[@emiliascharm]

I am loved I am cared for I am supported I am appreciated

[@Ann-sv7zx]

I just realised that most emotional pain and trauma in life is created from interacting with toxic people):Protect yourself from these kind of people guys!

[@margottfon330]

...accept for that they're the very same people you love dearly and the only ones you have... strangers don't hurt you.

[@Mara.Isabelle]

yessssss!!! toxic & unhealthy people

[@elizabethrainbolt9443]

Thank you for your honesty, vulnerability, and kindness.

[@MendedLight]

You are so welcome

[@lioba628]

Yes, thank you, really. Recently, I was diagnosed with a rheumatic condition. I was devastated at first but because of your words I managed to somehow see this as my body helping me to take better care of myself. Thank you, so much.

[@ItsSoarTime]

"at the root of every deep-seated emotion or trauma is a belief that we are unlovable or unworthy or unworthy of love." WOW!!!! THIS is my AH-HA MOMENT!!!!

[@MommaDrake02]

This one was eye-opening for me. I didn't realize how traumatic my recent pregnancy had been until you talked about not knowing if you'd have the mental fortitude to get out of bed and take care of your children due to the pain you'd been feeling. I had a similar experience in my third trimester, my pelvis had separated and it was extremely painful to stand, let alone take care of my then 17 month old. I had family to help both me and my son. I internalized so much of my shame, guilt and feelings of worthlessness. I literally had to pause the video because I broke down in tears just remembering it. Thank you for helping me realize that I've been carrying this with me.

[@MendedLight]

So good to hear this was helpful to you!

[@MagneticMan369]

I am safe I am loved I am worthy of respect I am beautiful just as I am I am no longer afraid of being alone I am Enough I am comfortable with myself

[@HiKasandra]

When I said all these affirmations, I felt like crying. But what you said hit home. I felt that a certain part of me was unlovable. XO

[@CrystallineSpyder]

I watched this video a few days ago and today something happened that led to a heightened level of anxiety. I used this technique and it allowed me to calm and refocus so I wasn't scattered for the rest of the day. Thank you.

[@Rowancat11]

My right arm, leg and eye stopped working the day after the anniversary of my dads death. My body was telling me I needed help. And I hated my body for letting me down.

[@Rowancat11]

T.W. . . . . . . . . And yes, it was childhood trauma, paedophilia.

[@MendedLight]

I'm so sorry that you went through that and are still feeling the effects to this day. Did you end up getting help?

[@Rowancat11]

I did! Half my body shutting down was a little hard to ignore. :)

[@creatorchris712]

You should become a model. Thanks for the tips

[@WhatsaModderU]

PTSD survivor. Thanks!

[@amziedragon6619]

Thank you so much for being vulnerable and for this exercise. This channel is wonderful and so are you. I am going to try and remember this when I need it. I'm sorry for what you went through and agree that yoga is wonderfully calming. I feel almost in a trance after yoga classes haha.

[@MendedLight]

You are so welcome!

[@sarahmayvencrocker1263]

My therapist just suggested doing this and ice been doing it several times today, and it really helps

[@susanryan6648]

Brilliant video, Alicia, loved it. Keep on shining, you and Jonathan are wonderful people. I'm glad to have found your channel. Love & greetings from Ireland ;-)

[@madeleinerasmusen5667]

[@MendedLight]

💜 You are so kind! What has helped you the most in your journey?

[@mschrisfrank2420]

Great tool to have. I already do yoga (Yoga With Adriene videos are awesome) and I’m looking for a therapist who does EMDR therapy.

[@MendedLight]

Awesome!

[@lavalber]

Very helpful content, this is what this channel is full of! French people are also watching you. Thanks for all the support all over the world!

[@mallorga1965]

Speaking of back pain, have you tried the Alexander Technique?

[@homeschoolmamaself-care]

Thank you for this. I’m not sure when you made it but it will continue to resonate for many for many years. Been there done the trauma thing. And this was super helpful. ❤

[@Kestas_X]

This reminds me of a ritual I came up with: I put my Fist on my sternum and say "Courage!" I put my right Hand on the left side of my breast (or vice versa) and say "Trust!" I then gently, slowly and heavily put my right Hand on my left shoulder (or vice versa) and say: "Calm(ness)!" What it means to me is to remember myself to have the courage to talk to others and not doubt what I want to say, to trust that others are there to help me, and to be calm enough to accept that I can sometimes just do nothing, sit back and keep silent, and wont miss out on anything. My sternum is in the front, out in the open, like Courage, my breast is where my heart is and my embraces happen, so it's for trust and my hand calmly on my shoulder really makes me calm because of the slight weight and reminds me to not act hasty and exhaust myself but to give myself a breather. It helps me a lot. Try something like that for yourselves, if you think this sounds good for you.

Thank you

[@maribroughtonwynn8794]

Ouch, letting in the good hurts too...

[@W0ndaze]

Thank you for sharing your experience🙏🏾Would EMDR fall under this? I've always wondered if tapping would be helpful..

[@katharinafliesser5848]

Thank you! - For the video, for the exercise, and for making me laugh and cry at the same time ❤️

[@MendedLight]

You are so welcome!

I have done EFT before. I need to remember what to do. Thanks.

Thank you very much for this video and this channel and the hope you give us all 💕 Sending you love and happy wishes 🌷

[@sirenagarrido3836]

Can you tell me how many times a day can I do that? You explained very well is something that happened in my childhood that almost 70 years later I recently started understanding how my whole had evolved about the most important trauma of my childhood I am working a little bit with my therapist but I have so many issues right that I need to do things for me too

[@krushXMedia]

I used to get bullied in school, got beaten by best friend when we were drunk, then another best friend in college started bitching about me(regards that beating incident because he was present there), Beaten by best friend and betryal by another best friend are recent things happened with me, i have broken friendships with everyone, who is related to the incident and its feels so traumatic but those bully thing get me to remind and really hurts my brain while sleeping, please help me, its been 3 - 4 month I am disconnected from every friend, I only have 1, 2 friends and my sister to share my feelings, I take care of my self and concentrate on my work but let's see what happen in future, before 10 days I was all ok sleeping well then suddenly a friend appear to my house and it reminds me of those old memories then again I was unable to sleep, what kind of feeling is this can you please explain me ??????????? but I don't feel like I don't trust anyone or anything just my brain hurts at night time while sleeping

Thank you 🇬🇧

[@gendor5199]

It would be helpful to have just a video of the affirmations, and having them repeated a few times so not to chase thru the video.

[@_cr8ive_]

All I understand is that trauma can be released . . . I have struggled for years to find even just 1 way in order to make this happen. I feel like carrying a 50KG cement bag wherever I go, and its simply making life impossible.

[@Carvajalh1987]

Love you video!

[@lesliea.6440]

Hello, new here to #MendedLight I was curious can sports or dance help with releasing trauma in the body? Thanks :)

[@user-nx3gj6hh1b]

This video was a little confusing. I think it's cause you showed two separate patterns now. I'm not sure what to do cause I don't know which one you meant. Should I tap my collar bone? Does it matter?

[@singswithspirit2255]

***Peaceful Disclaimer: I am simply sharing my thoughts, experiences, and observations. I respect anyone who has different belief systems.*** There are ex-witches who have spoken about yoga. Please, be careful with the affirmations part. I myself speak the words that my God said I am in His eyes. For example, my God said that He leaves the 99 sheep to get the one sheep. He said that while I was a sinner He gave His life (God the Son; Jesus Who became Christ; Messiah; etc. on His names) to save my afterlife and bless me in this life as well as the afterlife. Now, I am curious to know of any other belief system which has their god speaking goodness about its believers. Just as was said, most all humans have gone through trauma and hope you all know you are not alone. Many have gone through a similar trauma, many are going through the similar trauma, and we all should hope (pray; wish) not others to go through any traumas. Something that helped me was clinging onto my God. Another thing that helped me was hearing or watching BTS videos and other Korean Pop (kpop) Singers. Other help was watching cat videos, reactors reacting to movies, reactors reacting to shows, reactors reacting to informational videos, mass food production, mass production of other products, learning a new language, going to the park out of state, hiking (walk/other), etc. Cats are cool to have as a therapy (emotional supportive). Even dogs or other legal pets one can have and it helps a bit to see how silly these animals are, but also see how curiously helpful/concerned or loving they are towards their owner. Like Mrs. Decker (sorry if I misspelled the last name) said, there are various ways to get through the trauma(s) one has gone through. Best of the future to you all💜🕊 ***Again, Peaceful Disclaimer: I am simply sharing my thoughts, experiences, and observations. I respect anyone who has different belief systems.***

[@swisselle]

the first time you tapped on your cheeck next to nose and on your chest, 2nd round you tapped underneath the nose and left out the chest. Should the cheek, nose and chest be in every round?

[@Ryan-ob6gp]

but how can we help a loved one who's so deep in cptsd and so resistant to any kind of therapy that they refuse to consider it as the cause of their problems? I have a good friend who shows every textbook symptom, behavior and addiction for complex trauma and disorganized attachment who still lives at home at 40. Any gentle suggestion to learn about the condition, or mitigating videos like this is met with harsh defensiveness and a reduction in communication and earnesty. Extremely protective of her alcoholic mother's feelings, even while she can't be lucid and sober any day of the week. I know there's no magic pill or easy answer. It just sucks to watch.

[@kobresia9]

Disclaimer: For some reason I assumed your friend's gender and used "she/her" pronouns (maybe because I'm a woman), and I'm sorry for that, but I have zero energy to correct my comment. Writing it kinda drained me mentally, because talks about traumas are triggering and therefore exhausting... I don't know if you still need help with that, but I'll try to give my perspective. I suffer from CPTSD, and I'm not a therapist! If I were to put myself in your loved one's shoes, I would say that I would not want to hear that there's something wrong with me. She fiercely protects her mother, and you see that as a problem and a manifestation of a mental illness, so instead of "my friend cares about me, he wants to help and is giving me resources for that" she could be interpreting it as "I've been caring for my mom for 20-ish years already, and for him -- my friend! -- that means that something is wrong with me". Another thing you should know about is "caregiver burnout", and also "caregiver guilt" which is often the part of the burnout. I'm sure you can find resources on these concepts, as you've already done a great job researching her symptoms. And to what you should do, and again, don't consider this a professional advice, so I'll rather say "what would I want you to do if I was your friend". I'd want to feel loved, supported and appreciated. I'd be definitely hurt if I would feel like you're trying to control me or shame me. If you say "I worry about you" or "you need help, there's something wrong with you" you'll always be met with great resistance. Instead just tell her that you love her, tell her how you are proud of her for taking care of her mother all these years. Tell her how strong she is, and that you see that it's so hard on her, but she's still going forward. Tell and show her that you're there for her. And try to forget about diagnoses and shrinks for a while, it will only make it worse. She needs to know that she's not alone, and that she's enough and loved, and appreciated. At least that's what I want to hear every time I'm hurting. I want to cry and be a baby, and to have a mother holding me in her warm hug. I want to feel safe as I've never felt safe, not really. You've already done A LOT for her. I would consider myself lucky, if you were my friend! And thank you so much for sticking around, I know it's not easy in the slightest. Take care of yourself too.

[@theartyone]

The affirmations feel too empty to have any effect. Those affirmations need to be felt, experienced, seen, heard to have any effect... tapping and saying does FFFF all.

[@LydiaLS1]

Do I tap on collarbone or not? Under nose instead? A little unclear instruction. I wish you repeated it slower. And several times.

[@GnosisMan50]

If this is so effective, so life changing and transformational, why is it that it has not been widely used for the millions of people who suffer from trauma? How it possible that decades of psychoanalytic study on trauma, from the most brilliant minds in psychoanalysis, were beaten by the tapping method that claims to have the cure to the most difficult aspect of human suffering: trauma. I'm finding it hard to believe that a mere tapping all over the body, with verbal affirmations, has the power to free deep seated trauma. If this were true, it would have been front page news as it was regarding the vaccine for Covid. Until then, this tapping method is utter bullshit. There is no way in hell that this method can do that. You may *believe* it frees up deep seated trauma, but that does not make it true. In addition, where is the scientific study that explains how the tapping method works and who invented it? There are a lot of questions that this method is not answering and there is no proof it works as they claim it does. It's even cruel for taking advantage of the credulity of the masses.

Cringy nonsense
