Why Do We Experience Defensive Rage with Dr. Kate Truitt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- In this psychoeducational video, Dr. Kate Truitt explores how defensive rage is triggered, its neurobiological basis, and its profound implications for human behavior.
Dr. Kate Truitt emphasizes that defensive rage is an extreme survival response. It occurs when we can't escape or fight for ourselves. She also shares that our brains are hardwired to protect loved ones.
She reminds us that healing opportunities start with self-compassion, and CPR for the amygdala can be an effective tool for proactive healing, reducing the likelihood of future rage episodes.

This helps me better define my anger as a child. The fear from adoption and the unpredictability of dad’s ongoing criticisms. And then getting punished for being angry. “Why can’t you just be pleasant!!!” is one of the more memorable examples.
It sounds like you've had some profound insights into the origins of your anger and how your experiences. Please remember it's okay to feel angry, and it's valid to need time and support to work through those emotions. Your journey of self-discovery and healing is commendable, and each step you take in understanding your feelings is a move towards a more grounded and peaceful self. Sending you strength and healing as you continue this path. 💗😊

Omg my parents said the same thing😂. More so b/c i wouldn’t/t smile ! “Be” happy 🙄.the way they preferred.
So valuable! Those moments i (all my family) has gone there def are for me, &i suspect them, the most shame-inducing after. Thank you for covering this ❤
You're very welcome. 💗 Discussing these moments openly can help demystify and destigmatize them, making it easier for everyone involved to approach these feelings with compassion and understanding.
It's been a "go to" since childhood when I was required to cap my emotions for the benefit of the family, and dad in particular. Which makes it very difficult to feel any other emotions that have been locked up. It's taken a heavy toll on my mind and body. Somehow through it all I'm highly empathetic with those who suffer in life.
Same here. Are we sib.ings? 😂
Compassion is located elsewhere in the brain & is m0ore who u are. This “Amy” reaction is NOT who u are, as Dr Truitt points out-its an extreme-threat response. Developed from times of great fear of death. In our lives, earliest trauma/fear, powerlessness in fear, sense of no escape-this can bring the reaction on, & as grownups, something reminding us of that sensation can bring it back out (even if the circumstances dont warrant it…) i appreciate her pointing out that the more we let that emerge, tho, it can become conditioned/habitual. Your compassion tells me you arent someone like that. ❤🤗 Ne neither.
WOW! Dr. Truitt, I had no idea about this, Like Terminator on steroids! Is there medication to suppress this imbalance or do we just live with it and cope? Thank you very much!
Amy the Amygdala ❤
She's the best in protecting us💗😊
Is this what a psychopath goes through or is this another story?
Gosh no! She explains simply the elements of out amygdala, “Amy” for short. We all have this. It can come out of anyone if circumstances arise, & is (can be…)an important life preserving part of that ancient brain part. Like her example of mother being able to lift a car or whatever to save her child. Like any Amy protective reaction, it can become a “go to” that does not actually serve us & thus we can use thing like Havening techniques to get rid of the impCt of early trauma triggers and to build new positive neural pathways for better coping. Psychopaths have very different brains, from what i understand.
