I survived the Southside of Chicago, 15 year stage 4 Cancer battle, more trauma than imaginable...been working in Mental health for 20 years...I have complex ptsd...no one understands my ptsd...sucks to be me!
Hi andrew . You are doing a great job at spreading knowledge with you podcasts . Is there a way you could add persian subtitle to them . Im sure a lot of iranians will aprecviate your work . Hope you the bests
Between listening to the episodes with Esther Perel, Dr. Paul Conti, and now Dr. Victor Carrión on PTSD, I think I broke my own heart overnight. I just cried for 20 minutes straight, just feeling the weight of the world. But honestly, between the knowledge from these experts and what we can do in our own homes, I’ve never felt so damn hopeful!!! It made me cry for another 5 minutes, but this time, it was happy tears! When I felt that burst of hope, it was like my whole system found balance for a moment-physically relieved if that makes sense...I want to feel like that all the time, thank you Team Huberman for allowing us to hold onto that sense of peace and hope 🕊️
For some children you’re forced into early adulthood at 11 was told I was the man of the house some of us lose the ability to play And it’s replaced with early maturity which gives you coping skills at an early age but also robbed you of your childhood thanks again appreciate what you do
Thank you for sharing. I noticed I started this behavior after my husband took his life 2016. I’ve now stopped the behavior I am hoping that I haven’t caused to much damage. Both of my kids are adults and seem to be doing well. I am aware that they just may not be able to share with me as they may not see me as supportive. I appreciate you & wishing you well my friend. 🙏🧠❤️☮️🌏🙏 ~Michelle
That's called parentification. When a child is expected to behave like an adult. Often taking care of parents' emotional needs and household responsibilities. ❤
@@TheEarthsAngels I just noticed your tag I grew up in Redwood City union sheet-metal worker I even worked on the Stanford campus sometimes it’s a small world thanks again
reframing it as injury over disorder is very therapeutic for me and my brain. I remember the one thing that happened to me about a year and a half ago that changed my brain completely. It’s been an uphill battle mentally for me. Working on newness/ neuroplasticity has been helpful. I remember then this happened saying to my family “my brain my brain.” It truly felt like an injury occurred. I can’t explain it.
It's crazy and in a way therapeutic to read the comments on how many people struggle with PTSD and mental health. Kinda feels I'm not as lonely in all this
As someone who suffered for decades before ever learning about PTSD I have a strong impression that there's plenty more also suffering in silence and are not in the comments.
We're 20 years behind in revealed knowledge bcz of suppressed and withheld information from all levels of health.. .bcz of FDA, NIH, WHO, USDA, CDC, thank God for advocacy of free speech....keep pushing for info availabilty.
I am a therapist and can tell you there are so many people who have PTSD. I like how he used injury because a lot of people seem to have no idea how treatable it is. Injury sounds normalized and like something you can recover from, both true.
I am a bilingual speech and language pathologist, Spanish/English, working in a large New York City School district. I have a twenty three year history working in pre-school following a socially emotional model. Our curriculum was based on Leslie Koplow's book Unsmiling Faces. I listen to these podcasts regularly as I am interested in the content, and I try to implement new strategies moving forward. This podcast is particularly touching to me as the children in my school community have gone through and continue to go through many traumatizing situations. Emotional stability and psychology have always been very close to my heart. I feel particularly blessed to work with school-age populations and hope to be a guiding light through their struggles not only educationally but also in life in general. Thank you for these insights.I plan to share them with staff members in my school and friends as well.❤🙏🙌
The evolution of PTSD into PTSI (Injury) resonates as drastically more hopeful. There is the very real sensation that an injury can be healed, while a disorder is something that can be learned to be lived with. Freedom could potentially be expressed as a healed autonomic nervous system where there is a suppleness to the lever between S. Dominance and P. Dominance. So that we can all be more like a dog that can go from deep sleep to hypervigilance, and back again with tremendous ease. Muchísimo gracias a ti Dr. Victor Corriòn and thank you Dr. Huberman for your continued offerings to the global community. Also, in case this is helpful for anyone with elevated cortisol levels before bed, I find swinging in the hammock for at least 15 minutes very helpful. Not sure what the data is on hammock use, but I find it very helpful for relaxing before bed.
Since I began my PTSD journey with reading "The Body Keeps The Score" I have doubted myself, others (pros) have doubted me, I have relapsed with booze, I have relapsed with mania, but looking back, the most progress I have made has been through the workbooks I read on PTSD and CPTSD. Yes, just reading workbooks and doing the exercises. That's all I did, and it has changed my life to the core. So, whatever anyone thinks about me, whatever I think about myself, doing the work that is put forth, has worked for me, so I will continue to do it. And probably for the rest of my life, so thank you for this further contribution to the space.
Just a fabulous presentation. If only we had a simple way to alleviate PTSD. I love to hear about the research that delves into the neural components of PTSD in the hope that this knowledge will promote understanding and effective treatment. Thanks for this.
Was diagnosed with PTSD at 16 after an assault that took place when I was 14. Been living with it for almost 20 years now. But I am happy to say I am thriving! Therapy, faith and a great community saved my life.
Happy birthday Andrew! Thank you for everything you do, thank you for being here, thank you... We don't have enough words to tell you how much we appreciate you
Thank you. I am 46 years old and have undergone therapy for Complex Post-PTSD, developed in childhood. I couldn't be more grateful. Watching that conference helps me understand myself better and approach the symptoms that still arise with more compassion.
I grew up facing a lot of challenges-moving from a third-world country, growing up in 4 different countries/3 different continents in my first 16 years of life, learning 4 new languages, and dealing with religious abuse as well as extreme racism. I NEVER thought of it as trauma (as we don't believe in such things back home and see emotions as weakness) until I started understanding it through Huberman’s podcast. I binge listened to the entire podcast. lt wasn’t until I started picturing my kids going through the same challenges I did at their ages that I realized the weight of it all!!! It broke me, and for the first time, I truly felt the emotions I had buried! This reflection has helped me heal in ways I never expected ♥️ Mister Huberman, Bless you and both your parents for giving us you ❤️🩹🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️ and thank you to your team for making all of this possible.
So glad you went through that process for yourself and for your beautiful children who didn't and who now have an amazing parent and will have the most amazing childhood and grow into fantastic adults x
I especially loved Dr Carrión’s mention of “belonging” and being “good citizens”, I like this departure from longevity and individualism that seems to be very pervasive in these spaces. His message is inspiring , hopeful and deeply appreciated.
Yes! Fund the teaching of resilience in our schools! Let's redirect away from the current negative coping mechanisms that are being pushed by social media and teachers/counselors who are woefully misinformed and misled. I love this! What a fantastic study. Thank you Dr. Carrion and Dr. Huberman. 🙏♥️
Thank you for this comment. Pure Edge's curricula and resources are free, because we believe every child deserve access to the supports that empower them to thrive. And so do the adults who serve them!
He is amazing! Our curriculum is the subject of his research, and we are fortunate to partner with schools around the U.S., as well as support adults throughout the country and even internationally.
I’m interested in learning more about Women’s health centered around the phases of the menstrual cycle and how that relates to ptsd and adhd. (Follicular, Ovulation, Luteal and Menstrual are the phases I’m referring to)
@@hubermanlabas well as how many girls and women are not hyperactive on the outside, or perceived as hyperactive. I feel that a for a lot of us mothers especially “look” normal as we act like dogs chasing our tails in caring for the never ending tasks of child rearing and housekeeping. And then are told to just calm down or let it go or are presented the solution to “do more” while the kids are at school so you’re more “present” and calm later when everyone needs you to be more present yet spin you around with constant requests and needs in afternoons and evenings. Some of us have adhd look “normal” because what else would you expect in that kind of chaos? Or even better: our hormones cause hyper vigilance, a sort of ptsd simply from caring for children 24/7? I realize this was not a clean question but more of a food for thought. Yet another topic to explore scientifically so that a huge section of the population might feel less crazy. Hormones, child rearing, household managing, in context of an extremely individualistic culture.
Absolutely! And during menopause. Many women are afraid to talk about it and suffer in silence because most of society and most doctors are not educated about it enough. You lose quality of life if you don't know to manage it. My menopause started at 46. Education is key
@hubermanlab I was in a study that used nitro patches I think it was 4:months. My symptoms - I didn't sleep for 13 years was the main, I woke every 1-2 hours d/t night hot flashes. The study showed the connection with the heart.
Right off the bat, I appreciate the comment about children NOT being resilient but on the other hand vulnerable. It is through coregulation with a stable caregiver that resilience is developed and survival stress mitigated. I personally am experiencing this dynamic with my own daughter who endured in utero trauma and medical trauma at birth from prematurity. I believe the “body keeps the score” and we need to recognize symptoms of survival stress in our children that may get imprinted as early as in the womb. Thank you for this podcast. It’s an ever increasingly important topic. We are now beginning to understand that psychological disorders of all kinds and physical illnesses are often born out of early developmental trauma and or shock trauma. The body and mind are in dynamic connection and can’t be effectively treated separately. This is why cognitive oriented modalities of treatment (talk therapy, CBT) may only be so beneficial.
We absolutely agree that children need to be taught skills and equipped with simple tools that help them cultivate resilience. And coregulation is key, which is why we teach adults those same skills!
One of the best episodes. Full of hope. It's fantastic to hear how mindfulness and yoga is implemented in schools and that these actions help children so much!! Keeping my fingers crossed!
as a young scientist, you are my hero and role model Dr. Huberman! i listen to your videos for hours everyday while i work in the lab, you make Mondays so much better!
Thank you. I have CPTSD and struggle with emotional flashbacks and depression. The work of Pete Walker, John Bradshaw and John & Linda Friel has been life saving.
@@paradox8960 😊 Hello, there are several websites that offer advice on how to get started with journaling. The good thing about this is that there are no set rules. It is a private personal diary that only you will write in and that only you will reread, perhaps in the future. So your notebook is only for you and you can write as much as you want. For example, I can tell you how I do it in case it helps you. 😉I write about ten minutes a day, more or less the time it takes me to drink a cup of tea, I always put the date, even if I write four lines, but I like to set the date in case in the future I want to reread or consult exactly something from that period .I like to be constant, so I write every day, even if it is just a line or two , but it is interesting because in the future you will be able to read what you were doing or thinking just that specific day a year ago or more, and I think it is really very valid for everyone, not only people who suffer from depression or anxiety or other pathologies ,it is a magnificent opportunity to express oneself everything that one feels or thinks on that precise day. Your diary becomes your inseparable close friend to whom you explain your problems, your next dreams, your fears, your goals, your personal disappointments or your new friendships, and hopes 😊❤ both happy and sad moments, always write it without problems of there being spelling mistakes or it is not well expressed or written properly ,do not worry, because only You will read it and it will give you more peace of mind when writing it ,knowing that no one is going to judge your writing , so simply write and enjoy yourself your time .Well, there are people who use their phone, but I prefer a notebook and a pen, I feel that I concentrate more, although both ways are good. 😊Think of Journaling as a few minutes a day dedicated to YOU and for you. I'm sure it will go very well for you, everyone talks about the benefits of self-esteem and health, so I encourage you to start today. Greetings. 😊 best wishes 😊
@@paradox8960 just write a few lines every day day with your thoughts and projects ,or how you feel , try to put the date so in a few weeks you might want to reread again and see how you felt those days 👍😊😉
I was 44 when i first mentioned "PTSD" telling about my childhood. After that, I was shocked that i had used it and that it is describing me and my life so well. I tried to remember what was happening in my early childhood, and I remember only childcare facility. Probably, it was so bad at home that i have no memories: dad, mom, grandparents. They must have been making something very wrong. I didn't want to go home after childcare, my mom says. I visited my family this year. The first visit in 15 years. They didn’t change. My kids were shocked by how my own parents treated me. Now, i am home, in a safe place, but everything's a trigger. My own voice triggers me: it reminds me of my mom, and all the trauma she and father caused. I hope to heal because it drives me crazy.
Thank you Dr. Huberman, for bringing these conversations to the public. I'm always learning so much from you and your guests, which has enabled me to cultivate a better life for myself. Thank you so much for the work you do
PTSD from childhood trauma is so complex and dealing with it as an adult from my experience is excruciatingly difficult. I am incredibly grateful there are people like you both that take the time to listen, learn and educate. Your insight is so helpful, thank you 💛
I use all the tools! Meditation, prayer, somatic release, supplements, grounding, hypnosis. Mixed with modern psychology, spiritual practices & lots of education. Keep seeking. Keep forgiving. Keep practicing.
I used to smoke. Smoking reminded me of my loving parents, and believe it or not, was a comfort to me. I quit by sleeping a lot at first, but I forced myself to do jumping jacks and/take myself and usually the dog for a brisk walk. I guess I unknowingly retrained myself. 😀
I believe that if the clear différenciation between PTSD and C- PTSD, as in complex PTSD, had been defined at the beginning of this discussion it would have been clearer.
I mean I would definitely agree in the specific context of diagnosis. But, I would generally disagree with this. I feel like the way they described PTSD (talking about the accumulation of stress etc.) to be a really powerful description. Though thats just my opinion as someone with C-PTSD
Dear Dr. Huberman, Happy Birthday!🎈🎈🎈🎈 I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for all the knowledge and insights you’ve shared through your podcasts and videos. Your work has not only expanded my understanding of the brain and human behavior but also empowered me to make meaningful changes in my own life. Your passion for science, dedication to teaching, and ability to make complex topics accessible have inspired countless people, including me. On your special day, I wish you joy, fulfillment, and continued success in all your endeavors. Thank you for the immense impact you’ve had on my journey. May this year bring you even more reasons to celebrate the incredible work you’re doing! With heartfelt appreciation,
Spent 19 years with a covert narcissist, and I had no idea because I did not have the words. I just thought he was insecure, had a bad childhood, is stressed etc. out of it for 4 years and still can’t see him without having a visceral reaction. PTSD is soooooo Interesting. Thanks for more enlightenment
How did you survive that19 yrs? I've been with a "C N" for 40 years. I'm still in it,my life is a struggle everyday. I wondered how you survived and what tactics were used.
I went through a brutal divorce (or maybe a normal divorce) and lost my money, house and can now only see my son every other weekend (if the mother lets me). I definitely needed this.
I can't imagine how you felt/feel going through all that, really wishing you all the best ❤️ you're son will grow up eventually and be able to make his own choices, he'll understand one day that your absence wasn't your fault
Let me suggest (as a son who went through a brutal divorce) please please please just show him love. Do not position him as a go between. Do not burden him more than he is already burdened by everything that is going on. Just ask him questions. Just listen to his answers. Just love him. Just do fun things. Just raise love and banish hate. You’ll get through this but the damage done will be much less if you can bring love to every precious moment you two are together. I wish you both well.
I don’t understand how come by default mother gets the rights to the children and then the rest of other things (e.g. house) specially in the UK. I had to stay married to my wife despite I really didn’t/don’t enjoy it, but having four children with her, it was too difficult to have life with my children if we divorced.
@@ebi2598 I'm from the UK also. I lost 70% of my money and assets, including losing my house, despite my wife earning more and us only have 1 kid. The UK divorce laws are extremely vague and subjective. And the divorce judges are extremely biased.
This podcast is phenomenal. Thank you both, this is why I became addicted to listening to the Huberman Podcasts; to utilize his knowledge to help impact our youth, for my own tribe as well as my community and in my career. This podcast perfectly helped give the tools and advice needed to directly impact the next generation, the youth that need love, hope and guidance to better their future. One day Mother Earth could be a Utopia! She already was created so, now us humans need to embrace her habit, back to our roots with our tribes and we can utilize technology as a tool to help us get there! If only we could sit around a fire weaving coconut baskets with our loved ones on our utopia of Mother Earth during our gift of life (sounds like a fun time to me). In the mean time I will continue to listen to these and other informative individuals and try to impact our youth. Much love to those out there with the same perseverance, maybe we will all meet one day around that fire weaving our baskets. In the meantime keep fabricating your best life 😊
I’m interested to hear about the differences between anxiety, stress, and trauma, as well as their proper treatments, especially for children. Thanks Dr. Huberman and Dr. Carrión. I’m ready to learn. 📝
Can't wait to watch. I've had some really terrible things occur in my life 2015-2021 where I hardly have any memory of that time at all. I don't even remember my children when they were babies and toddlers (through this time). It's like I was there but not there. As much as I've grown and left a lot of that stuff behind me I still get triggers that throw me off the rails- sometimes for weeks on end. It's insane. I was with my children last weekend and had full blown panic attacks the entire time, something about my children reminds me of this time zone where I'm FUUUUUUUU**D up in the head and I just lose it. Definitely some kind of PTSD and I'd really like to move on from it. I'm not taking SSRIs. This can be done naturally somehow someway I know it can, I've made a lot of progress on my own.
With 6 million followers, each podcast affects different people in different ways. this particular podcast is the second most helpful podcast for me and I have listened to every single one of yours from the beginning. My husband and I had marital stress and I believe what we thought what was ADD was really PTS.. I saw it in adult hood. The straw that broke camels back and at least one of them has brain damage where that processing of information that give-and-take has become dull. Fortunately, he’s so smart and so successful. He got himself into counseling and he’s working so hard on it. He says mom there’s something wrong with me, and for what we did not setting up the home properly and safely for them with the screaming over top of their heads and other things to try to keep water in the house that were just awful
as a child my abuser used to duct tape a rag dipped in vinegar around my mouth and lock me in the closet for hours on end, as an adult now there are times I walk in a room that smells of vinegar and I hit the floor, some 30+ years later, still effects me.
Hello Andrew, I just want to tell you something man. Thank you , you have single handedly helped me overcome negative patterns and habits in my life by simply giving me information. You are a pivotal human being in our society , and never stop this great show that you have created please. It is amazing work ! Much love !
So grateful for this podcast. Dr Carrion listed all that strategies that I've used myself to heal from cptsd, adhd, and chronic burnout. I started yoga practice 1 year ago. For the first year I only went once a week ( ish, depending whether I had a migraine). For the last 6 months I've built up from once a week to 4 to 6 times a week. The difference is remarkable. I've developed a tool kit that I use every day, and built habits in my life such as gratitude, breathwork, grounding and mindfullness. My life has completely changed❤I'm calm, happy, and energetic❤

Tim Fletcher does a deep dive on CPTSD. Highly recommend. Also, his interview with Theo Von was pretty good.
Would you say watching this interview gives any more insights than Tim and the podcast with Theo had? Totally agree that podcast on Theo's podcast was very insightful
He was in a great documentary called Resilience: The Science of Stress and the Biology of Hope by Jamie Redford. It’s on Netflix now. I showed it in like 30 places. It’s about childhood trauma, adult health, and what communities are doing about it.
Just watched a PBS documentary about sleep called “The Mysteries of Sleep” that talked about sleep heightening the PTSD response when individuals went to sleep immediately after a traumatic event, whereas if they did normal tasks for several hours before going to sleep, they suffered less severe PTSD responses. This was demonstrated repeatedly with rats, and the consensus was that more study was needed for people. Sleep helps learning, whereas if you learn something new or novel and have a nap immediately after, individuals retained more of the learning. This was demonstrated with toddlers.
WOW resisting sleep might be a natural self defense reaction to protect our brains? To help us retain less of the days harsh events? Basically self induced memory loss? this might explain why we naturally delay our sleep when feeling anxious or after crazy events such as putting kids to bed (this is meant equally serious and humorous). I’ve always felt guilty for being the last one asleep in my house my whole life. The sleep deprivation has very negative effects but now I’m thinking it might help me stop resisting sleep if I focus on the fact that I am currently safe. That in my life, at the moment, my troubles would be greatly improved by more sleep instead of resisting it. That I don’t need to “forget” my days stresses by doing random stuff for hours instead of going to sleep. Wow.
I’m not sure anyone is unaffected by some past traumas, either personally or generational. I just think some do not recognize it and/or admit it. Dr Carrions work with children is monumental in my mind. The idea of a toolbox is not new but the idea that what should go into that toolbox are things that after practice actually work for that person is a new perspective for me. You always think that the tools others suggest should be your tools It’s very freeing to be able that realize that if its a glass of orange juice that stops the spiral of Anxiety by comforting you in some way, what a win!! I love the idea of yoga and mindfulness being taught to teachers to use in schools with children. I practice both and just learning to ground can settle me. The other thing I find helpful is somatic work; feeling in my body where that tightness or panic is in my body rather than my mind. Then I can slow it by placing my hands in that place,ie, my throat or chest or stomach or wherever. That stops my brain from Spinning. Love love love these podcasts! Love love love these people changing the lives of others in healthy strong ways! Thank you🙏
Thank you for this - I learned some of the symptoms which I thought were ADHD related might actually be trauma related. Can you please do an episode on healing ptsd with adults - covering EMDR and other modalities that show success? I have had to deal with a one-time childhood trauma incident that reared its ugly head in my 40's - and now, I've realised my whole life I've been living on high alert. It's a real thing to grieve a lifetime of having the joy of 'play' and other behaviours robbed from your life.
Thank you for this. I’m truly grateful. I’ve been working on getting access through the VA to regular mental health care for more than two years now and this episode has done more for me than any of the “tide over” help I’ve gotten since my deployment. I’m so grateful to you and Dr. Carrión.
This episode talks a complete guide on PTSD. How many of you would be happy if you have the detailed notes of the podcast so that after listening this podcast you can have and read the important stuff in 10 mins anytime you want. Let me know your response.
Andrew huberman! Question for you: " if there's no ther podcast you'd make from now on(only what's downlodable on UA-cam already), which one would you choose to be the #1 podcast everyone in the world will hear(from the beginning to the end). #2 if you get the chance to make one last podcast before you go(you can have up to 5 guests), what would that podcast be about and who is there? Love your podcast!
I know this is a bit off topic from your usual podcasts, but I would love to hear more about your journey to becoming a scientist and getting your PhD. I would love to hear any advice (and honest truths!) you and your colleagues have on this for people who may be considering this as a career path. Thank you!
Adaptation vs resilience 😍 good inspection Dr C. My bounce back game has been on point, but acceptance and keen mindfulness/awareness is getting me closer to adaptation- bouncing back to a different and better place upon the return. Accurate agility, especially mentally.
such an excellent episode. i dont know where else to pose this question and seeing as you say you read all the comments... just wondering if you could do an episode regarding dysautonomia and its umbrella issues like POTS and MCAS etc?
I’m loving that the medical field is catching on that ADHD looks different in women. I was diagnosed with PTSD, Dissociative Disorder (Depersonalisation/Derealisation), Anxiety, Major Depression, pre menstrual dysphoric disorder, and ARFID… 😂 at the prime age of 38 a psychiatrist looked at my history and said I think you’ve got inattentive ADHD and C-PTSD. A much smaller list and simpler explanation for my mental health issues. Being medicated correctly has changed my eating habits, no more anxiety, no more depression, no more PMDD. Life changing stuff. Now I see ADHD in my twin 8yr old girls and I, hearing this talk, hope that it’s not C-PTSD learnt behaviours from me because my antidepressants didn’t work and I was frozen for so much of their lives
Thank you so very much for this, Andrew and Victor. I feel seen and respected. Keep up the great work and thanks for the love you both share with the world.
Lecture was fascinating and very useful. The guest had a calming voice and set at calming speed of 33 1/3 rpms. Host at 45 or 78. I enjoyed the calming speed...
Every time I think I'm losing my mind or on some sort of extreme physical health decline it's usually because I have skid so far past burnout and the ability to cope with stress but yet I have to keep going, whether it's to maintain the current circumstances or to make a radical change to better my life. I don't know what to do when I'm so burnt out that I don't even care if things get better because I'm too busy just trying to make it through right now. I don't feel that way right this moment but I did earlier in the week to an extreme level and still had to get through several days of work while dealing with it and trying to say stay safe while experiencing severe cognitive and physical impairment.
As a teacher for more than 30 years, I often fought the diagnosis of ADHD which did not seem very scientific to me, based on a simple checklist and the children were sent to one doctor and they always came back with the diagnosis. Pills became a substitute for discipline in the home and at school. Then it becomes an excuse for not being accountable for learning where you can memorize all of the steps for a video game but math facts are deemed not fun and not required. If you look now, almost everyone has a diagnosis of some sort. I agree that there are few mental health services available, especially for low income or immigrant students. I found it interesting to hear scientific solutions to this problem.
If I could wave a magic wand and capture the world's attention for exactly 2 hours, 26 minutes, and 59 seconds, I'd make sure everyone listened to this episode. It’s that powerful!
Loved this episode. Not only because makes me proud to learn that a fellow puertorrican is creating such an amazing work in the mental health field and contributing to our society in such a meaningful way. Social emotional skills and such are becoming increasingly valuable for our generation and future generations to not survive but to be able to live life optimally. Again amazing work
Andrew, please find a guest to talk about Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) also called ‘Parts Work’, a therapy for healing from trauma. I will pay a large amount of money to see this, please. Thank tou
I am grateful that you are covering this, esp the neuro-biological aspects of PTSD. it's exhausting explaining that I can't _control_ the way that I react to triggers (thanks to my trauma therapist in late 2019/early 2020 for this understanding..). 1 Jan 2012 (hmm wary of well, 'trigger warning' content for others) was my PTSD incident. which, as of 2021, deteriorated into fibromyalgia. took me until.. 2018 to get _some_ help - EMDR (only I felt more like a guinea pig for her professional development, can't SAY that can I? bite the only hand who _might- help (instead of traumatizing me more - seriously - more traumatic than original incident, some of this 'help' - that was 2016 - right now - 2024 nothing - again, not since 2020. no help, no support system. banging head against a maze of brick walls.
I have been trying to get my brother to watch your content. He is a fitness freak and highly respects two individuals in the fitness community, Jeff Nippard & Paul Carter. These two individuals post lots of content around fitness and cite studies to back what they say. He said if you host an episode with either of these people he would definitely tune in.
Great discussion as usual. Thank you for sharing this with the world. A topic suggestion- how chronic inflammatory response syndrome impacts a person’s mental health and how it is treated. Dr. Andrew Heyman would be amazing to interview if he would be willing. He’s the head of a functional medicine department, author of a recent textbook on the topic, and leader in training physicians to treat this. He’s been incredibly helpful in my healing. I’m a mental health therapist and it was fascinating to see how this disease impacted my emotional health as much as my physical health. Dr. Jacki Meinhardt (Amen clinic), Dr. Eric Dorninger (Roots and Branches in Colorado), or Dr. Scott McMahon are all other options that would possibly be up for an interview.
Loved this episode. I lived in Menlo Park in 1973-1974 but due to the race riots in local high schools, I opted to attend Ravenswood High School in East Palo Alto. It was a great experience but sadly a few years later they closed the school due to poor attendance and high costs.
Creating Space = Creating boundaries at different distances, a buffer zone, for the things/people that disrupt our inner peace the most. It's a way of quieting the noise to hear what the silence has to say.
Thanks so much for this. Could you make an episode about how children who are born with vision issues are prone to neurological disorders or injuries? And how it could be worked on. The issues then are not trauma centric, or are they? Is there anything that can be done?
Thank you so much for bringing these brilliant people to light, this is such important work, and all of your podcasts combined have shifted my habits, diet, and approach to health, humanity, longevity. You mentioned welcoming input for other topics... in the same vain as this interview, are there experts in your world that focus on specific phobias and/or panic disorders? Both the cause if not immediately identifiable, and the scientific remedy. Background: I’m a 49-year-old professional with a lifelong extreme response to moments of public speaking, no matter the size of the venue. 100 people, 50 people, 4 people around a table. It seems to be getting worse as I get older with no way to control the response in the moment. I feel I’ve tried every tactic fathomable over the last 30 years. I’ve seen psychologists that didn’t really seem to help. I acknowledge the triggers, & I can pinpoint its birth in childhood, with minor traumas, insecurities and issues w/ self-confidence. But I just would love to know what keeps it hanging around. I’m sure perimenopause symptoms are contributing, but any professionals out there that could speak more to this crappy adulthood hindrance would be amazing. (And feel free to point me to another podcast/episode that may already speak to this!) Your willingness to be out here, bringing us this information is amazing, please keep it up!
Great video! You should do a video in the future on treatments for Borderline Personality Disorder. It's something I struggle deeply with as well as ADHD and anxiety, but the BPD and anxiety are a constant struggle. Yoga and meditation have been helping me as well as being mindful of how I speak to myself. I am 22 and I try to take care of myself, but find it hard to find accurate info on the best treatments. Thank you for the videos they really do help.
Excellent and, yay! There is hope for the future. As a retired teacher and person with childhood PTSD/I, I intuited a lot of this and know it is well overdue. Makes me want to want to give up retirement and teach in Puerto Rico! We need to stop focusing on academics and teach the whole child and their parents.
Looking forward to this one knowledge is power and when you’re broken you can’t get enough insight to deal with the demons appreciate what you do have a great day

Hi andrew . You are doing a great job at spreading knowledge with you podcasts . Is there a way you could add persian subtitle to them . Im sure a lot of iranians will aprecviate your work .
Hope you the bests
Thank you for all of your episodes. I did find this particular episode in my personal growth journey. I will definitely f/up with the Q work! 🙏🧠❤️☮️🌏🙏
"Positive thoughts are not automatic, they have to be learned" is such a core insight
Between listening to the episodes with Esther Perel, Dr. Paul Conti, and now Dr. Victor Carrión on PTSD, I think I broke my own heart overnight. I just cried for 20 minutes straight, just feeling the weight of the world. But honestly, between the knowledge from these experts and what we can do in our own homes, I’ve never felt so damn hopeful!!! It made me cry for another 5 minutes, but this time, it was happy tears! When I felt that burst of hope, it was like my whole system found balance for a moment-physically relieved if that makes sense...I want to feel like that all the time, thank you Team Huberman for allowing us to hold onto that sense of peace and hope 🕊️
For some children you’re forced into early adulthood at 11 was told I was the man of the house some of us lose the ability to play And it’s replaced with early maturity which gives you coping skills at an early age but also robbed you of your childhood thanks again appreciate what you do
Thank you for sharing. I noticed I started this behavior after my husband took his life 2016. I’ve now stopped the behavior I am hoping that I haven’t caused to much damage. Both of my kids are adults and seem to be doing well. I am aware that they just may not be able to share with me as they may not see me as supportive. I appreciate you & wishing you well my friend. 🙏🧠❤️☮️🌏🙏 ~Michelle
That's called parentification. When a child is expected to behave like an adult. Often taking care of parents' emotional needs and household responsibilities. ❤
@TheBayAreaBackyardsBee ❤ breath, you had a trauma of your own, too. You tried your best. Give yourself grace. ❤
@@TheEarthsAngels Thank you for the insight knowledge is power and the more I learn the more it helps to get through the day sometimes appreciate you

I fail to understand how can someone improve their content when they are already top notch.
This! Lol!
reframing it as injury over disorder is very therapeutic for me and my brain. I remember the one thing that happened to me about a year and a half ago that changed my brain completely. It’s been an uphill battle mentally for me. Working on newness/ neuroplasticity has been helpful. I remember then this happened saying to my family “my brain my brain.” It truly felt like an injury occurred. I can’t explain it.
It's crazy and in a way therapeutic to read the comments on how many people struggle with PTSD and mental health. Kinda feels I'm not as lonely in all this
As someone who suffered for decades before ever learning about PTSD I have a strong impression that there's plenty more also suffering in silence and are not in the comments.
We're 20 years behind in revealed knowledge bcz of suppressed and withheld information from all levels of health..
.bcz of FDA, NIH, WHO, USDA, CDC, thank God for advocacy of free speech....keep pushing for info availabilty.
I am a therapist and can tell you there are so many people who have PTSD. I like how he used injury because a lot of people seem to have no idea how treatable it is. Injury sounds normalized and like something you can recover from, both true.
Absolutely
I struggle with this as well, you are not alone! ❤️
I am a bilingual speech and language pathologist, Spanish/English, working in a large New York City School district. I have a twenty three year history working in pre-school following a socially emotional model. Our curriculum was based on Leslie Koplow's book Unsmiling Faces. I listen to these podcasts regularly as I am interested in the content, and I try to implement new strategies moving forward. This podcast is particularly touching to me as the children in my school community have gone through and continue to go through many traumatizing situations. Emotional stability and psychology have always been very close to my heart. I feel particularly blessed to work with school-age populations and hope to be a guiding light through their struggles not only educationally but also in life in general. Thank you for these insights.I plan to share them with staff members in my school and friends as well.❤🙏🙌
Thank you for the work you do!
🙏
The evolution of PTSD into PTSI (Injury) resonates as drastically more hopeful. There is the very real sensation that an injury can be healed, while a disorder is something that can be learned to be lived with. Freedom could potentially be expressed as a healed autonomic nervous system where there is a suppleness to the lever between S. Dominance and P. Dominance. So that we can all be more like a dog that can go from deep sleep to hypervigilance, and back again with tremendous ease. Muchísimo gracias a ti Dr. Victor Corriòn and thank you Dr. Huberman for your continued offerings to the global community. Also, in case this is helpful for anyone with elevated cortisol levels before bed, I find swinging in the hammock for at least 15 minutes very helpful. Not sure what the data is on hammock use, but I find it very helpful for relaxing before bed.
Spot on,so true and well said. Thank you. 🙏
Since I began my PTSD journey with reading "The Body Keeps The Score" I have doubted myself, others (pros) have doubted me, I have relapsed with booze, I have relapsed with mania, but looking back, the most progress I have made has been through the workbooks I read on PTSD and CPTSD. Yes, just reading workbooks and doing the exercises. That's all I did, and it has changed my life to the core. So, whatever anyone thinks about me, whatever I think about myself, doing the work that is put forth, has worked for me, so I will continue to do it. And probably for the rest of my life, so thank you for this further contribution to the space.
Which workbooks did you go through?
@@naturehuman the ones by arielle Schwartz and the moral injury workbook using ACT were the most helpful
You're doing great. Body keeps the score also helped me when I quit drinking. The Deepest Well was also helpful.
Please keep doing you.
Just a fabulous presentation. If only we had a simple way to alleviate PTSD. I love to hear about the research that delves into the neural components of PTSD in the hope that this knowledge will promote understanding and effective treatment. Thanks for this.
Was diagnosed with PTSD at 16 after an assault that took place when I was 14. Been living with it for almost 20 years now. But I am happy to say I am thriving! Therapy, faith and a great community saved my life.
Happy birthday Andrew! Thank you for everything you do, thank you for being here, thank you... We don't have enough words to tell you how much we appreciate you
Thank you. I am 46 years old and have undergone therapy for Complex Post-PTSD, developed in childhood. I couldn't be more grateful. Watching that conference helps me understand myself better and approach the symptoms that still arise with more compassion.
I grew up facing a lot of challenges-moving from a third-world country, growing up in 4 different countries/3 different continents in my first 16 years of life, learning 4 new languages, and dealing with religious abuse as well as extreme racism. I NEVER thought of it as trauma (as we don't believe in such things back home and see emotions as weakness) until I started understanding it through Huberman’s podcast. I binge listened to the entire podcast. lt wasn’t until I started picturing my kids going through the same challenges I did at their ages that I realized the weight of it all!!! It broke me, and for the first time, I truly felt the emotions I had buried! This reflection has helped me heal in ways I never expected ♥️ Mister Huberman, Bless you and both your parents for giving us you ❤️🩹🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️ and thank you to your team for making all of this possible.
So glad you went through that process for yourself and for your beautiful children who didn't and who now have an amazing parent and will have the most amazing childhood and grow into fantastic adults x
@@rsh793 thank you!!! I wish that for all our children! 🤍🤍🤍
I especially loved Dr Carrión’s mention of “belonging” and being “good citizens”, I like this departure from longevity and individualism that seems to be very pervasive in these spaces. His message is inspiring , hopeful and deeply appreciated.
He's a deeply inspiring person, and we are proud of his research on our curriculum.
Yes! Fund the teaching of resilience in our schools! Let's redirect away from the current negative coping mechanisms that are being pushed by social media and teachers/counselors who are woefully misinformed and misled. I love this! What a fantastic study. Thank you Dr. Carrion and Dr. Huberman. 🙏♥️
Thank you for this comment. Pure Edge's curricula and resources are free, because we believe every child deserve access to the supports that empower them to thrive. And so do the adults who serve them!
What a great investment! Into our future generation!
What an amazing human Dr Carrion is! The organoids study blew my mind! I truly hope to see his work expand beyond Puerto Rico.
He is amazing! Our curriculum is the subject of his research, and we are fortunate to partner with schools around the U.S., as well as support adults throughout the country and even internationally.
Andrew, everyone has a voice. But it's your soothing tone in delivery that makes us all know, we're going to be okay. Thank you 🙏
I’m interested in learning more about Women’s health centered around the phases of the menstrual cycle and how that relates to ptsd and adhd. (Follicular, Ovulation, Luteal and Menstrual are the phases I’m referring to)
You raise a very interesting set of questions and it’s some thing that I will look into and find an expert.
@@hubermanlabas well as how many girls and women are not hyperactive on the outside, or perceived as hyperactive. I feel that a for a lot of us mothers especially “look” normal as we act like dogs chasing our tails in caring for the never ending tasks of child rearing and housekeeping. And then are told to just calm down or let it go or are presented the solution to “do more” while the kids are at school so you’re more “present” and calm later when everyone needs you to be more present yet spin you around with constant requests and needs in afternoons and evenings.
Some of us have adhd look “normal” because what else would you expect in that kind of chaos? Or even better: our hormones cause hyper vigilance, a sort of ptsd simply from caring for children 24/7?
I realize this was not a clean question but more of a food for thought. Yet another topic to explore scientifically so that a huge section of the population might feel less crazy. Hormones, child rearing, household managing, in context of an extremely individualistic culture.
Absolutely! And during menopause. Many women are afraid to talk about it and suffer in silence because most of society and most doctors are not educated about it enough. You lose quality of life if you don't know to manage it. My menopause started at 46. Education is key
@@hubermanlabyes please!!!!
@hubermanlab I was in a study that used nitro patches I think it was 4:months. My symptoms - I didn't sleep for 13 years was the main, I woke every 1-2 hours d/t night hot flashes. The study showed the connection with the heart.
Right off the bat, I appreciate the comment about children NOT being resilient but on the other hand vulnerable. It is through coregulation with a stable caregiver that resilience is developed and survival stress mitigated. I personally am experiencing this dynamic with my own daughter who endured in utero trauma and medical trauma at birth from prematurity. I believe the “body keeps the score” and we need to recognize symptoms of survival stress in our children that may get imprinted as early as in the womb. Thank you for this podcast. It’s an ever increasingly important topic. We are now beginning to understand that psychological disorders of all kinds and physical illnesses are often born out of early developmental trauma and or shock trauma. The body and mind are in dynamic connection and can’t be effectively treated separately. This is why cognitive oriented modalities of treatment (talk therapy, CBT) may only be so beneficial.
We absolutely agree that children need to be taught skills and equipped with simple tools that help them cultivate resilience. And coregulation is key, which is why we teach adults those same skills!
❤
Often times we are told early maturity are great traits but after watching this. Just taught me that it is a cue for childhood PTSD
One of the best episodes. Full of hope. It's fantastic to hear how mindfulness and yoga is implemented in schools and that these actions help children so much!! Keeping my fingers crossed!
Thank you for your support!
as a young scientist, you are my hero and role model Dr. Huberman! i listen to your videos for hours everyday while i work in the lab, you make Mondays so much better!
Thank you to Dr. Huberman and the brilliant Dr. Carrión for highlighting our work with youth and the adults who serve them!
Thank you. I have CPTSD and struggle with emotional flashbacks and depression. The work of Pete Walker, John Bradshaw and John & Linda Friel has been life saving.
I found that keeping a daily journal and running every morning helped me through it.
Can you please tell how to do journaling? Like I don't know how to start. Can u please suggest me something
It could be as simple as writing down 3 things you’re grateful for and 3 things you’re proud of yourself for on each day
@@paradox8960
😊
Hello, there are several websites that offer advice on how to get started with journaling. The good thing about this is that there are no set rules. It is a private personal diary that only you will write in and that only you will reread, perhaps in the future. So your notebook is only for you and you can write as much as you want. For example, I can tell you how I do it in case it helps you. 😉I write about ten minutes a day, more or less the time it takes me to drink a cup of tea, I always put the date, even if I write four lines, but I like to set the date in case in the future I want to reread or consult exactly something from that period .I like to be constant, so I write every day, even if it is just a line or two , but it is interesting because in the future you will be able to read what you were doing or thinking just that specific day a year ago or more, and I think it is really very valid for everyone, not only people who suffer from depression or anxiety or other pathologies ,it is a magnificent opportunity to express oneself everything that one feels or thinks on that precise day. Your diary becomes your inseparable close friend to whom you explain your problems, your next dreams, your fears, your goals, your personal disappointments or your new friendships, and hopes 😊❤ both happy and sad moments, always write it without problems of there being spelling mistakes or it is not well expressed or written properly ,do not worry, because only You will read it and it will give you more peace of mind when writing it ,knowing that no one is going to judge your writing , so simply write and enjoy yourself your time .Well, there are people who use their phone, but I prefer a notebook and a pen, I feel that I concentrate more, although both ways are good. 😊Think of Journaling as a few minutes a day dedicated to YOU and for you. I'm sure it will go very well for you, everyone talks about the benefits of self-esteem and health, so I encourage you to start today. Greetings.
😊 best wishes 😊
Reading that others are trying the best they can as I do make me feel less lonely and encourage me to keep going, no matter what. Thanks for sharing.
@@paradox8960 just write a few lines every day day with your thoughts and projects ,or how you feel , try to put the date so in a few weeks you might want to reread again and see how you felt those days 👍😊😉
I was 44 when i first mentioned "PTSD" telling about my childhood. After that, I was shocked that i had used it and that it is describing me and my life so well. I tried to remember what was happening in my early childhood, and I remember only childcare facility. Probably, it was so bad at home that i have no memories: dad, mom, grandparents. They must have been making something very wrong. I didn't want to go home after childcare, my mom says.
I visited my family this year. The first visit in 15 years. They didn’t change. My kids were shocked by how my own parents treated me. Now, i am home, in a safe place, but everything's a trigger. My own voice triggers me: it reminds me of my mom, and all the trauma she and father caused.
I hope to heal because it drives me crazy.
Thank you Dr. Huberman, for bringing these conversations to the public. I'm always learning so much from you and your guests, which has enabled me to cultivate a better life for myself. Thank you so much for the work you do
PTSD from childhood trauma is so complex and dealing with it as an adult from my experience is excruciatingly difficult. I am incredibly grateful there are people like you both that take the time to listen, learn and educate. Your insight is so helpful, thank you 💛
I use all the tools!
Meditation, prayer, somatic release, supplements, grounding, hypnosis.
Mixed with modern psychology, spiritual practices & lots of education.
Keep seeking. Keep forgiving. Keep practicing.
Are you happier than 10 years ago after all of this?
I used to smoke. Smoking reminded me of my loving parents, and believe it or not, was a comfort to me.
I quit by sleeping a lot at first, but I forced myself to do jumping jacks and/take myself and usually the dog for a brisk walk.
I guess I unknowingly retrained myself. 😀
I believe that if the clear différenciation between PTSD and C- PTSD, as in complex PTSD, had been defined at the beginning of this discussion it would have been clearer.
From one with C-PTSD just tuning in, thank you for this insight as I enter the room
Thanks a lot!
Could you please tell me where C-PTSD is discussed, so I don't have to watch the whole thing myself? Thanks!
I mean I would definitely agree in the specific context of diagnosis. But, I would generally disagree with this. I feel like the way they described PTSD (talking about the accumulation of stress etc.) to be a really powerful description.
Though thats just my opinion as someone with C-PTSD
An appropriate, heavenly conversation with resources to heal our culture. Thank you for your efforts.
Dear Dr. Huberman,
Happy Birthday!🎈🎈🎈🎈
I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for all the knowledge and insights you’ve shared through your podcasts and videos. Your work has not only expanded my understanding of the brain and human behavior but also empowered me to make meaningful changes in my own life. Your passion for science, dedication to teaching, and ability to make complex topics accessible have inspired countless people, including me.
On your special day, I wish you joy, fulfillment, and continued success in all your endeavors. Thank you for the immense impact you’ve had on my journey. May this year bring you even more reasons to celebrate the incredible work you’re doing!
With heartfelt appreciation,
Spent 19 years with a covert narcissist, and I had no idea because I did not have the words. I just thought he was insecure, had a bad childhood, is stressed etc. out of it for 4 years and still can’t see him without having a visceral reaction. PTSD is soooooo Interesting. Thanks for more enlightenment
How did you survive that19 yrs? I've been with a "C N" for 40 years. I'm still in it,my life is a struggle everyday. I wondered how you survived and what tactics were used.
I went through a brutal divorce (or maybe a normal divorce) and lost my money, house and can now only see my son every other weekend (if the mother lets me). I definitely needed this.
I can't imagine how you felt/feel going through all that, really wishing you all the best ❤️
you're son will grow up eventually and be able to make his own choices, he'll understand one day that your absence wasn't your fault
Let me suggest (as a son who went through a brutal divorce) please please please just show him love. Do not position him as a go between. Do not burden him more than he is already burdened by everything that is going on. Just ask him questions. Just listen to his answers. Just love him. Just do fun things. Just raise love and banish hate. You’ll get through this but the damage done will be much less if you can bring love to every precious moment you two are together. I wish you both well.
I don’t understand how come by default mother gets the rights to the children and then the rest of other things (e.g. house) specially in the UK.
I had to stay married to my wife despite I really didn’t/don’t enjoy it, but having four children with her, it was too difficult to have life with my children if we divorced.
@@ebi2598 I'm from the UK also. I lost 70% of my money and assets, including losing my house, despite my wife earning more and us only have 1 kid. The UK divorce laws are extremely vague and subjective. And the divorce judges are extremely biased.
As someone with PTSD, thank you so much for this podcast. I'm overflowing with gratitude. 🌱🌈🌞
This podcast is phenomenal. Thank you both, this is why I became addicted to listening to the Huberman Podcasts; to utilize his knowledge to help impact our youth, for my own tribe as well as my community and in my career. This podcast perfectly helped give the tools and advice needed to directly impact the next generation, the youth that need love, hope and guidance to better their future. One day Mother Earth could be a Utopia! She already was created so, now us humans need to embrace her habit, back to our roots with our tribes and we can utilize technology as a tool to help us get there! If only we could sit around a fire weaving coconut baskets with our loved ones on our utopia of Mother Earth during our gift of life (sounds like a fun time to me). In the mean time I will continue to listen to these and other informative individuals and try to impact our youth. Much love to those out there with the same perseverance, maybe we will all meet one day around that fire weaving our baskets. In the meantime keep fabricating your best life 😊
I’m interested to hear about the differences between anxiety, stress, and trauma, as well as their proper treatments, especially for children. Thanks Dr. Huberman and Dr. Carrión. I’m ready to learn. 📝
Happy birthday Andrew! Thank you for your hard work! You are changing the lives of many people. Have a great day!
Can't wait to watch. I've had some really terrible things occur in my life 2015-2021 where I hardly have any memory of that time at all. I don't even remember my children when they were babies and toddlers (through this time). It's like I was there but not there. As much as I've grown and left a lot of that stuff behind me I still get triggers that throw me off the rails- sometimes for weeks on end. It's insane. I was with my children last weekend and had full blown panic attacks the entire time, something about my children reminds me of this time zone where I'm FUUUUUUUU**D up in the head and I just lose it. Definitely some kind of PTSD and I'd really like to move on from it. I'm not taking SSRIs. This can be done naturally somehow someway I know it can, I've made a lot of progress on my own.
Look into neurofeedback
With 6 million followers, each podcast affects different people in different ways. this particular podcast is the second most helpful podcast for me and I have listened to every single one of yours from the beginning. My husband and I had marital stress and I believe what we thought what was ADD was really PTS.. I saw it in adult hood. The straw that broke camels back and at least one of them has brain damage where that processing of information that give-and-take has become dull. Fortunately, he’s so smart and so successful. He got himself into counseling and he’s working so hard on it. He says mom there’s something wrong with me, and for what we did not setting up the home properly and safely for them with the screaming over top of their heads and other things to try to keep water in the house that were just awful
Happy Hubermanday, everyone! Can ´t wait to learn from both Andrew and Victor!
I like that 😊 Happy Hubermanday too 👍😉
What? Is today the anniversary of the podcast?
Andrew, thank you for for opening space and bringing experts to discuss such important topics. Really grateful for you. ❤
Something about this guys voice and tone that is so calming
as a child my abuser used to duct tape a rag dipped in vinegar around my mouth and lock me in the closet for hours on end, as an adult now there are times I walk in a room that smells of vinegar and I hit the floor, some 30+ years later, still effects me.
Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters. ☀️ Thank you Dr. Victor Carrión.

Hello Andrew, I just want to tell you something man. Thank you , you have single handedly helped me overcome negative patterns and habits in my life by simply giving me information. You are a pivotal human being in our society , and never stop this great show that you have created please. It is amazing work ! Much love !
Oh and can we just pause and appreciate how genuinely excited Huberman got over the professor collaborations? 😅 It was such a wholesome moment!
I’ve had nightmares almost every night for the past 15 years so I can’t wait to hear this.
I'm praying for you!

@@Cathy-xi8cb…..thank you ,this sounds very interesting…going to check out out ..
Hope everyone is happy and healthy, childhood is tough but life doesn't have to be. Thanks to these gents for awareness.
So grateful for this podcast. Dr Carrion listed all that strategies that I've used myself to heal from cptsd, adhd, and chronic burnout. I started yoga practice 1 year ago. For the first year I only went once a week ( ish, depending whether I had a migraine). For the last 6 months I've built up from once a week to 4 to 6 times a week. The difference is remarkable. I've developed a tool kit that I use every day, and built habits in my life such as gratitude, breathwork, grounding and mindfullness. My life has completely changed❤I'm calm, happy, and energetic❤
Tim Fletcher does a deep dive on CPTSD. Highly recommend. Also, his interview with Theo Von was pretty good.
Would you say watching this interview gives any more insights than Tim and the podcast with Theo had? Totally agree that podcast on Theo's podcast was very insightful
He was in a great documentary called Resilience: The Science of Stress and the Biology of Hope by Jamie Redford. It’s on Netflix now. I showed it in like 30 places. It’s about childhood trauma, adult health, and what communities are doing about it.
Very helpful video, a lot of people struggling without the tools to help. Thank you Andrew and Dr Victor
Just watched a PBS documentary about sleep called “The Mysteries of Sleep” that talked about sleep heightening the PTSD response when individuals went to sleep immediately after a traumatic event, whereas if they did normal tasks for several hours before going to sleep, they suffered less severe PTSD responses.
This was demonstrated repeatedly with rats, and the consensus was that more study was needed for people.
Sleep helps learning, whereas if you learn something new or novel and have a nap immediately after, individuals retained more of the learning. This was demonstrated with toddlers.
WOW resisting sleep might be a natural self defense reaction to protect our brains? To help us retain less of the days harsh events? Basically self induced memory loss?
this might explain why we naturally delay our sleep when feeling anxious or after crazy events such as putting kids to bed (this is meant equally serious and humorous). I’ve always felt guilty for being the last one asleep in my house my whole life. The sleep deprivation has very negative effects but now I’m thinking it might help me stop resisting sleep if I focus on the fact that I am currently safe. That in my life, at the moment, my troubles would be greatly improved by more sleep instead of resisting it. That I don’t need to “forget” my days stresses by doing random stuff for hours instead of going to sleep. Wow.
I’m not sure anyone is unaffected by some past traumas, either personally or generational. I just think some do not recognize it and/or admit it. Dr Carrions work with children is monumental in my mind. The idea of a toolbox is not new but the idea that what should go into that toolbox are things that after practice actually work for that person is a new perspective for me. You always think that the tools others suggest should be your tools It’s very freeing to be able that realize that if its a
glass of orange juice that stops the spiral of
Anxiety by comforting you in some way, what a win!! I love the idea of yoga and mindfulness being taught to teachers to use in schools with children. I practice both and just learning to ground can settle me. The other thing I find helpful is somatic work; feeling in my body where that tightness or panic is in my body rather than my mind. Then I can slow it by placing my hands in that place,ie, my throat or chest or stomach or wherever. That stops my brain from
Spinning.
Love love love these podcasts! Love love love these people changing the lives of others in healthy strong ways! Thank you🙏
I really appreciate how beautifully and concisely you introduce your guests.
A Dr educating me about "lack of sleep is biggest killer" in 2013 or so totally changed my life and helped my well-being so much
Thank you for this - I learned some of the symptoms which I thought were ADHD related might actually be trauma related. Can you please do an episode on healing ptsd with adults - covering EMDR and other modalities that show success? I have had to deal with a one-time childhood trauma incident that reared its ugly head in my 40's - and now, I've realised my whole life I've been living on high alert. It's a real thing to grieve a lifetime of having the joy of 'play' and other behaviours robbed from your life.
Thank you for this. I’m truly grateful. I’ve been working on getting access through the VA to regular mental health care for more than two years now and this episode has done more for me than any of the “tide over” help I’ve gotten since my deployment. I’m so grateful to you and Dr. Carrión.
This episode talks a complete guide on PTSD.
How many of you would be happy if you have the detailed notes of the podcast so that after listening this podcast you can have and read the important stuff in 10 mins anytime you want.
Let me know your response.
Thank you for this episode
Andrew huberman!
Question for you: " if there's no ther podcast you'd make from now on(only what's downlodable on UA-cam already), which one would you choose to be the #1 podcast everyone in the world will hear(from the beginning to the end).
#2 if you get the chance to make one last podcast before you go(you can have up to 5 guests), what would that podcast be about and who is there?
Love your podcast!
Wow!! Thank you for this gem 💎 Especially how children are not resilient. Children are vulnerable 💯
Love your work and dedication to the world.
I know this is a bit off topic from your usual podcasts, but I would love to hear more about your journey to becoming a scientist and getting your PhD. I would love to hear any advice (and honest truths!) you and your colleagues have on this for people who may be considering this as a career path. Thank you!
Adaptation vs resilience 😍 good inspection Dr C.
My bounce back game has been on point, but acceptance and keen mindfulness/awareness is getting me closer to adaptation- bouncing back to a different and better place upon the return. Accurate agility, especially mentally.
Thank you for this episode. It is deeply meaningful to me. You continue to provide content that helps me overcome what seemed impossible.
such an excellent episode. i dont know where else to pose this question and seeing as you say you read all the comments... just wondering if you could do an episode regarding dysautonomia and its umbrella issues like POTS and MCAS etc?
I’m loving that the medical field is catching on that ADHD looks different in women. I was diagnosed with PTSD, Dissociative Disorder (Depersonalisation/Derealisation), Anxiety, Major Depression, pre menstrual dysphoric disorder, and ARFID… 😂 at the prime age of 38 a psychiatrist looked at my history and said I think you’ve got inattentive ADHD and C-PTSD. A much smaller list and simpler explanation for my mental health issues. Being medicated correctly has changed my eating habits, no more anxiety, no more depression, no more PMDD. Life changing stuff. Now I see ADHD in my twin 8yr old girls and I, hearing this talk, hope that it’s not C-PTSD learnt behaviours from me because my antidepressants didn’t work and I was frozen for so much of their lives
Thank you so very much for this, Andrew and Victor. I feel seen and respected.
Keep up the great work and thanks for the love you both share with the world.
Lecture was fascinating and very useful. The guest had a calming voice and set at calming speed of 33 1/3 rpms. Host at 45 or 78. I enjoyed the calming speed...
Every time I think I'm losing my mind or on some sort of extreme physical health decline it's usually because I have skid so far past burnout and the ability to cope with stress but yet I have to keep going, whether it's to maintain the current circumstances or to make a radical change to better my life. I don't know what to do when I'm so burnt out that I don't even care if things get better because I'm too busy just trying to make it through right now. I don't feel that way right this moment but I did earlier in the week to an extreme level and still had to get through several days of work while dealing with it and trying to say stay safe while experiencing severe cognitive and physical impairment.
As someone from Ukraine, I have recently found myself deeply interested in this topic. Thanks for the precious information and advices!
You are god send Mr. Huberman. I just can't thank you enough for all your wonderful content :)
Thank you Dr. Huberman, for having Dr. Carrion. Love the tool box concept.
As a teacher for more than 30 years, I often fought the diagnosis of ADHD which did not seem very scientific to me, based on a simple checklist and the children were sent to one doctor and they always came back with the diagnosis. Pills became a substitute for discipline in the home and at school. Then it becomes an excuse for not being accountable for learning where you can memorize all of the steps for a video game but math facts are deemed not fun and not required. If you look now, almost everyone has a diagnosis of some sort. I agree that there are few mental health services available, especially for low income or immigrant students. I found it interesting to hear scientific solutions to this problem.
This guy is going to heal millions if not trillion of people
There isn’t even a trillion people on the planet so that ain’t happening .

Thank you for what you do Andrew Huberman. And Happy Birthday! Wishing you great health, love, peace, happiness, and fun. 🤗🎉
If I could wave a magic wand and capture the world's attention for exactly 2 hours, 26 minutes, and 59 seconds, I'd make sure everyone listened to this episode. It’s that powerful!
Loved this episode. Not only because makes me proud to learn that a fellow puertorrican is creating such an amazing work in the mental health field and contributing to our society in such a meaningful way. Social emotional skills and such are becoming increasingly valuable for our generation and future generations to not survive but to be able to live life optimally. Again amazing work
Andrew, please find a guest to talk about Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) also called ‘Parts Work’, a therapy for healing from trauma.
I will pay a large amount of money to see this, please.
Thank tou
IFS yes!
Dr Richard Scwartz is the founder. There are many interviews with him, some with demonstrations, free on UA-cam.
Dr. Aimie apigian.
I’ve had all these problems for 48 years, I don’t think I can become unbroken at this point. I don’t know what that would even be like.
Dr. Carrión is such a brilliant man! I really enjoyed this episode. Thank you for your work, Dr. Carrión! I'm working on my toolbox ATM.
I am grateful that you are covering this, esp the neuro-biological aspects of PTSD. it's exhausting explaining that I can't _control_ the way that I react to triggers (thanks to my trauma therapist in late 2019/early 2020 for this understanding..). 1 Jan 2012 (hmm wary of well, 'trigger warning' content for others) was my PTSD incident.
which, as of 2021, deteriorated into fibromyalgia. took me until.. 2018 to get _some_ help - EMDR (only I felt more like a guinea pig for her professional development, can't SAY that can I? bite the only hand who _might- help (instead of traumatizing me more - seriously - more traumatic than original incident, some of this 'help' - that was 2016
- right now - 2024 nothing - again, not since 2020. no help, no support system. banging head against a maze of brick walls.
I have been trying to get my brother to watch your content. He is a fitness freak and highly respects two individuals in the fitness community, Jeff Nippard & Paul Carter. These two individuals post lots of content around fitness and cite studies to back what they say. He said if you host an episode with either of these people he would definitely tune in.
Great discussion as usual. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
A topic suggestion- how chronic inflammatory response syndrome impacts a person’s mental health and how it is treated. Dr. Andrew Heyman would be amazing to interview if he would be willing. He’s the head of a functional medicine department, author of a recent textbook on the topic, and leader in training physicians to treat this. He’s been incredibly helpful in my healing. I’m a mental health therapist and it was fascinating to see how this disease impacted my emotional health as much as my physical health.
Dr. Jacki Meinhardt (Amen clinic), Dr. Eric Dorninger (Roots and Branches in Colorado), or Dr. Scott McMahon are all other options that would possibly be up for an interview.
Loved this episode. I lived in Menlo Park in 1973-1974 but due to the race riots in local high schools, I opted to attend Ravenswood High School in East Palo Alto. It was a great experience but sadly a few years later they closed the school due to poor attendance and high costs.
Creating Space = Creating boundaries at different distances, a buffer zone, for the things/people that disrupt our inner peace the most. It's a way of quieting the noise to hear what the silence has to say.
Thanks so much for this. Could you make an episode about how children who are born with vision issues are prone to neurological disorders or injuries? And how it could be worked on. The issues then are not trauma centric, or are they? Is there anything that can be done?
Helpful and interesting as always. Thank you so much for the tools. Episodes on mental health rock 🙌
Great episode! Kindly make an episode on: How to Heal from OCD.
Thank you so much for bringing these brilliant people to light, this is such important work, and all of your podcasts combined have shifted my habits, diet, and approach to health, humanity, longevity.
You mentioned welcoming input for other topics... in the same vain as this interview, are there experts in your world that focus on specific phobias and/or panic disorders? Both the cause if not immediately identifiable, and the scientific remedy. Background: I’m a 49-year-old professional with a lifelong extreme response to moments of public speaking, no matter the size of the venue. 100 people, 50 people, 4 people around a table. It seems to be getting worse as I get older with no way to control the response in the moment. I feel I’ve tried every tactic fathomable over the last 30 years. I’ve seen psychologists that didn’t really seem to help. I acknowledge the triggers, & I can pinpoint its birth in childhood, with minor traumas, insecurities and issues w/ self-confidence. But I just would love to know what keeps it hanging around. I’m sure perimenopause symptoms are contributing, but any professionals out there that could speak more to this crappy adulthood hindrance would be amazing. (And feel free to point me to another podcast/episode that may already speak to this!) Your willingness to be out here, bringing us this information is amazing, please keep it up!
Amazing for people I know, who needs this.
Great video! You should do a video in the future on treatments for Borderline Personality Disorder. It's something I struggle deeply with as well as ADHD and anxiety, but the BPD and anxiety are a constant struggle. Yoga and meditation have been helping me as well as being mindful of how I speak to myself. I am 22 and I try to take care of myself, but find it hard to find accurate info on the best treatments. Thank you for the videos they really do help.
DBT was made...for you! Find someone skilled in its use.
Excellent and, yay! There is hope for the future. As a retired teacher and person with childhood PTSD/I, I intuited a lot of this and know it is well overdue. Makes me want to want to give up retirement and teach in Puerto Rico! We need to stop focusing on academics and teach the whole child and their parents.
A positive social support system where your trauma is validated is a huge predictor of whether someone will develop PTSD as well as the severity
Looking forward to this one knowledge is power and when you’re broken you can’t get enough insight to deal with the demons appreciate what you do have a great day
The actual podcast starts at 6:22
