He's wrong about not remembering. Babies don't have depth perception, the brain hasn't figured out how to work out depth perception from two separate images (eyes). It's why babies constantly shove things in their mouth, it tells them exactly how big something is. The brain automatically deletes those memories as it would be confusing as hell remembering what vision without depth perception looks like.

Bruh, babies are literally no better than animals at first. Of course you don't remember any of that, you didn't even know thinking was a concept!!!! You didn't know breathing, eating, pooping, and overall staring at anything was a "something". There is no trauma because there is no" you" to take in and process this information ffs. The part that makes you "you" comes after all that as the brain begins to develop and retain information. It's the only thing that separates us from animals. The conscious that creates "us". We're just brains floating in a vat operating a meat suit, and when the brain goes, we go with it.

I dont agree with what he said but after experiencing a traumatic event, there is a possibility your brain just kinda forgets it just so you dont have to remember it, for your own sake

Snarky comments like this misinterpreting others are so common on the internet. Jesus. He said it's the most traumatic thing that happens to people in general, not him specifically. *It's just a theory.* He's not saying that nothing bad has ever happened in his life so he has to go back to childbirth to find something. lol. And he might be right. When you're born, water is squeezed out of your poor lungs. Might be painful, at the very least it must be highly unpleasant. It's the first time you have to breathe for yourself, coughing up mucus. You're exposed to the cold for the first time and blinding light (could be like having painful sensory issues as an adult). And all of this is happening at once. Disorienting and likely painful. All things are relative. Something that's seemingly mundane can inspire wonder in children. You can't map an adult's understanding of the world and what it would take to traumatise them to a baby. "You're soft!"

I love Troy but I beg to differ with his point. My best friend has aggressive brain cancer and is staring her mortality in the face at 27 years old. Not only is this likely the most traumatic thing she has dealt with or ever will deal with, the fact that she survived birth means nothing in terms of her ability to overcome this hurdle. Being born is a miraculous thing of course, but theres sadly far more horrible things a human life can go through.

@@STRANGEANATOMYBANDI think the think Troy is referring to here is more the fact that a baby isn’t able to process or understand anything. Whilst a grown person can deal with those issues, we can deal with those traumas, and we absolutely can overcome them and become bigger than the tragedies that define us. His point is that having the confidence of overcoming something that is unimaginably uncomfortable, confusing, and different (birth) is something people should carry with them throughout their lives. That kinda mindset is exactly what saves people who have suffered trauma.

[@user-ed1uc9ht2d]

​@@shahum2248 if it can't process or understand anything then it doesn't even understand what is happening, so how would it be traumatic? He has a nice point but anyone with a brain can see it doesn't make sense and therefore don't take away the positive message here.

You have the luxury of saying that because people just can’t remember the process of being birthed into the world.

[@Peace_And_Love42]

I saw him in Austin. His talk was called "What I've Learned So Far", and he told me "You are enough". At that moment, my marriage was over, I was coming out of an extremely toxic relationship (both she and I had a lot of learning to do) and trying to figure out how to be single after being told that my only job (according to God, said my parents) was to be a good husband and father. His encouragement helped me start learning to love myself. I'm extremely grateful for his belief that we're all lovable, loving and Loved.

Interestingly enough, human birth is one of the most dangerous birthing processes in the animal kingdom. Most animals can do it all by themselves but humans are at significantly higher risk if they do it alone and even still when we have midwives, nurses and doctors, birthing complications and even death for both the mother and the newborn can still happen. So that part is true

[@jenicdarling9425]

And disturbingly back then until as recently as the 1980s they use to operate on babies without giving them anesthesia or any sort of pain medication. They thought babies couldn’t feel pain thinking their nervous systems were undeveloped & therefore couldn’t feel pain. So for years, even as life-saving surgeries became more invasive, longer & more intense, the majority of newborns still underwent them without anesthetic or anything for the pain. Often, babies were given nothing more than just a muscle relaxant to keep them from thrashing around during the operation but were still able to feel everything “The belief was the result of years of inadequate studies, many of which suffered from the fact that clinicians struggled to understand the differences in pain responses between fetuses and adults & this misunderstanding carried over to newborns. This was compounded by the fact that studies in the 1940s had incorrectly stated that babies lacked the capability to feel pain after they seemed to be unresponsive to pinpricks. This was later explained by a failure to correctly interpret infant body language. But that wasn't the only reason painkillers were withheld from babies. Physicians also had concerns about the safety of such medical interventions, fearing that giving strong anesthetics to infants may kill them, especially those that were seriously ill. Though many hospitals had begun administering anesthesia to infants on the operating table as early as the 1970s, surveys of medical professionals conducted as recently as 1986 indicated that infants younger than 15 months were still receiving no pain relief during surgery in many hospitals across the U.S It was in 1987 that the tide against this practice began to change and the medical profession started to listen to mothers who insisted their infants could indeed feel pain. In that year, a study concerning the testing of fentanyl on infants undergoing surgery showed that the opioid, which is similar to morphine, reduced the stress response in babies undergoing surgery. It was also in 1987 that the American Academy of Pediatrics formally declared that it was unethical to continue to operate on infants without the use of anesthetics. The statement was jointly approved by the American Society of Anesthesiologists claiming there was "an increasing body of evidence" that newborns demonstrated negative responses to surgery that could be relieved by painkillers.”

The hippocampus is not fully formed, meaning memory of the trauma is basically non existent. He's wrong because it is biologically impossible to remember that.
