Not, “you can almost pass out from it”, but you can pass out because I did. I had a panic attack in the grocery store line and passed out and broke my collarbone as a result. It’s been a lifelong struggle, but I currently refuse to take any meds. I had a therapist once who told me that my panic attacks weren’t mine, but that they actually belonged to my mother. That knowledge really helped me a lot. The steam metaphor describes the sensation perfectly. Thanks Daniel❤️

My panic attacks started when I was 25 and continued on and off for the next 10 years. I felt like I couldn't breathe properly for years. Iwas constantly hyperventilating. When I look back now at the age of 51 I am amazed I got though it. What saved me in the long run was therapy and understanding the depth of my childhood abuse and processing it.

One quick thing to mention -- I am all about attacking the psyche side but also be sure to get some bloodwork / hair analysis done for nutrient and mineral levels. I noticed during 2020, I had a flareup of very bad panic attacks, bolting up from bed around 2 to 3 am almost every night, pounding heart, sense of doom, etc. My mind was extremely calm so it made no sense. I did a lot of research and testing and attributed it to diet. I immediately greatly increased my B vitamin intake (leafy greens, high quality meats) and cut all seed oils, and immediately feelings of tension plummeted and brain fog and aches disappeared. I assume that was chronic inflammation. At the same time, I had issues with coffee which I love -- doing more research found out it can cause major issues with magnesium -- and low magnesium levels (blocking re-uptake) can cause much of this sense of unease and doom - solved that magnesium issue and then all of this diet coupled with the psyche side and feel so great and at ease, (the issue with nutrients, vitamins, minerals, is that most of us are already depleted or at very sketchy levels to being with so one missed meal, one crappy meal or even drinking too many fluids or getting stressed can through us off track). Hope this helps some one! I only wish I had considered the nutrients side much more clearly, especially the coffee-magnesium connection.

When I realise how many people around me are so blind and deaf to the truths you are conveying ( as I was myself for so many years ), I just come back to this space and watch something (if I am lucky a new video!) and I see the numbers increasing and my soul gets a glimpse of a world where the number one priority is to heal our traumas. There are very few people that can say at the end of their lives that they did not live in vain. You are certainly one of them.

Living in survival mode due to unprocessed (childhood) trauma is one of the biggest triggers of panic attacks, especially those that "come out of nowhere". The way out is to work on healing / relaxing the over-activated nervous system, while committing to making more conscious and authentic choices in your life: Deliberately allowing better and safer people, things, and activities into your life. It's a long journey, but body work, trauma healing, and self-awareness are key. Fantastic video, Daniel. Love your content.

Yesterday i went to the bank to cash a check, it was settlement and had 2 names on it, as a divorced couple the bank said that wouldnt work. But they first asked to call their manager and have us sit down, only later to be rejected again. But what happened to me internally was out of nowhere, all the pores on my entire body opened up and i sweated profusely, my legs were jelly, my voice was weak, i felt as though i was hollow and frail, and all i wanted was to leave the bank to get a glass of water and some air. As a black man idk if it was the rejection, or immeditaly feeling like a criminal, etc. ... but it was too much for me personally. This doesnt happen often or at all it was new to me. EDIT: after watching the video i think what i described was a panic attack, i had built up the dread and i couldnt move physically i was basically immobile, and i felt terrified like i was being threatened i only felt like myself after i had walked 3 blocks away

You described that really well with the radiator and the pressure coming out through the tiny hole. I was prescribed medication and when I took it I felt like a lid had been tightly fitted on a pressure cooker. All that emotion and distress has to go somewhere. The medication held in inside me and made me keep “functioning” when I absolutely could not. I think healing may be similar to that law in physics that says energy cannot be destroyed just changed from one form to another. I don’t think any medication can magically make panic/fear/trauma etc. disappear. I once heard someone say that taking medication is like changing the reception on a t.v program you are watching. The image may become a bit fuzzy but what you are watching is still the same.

I have no idea if my depression and anxiety are from past trauma or due to my current problems which are also serious. I mean, I get anxious when I think about how sociopathic rulers are running the planet I'm forced to live on....Wouldn't well adjusted people with no traumatic experiences also feel shaky about that? I have very little social support or friendships, and social isolation could lead to anxiety in a person who had a great childhood. So how does a person know if it's the past or present that's affecting them, is a question I frequently have when I watch your videos. I LOVE this channel and I recommend it a lot. Thank you for being so kind and caring.
@destroyraiden8 ай бұрын
chances are it's from childhood since your saying sociopathic rulers are.... that would be look inside at the ages of 0 - 18 at anytime did you feel or was it actually someone in authority was abusive in their power to you or controlling or ect you can also look based on feeling think of the rulers of today if you need feel that big feeling then start tracing it back what was the last time you felt this same emotion and it may or maynot have to do with others trying to harm or control you but think anyhow, then go back again, you want to find the root or age and sometimes this may not even be yours this could be energy that's in your bloodline it's a following energy some call it a generational curse yet what it is is following energy so if an ancestor & or from your parents/immediate family inherited really had a problem with rulers and this got transferred to you then that's why you're holding onto their thing & you need to process it for them so it can come out of your line. Emotional Release healing an aid in this you can pay for it yet you can also just go get The Emotion Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson it's a great basic tool kit. The energy response very well to the Q&A style he has you can use magnets or if you're natural healer you can use your natural healing in alot of cases to release the energy for me it's the Q&A that is most important as energy wants to have understanding before it will leave. So what causes your anxiety may be a combo of yours and ancestors/family/parents things to be healed and released you may not need specifics either if you can get them fine yet it may also not be needed as not everyone is able to do psychic or energy reads on the ancestors so you just have basic bad things happened around this emotion and understanding that can really help remove it for them. It's not the only way yet it is one way & you may need to learn even more ways as you can't use one method to always remove trapped energy.

Medication also reinforces the behaviours leading to those panic attacks in the first place, much like getting drunk instead of coping with reality... If you live in a housefire, get out, don't just swallow painkillers. I myself have had panic attacks in my late teens as i wasn't allowed to have healthy boundaries in my terribly abusive family. So i had to break away from those whose violations i've learned to accept as ''normal''. I 've had to secretly learn how angry i was on the inside, and i hated my reflex to be a shy and inconspicuous boy. It was a humiliating act to evade the family radar. My anger was the key so set healthy boundaries in the end. And my ''coming-out'' as a person with boundaries broke the family system apart. Still having some weaker panic attacks nowadays (almost two decades later), if the workload and responsibilties become too much, but thats much easier to deal with. Why do people say children dont have real problems anyway? It was hell back then. War with no training nor back-up or any hope of an end, on top of that it was all a taboo we had to smile and laugh off towards the outside world. Adult life is hard but way more forgiving. And did the childhood trauma make me more capable as an adult? I don't think so, but ive still learned a lot from dealing with it. Just felt like sharing. And thanks for the Video.

I found anxiety & it's panic attacks are solved by listening to your inner self and doing what you want or saying what you want the more you learn about the true you, do what your soul wants/needs, the symptoms resolve now keep in mind it's not fast it's taken me 12 years to get a whole lot calmer & 10 of those I went from a level 15 down to 1/2 as far as symptom ratings so it's been 2 extra years after that I'm feeling way calmer even if somethings do upset me the samethings I would've gone into panic attack on i'm a bit upset sometimes. It would take 1 - 2 months for a notch/degree of symptoms to lessen so it was slow yet I was able to feel the progress. Now I'm starting to feel my body relax as I continue to do what my soul needs/wants it's odd feeling to feel a calming body I realize I've not felt the calm of a body since I was maybe a baby or at lest a toddler and have no memory of it!

Thank you so much for sharing this, Daniel! I can relate to every point you've put forth. I was mis-prescribed a benzo by an ER clinician 5 years ago for bouts of anxiety I found later on I was having from taking Glipizide (for T2 diabetes). Rather than take a deeper dive into my records or even ask me where I thought the anxiety was coming from, he prescribed Ativan. No informed consent, no warnings about potential withdrawal symptoms. Had he simply put 2&2 together, he might have said, something like, " looks like it could be the Glip. I would suggest you stop taking it for a while and see if that helps and then we can switch you to another T2 med. Instead he said, "this may not be what your psychiatrist would prescribe, but it will just take the edge off." Even the followup clinicians repeatedly dropped the ball by giving a wrong taper plan an not realizing that I had been on the med for only 5 days where I could have simply stopped taking the med. To this day, I still experience withdrawal symptoms from this benzo and to use your analogy, it really feels as though my relief valve is stuck. All I can say is while benzos can serve a useful purpose, as with patients recovering from surgery etc., one needs to do their own research before considering long term use. In the end, I think the onus is partly on me in that had I been living a healthier lifestyle in the first place, I would probably never would have needed to be on Glipizide and 3 other heart meds with all their side effects. Love your work Daniel! Thanks again! 👍

The evil feeling that was smothering me would last at least 24 hours! I told my doctor what was happening, and she prescribed me lorazepam 1mg. It took the evil feeling away within minutes. If I am ever in extreme pain, and a doctor suggests I take that type of opioid medication, I will insist on having lorazepam with it. I honestly don't know what's worse, the physical pain or the emotional pain of panic attacks. At least I know that mine were caused by medication.

I usually chuck it on the floor but this time I kept pacing back and forth around my apartment. At some point I noticed that my fingers started to hurt quite a bit, they almost stung, and I went from high, pounding heart rate, to super calm rather quickly I thought and then noticed what I had been doing but wasn't sure. I wonder if this is one reason why I didn't have a meltdown at my dentist he had the AC on what felt 60F and I was cold nearly the entire time he worked on me :) So anyone out there reading OPs comment, try it

We're out, dude. Talking to a dear confidant today, I came to the conclusion that the postmodern experiment was something meant to be non-observable to the experiencers--almost like a bubble over the population to prevent a quantum observer effect. I think I observed it (I had been getting frequent subconscious hints since 1987:--). To me, looking back, the null hypothesis was something like "humanity does not matter" or "humanity, taken together, equals no more than the sum of discrete parts (individual humans)." I believe, for the first time ever in my life this afternoon, I was fully cognizant of, and rejected, that null hypothesis. That is, I concluded humans, all together, form a superior humanity. That makes each individual human mean more than either just themselves taken alone or even the sum of all human individuals. Each human really is special, and humanity is transfigurative and special. I really believe there was a global subconscious experiment going on for 40+ years. I believe, because each human is mortal biologically, people back then couldn't stand the thought that together we all make a beautiful humanity, but we individually biologically do not survive to infinity. I think that bothered people back then, and they wanted to prove that we are all just some derivative of individual inputs into the economic output, or something like that. But we're out, dude. Detractor readers on here will probably say that I'm making word salad and manic, but I'm really not. I just came to see today, after really thinking about it for 35+ years, that the experiment is over, it has been observed, and we're out. We're clear. This seemed like a good channel to share the good news:--)

What are your thoughts on IFS? The internal family system? I read the book " self-therapy: a step by step guide to creating wholeness and healing your inner child using IFS" by Jay Earley and the entire book is right up your alley. All your videos and this book had kickstarted so much childhood trauma healing. Discovering it was very life changing and im wondering why this isnt standard practice. I really reccommend the book.

Thanks for sharing. Well, I haven't studied so much about IFS but what I've seen so far is that there's a good amount of overlap with my point of view. But I don't know how radical it is -- I think a lot of its idea are more conventionally acceptable than my own. What do you think?

Thank you for this interesting and unique perspective. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on Marijuana, similar to the one about Ayahuasca. I don't want to "ask that you make a video" as that might be too imposing, but wondering if you have thoughts/personal experience about it, as I have found it to help with healing, and body awareness, but also addictive as it can lead me to engage in dissociative behaviours too ( almost like it brings up internal stuff to quickly, which leads to a sharp turn of me wanting to numb it out ), and very confused about it.

pot made it worse for me. I had full blown, call the ambulance, panic attack after hitting a joint. It was so bad the sweet EMT lady gently asked me to please let her take me to the ER because she's worried about me.

the psychology is important to work on but also common nutrient deficiencies i.e. thiamine, magnesium, can have a major impact on helping dysautonomia/panic attacks. sensitivities to certain foods, fragrances, dyes, etc. can also contribute. Mitochondria need to be functioning well to provide stable energy to the nervous system to avoid stress responses. A ketogenic diet can be very helpful.

it hasn't cured the anxiety/tension completely but Thorned B Complex #12 has been transformative for me, especially if I take it solidly for a month or two, I feel normal. That and avoiding carbs and snacking.

Anyone get burnt out and stay in door cause of it, walk out and too many people in the apartment building and have a damn panic attack? Well that’s what happened to me lol! Then I got paranoid. I didn’t feel like I could escape I got so damn angry. Where I live feels like a prison and its dorm style living it’s awful. I think I was having an anxiety attack though but it’s awful going from being inside doors for days and then being around a party full of people. I’m not on any medication and won’t be any time soon.

that's a familiar story. My apartment building has the new rooms for people to sit around right next to the mailboxes and i actively avoid that area during the weekend on purpose

does that mean if someone doesn't have anything historical from their lifetime/no trauma, they won't have panic attacks?

I find the mind body conundrum extremely perplexing because despite Descartes efforts his work went on to establish a split as opposed to a bilateral relationship. It's difficult to conceptualise certain things when we don't have a consensus of or amalgamation of the theological, the biological and the psychological. From what I can understand the mind and body work in tandem, and cannot be isolated to be treated without factoring in treatment for another. If someone has psychological trauma that manifests as persistent and chronic dysautonomia, does giving people vagus nerve training alone fix it? Does giving them coping skills fix it? Or would we be better to have a comprehensive approach instead of looking for whom cast the first stone, as this is not inherently the same as seeking root cause. The chronology of whether psychology or biology is the root cause is a fools errand as this entails isolating one from the other to treat it. Whether the trigger originated from mind or body does not matter. When we treat people whole-istically, it includes the mind and the body together. The adrenals sit on the kidneys too its commonly toxicity mediated. Obviously there are large amounts of heterogeneities but we cant isolate biology and psychology ever really

maybe you should watch his video that intellectualisation stems from trauma 😮

Kind of sounds like the Biopsychosocial model that has been emerging. I think it will be the model underpinning the next/current cycle as we continue to evolve our understanding of consciousness and the human condition.

@@Hippowdon121 i dont think its intellectualisation - both science as well as subjective expiriences of many people confirm physiological states are very much related to psychology. A good analogy here - when you have a painful, but curable illness, you ofcourse take pain meds to make it easier to get through, but thats not what is actually treating the underlaying problem. Similarly, when you are psychologically traumatised, increasing "good" hormones and lowering bad ones isnt goint to heal your trauma - but it can certainly make the healing process easier, by treating certain symptoms.

Daniel, you talk a lot about feeling unfelt emotion, but I've watched a lot of videos of you and I've never seen you be visible with an emotion yourlsef. Is this the therapist background? So much of "healing" seems to be advice and not examples.

@@dmackler58 Sorry for the delay - that comment wasn't really meant as a criticism of you, but as you say, the format itself creates limitations. I appreciate your efforts. I suppose I'm speaking as much from my own deep needs and lacks. A quick summary of my background: my mother was a narcissistic counselor who force counseled me for years in my teens... it's only recently that I've had a better label of OSDD (a dissociation disorder) as a result of this kind of brainwashing. I learned to label feelings through that control that make me appear like I was in touch with my feelings, but I wasn't - they were behind a glass wall. And prettty much every therapeutic encounter I had encouraged that split. Talking *about* feelings without actually feeling them. I think the structure encourages that. I'm not so different than others, just more extreme. My life has in some ways been a quest to get back in touch with my feelings, which is why I long for even the little things. I did explore acting as a study of feeling and authenticity, but of course in imaginary settings. Once I did a 5 week, 12 hours a day voice and body intensive, and by the end all 50 participants were really showing what was going on in themselves from their whole body and breath. The instructors were amazing at building trust, because it took a lot to be that open when we're used to this culture. It opened me up to possibilities, but also left a sense of lack at not being able to reproduce it easily. Spending 2 years in India also touched me, where expressing full passion was commonplace and there is far less performative/dissociative associations with yoga and meditation. I guess what I'm saying is that especially post covid when people put up more personality masks, I feel a need for examples somewhere in real authenticity with emotions. Like I'm trying to reconnect with fully feeling, looking for models. What I see is all talking *about* feelings. I can't really condemn anyone for doing this, because online is not a safe place - being truly vulnerable can devastate people when there's viral hate or mockery. But it also seems like we've lost touch with what that authenticity and vulnerability actually is - it's become a hash tag. #authenticity This is a comment bigger than you and this video, of course, but I am writing it out of deep appreciation for your efforts and that you listen.
