For example, children who are blind/low vision may have fewer facial expressions because these are learned by viewing other people's expressions. I know this since my mother and uncle were fully blind, and I was legally blind until I had cataract surgery. I actually remind myself to smile since I heard about this and realized that the reason I don't do this is not just due to depression.

You are so talented - your are a wealth of knowledge and you articulate things so well and you do that with care and heart. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent and goodness. I look forward to your videos as they not only help me but your positive and caring attitude uplifts me. Thank you.

Dear Doc Snipes, let me thank you from all my heart, Glod bless you for your really informative and positive videos! I am not an expert on this field and your structured and very eloquent explanations help me understand these rather complicated issues in a foreign language better than the books in my mother tounge. Let me ask you sg. that is related I guess and is about my man: his mother love him very much emotionally but she was not a good caregiver as she could not stand housework well, changing diapers was exhausting for her. Now he has digestion problems. Finally, he was taken to the grandparents and he remembers feeling abandoned and missing his parents at the age of about 2 years (!). He always controls his environment, has a lot of staff, carries a huge bag around and tends to loose his keys, his glasses on a regular base, accusing other people (incl. me) to pack away HIS staff. He calls himself chronically suspicious but has a good sense of irony, making jokes about his own ill behaviour. On the other hand, he loves personal freedom, is really sporty and happy but extremely bad at expressing feelings verbally. He is an introverted guy, very sensible, can be very emotional but only after his ice got melt. Is there a connection between his annoying non-expression of emotions and his childhood memories?

[@philu4621]

Many of these videos have helped me take down the denial defense mechanism and realize just how under nurtured I was and how wired I've been mentally and emotionally from trying to compensate for that lack of nurture...

[@DocSnipes]

Thanks for watching.

I've been waiting for this one. Thank you

Welcome

Please do an episode dealing with how sensory disabilities can be misdiagnosed if counselor isn't aware of them because maybe parents don't realize them either.

[@kathalinehansen7078]

If a child has a undiagnosed physical disabilities, such as low vision/blindness or deafness, can be misunderstood as unattached because of lack of response to sensory imput.

Thank you

Your video on the HPA Axis was really helpful in completing a recent school assignment. I referenced the article you wrote in 2019 several times. Have you written about RAD as well, or are there any articles you would recommend?

[@Th0ughtZ_]

Dr Snipes, what are your thoughts on hypnotherapy/hypnosis?

[@tmking7483]

With my stays in the hospital _ whenever monster mommy would come to visit_ i would pretend to be asleep so i wouldnt have to be with her.

[@DocSnipes]

I am sorry about that and I appreciate you watching the video

[@glennjohn3824]

It's disturbing to be an adult with childhood trauma that was never corrected or even approached with the intent to heal it.

[@DocSnipes]

See my other comment I wrote for you. Thanks for watching.

[@tmking7483]

I just wanted someone to talk me in my family _ i didnt exist _ unless it was to fix my broken bones or the poisons that i somehow swallowed _in the hospital they would talk to me.with everything we learn we need practice _ its not cognition its practice. My mom said to my sister when she was 4 _ can you say bird. Really she was 4 _ she said ' bird' to my mom. We knew language but we were not allowed to talk _ so we got no p ractice._ unless we could get away from her.

[@DocSnipes]

That’s awful and I am sorry it happened to you

[@glennjohn3824]

Seems like being an orphan and adopted by strangers who failed to bond are doomed to lifelong emotional issues... in my experience there's no help for this in the real world. It's not realistic to expect people to travel so far for some help with these things nor is it reasonable to expect that all therapists and counselors are qualified to help overcome these issues.

[@DocSnipes]

Failing to bond certainly will likely lead to significant emotional and physical issues. We know this from the ACEs study (ACEsTooHigh) However therapy focusing on prior trauma and current attachment issues has been shown to be quite effective. It is true "all" therapists and counselors are not trained to deal with these issues which is why it is important to screen prospective providers---just like you wouldn't go to a general practitioner for open heart surgery. With the explosion of e-therapy options, it is likely that there is a therapist that specializes in attachment issues in most areas of the country.
