Trauma doesn’t just live on in a client’s stories . . .
. . . it can get trapped in the body as well - especially in the nervous system.
So it’s crucial to learn how to work with the nervous system to resolve trauma.
In this video, Bessel van der Kolk, MD; Pat Ogden, PhD; and Stephen Porges, PhD share their strategies to help clients stay in the present, tolerate emotion, and stay grounded in their bodies.
For a deeper understanding of how trauma effects the nervous system and the latest strategies in trauma treatment, take a look here:

I fully integrated and healed C-PTSD after 37 long years of inner work and therapy through 9 months of group somatics. It was so truly, wholly uncomfortable, but all of my relational trauma is gone now. Please do more of that for those who can tolerate it.

The greatest barrier I have to full participation in life & being my best self is my nervous system. My fight / freeze & hyper vigilance has affected my career & personal relationships so much. Slowly slowly getting closer to healing.

I’m watching this, and started getting worried, anxious, and stressed about a lot of things, this might be because I’m overanalyzing because of my eagerness to get out of this situation… thankfully, I just remembered that ‘You don’t have to understand everything, you just have to be more understanding…’ then suddenly my brain kind of realize I gotta calm down and accept the fact that I’ll be able to heal this wound inside of me only if I have some enough compassion on myself…

I resonate so deeply with all of this. I’ve lived this shifting experience and learned to tolerate my feelings and sensations. I made peace with tight, numb, constricted, neglected places in my body. I’ve released muscles that have been frozen in place and even built those muscles stronger. I’ve learned how to regulate myself through breathing, stretching, yoga, music, crying, singing, writing, speaking, and just overall expressing. I’ve gotten in touch with my senses and made peace with my inner critic. I’ve learned to discern between helpful and unhelpful thoughts without invalidating myself as I process my wounds and trauma. I’ve learned to name my emotions and accept them as they come, and allow them to go when they don’t serve me. I’ve come so far and none of that would have been possible without bridging my mind-body disconnection and learning about the nervous system’s integral involvement in the processing of trauma. I continue to learn and practice this in my own life on a daily basis. Sometimes as a practitioner I feel like I fall short of helping my clients to go where I’ve gone. How im going to incorporate this into my work… im really going to remember those 2 options when clients become aware of a “process memory” pattern in their body, or pickup on and identify a particular sensation. Im going to either help them to exaggerate and sit with it, and see what comes up in terms of sensation, memory, feeling, or thought. And/Or, im going to help them soften it through mindfulness/relaxation training. What im really going to remember about that second option is the need to revisit the sensation or the process memory. The language of having those two “parts” integrate with each other is helpful, and also something I have not done enough of. On top of all of this… im going to remember that I am not an expert on this from just a few books, this KZbin video, or my own experiences. So im going to become more intentional with getting further training and knowledge and use that to further my ability to provide trauma treatment the best I can.

I think it’s both good and bad, and therapists need to recognize that. Talking about traumatic events for me brought everything to the surface so much that a therapy session would ruin the whole day and the next day. I wish my therapist then would have realized the toll it was having on me. There was little gain week after week for all that suffering. But I also think it’s important for a therapist to understand what happened and I think it can be healing to talk about some of it maybe in longer sessions where you reach conclusions by the end of the session, rather than the typical hour session that leaves you totally raw. I’ve thought about this a lot and decided that it would be best for me to just write it all out, a sort of history, so I don’t have to tell it every time I start with a new therapist. Also, I think some therapists have this idea that if you’re sobbing your eyes out in their office it means you’re opening up or getting something out, and I really disagree with this. These therapists can be just idiots. So, you kind of have to watch out for that and I think that’s why for a lot of people in therapy, vocalizing it all can be really detrimental if your therapist isn’t helping you deal with all that pain and especially if the therapist isn’t even checking if you’re able to function after sessions. A lot of therapists don’t get trauma and shouldn’t be allowed to have patients that have experienced trauma. They can do more damage.

Thats why they say first u need to build the resources with a client..a scaffolding so to speak..that if a client gets into stormy waters he ll have capacity to withstand them without being retraumatised again. Lots of psychoeducation and grounding practices before and only if a client want to unpack what happened. The issues are in the tissues.

For PTSD you need to work on body. Anyone who use Somatic Expirience, Somatic Practice, EMDR, Safe and Sound protocol.. Do not use meditation or spiritual practice. Because you can get worse from my expirience. Mindfullness is something other than meditation. Talking therapy is not good, also from expirience. It is a slow gradual practice, so you must have patience. If you have safety only in that circumstances the emotions and events will come up and you need to be ready, because it is terror and horror. If you go threw this expirience fully present with everything the emotional charge will go away. Sitting with discomfort, no other way around. I tried for two years to skip body processing and got even worse. But I work with therapist EMDR and Somatic or body oriented therapy. And she helped me a lot, but it is still long lifetime working. You also have online working with this kind of stuff. You can search for Irene Lyon on youtube, she has some online courses and you can apply on this. I hope that this information helped you.

I wish someone would have warned me when I began to heal that the changes in those around me could in itself be a traumatic experience whether they reacted aggressively or wanted to be closer before I was ready to let anyone in. I've reached a point where I've needed to stay away from people as much as possible while I feel and release the decades of trauma from my body whilst not in a safe environment as my home is currently under threat by a neighbour abusing a structural issue that she knows has caused me further damage to my nervous system and a housing provider that is useless when it comes to dealing with anything but I feel safe at least in myself as I've become confident in telling people what I need from them without feeling responsibility for their upset whether I say I need them to keep their distance and provide consequences if they don't respect this or for them to inform me of what's going on. All the talking with counsellors and medical practitioners did nothing for my healing, that and medication | realise now merely prolonged my agony. I learned to identify how I felt and could talk about it fluently whilst simply scratching the surface of how I was feeling. People believed I'd moved on from my past because I could talk about it without breaking down but I was containing how I felt so well because to let anyone see how I felt left me feeling vulnerable having been used to being taken advantage of in life threatening ways. My life has still been threatened and still is but I never let them see how much trauma I experience as a result. And now finally I know how to release this I'm gaining much confidence in dealing with their abuse, they can do what they will and I'll confront them with their behaviour without feeling frightened about the repercussions. Mostly I've discovered when abusers are confronted and know they will continue to be confronted they back off after their initial reactions have failed to silence me or prevent me from speaking out confidently about what they do and do what I can to ensure they stop abusing me in situations where I'm unable to leave. When I reacted to their abuse they kept doing it. I've never tolerated physical abuse since the beatings from my mother and as a result this only happened once during adulthood and that was the end of that relationship. It never happened again with anyone else, I was never attracted to physical abusers, just the emotional and psychological ones which in many ways can be worse as they leave little evidence of their abuse and many people don't believe me when I speak about it. Their enablers/rescuers in particular who I often find worse than the abusers themselves. I speak out about them too these days. Having had all those I love taken away one way or another I've got little left to lose, there are advantages to this! We don't have to be healed to be confident, we just need to feel the love that comes from accepting how we feel whatever that is and respecting what we need to heal. It's difficult to heal in an oppressive culture and for me so far been the loneliest time as people, family and those I thought close in particular would rather I didn't heal it would appear. It doesn't sit well with them but that's theirs to deal with!

I healed by myself using Buddhist meditation with the right steps and Dr Bessel Van Der Kolk suggestions Stay present start from awearness of surrounding and my body. In order for the body to feel safe when see hear touch the surrounding with trust and relax the mind will feel safe . The mind don't leave the body tgis stage. If there's past emotion raise up, the monk advised to look at the emotions without judge not react. Like the mind stay calm in the middle way within without fear the fealling. Keep on doing this all day the whole day. Sometimes I take a walk take a pleasure to feel the environment with with calm in the nature. My anxiety attack gone now. I still feel a mind stress. Big trigger gine too realising what trigger me why I get trigger. Trigger get me back to pain like the incidence occurre again. My CPTSD pain have to do with fear the emotion of shame. I disgust the shame and stay right with myself.

Read "The Neurobiology of Traumatic Dissociation" by Lantus, Corrigan, and Paulsen. The current information about neurobiology is far more complex than what is presented in this video, or anywhere else. You will learn about how the hippocampus and amygdala are NOT the only parts of the brain that matter in trauma, and why the polyvagal theory doesn't go nearly far enough to explain dissociation. If you are thinking that the average psychologist is going to explain neurobiology to you, you are mistaken.

While our products are intended for mental health and healthcare professionals, we often have non-professionals that purchase our program out of their own interest for personal growth and development. While the experts do get into scientific research and share concrete strategies to apply in clinical practice, the material is still presented in a way that it is accessible by non-practitioners. So it’s definitely possible that you could benefit from this program - and I’d encourage you to make the purchase if you are interested. Of course, we do have a 30-day money-back guarantee; so if you purchase the course and find out it is not suited to your needs at this time, you can request a refund within 30-days to have all your money returned to you. All said, I lastly want to say, we do not advise these programs be used in place of therapy; though they may prove to be helpful in addition to your work with a professional. So if you are looking for help, I can direct you to this database through Psychology Today: www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists Through this site, you’re able to search for therapists and support groups based on location, and filter through the results based on a variety of factors - specialties, approaches, and methods. If you have other questions about our programs, please do not hesitate to ask.
