Many thanks to Dr. Scaer

This was fantastic. I'm only sorry I didn't discover it sooner. THANK YOU!

I saw Dr Bob on Controversial tv a good 7 years ago and found his ideas amazing - how he treats the brain and the body as all interacting - and it all making really good sense - how he manages to 'pull things together'. I'm wondering 2 things here 1. When was this video made? and 2. Where are practitioners like him - ie who treat people according to his ideas? These two videos part 1 & 2 fit together really well and seem to provide a really good idea of literally how to understand oneself at a certain profound 'creaturely' level - no mean feat. And I'll be honest this kind of common sense scientific approach is a very welcome change and improvement on a lot of the confusing DSM labelling (frenzy) - this seems so much SANER! So thanks Dr Bob!

I sure wish the medical profession would catch up with understanding that the messed up traumatized brain, has caused my awful chronically pain riddled body, and that with this bs opioid epidemic, they should be held accountable for making people suffer, and making them have no choice but to turn into street drug addicts.. that’s where I am, one step away from trying herion, when all my life I’ve fought against being the “junkie” they treat me as!! Pain management specialists I see won’t even allow me to take my psych meds, because I’m on hydrocodone!! Even though I have a severely compressed spinal cord, they can see I’m in pain, but they threaten to take away my meds every month,, All they are doing is adding to my Cptsd!! Not one doctor I’ve had in the past 30 yrs, not one doctor treats the brain and the body together! No matter how much I telll them that mine are both broken!! I’m sick of being sick, and the hopelessness that the medical field causes!!

So true! Have you tried acupuncture? It is part of “Traditional Chinese Medicine”. That ancient medicine integrates mind and body and so does Indian “Ayurveda” 😍

Good interview. 👏👏👏

Fantastically educational! Thanks so much for sharing this goldmine! I will subscribe:)

Wishing the guy interviewing would shut up and let the man talk..

[@josephbaudille8429]

Chiropractic has been saying this for years. Sympathetic dysfunction leads to lack of ease in our bodies leading to visceral symptoms and disease

[@lawrencedavis5459]

brilliant

[@pattyredmond6963]

so how do you get healed if

[@msrhuby]

Have you healed? It's been four years.

[@BombaclaatGatofish]

​@@msrhuby 6 years and counting...

[@sukhmanicambridge]

Yes I feel the interviewer is hyper aware which is a little unsettling to watch...like he has to ask questions throughout the explanations- it is a little off-putting for us trying to focus on Dr Wheeler. It's not a psychotherapy session!!!

[@mychannel594]

I think he's excellent. His questions and explanations help the audience understand what the Dr is saying, and seems to take a load off the interviewee's shoulders, putting him much more at ease. The interviewer *should* work hard to make the interviewee as comfortable as possible. I think he was very successful and I very much appreciated his interview style. I guess if you are yourself an expert in the subject matter, I could see you being annoyed at the interviewer's ignorance and constant requests for clarification, but as someone even more ignorant than the interviewer, I found it very helpful.

[@mychannel594]

+sukhmanicambridge And by the way, you got the name wrong - Dr. Wheeler is the interviewer, not the interviewee... the person you're "trying to focus on" is Dr. Scaer.

[@msrhuby]

Trauma, Somatic Experiencing and Peter A. Levine PhD KZbin

[@lawrencedavis5459]

the interviewer seems a little anxious

[@mychannel594]

I would call it interest, not anxiety - he seems like a very good interviewer to me.

[@buddybeetle]

Shame about the interviewer - repeating the interviewees lines constantly.

[@anncrammond5353]

Get rid of the self absorbed interviewer.

[@karima7127]

His writing style’s so utterly dull. Don’t believe his words when he says user friendly. Peter Levine P.h.D must be your go-to person.

[@FreshGrey-pm4vw]

I disagree. Having known Dr Scaer I can tell you he is highly informative and the info connects many dots. Scaer was a pleasant helpful professional. Levine on the other hand, was often moody and difficult to be around during trainings. I didnt care for his style much. Perhaps one can learn from both men, although they approach trauma in quite different styles.

[@karima7127]

Are u saying you had a session with Levine and he was rude?

[@lilah3078]

@@karima7127 I think Fresh & Grey was referring to trainings for therapists, not therapy sessions. Peter Levine does often make fun of his own personality but he seems very empathetic towards clients. I was actually thinking of reading Scaer's book "Trauma Spectrum" since Peter Levine recommended it but I'm not sure if it contains any new info. In any case, he seems very caring and knowledgeable in this video and I was saddened to hear that he died.
