive kid, but as a man, I can be too soft. One of the reasons I back down a lot is because I'm scared of that switch inside me getting flipped and reverting to the violent person I used to be.

[@darkmikerises]

I think every guy goes through this maybe every human being

[@DanHammonds]

Michael Glaberman But not every guy could seriously hurt others when he flips out and that's what I was known to do in the past.

[@bobjones5370]

Dan Hammonds are you saying that youre afraid of hurting others if you ever get too angry? which is why you tend to be alone sometimes?

[@stellailyayev8861]

i think for most of us this describes our childhood. my parents fought too, it was scaryyyyyyyyyyyyyy. until my mom got cancer and passed away when I was 8. bioenergetics has really helped. I just wish i didn't have neighbors next door where i can really release all the tension and trapped emotion that I may be carrying.

[@markhoward1825]

Stella Ilyayev Do what I do, Drive somwhere fairly remote in your car where there's nobody around, turn the car off, get in the passenger seat and let it all out... scream, shout, flail....

[@Kevimilk]

Yeah this shit happened to me... still affects my behavior. But im working on it little by little. Thank you Elliott.

[@ponder2006]

Good luck to the guy who asked the question, just know that you are not alone. This is more than dealing with the ego, and just trying to fight the ego without dealing with this curse will not work. As Elliot said the brutal trauma has to be dealt with first. I was hoping for an easy solution, but this is painful....worse than I expected.

[@JacquelineSchmidtTV]

This is true, a few days ago I started shaking out my body and started yelling(Much what Elliott does) I ended up falling on the floor crying for a while. I haven't felt so good in years, It felt like a giant weight was take off me.

[@JacquelineSchmidtTV]

Lol thanks Lenin DC

[@TheBigbrotheriswatch]

are you naked

[@docmgr1]

I just started watching your videos today and I must say I've learned more about life within these couple of hours than from most of the other people I've known. I've recently turned 18 and I've already been through a lot of the things you've mentioned in your videos. I feel like there's a lot of things you've said that I knew before, but was always uncertain of or was too afraid to believe in. I'm glad I found you today Elliott, because lately I've been getting close to falling into the same holes I've been in before, and I need to man-up, ignore the toxic people in my life, and start being my own person.

[@johnmag202]

Tony How are you now?

[@WhiteCanada1]

Wow this is some really deep shit man, really touched me.

[@Davidp915]

Elliott, your videos are so good they almost make me cry. I haven't suffered abuse but I do have an anxiety disorder and this is really great advice

[@aida5317]

I see myself reflected in the case you are talking about. And you know, from my own experience, I started to recover from that trauma when I stopped needing my parents. And that’s happened to me recently. I didn’t take revenge upon them intentionally, cause that will reaffirm their lack of respect for me, and will confirm their attitude. Or even feel deeply sad about that kind of life that fate has chosen for me, cause they wouldn’t even recognize those symptoms and help me. Instead of that, when I separated physically from them I separated also emotionally, and that gave me a greater vision. And the vision was that I don’t really need them. From the emotional distance they looked smaller, even insignificant. I discovered that I didn’t recognize them as my parents, I mean, as my love sources, nor in the past nor today. And that kind of forgetfulness means also death, it is the death of the past, the one that releases you. Thanks.

[@avish3956]

Wow! Amazing, even I disassociated myself from my parents by any means and that was very peaceful.

[@sebashburner5809]

I’m 28 and I started watching Elliot’s videos on and off about 7 years ago. 4 year ago I changed my life thanks to Elliot’s videos. I find myself back at the beginning, here, today, understanding this video because I didn’t understand this 4 or 7 years ago. I am thankful, to have learnt something significant, something meaningful, something that has given me a realization that I needed today. Thank you, Elliot.

[@MansSuperPower]

Dude, I've watched a few of your videos. I must say that I just love your energy, the life force that's just thrusting out of you. It means that you've done some colossal work on yourself and I'm inspired by that. Keep up the good.

[@awfulpwn]

i have a degree in psychology and i approve of this video

[@thorfinndonar1717]

Elliott!! I've watched this video at least six times over the course of the last five years, and its always relevant! Thanks for being a fantastic long distance mentor, brother!

[@michealcordova3481]

Holly shit I just went into another world... Thank you Elliot...for everything

[@mahatmalamb7116]

This shit almost made me cry because i had a wave of memories hit me at one time in the beginning in the video. The shit you experience as a child always play out as you get older.

[@glennrasmussen56]

From the buttom of my heart. Thanks, for not only this video, but all of them. It rellay helped me a lot. I allready felt it somehow, but words and energy on it helped me exercise it. I will give the knowledge and motivation on to wereever it is needed.

[@DaltonPietersen]

God this man is so right... I was like the guy he is describing. I overcame it with weight training.

[@toocheaptobuycolognes3681]

Elliott is an insightful man. The way he speaks about the things he knows, and the things he knows, show the mark of his experience. And I will say, I owe you big time. You have put into perspective, the things that I've managed to only get scattered glimpses of, at best. And having felt your impact on my life, which I've still got ways to go with, I can see why and what so many men struggle these days with; they lack male role models. They lack a man of your caliber in their lives. Thank you.

[@fargin2778]

Having grown up under similar circumstances and really only realized the damage trapped in myself in my late thirties and having to work through my trauma, I'm completely amazed how accurate Elliott is on the subject. Thanks!

[@Gokuflex]

Awesome message!

[@sirliridon.4419]

I'm so lucky I got to know Elliot on KZbin!

[@roki92]

Elliot is one of the greatest examples of alpha evolution and I am really grateful of discovering him. Everything in my life has changed so much thanks to him. Thank you Elliot.

[@limeros88]

I have experienced the same issues during my time as a kid/teenager.. but I got sick of the response the world was giving me so I just made the most extreme you can do physically :) I joined a elit millitary training, made it through and now nobody looks down on me any more, because I am no longer a frozen soul :)

[@speaklikeanative]

holy fucken shit is this the most potent video Elliott has ever released or what?!

[@vincevanneer8325]

Thank you Elliot. In the past couple of weeks i have learned so much about my physiology and how to become a better version of myself, i say better because i'm always shooting for the best version but i know i can never reach it. You are a wise man on the level of ancient greek philosophers like Plato or Socrates, Socrates looked like a homeles man but had great knowledge about life and ourselves. You are the same. At first glance you are a strongman meathead but you have proved to be one of my greatest mentors and you my brother have touched my life. Done.

[@juanc.zuniga4371]

But seriously, Elliot is a blessing.

[@hitmikey]

Hi Elliott, long time listener and watcher and first time poster. While obviously sometimes you speak at length, you have touched upon this topic in an authentic and very powerful way - DONT JUDGE YOUR PATHOLOGY, EXERCISE IT. Stay strong my friend!

[@1212zeek1212]

Whoa. Thanks for being someone who is brave enough to say what you've said here. You're an inspiration.

[@doomer0079]

I used to rage and scream in the gym to free my soul from that pain and tension Now i became more free , more relaxed and less stressed Easy to focus It's awesome.

[@greggreg7400]

what's breaking me right now is I remember watching this when it came out, at the time I was working on myself, making progress, lost 20kg fat, for the first time ever had a 6 pack, had money stacking up in the bank, became more confident met a great girl. Then somewhere along the line everything fell apart and now i've just stumbled across this video again. 8 years have disappeared and i'm now further in the shit than when I started.... and this trauma video makes a lot more sense to me now. Every step taken over the past 8 years I have avoided facing my trauma and so every step they've I've taken has ended up slipping right back

[@JIxUSTICE]

Crazy isn't it, I remember watching these videos back then but it did not click as it does now

[@Firebreath01]

I spent 18 months living with chronic elbow pain from an injury that should have resolved in 2 or 3 days. I would avoid carrying even a glass of water as I anticipated severe pain. Eventually I came to the realisation that my problem was psychosomatic, so called 'trauma' or fear. Once I let go of that fear and returned to normal movements, my pain dissipated fast and my strength returned astonishingly fast. Now my ultimate goal is to be the strongest version of myself or to be what Abraham Maslow said : " whatever a man can be, he MUST be". Once you let go of your fears and start moving towards your goals you feel a sense of emotional freedom and belonging, or the feeling of being at home wherever you find yourself.

[@Andrew_Georghiou]

3 minutes in finally something i can almost exactly relate to. I'm excited cause I'm gonna feel like Elliott's about to talk to me and help me specifically. I'ma grab some popcorn

[@jonatanolsen37]

I cant get my eyes off Elliots perfect theeth, its hypnotizing.

[@justincarver8162]

This cat right here. If you’re looking to grow as a person- mind, body and soul- then you’ve come to the right channel. Yo man! A thousand thank yous for the work you’ve done.

[@enricocapecelatro3670]

Awesome talk, as usual. After seeing some video of Helliott, I feel that I know better how works my body and how it is sometimes more important than the mind. It's true...movement is essential. Everything that remains stopped or too much firm will die, especially our body and then our mind. Movement is everything!!

[@mPsyguy]

Elliot I am very grateful to have you in this world and your incredible vitalizing knowledge available on KZbin. During this video I felt as if you had the specific key into my mind and you simply opened it and verbalized to me exactly how I feel and also explained why I feel so, and as you were talking, tears came down my eyes as I started to remember forgotten traumatic experiences from my childhood of which smothering effects on my nervous system carried on to this day. I believe there is truth in your wisdom and I am now starting to implement it in my life. You deserve to be heard on TED.

[@Nephibis]

This is my favorite one I have heard so far. I really needed this, because I am affected by things from my childhood

[@jalo1548]

This is the best strength channel ever, period. It does not just aim at the physical and structural strength, but the mental strength is also a huge focus. This man is such a great influence on kids, teens and adults. Mad love for this guy.

[@Tes73792]

You explained it very well, Elliott. This video is really great. I think this whole problem is mostly based on fear. Fear to stand your ground in front of your parents. You have to get out of the fear you have experienced as a child. Because, as this video revealed, you are still carrying it in yourself.

[@BatmanProject777]

You're always awesome to listen to, Elliot ! So animated, passionate and HONEST ! This vid reminds me of how good it feels to start crying during action movies, ( weird, romance movies, not my thing, don't phase me ) seeing someone fight instead of cower. After a shitty day at work, on the drive home, shutting the windows and screaming my guts out has a brief therapeutic effect too

[@alf8569]

you're amazing.. I would buy your book in a heartbeat. I need all the help I could get & that's why I watch your videos. Thank you so much for this!

[@War4Skills]

I really hope you get famous, Elliot. Not because for the fame, but the broad amount of people you could help with your AMAZING speeches! Thanks man!

[@mdkvisions]

I had the same problems as a child mum and step dad Alcoholism, fighting arguments, police weekly and I felt helpless but I was never a pushover as my environment/community didnt produce pushovers as you had to learn quickly at an young age to stick up for yourself. I have empathy for the guy it's hard to grow up with broken parents.

[@dmod686]

This Will help a lot of people

[@NJHMhandyman]

This is the main problem ive dealt with. Robbed the first half of my life. Kinda sucked I couldn't function as a youth because I was a good looking kid.

[@NJHMhandyman]

I actually still live with this trapped trauma in the form of chronic neck tension. I've tried many different things to try to dissolve it, from meditation, hypnosis, psychedelics, yoga, marijuana, exercise, etc, but it doesn't seem to ever go away. Mindfulness meditation probably works best, for it's purpose is to accept and observe the tension without trying to get rid of it.

[@tylerdurden2511]

Patrick Fearick Maybe if you start digesting it... chewing it... i mean, saying to yourself, "ok, this is what took to me" "this made me the person i am, this is what i am" and not trying to understand it by any chance... maybe it helps. big hug

Unbelievable that you studied this, thanks so much. I can totally relate to this as a highly abused woman.

[@Fudge375]

I experienced the freeze response in adult life, and also the tears after shaking and deep sounds and yelling. The feeling brought me right back to the feeling I'd get after crying as a child, it definitely changes something in your body

[@281lancealot]

Assert yourself! Don't be afraid! Let these scum bags know you will not put up with their bull shit disrespect! I went through similar shit but once you start to assert yourself these weak minded bullies will not only back off but will respect and fear your dominant and new confidence!

[@khasha]

I'm rewatching this, because I'm on another cycle of my hero's journey. At about 8:00; the part where you described the parasympathetic response being the "freeze" point. I though it would be the energetic "climax", and more associated with the SNS. Once again, I'm reminded why you excel. You caught it and expanded on your realization in real time. With such fluidity. Thank you for inspiring, again. Be blessed, - K

[@msbrownbutter]

I remember this shit vividly as a child. I forgave in order to release it!! Finally someone to understands and give resources and things to do to empowering the self!! Thank you!!

[@heyyitsRJ]

Thanks Elliott. I'm experiencing the same thing and I'm about the same age as the person who asked this question. Can't wait for your book.

[@Beeftitan]

Elliott I did this. I even went to a therapist to try and get even more help. For i suffer from anxiety and bipolar disorder, or w.e.. He said yelling and letthing things out only makes things worse and the only way to really fix it is to talk it out....

[@AdrikMax]

You identify problems and cure in ways MANY health "professional's" can't. You are an inspiration to future docs bro...Keep on healing

[@vilasalazar9973]

Elliot Hulse should get a medal, or a national award or something recognising the huge amount of good he's done for so many people needing positive guidance and insight.

[@k3n12ock]

This really hit the heart. The was a time in my life where it only consisted of "fun" (drugs, alcohol, partying, etc). During a long drug infused weekend, I had a mental break down and raged at someone who I grew up with and saw as an older brother. It seemed as he were saying stuff about me but to this day I still don't know if it was all in my head or reality". Also during that time period, I lost a lot of close friends (still friends but not even close anymore) and ended up in a state of mind where I lost the confidence I once had. To this day it effects me still. I am not as open, I am very introverted and afraid to go out. I can not just "talk" to people anymore. Even though it's been over a decade, I still have dreams (nightmares?) where I try to right those things and the friends just ignore or "do me wrong" in spite of said situations. I need to just learn to let it go. All my friends seem to have great lives now. Families, nice cars and homes while I'm still single, soul searching. I am going to go home and do as Elliot mentioned. Shit, I felt this "aura?" just listening to Elliot talk about this. I can only imagine what actually doing will feel. /random

[@ponylawntana]

same shit with me

[@chha4947]

oh shit. I just went through the same thing. Weird shit. Drugs are real cool, but when your body starts to say no, be sure to listen.

[@LikeIdol]

Thank you for this. I grew up in a house hold like this and I've held the "demons" in for so long. So many people from the outside looking in assumed everything was okay growing up, when really I was putting on a front. I feel like I have released some tension similar to the tantrums you've demonstrated in this video, I always felt like what happened in my youth has affected me as a young man now. days full of worrying wondering if it will happen again everyday growing up. I'm ready to overcome my demons and never give up on myself. Thank you Elliott.

[@paddlegodsun]

I commend u for your videos Elliot. they always help me. I admire your courage to say what's on ur heart. many of ur ideas n perceptions on life r very similar to mine...only I don't have the balls to share them to the world with such transparency as u do so my hat's off to u man

[@jacobblessing9658]

Elliott I really love the way you share and express things and ideas on here. I'v watched several of your videos over the past half a year or so and have been amazed at the shift in your presentation. I can not help but imagine you expressing your self like this to your children. It seems that you have been able to creatively animate your self while talking about ideas and I wonder how much of this is attributed to your children growing older and teaching them more about the world. Particularly the "freeze" part expressions, almost made me feel like a parent was teaching/expressing something for me. Good stuff, Keep up the good work

[@shravanrulez]

This video is so spot-on that it teared me up.. I'm tired of being so damn stifled and 'held back' against myself, mainly in critical situations where I need to stand my ground. Its time to take control and beat the shit outta my demons. Thank you so much Elliot! :)

[@shamannoodle5503]

[@EvanEvans9]

This video changed my life.

[@kileNoe]

this hits so close to home, Elliot.... my childhood was so fucked. Every single day im going to yell and scream and fuck shit up and cure this trauma

[@TheBrick534]

I've always been someone to try and "think" or "talk" my way out of an issue and while it has worked to some degree I've come to a point in my life where I realize I have a specific issue that is linked to a traumatic experience that happened when I was vulnerable and that I have to physically act it out or do something about it.

[@rednine7851]

This was your best video Elliot. I was in tears watching it as I recognized what you were saying in myself. Going to try that temper tantrum thing when I get home.

[@TiagoSantos-bx3oc]

I'm sure I'm not the only though guy here who cried while revisiting his life as Elliot was speaking, wishing he had this knowledge 10 years ago. This video will help free even more people. Elliot sacred mission is to help free as much people as possible and he is snowballing it hard right now. Thank you Elliot for being the strongest version of yourself. Done.

[@HaiderKhan-xh4cx]

ELLIOTT!!! I cannot thank you enough for merely being yourself! The info you share is very unique and relevant to very particular type of person. I think you probably appeal to many different kinds of people for many different reasons. But putting it simply, you are a KING omg keep uploading! I will likely write in to you in the near future for my particular problem. Thank you again. 👊

[@exo314]

Wow...this story is much like my own, except my dad threatened to shoot us kids in the head each night and then would go make the bullets and show them to us. I was in the middle of every one of my parents fights when my dad would beat her until she was unconscious or bleeding. I worked very hard and with alot of therapy to acquire true confidence and value without external validation. My siblings and mother developed split personality disorders. It has been quite a journey. My parents are still married after 56 years, I am 51 and had a bad fall in June and tore all the tendons and ligaments in my left ankle. I was unable to work and out of money and had to move into my parents home. WOW>. They are crazier and louder and more violent. This has given me an opportunity to heal and work through some very old issues for myself and show myself that I can protect me. This situation has been rife with opportunities to meditate in a war zone. I would love to speak to you Elliott. Blessings to you.

[@arcasahin3047]

@Braulio N'dre bro I feel you I have almost been going through the same as you have but as someone said in the comments we must see that as an opportunity to fight and grow in a war zone and we must embrace it, yes it is going to be tough but isn't it what makes us MAN. In the recent videos of big brother Elliot he says, as a man running after the happiness and pleasures is not our duty, it is just an endless circle that is not gonna add any real value to you at the end of the day, man has to accept and embrace the struggle he is going through and he has to fight with it no matter what kind of big wounds it will mark on you. We must sacrifice and fight to become REAL MAN. If someone told me the things that I have just written here 1 year ago, my ego and coward mind would not like to believe and acknowledge it but now I see things after many times of trying to escape the reality of hard times. This is a man's world and I now understand the value of going through these hard times. I am 24, from Turkey. I just wanted to share my sincere thoughts, I might have used English not in a native would have used but we are in this together and I believe whoever goes through the similar thing as mine will find something from it for themselves and understand me. Done!

[@mossbresnahan3072]

One of Elliot's best in my opinion

[@michaelcolvin4152]

Absolutely ass-kicking and profound video that anyone can apply. I could feel your words like waves, like some primal truth I have always known but couldn't access. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@brandonmorrison1431]

I study psychology as an undergrad, and I always listen to this homie, and analyze to hear his explanations of things; and Elliot is very on point about many of the concepts that he discusses.

You are literally God to me and it's my dream to meet you some day and express my gratitude. You are a great man Elliot and I wish you the best of luck and happiness in your life. - Sep

[@svenk5221]

I was just gonna type you forgot about freeze as many people do. And being depressed, not having the energy to do the dishes, even take a shower etc that some people experience is aways connected to that freeze response. And you are also right that this is caused by trauma. These people need to learn how to become a monster like Dr Peterson discribes it

[@ravenwolfe5825]

This is very helpful for me, with severe Complex PTSD. May I recommend adding something like "understanding trauma and the "freeze" response" to the title. Or maybe doing another video? Thank you so much for the insight. I may not have balls, but I find your videos incredibly helpful. :)

[@PieterSadie]

Elliott, I have been watching your videos for a while now. Thank you so much for sharing the truth. I am learning so much from you. This video is spectacular, and I have to agree, certainly one of your best! Much gratitude. After watching this, I could feel my body releasing a lot of tension.

[@WiqedWhiteGorilla]

Iam an even bigger sadder version than this guy and I feel like elliot gave the advice that ive wished my entire life someone, particularly a father figure of some sort since I had never had one, would have given me. I dont think he said anything I didn't already know myself but the fact that "someone" really understands how you feel enough to give such insite and that he cares enough to do so released alot inside me. I broke down crying when I first watched this ealier the moment I realized that well "there it is" and that its not going to be my father or some magic man in my own life that's going to be the one to direct this personally at myself. Its very sad but very empowering at the same time

[@johnmares8527]

I've been the same when I was 18. Same childhood when I was wishing for my familly problems: "I just wish this to come to an end and everything be all right." The problem is that he has got no refferences in life which are important when he grows up. And now he need to recover them (these beliefs) and comes very hard, and takes huge effort to change. This is what I did... I'm 24 now and used the bad things as a leverage to change. KZbin has lots of answers and the good books as well. He needs to go fast and will become stronger, because he had deeper experiences than others. If he is not going to solve this, they will destroy his future very very easy.

Brutal video as always. I feel motivated to go to the library and grab some psycology books and read them all.

[@Start4am]

I just want to say thank you for making this video. I went through some similar experiences when I was about that same age and this video really opened my eyes and showed me what needed to be done. You're an excellent role model. Thank you again.
