Overcome Anxiety and Trauma Loops with Brain Retraining

[@stevec404]

Did this this morning and it worked great...seeing disruptive thoughts from an 'outside of the mind' perspective (pretend to be looking in at the thought, not being trapped inside of it) allows for near instant objectivity and release of anxiety.

I’m an older person recovering from neuroborreliosis. It is critical to slow down video speeds, set volume to constant and know how to pause. These videos are great without watching… The eyes and brain are so easily overloaded by screens. It does recover if the brain can rest. Workplace laws? No family to lean on because “you look fine”? Accept that it’s difficult and leave those who are demanding you to wake up and handle everything you could do while a healthy overachiever. Respect is a hard thing to earn from those who leaned on you before your illness.

[@scruffster4519]

The exposure therapy I'm doing now to try to get past this to make my brain realize that it's safe to be riding in the car and it's safe to be going in the stores and stuff even though I'm dizzy is very very hard it's so hard to make any progress

make sure all your vitamins and chemicals in body are optimal and that you have no parasites and gut issues. Internal infections can cause lack of vitamins and cause us to panic and anxiety. b12, Vit D, C and magnesium deficiency are common. Look into G.I gut map test

[@marynirmala5497]

Good morning. Any negative comment, constant negive, anxity, worry. Unable to sleep. There is upper chest burning sensation. Thanks for your videos

i have been waking up with morning nausea ,i am going through so many things and i cannot seem to get this off my mind ,its so bad to the point where i get sick sometimes and its been occurring for over a week now .i try to remind myself that this is temporary but im losing sleep over it and i sit feeling nauseous for the whole day

Put the palm of one hand over the forehead across not upward Then other palm over the same area at back of skull but just a little lower down than the forehead level. Again across not placed vertically Lie that way for ten mins. Breathe out thru mouth with tongue touching roof of mouth and always in thru nose. Do it like this every breath in and out

[@megm.c4026]

Thank you for the great info free. There are so many sharks out there mining very sick people. So many cant afford to get the help which is pretty disgusting really. So kudos to you for making it available to all.

[@re_origin]

Glad to help where we can.

[@rijd2304]

This is a good message, but very difficult to implement if anyone has tried...I've tried. It's doable but takes a lot of patience, self grace, and and being kind to yourself. Mindfulness meditation everyday has helped; I used the book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels but there are many out there. Silence and solitude (especially in nature) are an amazing healer.

[@re_origin]

Indeed. It takes practice, patience, compassion and consistency. The things that are most worth while, are never the easiest. But doable 💪

[@faithevrlasting]

Does that make sense.Ben, or is that something I shouldnt do.

[@Debaron1945]

Jumprope is good for brain retraining.. and mantra meditation

3:24 para sympathetic state is efficient and is optimal for self healing and self regulation

The cog symbol tapped at 75 gives this a more laid back and measured tone , if you struggle with fast talking.

[@B3l0v3d05]

Wow thanks for talking about brain retraining related to mental health conditions and trauma. Many BR programs only target neuroimmune conditions and such

[@titaniumbowlingball4258]

Ben Ahrens, Thank You so much for answering my question!!!🙂And for answering my question first!!! For me, I have found that discovering or identifying the unhelpful loop or pattern in the first place seems like the biggest challenge. Personally I am very much hoping and looking forward to the next video that you put out like this. Perhaps you could identify common example thought loops and then maybe break down simple steps with those loops in some future video? (Please?) I absolutely connect with anxiety and depression on a visceral level and I am very glad you included those issues in this video. Would love for you to address common thought loops (negative patterns) associated with 1) chronic fatigue and 2) chronic pain as those two issues may resonate with you from your own personal journey of recovering from chronic symptoms from Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease.

[@juntjoonunya9216]

good stuff, I'm inspired. I'm taking the path towards God in my healing journey and proper regurlar prayers retrain the brain, and soul, so this will fit perfectly just a few adjustments to the protocols(I'm looking in BR in genera)

[@loahyvalley9797]

Great video❣ By hearing you use the term "allostatic load" and looking it up (and a lot of words connected to it 😊 ) a whole new world of insight and understanding opened up for me. An astonishing new perspective of the interconnectedness of the body, its biochemistry, the brain, perception, psychology, sensed state of being and quality of life... this is so new and so revealing for me that I still barely can put words on it. - On a practical level I`m regularly using your exercise combining the physiological sigh (heard first about it from Andrew Huberman), the snapping and clapping for a few days now and I'm already feeling good results. (I modified this exercise a little by combining it with the butterfly embrace from EMDR during the exhalation phase and this work even better for me). - So thank you so much for the GREAT work you are doing! You certainly have lit a beacon of hope for me. 💖

[@SallyJock]

Thanks. Enjoyed your presentation. Would love to hear how it can be applied to physical symptoms in the body.

[@scruffster4519]

Interesting video. I've been watching a lot of them I am struggling with horrible anxiety and basically a panic attack while riding as a passenger in the car parrots some of it is linked to my inner ear problem but this really bad anxiety and stuff is something new and I think I know when it happened and now I cannot seem to turn off the fight or flight

[@Marcsadventure]

Thank you Ben , you have a very nice way of explaining this stuff

[@re_origin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gerrfleck]

I have done this for 5 years now. Still many ebbs and flows. Why doesn't it stick and stay? Why do some get instant relief and it stays and others it doesn't do the same for? I know we shouldn't compare, that's a negative.

[@meganobrien1019]

Thankyou for these awesome videos ❤🙏 you have such a kind, positive and uplifting vibe while also being great st explanation which is so awesome and makes the video's super approchable and enjoysble to watch 🙏

[@re_origin]

You are so welcome, glad it was helpful for you!

[@EndPoliceBrutailty]

Possibly play the viola for 5- 10 hours per day? 😊 5 minutes of viola is better therapy than the last 5 years of counseling. Yup.

[@tammygravis1462]

This is awesome. I need the program.

[@germanshepherdtalk3356]

I am leaving my fav house And moving to small house far from nature and animals and its scares me alot With zero money in my pocket with almost no hope to get a place like this Leaving my friends and environment I am jobless and all this will happen next month whenever these thoughts come in my mind that i am leaving this place I can’t sleep heart palpitation, always worry and thinking I was already suffering from ibs before

[@TamiCrawford-km4hk]

Thank you❤

Can you do this brain retraining program if you are tapering off benzodiazepines prescribed by a psychiatrist? I am at .05mg if klonopin per day.

[@re_origin]

Yes. We recommend to just start slow

Any discussion on trauma and old repressed stuff emerging?

[@re_origin]

We have some information on how we can help with trauma here www.re-origin.com/conditions/trauma-loops Also other blogs can be found that may be useful to you here www.re-origin.com/blog

[@Somanyissues93]

Is re-origin helpful for someone who has suffered from panic attacks for years?

[@re_origin]

It certainly could be. The program aims to 1) reduce the allostatic load (total stress load that builds up in the nervous system and keeps us ‘on edge’) and 2) retrain the stress-response to resume homeostasis faster (or not become dysregulated in the first place.

[@Zar2244]

Some people find that using breathing exercises helps, along with exercise, and exploring vitamins and minerals intake is optimal. For myself, it was low vitamins and minerals that started my first panic attacks due to having Coeliac disease I wasn't aware of at the time, low Iron in particular.

[@liannevanes7732]

When you retrain your brain a lot can you experience some kind of widraw symptoms? I experience some weird feelings in my brain and nervous system and I also feel like my whole hormonal system is also undergoing changes. Could you say a little bit more about what happens in the brain when you retrain it and the symptoms you can feel when you are literally creating new neuronal pathways?

[@MishMacky]

Yes. There are side effects, which will eventually subside over them. It will be up and down.

[@yashtechconsulting]

Thanks champion

[@vitamind6355]

Does NLP do the same thing as brain retraining? What are the differences (if any)? Thank you.

[@re_origin]

Great question. NLP can be a helper to brain retraining, however, language is not the main pathway to the limbic system, it is a supportive one. Our program focuses on the felt-sense (somatic exercises) IN ADDITION to language and broader understanding to send a new message of safety to the brain and nervous system. NLP is great. but we have found that the most effective way to create lasting change, is through the brain AND body.

[@stellaancimer8505]

It is all depend how much the brain is "damaged" inflamation in the body, always find a help, and eat good nutrition

[@mickkali]

I came across your channel early this morning happenstance. Enjoyed the first two videos and immediately found your Ted Talk WOW !!! Congratulations on your recovery .. awesome story❤ Few questions when or if you have time to answer.. 1)How do I find out more about you and your class ? 2) Are you in the same wheelhouse as Dr Bruce Lipton and/or Dr Joe Dispenza? 3) are you familiar w Dr John Sarno and TMS and would your program help with that Thank you kindly Rose

[@re_origin]

Hey Welcome to the re-origin channel! Here are my replies: 1) www.re-origin.com/program 2) More neuroscience, less quantum physics 3) I am familiar with Dr. Sarno's work, our program is designed for any conditions that are self-perpetuating and inflammatory by nature (including anxiety which has inflammatory components). Hope this helps!

[@mickkali]

@@re_origin thank you !!!! Yes.. very helpful !!! I will check out your website. Your Ted talk story was extraordinary. The human mind is extraordinary!!

@@re_origin thank you !!! I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I will check out your program 😀

[@B3l0v3d05]

I don't feel much of a shift doing the retraining sequence. Is it common at first to not notice much "shifting" into parasym?

[@re_origin]

Yes, this can be common. It can take time for your brain to start recognizing and responding to these new cues but ss you continue practicing, you’ll likely become more attuned to these subtle shifts.

[@MishMacky]

Can take weeks of commitment to the practices to start to feel any small benefits and many months to feel significant benefits

[@EE-bl3zr]

There's a tremendous amount of science around EMDR therapy, such that I don't think it's appropriate to treat it like it's some voodoo and chicken bones. And doing so. You've discredited your own channel to me for what that's worth.

[@CatherineCradwick]

Really enjoy your messages about wellbeing but have had to stop watching after a few minutes due to the constant jerky video cuts every few seconds. KZbin invites dazzle, buzz, snap, bam, wow but it triggers the nerves. For those of us suffering from anxiety or just on edge, some visual calm or slower pacing to accompany your great messages would be so welcome. Would love to keep watching! Thank you.

[@EvinFox]

(I love this content, but it's distracting to have the "blips" or "takeaway" editing that's peppered in the video.)

[@re_origin]

Noted!

[@DennisNowland]

If only it was a simple step, and you know that. Where is scientific papers to validate your hypothesis? I tell you what is as important as anything, a good nights sleep.

[@re_origin]

Of course, anything worth doing require repetition and consistency. That is why we created a science based program, created by actual neuroscientists (see the science section of our website) and supporting community + coaching to help people with this type of science-based retraining.

If it really helps people, why isn't it offered completely for free? Or offered through a doctor's clinic/hospital? I live an incredibly unstressful life and have for a while now, and yet I seem to be getting worse and worse CFS-like symptoms. I changed my eating habits over a year ago (to whole foods and no unhealthy snacks) and that significantly reduced my anxiety and depression as well as the intensity of migraines ... yet still when I do anything physical my body can't handle it. And I've gotten worse out of the blue for doing things I had previously done every day. Also, who are you? Are you a neuroscientist? A neurologist?

[@re_origin]

Hello, Please feel free to read about our science backed program and the The re-origin Brain Trust here (our Science Advisory Board) - www.re-origin.com/science/ this should answer some of your questions. We also have some information on how we can help with CFS symptoms here - www.re-origin.com/archive-conditions/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-cfs/
