October 7, 2020 at 1:10 am I will have travelled 24 years since my last drink.......i was a bad alcoholic years ago........im very grateful for my sobriety.

[@imaknotafrayed8136]

There is a hope for those who suffered and that’s the most important point of that lecture. Life can be fixed, turned around. Thank you for work you’ve done.

[@justnothing7080]

Turning around is just a way of accepting to continue living even without your works, your wants, your wishes being satisfied. Sadly speaking, it's really hard to accept the truth that you permanently lose something really important to you but you still pretend to be happy and continue to live.

[@annahadden2311]

[@shrabonibabu]

It is such a pleasure to know that people like you really exist. I suffered from severe depression in last 20 years and on prolonged medication, and for last ten years practicing meditation. Only for last one year I could stop all my medication as I made absolutely sure of meditating for an hour every morning. It was absolutely enlightening to listen from such a passionate practitioner explaining the power and science of meditation. Salute.

Huge thank you to Dr. David Hendricks for this share and I hope millions of lives will be forever changed. I've always believed that those who experienced adversities are the best to share their experiences and influenced change because of what they've gone through and how they've risen above their adversities. I've been blessed with what I would say minor adversities in my life and I've chosen to help influenced young kids because they have so much to offer to themselves and others. To everyone of us who comes across this incredibly wonderful talk, let's share.

[@bethharbaugh2140]

Beautiful! I have studied this extensively and I so appreciate your complete and educational presentation

[@CrybKeeper]

You're correct David! ACE: I have all eight, before the age 14. I suffered for years after, with all the negative results, until I went to college and took two years of psychology, while also embracing faith and spirituality. Such as your experience, I rewired my own brain. I found compassion - I cry for others, but never for myself. As you might see, I am very self oriented and wanted to talk about me. However, I felt it was important to tell my story, which is similar to yours. Married 30 years, my wife had the same experience in her life. We have two mentally healthy children - We were very careful to keep traumatic events from our children, but when the time was right, we educated them on many things. We prepared them.

[@romanr7948]

What kind of things did you prepare them for? And what is the right time?

[@CrybKeeper]

@Roman R: The right time is called, "The Age of Reasoning" - When a child can not only, tell right from wrong, but can also understand the "why",... it is right or wrong and appreciate consequences of their actions. it can be complex and guidance for parents may be required.

[@adriangganja2639]

@@romanr7948 right and wrong is subjective based on your social and cultural upbringing, it's really a combination of the collective experience of your immediate surroundings, how does one determine the age of reasoning out of curiosity, cuz that brain is adoptable that's why you get kids that a super geniuses perform high functionaly through society but if you flip the coin of super genius and transfer that same child in an environment where " parents or cares" are presenting a veiw of the world that's not functionally realistic when the child then moves to open world where there are no set rules that I think innately creates trauma in children, let me know you thoughts this could be gold or bin material 🤠

[@romanr7948]

@@adriangganja2639, I haven't encountered "an open world where there are no set rules".

[@JustASmallTownGirl85]

8 out of 8 for myself also at too young of an age. It is so sad how many of us grew up in agony..never knowing we were never truly alone in our pain. Someone somewhere was being treated the same or worse. Breaking the cycle for your children is incredibly brave and will effect the dynamice of your family line for generations to come. Sending love❤

I totally agree with this talk! I used to have issues with thinking everyone was thinking negatively towards me or mad at me but I’m getting better towards thinking this way. I still have a lot of anger towards my family but just like he said in this talk I have to rewire my brain and instead of getting angry all the time and thinking negatively about them, I need to get out of the situation and start thinking positively about them. Then I will try to rewire my brain. Also meditation helps a lot! Thank you TED for releasing this and all helpful videos!

The last part of Dr Hendricks presentation has me thinking of taking a cry day, which i find quite helpful when things are out of my control around me. This amazed me how thorough his explanations are of brain and mind wiring. It is also shocking I've managed to do some intense mental and emotional strategies while learning ways to implement trauma reversal therapy treatment on myself. I have to admit there is nothing more extroadornary to experience the epidemic changes in your mind and body. What i do not recommend is ever attempting this on your own without any ability of self discipline or internal compassing i suppose i could say. I am listening to this a few more times as Dr Hendricks has a way of words. I of course am having to revise my speach again but only by a few words instead of whole paragraphs. Gained academia and education to help me more.

[@markdemell8056]

Meditation is good of course , it is a part of the healing process .I am usually good after a short 10-15 minute meditation.I need stimulation to satiate my brain, to keep him oiled and functioning. I also talk to GOD daily just like I would talk to a person but of course with reverence, through Yeshua . I trust the wisdom of the BIBLE , The wisdom of GOD. I just love the Proverbs. So be it!

[@J8sonJ]

I think of what Paul said about physical exercise, "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." I have used meditation and found some benefit in it. But, my life, heart, and brain were transformed by the love of Christ.

[@MsHumble4]

Keep going that way... and the very best time to do it is: at about 3 to 4 am. Some will tell you that the spirit hour any time after midnight. I ended up having a Spiritual experience that changed my life for the better. And at that time, I would just pray as learnt in my religion. But that night, I decided to go straight to God with my own words... and it all began to happen. After that, I learnt TM and I managed to Transcend...and I have experienced a place I can not describe. I also began to stop feeling my arms and I was told not to do it anymore, but someone told me more recently that it actually is a good thing... Not sure, but I have been tempted to do TM again.

what a breath of fresh air that presentation was. I would have appreciated a description of their intervention. He explained well the methodology\approach but not exactly how the intervention is carried out.

[@deanmindock3680]

Basically, it is to meditate. After a few weeks of daily meditation, observe your thoughts, especially your reactions to experiences. Accentuate the positive reactions and attenuate the negative ones (Uncle Remus). Never discontinue daily meditation practice. There are several types(methods) of meditation. Mantra Yoga is based on a running a series of sounds thru the mind and is easy to learn. Pranayama is used to prepare the mind for the meditation session. Zen is another method but harder to master but I think it is what Buddhists use. Meditation can make life enjoyable beyond words.

As one who has suffered for the effects of major childhood trauma and whom has an intermediate background in the field of Psychology, I just want to say IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME SOMEONE SAID PUBLICLY THAT THIS SHIT WORKS!!! (I know it's been known for awhile among scholars but it's still hardly the mainstream theory/treatment method). I've been trying to explain this theory I've had to the medical persons who have treated me for addiction, but many simply refer me to AA or NA with NO mention of seeking mental health treatment for my trauma. This was an amazing video, Dr. Hendricks I commend you and admire your intellect and the transformation you have gone through. Furthermore I want to thank you for doing what I've wanted to do for so long: educating people on the nature of trauma, it's correlation with addiction to chemicals and other negative vices, and attempting to convince others of a better treatment method than I've received in the over 20 institutions I've been in. I truly believe that a massive amount of pain and suffering is caused due to childhood trauma, not just for the victim, but for everyone who interacts with him or her until they heal; because what most people don't know is that just because it happened so long ago, doesn't mean the victim is over it. The victims will often cause pain to others, commit crimes, etc. not because they are bad, but because they were conditioned in a manner that leaves them in a constant state of fear, pain, sadness, anger, or otherwise. Anyways thanks. Peace!

It is amazing though how strong and flexible a person can become when they use meditation instead of medication to heal their childhood wounds! After a tremendously painful childhood, I became very grateful to have experienced the huge wisdom builder of childhood abuse by a parent and an uncle! If I hadn't gone through that and survived, I never would have been strong enough to get through the experience of one of my son's assisted suicide. It's really true that "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger!"

[@johnmariano47]

Thanks. If you feel meditation is not working out for you, you may be quitting so soon. Just try to sit still each day especially when you are tired or has something on your mind. Have faith which means let whatever may come in these sessions come in. Meditation creates a bridge from your mind to your subconscious mind. You’ll know it when meditation is starting to affect your old habits and emotions.

I had never put thought or consideration for meditation at any point once until i adopted it recently in my self seeking journey. Listening to the academic interpretation of this brings an extreme sense of understanding to exactly what I have been meaning to know. Mindful meditation has been a thrilling experience such that I may not need to seek alcohol or any other form of substance to help as a coping mechanism. It is better to spend some good blissful time in the present moment in my own head than outside distractions. Thank you for this timely insight. Getting that safe spot while meditating takes a while and has been a struggle. Time takes time too I will get there eventually.
