What are retained Primitive Reflexes?

[@beckacheckaenterprises7294]

I’m an adult with 6 of 9 reflexes fully retained - am I just some insane person or do adults exist and get these too, why does EVERYONE ALWAYS talk only about “children” they’re only children for 18 months - obviously help them too, but about people. Ugh I’m severely impacted by mine probably for having them never helped as a kid and living with them for ever - I’ve finally found I’ve got this so severely and finally getting therapy

[@charlieb9144]

Hi, what kind of therapy, I'm sure I've got some retained too and I'm in my 30's

[@cathybaldock]

I guess adults have developed more coping/masking mechanisms, so it's less obvious. I recently found out that my child has them, and so do I. Life has felt like trying to swim upstream- constantly. There are practitioners that work with adults. All the best on your journey!

I listened to a few videos on this and I really liked the way you explained this! Ypu made it easy to understand. Thank you!

[@anirband12]

Thank you for sharing! Learnt a lot!

[@Sarah-KayleyRobinson]

This is really thorough and really helpful. You literally have just described my child. I’m off to find a therapist!!

[@Marcoplh]

Very thorough! Thank you for the information!

[@lumay333]

Thank you, very well and clearly explained. Very much appreciated.

[@ChilledOut]

Thanks for this information, how long does it take to integrate these reflexes and see a change in the child’s behaviours? Eg Moro reflex and sensory processing difficulties

[@SwimAngelfish]

This is great information could you cite the resources that gave you this content

[@lujane2253]

This was very education and extremely helpful! Would you mind listing your references for further studying? Thanks!

[@daliamugrabi7553]

So informative! Thank you!

You mentioned activivating the left side of the brain. How do you activate it?

[@kelviannaepperson3677]

The left side of my brain is damaged because I was preemie and the conditions of my birth resulting in cerebral palsy. She did mention the affects and cause but not cp in particular maybe because there is no cure and the retained reflex will persist through adulthood

[@hopeeecarter4289]

Helps a lot thanks

[@absolumentpas2]

Where did you get this information? Where can I find the research behind this?

[@LaraCatherine-cm8ff]

Dr.Robert Melillo's books 📚

[@kelviannaepperson3677]

I have cerebral palsy and was wondering the same. I have moro reflex and have fear of falling

[@user-dm8fz6sc1d]

​@@LaraCatherine-cm8ffthat is where I came across it!

[@annak29]

Why aren't doctors aware of this at all? Even neurologists? Have been to SO MANY doctors with no help. Wasted money everywhere. All the descriptions fit ADHD symptoms. 🤔

[@user-dm8fz6sc1d]

100% my thoughts exactly. How many people will be misdiagnosed with ASD/ADHD/DCD when really it is potentially retained primitive reflexes that can be corrected. This should be ruled out before any diagnosis is given in my opinion.

[@user-dm8fz6sc1d]

Youre literally describing symptoms of ASD, ADHD & DYSPRAXIA. I wonder how many people have been misdiagnosed?

[@DoctorMaya7]

Very cute and informative, I liked the enthusiasm I hope more people watch this and learn and not waste money and time consulting counselling and stop popping pills. and vigour in the presentation. I hope I had seen your video when I was in the UK because I would have visited your clinic to see what you do. Visit my channel and read my books, and am sure you will like my work. The Moro reflex is the only reflex that links us to our ancestors - monkey. The reason the arms extend and flex is that the baby monkey must grasp the abdomen tight, and not fall when the mother jumps from branch to branch. If retained, the adults will be hypersensitive to movements, and noise.

We did not come from monkeys!

[@rickenterline1570]

Tar walking ? I can't figure out what this is...

[@kelviannaepperson3677]

Oh she said toe walking. It is common in cerebral palsy which I have my moro reflex is retained. Though she had named things that go on and cause cerebral palsy she didn't talk about it in particular

[@rickenterline1570]
