Great video, Robb! Such conviction in your voice! My inner child got very fearful last night after the news that the first lady and Whoopi Goldberg have Covid. So the belief that my inner child has is that I don’t deserve to be healthy and happy because I’ve been bad and the worst is bound to happen because I deserve it. So I had to do a lot of sitting and allowing the fear to rise to the surface and talk to me. And then it slowly dissolved. This morning I had more insight from it as I ask the fear questions in my journal and found answers on a deeper level that has set me free today. It would be great if you would do a video on fear of re-infection and long Covid. My fear was telling me that I am going to be facing a future of reinfections every year as Covid mutates and resurfaces every winter. So any thoughts on that would just add to my healing. You are doing a great job!
Thank you so much for sharing! I hope people read this. This vulnerability gives others the courage and blueprint on how to be vulnerable with themselves and approach self love with our childhood trauma. Good idea with the video topic. Me and my wife will add it on our list. Thank you again !🙏
Rob, you explained the correlation between LC, childhood trauma, beliefs and self-love so easily and in a simple manner, I loved it! These are things I’ve been working on as you know, but this video serves as a reminder and a checklist of what to do when I forget lol. Thank you for the encouraging words at the end, I needed those today! ❤
You’re welcome! Hope it helped today. You got this Maria!!!💪💪💪 I’m excited to see you soon. Even when u don’t feel like you are making progress, you are making progress. Don’t believe everything you feel.
@@Roberto-Escobar Oh I'm sure I'm making progress, it just gets hard handling emotions with PMS on top of that! Just had an emotional day yesterday but I'm feeling much better today thanks to your advice of not believing everything I feel, it's all lies lol!
This is all true. Our beliefs, feelings that our nervous system remember all the emotions. For me, stress pressure while working during pandemic in the hosp. Jabs, infected for mny times. Fears for the family, financial, even relationship so much negative that over stimulate my nerves. Im slowly doing your advice and go back my old me as a positive person. Thank you it helps a lot. Somatic exercise as well.
ROB THIS IS AMAZING - TRUTH! and connecting so many dots for me! Thank you for your time and passion to help us who are on the healing path behind you. Coincidence? A few weeks ago I listed from the time I was 8 years old all the traumas I could think of following the book Unlearn your Pain -Howard Schubiner) and BAM they aligned with me getting sick 😷 almost every single one. For all the reasons you said people pleasing, perfectionism (baby boomer era) totally spot on - following you and Raelan Agle - I think that’s where I first heard your story? If not, you need to be on her channel! Appreciate you so much! And your baby is adorable ❤. I am a child of God and I AM WORTHY OF LOVE! Grateful for reminder 😊
YES! so happy you are connecting the dots. It is making sense for you. huge Epiphany when it hit me as well. I LOVEEE HIS BOOK> I recommend the people I coach the exercises he has in that book. Yes that was me on Raglan's channel. Thank you baby is chunky and gorgeous. You are a child of God he says you are worthy.......your standards cannot be higher than his. SO you know you are worthy of love and belonging. And when society or people around you make you feel unworthy of love, they are lying. Listen to the man upstairs. ❤️
Oh wow. This video is totally amazing. You are truly wonderful and speak such truth. I can never hear your message enough as it brings me back into my heart full of hope and courage to keep going. I can honestly say that since you have been helping me I AM recovering. So grateful for you Rob. For your passion in helping us all x thank you brother ❤❤
Thank you so much Rob, I love when you said Im here to support you- that meant a lot!🙏❤. I just realised I am a people pleaser cos I like harmony and peace with people around me. I put boundaries in place but I am living with the discomfort when I see these people including family.
Me and wife spend hours every week (even with a. crying baby) brainstorming, trying to find better and bigger ideas to help all of you. I hope it brings some relief mentally and gives you some hope and practical tips to get better. I know its tough with family, treat interaction with family members like a stressful event, do you polyvagal exercise right after you interact with them.
@@Roberto-Escobar thank you so much for the tip. Should I do polyvagal exercises right before or after I interact with them? God bless you and your family🙏❤❤❤
Rob recent to your ch. im 70 fit lift weights etc. hvy childhood trauma: belt beatings 1950s-60s mother created huge health anxiety. Had previous mind body thru the yrs: constipation panic attacks then prostititus. Conquered all. Covid jan 2022. Had some LC stuff but gone. Except! Mild numb feet. My dad died 12-31-23 at 97. He was an ass. Now my legs and feet burn!!! Numbish & burn after he died had severe neck pain. Now burning from feet to thighs Love your posts. Sincere
Im sorry to hear about the trauma you have endured. it sad to see that many parents thought this was the correct thing to do to their kids. I love your attitude! Just like you conquered all that, you will continue to conquer this. ❤️
Tons of childhood trauma. Definitely suppressed it for many years and with Covid our fears and trauma definitely arised. Thank you for speaking about this!!!
I struggled so much with this, but once I learned this it changed my life completely. I felt peace within my skin. No amount of money can replace that.
@@brandigayle8775 I had something called small nerve fiber neuropathy, it's extremely painful. Didn't have psychosis. Had depression, dissociation, ptsd, but these things (except for ptsd) was trigger by the nervous system being in shut down. It will mess with your hormones to prevent u from moving
I also had small fiber neuropathy as well. I did the skin punch test for it. I don’t notice tingling and numbness as much though I was told to back and retest I decided not to since it’s a least of my problem now. How are your bones and joints ? Seems as though it progressed to that inflammed. I had Covid again and the flu so had a bit of a set back with low energy and inflammation.
@@brandigayle8775 I have no more body pains at all. the only time I get pain again is if I am confronted with having to do something I absolutely dont want to do.
I think it will always be a struggle. I think it's about struggling less and less and getting to a point where you just love you for you, including your imperfections. The problem is we continue to listen to our parents voice (inside of us) and believe those stories to be true and measure ourselves today based on those rules. When you can just change the rules today, and be aligned with those rules. ❤️
I think it's a fact that not everyone will manifest their childhood trauma to something more positive. But can they? Who am I to tell others they can't? Isn't that their job to tell themselves the they cant or can? This is tough because I have a very close friend who has a lot of childhood trauma and despite being financially successful doesnt feel it at all. All I try to do is inspire. I personally believe everybody can.......but is the desire there........do they believe they are worthy to manifest positive things? and if they feel deep shame (feelings of worthlessness) where does that emotion root cause come from? LOTS of work. I am wrong about this......but I am too stubborn and overly optimistic to give up on people.
@@Roberto-Escobar The statement "Some people just can't be helped" is something I don't want to believe but it almost seems true in some people. I'm not doctor but I do my best and sometimes my best just isn't good enough. It's a hard thing to accept somebody you care about is suffering when the answer could seem somewhat transparent to your self. I've also had several friends who lacked maternal support as children which caused them to to struggle with codependency and treating the woman they're dating like a mother as an attempt to fill the void.
Thanks Rob great content again! I wonder if you do your own edits or your wife? Interested in knowing how you do those jump and j cuts! Super spot on! ❤ from a fellow LHauler and editing newb lol.
I absolutely do NOT do ANY of my editing lololol!!!! It requires a lot of patience and skill to do editing. My wife used to have her own UA-cam channel and is amazing at editing. She uses Kapwing (AI software that cuts out the middle of videos) and Final Cut Pro. If you have any specific questions please email me. She said she would love to help or give any tips. My email is in the description. BTW would you be open to doing an interview for my channel? Let me know. Would love to share your story but importantly your practical tips (even if they differ from mine).
@@Roberto-Escobar thanks for the information Rob! Defiantly will reach out with a few questions. Yes I would love to come on your channel and discuss and share and swap stories! The more we can get out what helped to those in need, the better! Keep in touch brother.
Hey Rob, thanks so much for sharing your journey. Your energy and positivity is infectious. Quick question, how impactful did you find diet changes to calming your nervous system? I’m nearing 2 years next year since Covid infection, I’m not sure if I’d say I have long covid as I’ve been able to work and get through the days but something still feels off in my energy reserves. I’m a big coffee drinker as well, so have recently switched to decaf. Can you explain how much of an impact diet, personally had for you on your recovery plus are you now back fully recovered and able to exercise like normal again?
Diet changes will activate your nervous system. I dont recommend dieting or fasting of any sort. its seems you have LC but are funtuional, which is very frustrating. I stopped dieting and began eating junk food when I began to heal. I was soo stressed about tracking calories and losing weight. I stopped caring about being "fat" and instead would look in the mirror everyday naked and would tell myself out loud. "I LOVE YOU ROB" and began to accept me. I knew I would worry about weight or dieting after I healed. When you are healing, that is not the time to worry about this.
There are many ways in which psychosocial factors throughout one’s life time (the course of one’s life: how you’re brought up, choices someone has made and the occurrence of adverse life events resulting in a certain social economic status and possibly chronic (psychosocial) stress) affect illness. Simply put: people whose life is tough are more likely to get sick than people whose life is easy. There is an evolutionary logic to this as well: people who can be missed the most are most likely to get ill and to die prematurely, thereby allowing the group to avoid wasting resources on a member who doesn’t contribute enough. It’s no fun saying this, but this is well know in the medical literature.
I 100% agree with you. The studies on ACE (adverse childhood experiences) bring some clarity on this. Despite the circumstances we grow up I ask myself WHY does these experiences cause us to be sicker. And I really come to the conclusion it is because of our beliefs (dont get me wrong it's more complicated than this). It's the way we treat ourselves, what we believe about the world around (we believe the world is a dangerous place), we live in shame, we live with anxiety, we self sabotage. These come from beliefs created by our past experiences (psychosocial factors). And I look at interviews of people who have thrived despite coming from really terrifying childhoods, and changing their beliefs. Believing that they are in control of their life and health, is a huge pivot in our minds to cause healing and thriving. I enjoy reading research on ACE but I cant stand that the message most people preach is "well 80% of you will have chronic disease and die early". I dont care about the 80%. I want to be the 20% teach me that, inspire others to be that. And I believe we have more control about our outcomes in life than society leads to believe.
@@Roberto-Escobar They are saying that it could help with long covid. If you have time to look into it I would love to see your take on it. Great channel, keep up the good work!
@@mattrip9452 took a quick glance. I’ve heard of something similar to this. I personally believe there is no quick cure to long COVID (I wish there was). My belief is that it’s from an over stimulated nervous system. Me over stimulate through our emotions, beliefs, mindset, trauma, behavior. And these quick fixes that are meant to stimulate the vagus nerve don’t fix any of the above mentioned. So to me not worth it. But I know many people who have to do it all to prove to themselves that only calming the nervous system is the way to heal (no shame in learning the long way: I’m guilty of this). Cold plunging is an example of this. Will get rid of symptoms for a few minutes or hours, but long COVID remains no matter how many plunges you take. The goal is to run towards working on your thoughts, self talk, emotions, trauma, mindset, belief set. Hope that helps.
I got a stellate ganglion block done a little over a year ago and unfortunately it did not do anything to help. It eased my anxiety for about a week but then it all came back. But I have seen different results on different people!

soo happy you enjoyed it ❤️
Thanks Rob :)
you welcome !❤️
Rob great video as always 🙏🏼 please do a vid on SETBACKS, example of scenarios and what to do on the up and down journey will greatly help. ❤
