“Trauma is not what happens to us, it’s what we hold inside in the absence of the empathetic, connected other.” 18:00 min

[@charliebrannigan1275]

Thanks for wonderful interview. In it Peter Levine says, “ Trauma is not just what happened to us but it’s what we hold inside in the absence of the empathetic present connected other.” A perfect definition. The Beatles sang All You Need Is Love. I think they’re in harmony with his wise words.

[@FaithFashionFinances]

Dr. Levine is a Phenomenal Teacher, I really enjoy learning from his teachings

[@jaymoraski]

We all know what trauma is................. Being aware of feelings and sensations is one thing, but finding safely and building resiliency is not always easy. The freeze response ss very real. Recognize, label thoughts, allow thoughts................ rarely find safely and window or tolerance with on going triggers.

"Trauma isn't just what happened to us, but it's what we hold inside in the absence of the empathetic present connected other." So true.

[@claritacooke-xy1qt]

This has been a profound listening experience for me. I rarely shed any tears but the story about the man and the shaman who didn’t charge and how that evolved really had an impact. We are the same.

I am 50 and only now do I realise why I froze when someone tried to sexually molest me when I was 19…for years I was angry at myself because I did not react to prevent this from happening but since this was a tiny trauma in a long series of other Traumas I had not paid much attention to this experience…until I listened to Dr Levine and Dr Mate talk about the freezing…

[@luxxnn]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Its an amazing Ressource to have!

[@annushkaoniani15]

This was fantastic. Thank you for this interview. Just got introduced to Dr. Levin’s work.. Am ordering pretty much everything he wrote from Amazon. Totally fascinating!!

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."

30:25 thats a popular knock in Argentina. i heard it from 'Carlitos Balá'.

[@RiaandBobby]

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?

[@Britdv]

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💕🙏😇🦋

[@senseiwackadoodle9402]

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. ❤

[@NatashaMalachowski]

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 ✨️

Try Tara Brach’s RAIN meditation

[@daisyduke5979]

All these trauma experts are very good at describing what trauma is but none of them is really able to offer a way out without spending a fortune

[@rahuldwivedi9278]

Try Vipassana meditation

[@rahuldwivedi9278]

It's free and non sectarian

[@Gypsywandering400]

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 🙏💕😇

[@daisyduke5979]

@@Britdv I hear you and send you a lot of love. Self compassion is the key.

I'm trying so hard to accept that I have trauma, I'm struggling to feel it, the problem is from birth to my 40s trauma, like what my psychologist calls severe traumatic events, that lasted for long periods of time, I have strange symptoms of trauma that has me wanting to yell nooo, you don't understand what I'm saying 🙄😒😵‍💫 my no.1 thing is, since the age of 9, which is my earliest memory of this being unusual, was not believing hate or disliking someone or staying angry at someone, was a real thing, it confused me, and made me vocally angry about how very stupid it was. My father beat my mum violently for I'm guessing the, first 2 years of my life, then took off after beating my 18 month old brother and putting him in hospital. I was very protect over my brother but I never really thought about my father. It was at 10 years old our combined trauma started, then again at 13 then again at 17 then again 18, then again at 23 then again at 25, then around 29 my Dr said I'd had a nervous breakdown because I couldn't get out of bed for 6 weeks, then I got better after 2 years of medication the by 31 it was a lot of high anxiety, by almost 36 again different trauma, by 38 shut in trauma, (body dysmorphia symptoms) but in that time I never felt hate assigned blame to me or anyone else, the only reason I'm even typing this (now at 52) is because I have just been tested by neuropsychologist around 4 or 5 weeks ago now, she came to my house with my coordinator of supports to talk to me about what she was going to write in my report and my results, and cptsd was a very large part, I knew I had adhd and had already discussed being, well my psychologist thinks high functioning autism, the neuropsychologist said divergent, all of these things fit then none of them. I am so confused 😑😒😒 I never learnt hate or grudges or cruelty any of it, I'm trying to find ways of am of discovering if I'm suppressing anything, but I'm not, I'm not, I don't feel like I was ever capable, nothing special happened at 9 other than finding out one kid really didn't like another for real, she meant it, they were friends then she didn't like her and it wasn't changing, it shook my world up, I didn't understand it, after that I lectured other kids any chance I got, on fighting and the stupidity of being mean of actually not liking other kids for good reason. It was that moment that changed everything because I was shocked by the bizarre thinking of it, and at 52 I still am 😮‍💨🤷‍♀️ I don't think I'll ever get the answers I am looking for 🙂 it just seemed like a place to share 💞.

[@laurasbrain4344]

Why do you share this here

[@a..r.9341]

I am sorry, you had to go through such a lot of trauma 💞.

[@noremac4807]
