FACTS

[@bereal6590]

Watching this I see how narcissistic parents make for very anxious children. Not only don't they protect or school their children in how to be okay with difficult situations; they actively engender anxiety in them by blaming shaming gaslighting and scapegoating. Great video and great take aways from both doctors 🙋🙏

[@yowazzapyep2543]

All my siblings are very anxious including me

[@carloferretti8956]

[@amytaber8218]

Anyone else find that searching on your own for reasonings behind your behavior more helpful than counseling. This is the first I have heard about your allostict state, which makes sense for me right now. Thank you for sharing!

[@yu12si7]

You confirmed so many things that I knew were right but was smirked at by medical professionals. Incredibly Helpful.

[@jamistardust5181]

Being the center of attention in relation to stress has to do with control. As a child I was bullied and teased, forced to be the center of attention. I have anxiety, and AVPD, So I'm uncomfortable in many situations. I am also a musician, and I have the ability to perform in public. At first this appears to conflict with my previous statement, but they are actually different types of experience. This is because as the performer, I am in control of the situation. I'm confident that I'm a good musician who is practiced up. This affects the stress levels, in one situation I'm not in control, the other I am.

[@conversationswithcarina4330]

Maybe it's just me, but Dr. Huberman's voice is a stress reliever. I just want to make a pot roast with all the sides and dessert just to have him over for dinner and listen to him talk about all the topics. 😄 instead, I just play his podcasts while I work..

[@user-yp5pw9nc6w]

I was literally just wondering the other day: "What is this peculiar double breath I'm taking involuntarily, that makes me feel so calm and peaceful?" That is amazing! Perhaps I can do it purposefully? I thought it was a desperate inhale for air as I suffocated under anxiety. Either way, I could finally breathe. And it gave me such relief!

[@rebeccarashid9314]

Andrew Huberman is a genius of communication. He prides himself on being articulate. Wow!

I am so sorry that Dr. Lamb got such little air time during this episode. She is brilliant in the way she thinks about this topic and does an amazing job of offering practical solutions.

Yes. 2sec inhale - 4sec exhale : slow down blood circulation. 4sec inhale - 2sec exhale : speed up blood circulation. You can increase the 4sec to 6sec if you want. Very very good way to temporary control our body. Can be used at anywhere, anytime.

[@suziqquzi2527]

I’ve always wondered the difference between grit (toughing it out), flexibility, (allowing stresses to blow around you without taking it into yourself. Resilience to me means holding relatively steady even when the boat is rocking, because processing events that make us momentarily lose our place (in our mind, emotions, physical body status are processed as quickly as possible to that current moment.

I just listened to a lecture about Trauma by a psychiatrist in Europe..... he mentioned that in studies regarding PTSD... some factors have been identified that play a role in wherethere or not people get PTSD (study on soldiers, so thousands of people undergoing similar traumatic experiences).... they are social based factors: behavior of surrounding people to the traumatized person, being in a hostile environment after trauma, number of non-formal social contacts).....

[@hectordavidmarinrodas709]

When I finally watched this movie, I sobbed, literally, alone in my room after I'd just gone into exile leaving my husband and son back home in Colombia. From its depiction of an unending violence that has been present from the very establishment of its independence, to my father's assassination and most of my family's having fled the country during the various stages of the violence. In all of that, there is the terrible trauma of the narcissism that is so pervasive in Colombian culture. The absence of father figures in Colombia forced our nation to have a sudden shift in which women had to become heads of family, establishing unrealistic expectations of invulnerability for the men, so as to not abandon the family, and for women, to be everything for their families. That mixed with the colonial narcissism left over by the Spanish aristocratic system, and a corrupt nepotistic society, where my family name, combined with my physical appearance, my economic situation (we actually categorize people by placement into our six social strata), and my region of origin determines my life, my possibilities of love, as well as what I can and can't devote myself to. Seeing this play out on my TV, recognizing the trauma I'd received and the trauma I'd caused on my son, as well as the gripping fear that the family lived in, just overwhelmed me.

[@chickenbiscuit4525]

Great run down of the dynamics that can be in play but in essence of it there are so many ironies. The main thing is, somehow by miracle of chance 'the narcissts' target or partner has tolerated the conditions in issues of the behaviors for so long they need a chance to grant themselves some ease. Ask anyone who has been through these workings and they will kindly inform you that discard or separation as we know it is only a new progressing phase for the relationship. That being the narcissist rarely ever comes to the table factually and that bygones are never bygones which in truth stretches to the fullest extent of all those involved in such futile or seemingly unnecessary entanglements and ways for being. It's a soul test! There sanity appears profusely and regularly breached and from it your own integrity of character will be morphed to the strangest extents of what can be personally and emotionally humanly be comprehended as the final or furthest limits. That's que to refrain.

Whoa. This explains everything. Allostatic loading.

[@yvonnequinones3972]

When my youngest child graduated from high school in 2020, and left home, I went into the Empty Nest syndrome, although it is not a real syndrome, it caused me stress and depression. For the first time in 26 years, I didn't have a child in my home anymore to care for, look after...I started to tailspin, picked up the bottle and it only made it worse, also during the pandemic, so I was working from home. It is a blessing I am very proud of my young adult children. They are respectful, kind, productive people, and it brings me pride and joy. However, now two years into this, I realize that it is no longer Empty Nest, it is anxiety, stress, trauma, with a history of Alcohol Abuse Disorder stage 2. My sponsor says I am full of BS and this disease is going to kill me, that I am hopeless. I am not dependent, but when I do drink, my stress and anxiety the next few days are awful. Thank you, so glad I clicked on your video! Already feeling like taking a walk and calling my mom.

[@journeylvr]

I think you should get a new sponsor. Telling someone that they are “ hopeless “ seems to go against the benefit of having a sponsor. I’m sure you’ve told yourself that you are “ hopeless “ during tough times. NO ONE should be told that they are “ hopeless, EVER!!

[@crystalcollis178]

Should you do the two inhales and exhale be done standing or can you be sitting or laying down?

Well i thought I'm resilient enough but then remember how i chickened out on stage at school singing competition, my voice won't come out, i did tried again later for the next few years but the result was the same and up till now ,it worsen , I can't even talk normally in normal conditions , I'd go mute and things become awkward

[@h.newton8982]

If you don't get the opportunity to build resilience, then you end up developing resistance.

If our homeostatic baseline can rise after prolonged stress states can it also decrease with meditation or regular de-stressing? Or would it make the stress response more apparent/worse?

[@Shortkonner]

No no no, the more meditation and calming you do, the stress starts to go away. Your Outlook will change and things will be more able to handle.

[@EmpressRetard]

Kyle, could you please bring people on the show to talk about different medication metabolizing disorders, what causes them, how they went about remedying the issue?? Please?? For instance, I have some sort of issue with metabolizing medication, I don't know why, or when it started. (I also know this is not tolerance increase, as I am only on subutex and have not taken any other medications long enough consecutively to develop such inhuman tolerance) could take nearly an entire prescription of valium and it would not do anything to me. However, if I take a certain amount, it will either do nothing, or it'll ONLY give me the negative effects and make me black out. I know that this can make me come off as a drug seeker, but that's not why this is so important to me, nor do I even care if people see it that way at this point. It causes me so much unimaginable grief that I can't attain any cure for my mental illness. It's something I have been struggling with my entire life and I am just so tired. I'm trying to find the source of the issue, but there is surprisingly very very few sources regarding this, let alone anyone who has spoken of their experience with it. There is a chance that I am an ultra-rapid metabolizer, which means I basically metabolize medication too quickly for it to hit my bloodstream, but due to other factors with me specifically, I'm not so sure that's the case. I don't want to come across as virtue signaling, but I just want to highlight why this is such a grueling issue for me. I have extreme anxiety, depression, and PTSD. My heart feels like it's either sinking or exploding every single day, I have no motivation, I can no longer work, and I am agoraphobic. It's hard for me to interact with anyone, even though I was an extremely outgoing kid. I think a lot of my symptoms really took off after I got lyme disease the summer before highschool, I don't think I was ever the same since. However, I am certain of certain events in my life that have contributed to the anxiety, such as being in an accident, a decade of extreme narcissistic abuse, and physical violence. I can recognize and come to terms with those issues, however, something is causing me to naturally have a panic response all the time, seemingly without reason, and I feel in my soul that it can only be remedied (at least much of the time) with the right medication. I hope to get to an attainable place with minimal medication in the future, but I know that my quality of life would dramatically improve if I were able to get some relief. If you know anyone in the field of pharmacogenetics, could you please ask them for some insight on this matter? If anyone reading this knows anything at all about this, please do respond. The strange thing is, I have tried a lot of substances in the past, and many of them had indeed effected me in some way, yet I always did have some level of high tolerance. The strange part is that it was possible for me to gain some sort of affect from it, even if it took a larger amount than others who had already developed tolerance. I would love to hear this talked about, as people like me must feel insanely alone and frustrated, knowing that there is very little hope for relief, no alternative methods that have helped them, and nobody whom they can discuss it with. It can truly bring your mind to terrible places.

Our minds are our instruments Learn to be it’s master NOT It’s slave🥰 Dr Claire Weekes was a pioneer in her day on nervous illness now called anxiety Her books helped me understand completely what anxiety is & what it does to the human body & why. Once I understood it my fear of anxiety was gone as I now knew how & what & why i was having the symptoms that frightened me when I 1st experienced anxiety, so once the fear had gone when anxiety came again I was forearmed which helped alleviate the 1st part so many have which was the fear, apprehension that came as soon as anxiety symptoms started, so found in my personal experience allowed me to deal calmly with my anxiety disorder faster as I had now taken the overcome the main symptom which is fear that was a massive step in regulating the other symptoms that anxiety brings, panic, racing thoughts, dread, sweating, lightheadedness etc as I now had the knowledge & understanding of how anxiety worked☺️ Knowledge is power Take back your power by understanding how something works so you can be the one in power Not the anxiety in power. If this helps 1 person that would make my day because I like millions was so confused as to what was happening to when I’d been unaware how stressed I was in life, anxiety then came as a message to tell me I needed to be more aware of when we get too much stress, overload, overwhelm in our lives anxiety will be the result So stay vigilant & learn to listen to your body & mind check in how you’re feeling so you can know when you need to be de-stressing & prevent anxiety having to tell you 🫶 You got this 🥰

[@kryptonarie6367]

I wish you'd do a video about "narcolepsy with cataplexy," because today's information is still lacking greatly in how varied narcolepsy symptoms can actually be. Most medical professionals don't realize that there's a lot of things not being mentioned or addressed in the medical literature about this disease, and it's causing the length of time for patients to be correctly diagnosed to be even longer, especially when the average time between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis is already seven plus years. -For example: I have status cataplecticus- a rare manifestation of narcolepsy with cataplexy where the paralysis episodes are recurring and overlapping and last for hours or even days, without a refractory period, in the absence of emotional triggers. I also suffer/experience involuntary muscle spasms. This can cause jerking legs, buckled knees, twitching hands and other forms of muscle contractions, contortions and discomfort. I know there's a lot more people with so called "atypical symptoms" of narcolepsy with cataplexy like myself, because I've talked to too many sufferers who also have more than just the textbook symptoms.
