This man is a gift from the divine. Please donate if you’re able to. He doesn’t use ads on his videos and he simplifies everything so we can now do the work if we don’t have a therapist and if we are able to seek one we would know what to look for. All my life I’ve never felt safe. Now I know how that manifested and the work to do. I am forever indebted ❤

I gotta recommend Mike Chang's morning flow routine. It's an exercise that i have been using for a few years. Often when in flashback mode i can go days or weeks without exercising (because i live in a van and sometimes there's zero stability or routine at all), and having this exercise routine in my toolbox has saved me so many times, and it's so relaxing in that because I've done it so many times as i follow along i can switch off my thinking and worrying and go into a flow state. It's truly genius.

Thank you for this extraordinary but direct explanation of the childhood origin of mental health problems and as a map to understanding how to learn how to parent with the kind of safety in environment that babies and kids need to grow up well (authentic and consistently loving connection, no abuse, no neglect). It is so sublime to know that polyvegal theory can assist in recovery of abused people who did not have the safe connection by ONE or ALL parents and adults of influence that we needed. I wonder if LIFT can have a prophylactic approach treating pregnant parents with trauma informed therapy for new parents to be

Thanks for all you do. I'm beginning to realize I've been in this "reptillian" mode lots of times I went out in the world and the only guaranteed way to feel safe was being alone or forgo interaction. I only feel at ease with people that exude "safeness" to me, everyone else I perceive as at least slightly intimidating so I have to appease them somehow. Outsourcing my safety like this to others has proven to be harmful to myself in the long run and to people that care about me. So thanks again for enlighting me, mr. Fletcher.

I love how you explain everything. I've learnt soo much from you. You have really helped me understand more about the trauma I've experienced! One thing I notice about myself is that I hold my breath. I think this is a safety issue! I haven't felt safe for years at a deep level. No I realise why. I also realise how shame has crippled me for year's. What an insight that is and how debilitating that is! Thank-you for sharing your wisdom. Blessings ❤

My right vagus nerve was severed 35 years ago in order to remove a brain tumor attached to it. Only lately I am suspecting that it may help explain my Fibromyalgia and disregulation as my body keeps score on the traumatic stress in my life. The literature, of course. Is sparse on the connection and I am grateful for you addressing this. You have been a Godsend.

This makes total sense - I experienced intense narcissistic abuse for 2 years and was in constant fight or flight mode. My physical and mental health suffered. Even after I removed the hideous narc from my life I was still constantly on edge and physically nervous and jumpy - the slightest thing would startle me. It is taking a long time but I’m starting to heal now 🙏 🕊 💕

What a huge fount of help you are! I’m so very grateful for you and keep sharing your videos with others. For me, as a Christian, I avoid yoga due to its ties with Hinduism, and if I’m meditating, it should be on the truth of God’s Word, not just chanting or humming. I’m not looking to clear myself of thought, I’m looking to have the fullness of God filling me, changing me, transforming me, so that I become more like Christ.

Finding people to have deep meaningful conversations with is also a challenge seeing as most people think i am to deep, i have not yet met anyone around me who is doing any inner work, it is only people on the internet, most don't get me at all, and do not want to delve into their inner world, but rather ignore it for entertainment or work on the outside.

Sorry to hear you went through that, not having that initial emltional.attachment to the mother does affect the child, my niece although the circumstances were different having be born ill she had to stay in hospital for two years and that defo damaged the bond with her mother. My mother abandoned me not in the physical as she was in my life, however she abused me, mentally, physically and emotionally being a Narc it is as hard to.grow up not being screwed up. the best thing I did was get away from her in my early twenties, I used Art as a tool to heal painting doodling, is like meditation. I was diagnosed with dyslexia in my mid thirties whilst studying as I was struggling with the written word, I must say that I have improved my writing t skills skin that inner work, I hope the same for you, that you heal from the hurt you went through, and continue to grow spiritually. ..So.we.can shine bright like we were meant to. 😊

I came back in ventral vagal for a day a few years ago and it was amazing, i felt emotions and was connected to people also instinctively knew what was socially appropriate or not. I got out of it because I had a panic attack thinking about death that night, I've just been waiting for it to return since then, i'm building my life, working, getting married, making kids, but i'm empty and don't know who I am. Life is safe but my brain is still "off" except for anxiety. Constantly fawning, or freezing.

The only Person one can fully trust - 100% - is God. Fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom. Fear of man brings a snare. For me one of the most liberating truths to learn was that one is not supposed to put trust in anyone other than God; this according to Jesus' example: He did not trust people, because he knew what was in them.

My Doc inserted this Vagus Nerve Stimulator. I noticed the difference about an hour later. Its uncomfortable and very difficult to stay asleep. Ive had it on for 4 days and it will detached in a week.and a half. I git it from my Pain Management Doctor. Not sure if its a trial. I say that because they never gave me any literature or written warnings etc.
