Psychological Trauma and the Soul with Karen Herrick

[@krisscanlon4051]

I'm always on the path...im AA/ACA and big Jung follower. We resist what we persist...we are all abandoned children looking to self actualize. Amen.

[@sisterseeth]

I had an extremely violent and sexually sadistic childhood on behalf of my father and babysitter, respectively, and it made me incredibly intuitive. I knew when my dad was coming down my road. I knew when my babysitter was waking up even when she was at her house and I was at mine. I could walk up to a total stranger and know what they had for breakfast. This correlation is very real between childhood trauma and psychic ability . As I've gotten older, taken some hallucinogens, healed, purged the trauma...my intuition is dulling. I know when I'm being lied to, when situations could become dangerous, and the general mood of people upon immediate contact, but my days of knowing how many children a complete stranger has and which one hates them, are over. It's a good thing and a sign of healing that I'm losing this defense mechanism, but I can't help but to be sad to see it waning...I'm having to learn new skills to replace it now in my late 30's because I'd used the intuitive abilities as my sword and shield for my entire life. Also, I've had 2 near death experiences, so that part is also true. It's great to see this being discussed.

I resonate with this very much.

Another wonderful, thoughtful, healing interview with a great guest; thanks for all the soul wisdom you bring to light.

[@LaurenDelsackAstrologer]

This is a fantastic interview. Thank you Karen. Blessings

[@mortalclown3812]

She's just beautiful. Wishing more therapists were as open as Karen and Jeffrey, too. We are, as Ram Dass said, just walking each other home. Blessings to all who needed this video like I did. 💜📿🙏 PS Interesting chiron disclaimer about speculation based upon her work. Isn't that rather true of all of your guests? 🙋‍♀️

[@kymchessall7853]

Great Interview, I really enjoyed Karen . Her experiences are so similar to my own

[@Mr.UniverseVlogs]

I was just looking for a solution for the psychological trauma and jeff posts a talk on it

[@danlmc]

All the interviews by Jeffery are excellent. Sparkly gold light to the right under the shelf above the book Millennium. Interesting digital artifact?

[@nishasankaran]

Havent listened to nta in a while...and this is the 1st video that i actually watched to the end recently. I have addiction history and a spiritual bent, born in the US to Indian Hindu parents . Though it would be nice to hear from spiritual addiction therapists from different backgrounds...this was great and validating. Thanks for your work Karen!

[@manubhadoria24]

Hindu view of life and these NTA talks wrap around each other like curling vines of grapes wrap around trees in tight embrace. We get into drugs to find new and more intense experiences. To get out of those addiction habits or samskaras (as called in Yoga), we need to find superlative experiences within ourselves. Deep meditation does that. All experiences are within us and we are like the factory managers that can manufacture any experience we want inside us using various techniques.

[@ron_amok369]

Thank you both.

[@amandayorke481]

Makes so much sense what you say about dissociated states. Happened to me originally when young & unhappy too.

[@fallofmanbrand]

amazing content you deserve more views

[@RafaMartinelli]

Great chat! Thanks for sharing!

[@seratonyn]

Honestly the way that she handled the priest and his situation with telekinesis is exactly how Jung handled much of the situations he faced in his practice.

[@michaeltymn2370]

Clearly, Karen Herrick is not your garden-variety therapist. She has experience to go with her education in the field. She is able to meld Pragmatism with Idealism.

[@ntatemohlomi2884]

My preferred kind.

[@buddleiabee]

I was going to buy Porges book but heard the same. Which is interesting from someone with a PHD, makes me feel better about myself. What a lovely lady. Her book is £28 on amazon though so cheaper on kindle. 30:17 sound like Kundalini too.

[@karenkurdijinian2069]

Thank you very much . I think to heal the body is help the system ,the psyche energy all together not one aspect 🙏🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@fallofmanbrand]

great video keep it up

[@deliaandronache954]

Wonderful interview!

[@annahaegeman8418]

Very intersting, thank you !

[@caseymay5449]

Awesome

[@karenkurdijinian2069]

All this experiences humanity are in it’s not about religion or ...., It’s a serious science of energy and who we are as an electrical object and our function and how to get information which is around us 🙏🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@_PL_]

Her response to a client’s skepticism regarding an accurate reading by a medium - “’well, she must look me up on Google’…I don’t think so; I don’t think she has time to do that” - is weak to say the least. While I do think there are some authentically gifted mediums and psychics, I also think that the majority are not particularly gifted (this is from both personal experience and research). This isn’t to say that _all_ of the non-authentic practitioners are deliberately deceiving the people who go to them; I suspect that many of them mean well and believe that they have the gift, while others (often the more well known) might actually be charlatans. For a taste of someone who I think was genuinely talented as a psychic, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6W4i3merMqmhsk Be sure to read my description below the video for some background and context. It’s where I explain some of the methods people use to simulate psychic functioning, as well as why I don’t think the psychic in the video is using any of those methods.

[@_PL_]

@@lesliegann2737 Thanks for your feedback, Leslie. I’ve had similar experiences with psychics projecting their beliefs onto me (including the “traumatic past lives” story), though fortunately for my mental health I didn’t take it too seriously. It seems that many (not all) who get really into new age pursuits tend to be low on critical thinking skills and high on wish fulfillment beliefs. That high discernment you mentioned is your greatest ally.

[@lesliegann2737]

@@_PL_ Thanks for your reply. It is great to hear verification of you having a similar experience with the "traumatic past lives” story. I've also noticed how these mediums have little critical thinking and how they don't seem to be interested in learning about psychology.

[@poirierjane]

she said she had been given "medication" when she was first learning the chakra.... maybe she was tripping instead of "channelling."

[@laurirogers5046]

Jane Poirier I think she said meditation

[@amandayorke481]

Re out of body experience: it's true. You think you want to be back, & you are.

[@karenkurdijinian2069]

Everything how we feel and see and experience the world or the life or this illusion .whatever is built is A State of Mind using this biological objects ability . We must be upgraded to use ourselves .All is Energy which is the property in the universe ,To convert that into Word - Thought which is the final creation of the Energy that we could recognize and decode , translate which influence our biological 💋🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@karenkurdijinian2069]

This body can be put it’s original right system memory only with programming the mind . Contact and non contact massage and the food information . 🙏🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Sunday morning drunks were probably playing cards @ the valatie inn... it is a small world... amazing... false memory syndrome is a reality... whats a suggestion?

[@thomasdunham5427]

still think ww2 caused alot of sickness. awareness through adversity,syncranisity worked for me from books /information that would just come to me...

[@wowsus1]

Very interesting though i disagree when she says we are here to suffer. I believe we are here to be happy, but that involves healing ourselves of suffering. If you believe we are here to suffer you will surely create a lot of suffering.

[@stuartwray6175]

19:25 - "We're here to make our own happiness, yes"...."your supposed to grow"

[@wowsus1]

@@stuartwray6175 Yea that seems to conflict a bit with saying we are here to suffer, but I'm not her so i can't know exactly where she's coming from.

[@carbon1479]

I'd call living to play Darwinian fitness games something that's well within the realm of suffering. Thinking of what Bret Weinstein said at Future Salon a few years ago - we know our (terrestrial) purpose and it's the same as spruce and squid, with the intelligence we have it's a waste - we need to figure out a better purpose (than simply making copies of ourselves).

[@seratonyn]

"Instead of thinking about math class they're thinking about the beach" .... is that what a near death experience is? Do they randomly occur during math class?

[@seratonyn]

I'm curious if there is a level of biochemical experience that occurs during a near death experience at point of a car crash or otherwise that would separate the experience from a dissociative one.

[@RodCornholio]

@@seratonyn If you're searching for a materialist explanantion for NDEs, all that I have known were refuted. NDEs are a unique experiences that defy status quo medical theory (as NDEs should, if consciousness has a non material aspect).

[@seratonyn]

@@RodCornholio not at all Cornholio. I craft consciousness as much as the next fellow.

[@seratonyn]

@@RodCornholio there are studies which show efficacy in technology which is effective in producing the desired field for outcomes of out of body experiences and altered states. Near death experiences have only been studied to the extent of cessation of oxygen to the brain and discussion with subject as to their experiences thereof.

[@seratonyn]

@@RodCornholio people don't "dissociate into near death experiences" out of body, yes I can leave room for that. Not near death.

[@somerandomvertebrate9262]

The material world experience is a waste of energy, because if you originally had a 'plan' that's executable within the confines of this plane, there is no way you can remember it. It's also pointless because while life is ridden with suffering, the experience is meaningless and doesn't teach you anything.

[@stephanietretton7508]

@19:38... Jeff... do you ever ask yourself what is the purpose of this trauma, why did I have to suffer so much as a child... Karen... not any more, we are here to suffer... at the most high it can be ever so cold at the most low it can be ever so hot those that are seen to be ever so bold comes up with the idea out from the dot there is a most high there is a most low into the sky... and into below... I'm born at sea level the mean... into a boat, I arrive yet to be seen... I see a mountain just over yonder magnificence in its glory I must climb that one day I ponder if I dig too deep I,m sorry some times those dreams of that mountain top can create a storm at our mean... our sea level... our ground if I am in the light, I build my houses of stone... if I am in the dark, I build my houses of stone too... but I the light can never see your house because its hidden in the dark... and I the dark can never see your house because its hidden too, in the light... don't forget it is I that is very cold and you that is very hot... or is it the other way around! we need to both listen and look together to solve this problem... we take a stone from the low (frequencies), we'll call then sounds, dark, black... then we take a stone from the high (frequencies) we'll call them visions,lights, white... so, as we start building the wall for our houses, we need to mix n match wisely... that wall I can see, and you can see too, because its built with alternating black n white bricks... where each brick is supporting the other, no matter where that brick is in the house... because it is supported, it also supports... the very high supports the very low and the very low supports the very high... the cold stop the hot from getting too hot and the hot stops the cold from becoming too cold... the black n white patterns that form on our house walls are the very same patterns that make up our world... Thx... we are those building blocks, if we can mix n match too perfection, then those patterns can be a joy to look at, or to listen too... the Mean...

Undenied merit nevertheless. However, I have seen and went through far worse and beyond. One's definition of severe trauma is merely a small cut to another; and so is the definition of different level self-healing and personal breakthrough. I am waiting to follow a true master who could live beyond few hundreds year old. If not, I rather be without a master. Please show me some personal merit of longevity or immortality. altc
