Have you ever walked into a room and felt suddenly sad or anxious and have no idea why you're feeling that way because no one’s around? Your brain can activate strong emotions without you being aware of why you feel that way. This video outlines the science behind emotion regulation.

As a cognitive scientist, I am really glad that the academy is now focusing more on emotions. I believe that increasing research in affective neuroscience have great potential to provide tools in understanding the mind. I can't wait for the emotion series!

[@ranc1977]

Until that happens we need to uncover the damage which CBT and DSM have done to people who went through trauma and got ableism instead of validation and help.

[@basakaybasakay5000]

@@ranc1977 i somewhat agree especially with the dsm part, however i feel like “damage” might be a too harsh term to use. After all, we do need some kind of reference for the beginning of the treatment. Over generalizating and categorizing are indeed harmful but i personally benefited from the diagnosis and later on, from cbt. This is why i am now happy to see that cbt is now getting more focused on emotions and most importantly; feelings. I am personally witnessing this shift but it is important to note that im not a therapist, im on the research part and these arguments are coming from anecdotal experiences :)

[@ranc1977]

​@@basakaybasakay5000 " we do need some kind of reference for the beginning of the treatment" That is the central problem. DSM is turning into modern Bible - where we put our trust and faith into ideology. DSM is not science. It is manual, it is based on statistics, not actual proof neither truth. Statistics are prone to errors (statistical errors such as Simpson paradox), statistics can easily be interpreted in wrong way, intentionally or unintentionally. What we now know is that there is ableism - neurotypical brain - which is nothing else but conformism and groupthink, herd mentality. Such as North Korea or Russia mentality - where anything different from the "norm" or "majority" is perceives as "disorder" and sickness and abnormality. This is extremely damaging to people who actually seek help by psychology - I am talking about traumatized individuals. Then DSM and CBT are doing incredible psychological damage due to process called Hyper-cognition. This means quickly giving labels onto phenomena reported by traumatized person - which leads to misdiagnosis after misdiagnosis. For example, social anxiety is part of Complex Trauma - which CBT blocks and bans due to pharma mafia. CBT explains away social anxiety as laziness and weakness - and this way CBT is instructing socially anxious to develop personality disorder: since it equates emotions with self worth. CBT is doing this same pattern for any other "disorder". If we are not serial killers, if we have no internal hidden agenda to harm and cause pain to other people - there is no disorder. Traumatized person needs to be listened and validated, not given drugs to shut them up, traumatized person needs to talk and to express themselves. CBT is tool of censorship and suppressing "undesirable" emotions - which leads to mental illness. CBT is a form of narcissistic abuse - where the target is brainwashed and gaslighted for manipulation and control - in order to serve the ideology of "norms". Instead of ableist CBT there is Humanistic therapy as functional alternative.

Women are mostly quickly labeled and stuck with sticky label of BPD - just to shut them up.

[@Lyrielonwind]

I have read that BPD can be reversed, I am not psychologist but I have read many comments about it and how stigmatized is the disorder. I have also read that many times is confused with CPTSD and for some reason, is more common diagnosed in women. I'm much older than you and I had a crappy childhood and life. I spent a year having EMDR and I went from being in fight and flight response to a freeze response that was keeping me unable to get out of my house. I quit therapy because the psychologist started to give me narcissistic-guru vibes and now I'm on my own researching other approaches like somatic therapy and others. I believe I need a psychologist more eclectic or holistic. I'm feeling a little better. Don't get stuck in the diagnosis. I was diagnosed BPD, which for me it was a trauma by itself and I don't like how many psychologist talk about it. I really believe is the box where people who don't fit in a diagnosis get stuck. Of course I am disregulated and have complex PTSD but I don't fit completely into the box. Besides, that particular psychologist seems to be way too focus in making money and have messianic traits. Don't give up

[@kyrabarr2846]

This makes perfect sense. I have noticed that sometimes you can even look at an image it can trigger a "feeling" within the body. That's why I am very mindful now of looking at movies that have unsettling images, or reading things that make me uncomfortable because it can affect the amygdala and the hippocampus and cause a stressful feeling or create an environment for anxiety!

I cannot articulate how much your videos are helping me. I told my therapist and psychiatrist all about you!!!!

[@samarakaye2573]

This was very insightful for me. I have been finding it hard not to get at the mercy of my emotions. Now, I understand that the regions of my brain didn’t have enough information to be grounded or stay grounded. My amygdala was prematurely activated from childhood abuse and neglect. And in the early adult years, my hippocampus had shrink from chronic stress.. with my amygdala becoming my sentient intelligence - taking charge and always on the alert mode. The past few months had been hard for me as I rewire my brain with a more laidback lifestyle and healthier choices. I think I know now why I’d find myself often tired. Because I had to constantly rationalize my thought patterns when my amygdala gets so activated from stressful situations. I am going to take myself easy and be gentle. This gave me a whole sense of assurance that I may be doing something right. I was actually giving up and felt hopeless with myself for failing to regulate well. Right now, I will continue with my 10-minute daily exercises, intermittent fasting, healthier food choices and psychotherapy. Also, I have been learning a new skill - content creation. I am already doing what’s good for me. This was a great affirmation!!!

[@catmate8358]

Dear Dr. Marks, I appreciate your videos enormously. You are one of the best educators on YT and probably the best when it comes to psychology. I, otoh, am a videographer so please hear me out: this video is overproduced. Video editors love editing effects because they aspire to work in Hollywood, but an educational video is not entertainment. Educational video is meant to transmit information to the viewer and this works best without unnecessary distractions. Swooshing sounds, splash paint transitions and most other effects in this video, including stock footage, are not only unnecessary, but they are distracting from the message. Literally the only useful visual addition in the video is the graphic representation of the parts of the brain, because we don't know where these things are situated and what they look like, so showing them is useful. Most everything else is distractions that are actually harmful to the educational quality of the video. Remember when you used to just sit in front of a camera and talk? These videos were virtually perfect for their purpose. As you know very well, the brain has limited bandwidth - i.e. limited ability to process incoming information and when that bandwidth is exceeded, some of the information is filtered out - it never reaches us. This is what happens when you overload a video with visual or sound effects which overtake our attention and filter out the useful information that we came here for in the first place. So please reign in your video editor. He or she might be young and inexperienced and eager to try new things, but this is not the kind of video where it should be done. Editing works best when it's invisible. I know that no one wants to be invisible but sometimes it's just a fact of life that we need to accept. Kindest regards and best wishes to you.

Love your channel! Thank you for explaining the basics of Emotion Regulation. I'm in the process of healing my limbic system (with DNRS) which was on overdrive since childhood and made worse from multiple trauma experiences. I'm 43 now and it got so bad it caused an immune illness and I literally became allergic to everything to the point of not being able to leave my room. I suffered this way for 3 years but I'm happy to say I'm almost fully healed. My brain is more calm and I'm less emotional too. I didn't realize how bad it was until I started to get relief from the symptoms. Anyone suffering from MCS , Severe Allergies , mysterious symptoms, MCAS, Fibromyalgia, CIRS, Asthma should try DNRS because The Vegas nerve is also negatively impacted by an overactive Limbic System and this nerve is responsible for regulating so many bodily functions. Side note. Toxic relationships must be ended in order to begin healing and stop watching the news altogether. Those are absolute must do's .

I thoroughly appreciate the context and delivery of information in this video, it gives a scientific understanding of depression that answers questions for me and hope. I look forward to more on this series. Thank you for your contribution, it helps so many have a better understanding ! (Physicians don’t always take the time to do, and too quick to throw meds) When we know better we do better 🙏🏻

Glad I watched this. I hate when I try to reason myself out of not feeling stuff not because I don't want to feel it but because my feelings are so strong I can't stop analyzing it until the bad feeling goes away. IDK what that's called.
