I just uncovered a massive amount of trauma I've been unknowingly living with for over twenty years. I can finally heal. You have no idea how much this talk means to me.

[@rachelmonroe717]

Amazing. And that fantastic combo of real recent neuro-physiological AND neuropsych studies/ discoveries as well, its application to current daily life for soooo many of us, and that touch of humor that helps maintain our attention and can be so essential is so wonderfully intertwined here and all will leave a positive mark. Thank you!

[@MantenaBr]

Fantastic lecture.

[@Science.Medicine209]

A wonderful talk by Dr Marwa azab, thank you so much. I would also mentioned for all the viewer a little glitch that happened at ""12:38-42, Where doctor said the group taking Tylenol have '''LOWER THERSHOLD FOR HURT"" but infact she was trying to say "HIGHER THE THRESHOLD FOR PAIN OR HURT"'

[@evology-drz5868]

[@juns597]

All good n dandy, but how do you heal the pain?? 🤔

[@sabrinefarjallah]

Meditate Release and let go

[@robertjenkins9283]

I know I manifested a pain with running with a competitive friend... still trying to work that out I didn't need more information on this

[@carolynatkins6473]

Rejection and the combination of lack of social support plus progressive incurable terrifyingly painful and incapacitation i Equals nightmarish experience of the past 😮four years. Life robbing. This a bit simplistic but a lot of truth as well. Social dimissal and alienation is almost as horrific as the severe full body CRPS that medical system mostly ignores or exploits .

But then you won't taste the wine...

[@jbisntme]

So tell me something I already didn’t know. The QUESTION is…………. how are you going to fix it ?

[@malkazaarfalkon2854]

Medication and letting go of your worries

[@playsavedthechild.2848]

Use play and ask people about EMT and other re-enactments of the situations... (not often- that probably strengthens the neurons), the idea is to generate other fictive options... Or something like this. Play helped a child move past trauma and start living and shining participating to life. It might be worth a try. PLAY SAVED THE CHILD.

[@ahnenerbealex6132]

Too much psychology and even politics and not enough real neuroscience. The real question is how and why a neural signal is recognized and processed as pain. I was expecting some info on how pain works on a neuro molecular scale, but this was not explained at all in this talk.

[@trance108]

Almost in every medical physiology & medicine book ,you will found the pathophysiology & neuroscience of "physical pain".. But in this Ted video, psychologist & neuroscientist Marwa azab discussed about the psychology & neuroscience behind "emotional pain"/"psychological pain" & also co relation between physical pain & psychological pain 😍😊

[@PolymathX]

mri and fmri. you poke someone with a pin and the signal fires. you don't have to understand every mechanism to observe it, that's how science works. Often we observe it, then dig deeper to see how it was done.

[@juns597]

Exactly. Felt same way 😑

[@tayetedla6506]

Sensory neurons or pain receivers send signals to your brain that make you say ouch, there you go

[@SimplyAWitch9]

@@tayetedla6506 actually your brain takes in information on heat, pressure, stretch and other factors from neurons. Decides if theres danger or risk Then Projects pain onto the body. The brain doesnt recieve pain it creates it and gives it to your body as protection.

[@zes3813]

no such thing as emotional painx or light upx or shared or rejection or experience or match or x condition etc, buyer not sellerx nmwx, and no depressx, anxietyx etc for suchx, anyx, do things not depresx, anxietyx etc about things, otherx, idts, cepuxuax, any happyx any nmw, and any relatx any nmw

[@pierrefabre7650]

Marrant... La vulgarisation scientifique qui a de la réverbe comme les bons vieux sermons d'églises. Véhicule d'idéologie douteuse (la neuro-tout par exemple). Bon, ben c'est dommage, ça aurait pu, mais le bon peuple veut plus des leçons de morale que de la matière à penser.

[@life_2022]

she doesnt give a any science information

[@marwanthe2oooth]

Did you even watch the talk lol?
