@@thecounselingcenter4859 for a start I left a very toxic relationship and distanced myself (that had a positive impact on my neck and shoulders and after six months to a year it shifted) I also got a spell of acupuncture and massage and done meditation. For anyone that’s in stressful situations or relationships that are detrimental to your wellbeing minimising them and or getting away from them helped my body let go finally of what was creating most of the problem (this is my experience)
I'm doing a college paper on alternative treatments to PTSD. I have suffered from this and there's a lot of misconceptions people have about it. I was always told PTSD was a brain thing but it wasn't until i realized the trauma stored in my body that I was able to make progress. In the Army they would always talk about muscle memory during our exercise time and it got me thinking if the body contains neurons just like the brain why cant trauma be stored there?
Yes, the body stores every piece of memory. You could try gentle yoga and you would experience how that releases trauma. In fact it is a science that was created for the purpose of releasing the inprint of karma, even from past lives. God bless you.
You know why it's that way, because when fear strikes your mind, and it can't be contained, it moves to your body, and it disables certain functions of your body. You use the mind to attack the fear of the body, and you use the body to attack fears of the mind. .. Every time I go in my mind to destroy my fears my body has contained, I'm like 10 seconds in and I'm already whooping those demons, then I stop and tell myself that I'll save this little pleasure for later. lol There is light, friends.
Through a great deal of meditation, reflection journaling, reading, and listening to speakers I have discovered that parts of the body constrict in order to try and take up less space, to not exist fully in a kind of retraction of energy to protect oneself from exposing the vulnerable areas. Incredible realization for me! Thank you for all you do. ❣️
oh i just tried this with my back pain and hunched posture and i immediately had a memory of cowering to protect myself from my mother slapping and punching me. wow.
"" If you feel that tension, and you allow that tension to just slowly move your body, in what way might it move your body? "" This is one of the most usefully powerful phrases I have heard.. In fact, I've been looking for a way to communicate this very idea for a while now. Solid Gold!
@@riripurpletini it is basically like asking you to translate trauma or pain into a gesture or movement of any kind. It's a very powerful question which helps those who are kinaesthetic learners, people who learn via the physical body and by doing rather than reading or just listening. But a random example might be if one experiences a memory of a trauma as a severe fluttering in the stomach, and they would act that out by shivering or swaying. Generally, trauma held in the body has a pattern of some sort and you might self soothe it physically via things like foot tapping or picking your cuticles or swaying and not even be conscious of it. He's trying to connect you to that feeling and your physical expression of the feeling. I hope that helps.
As a massage therapist, I have had good results on my clients using a different approach, it is amazing how the body reflects the inner secrets of a person. That's so true as I see it every day their progress. I can say I'm very happy with my job by seeing my clients discovering themselves.
αndros Roccha Please do tell what approach you have used. I am a budding massage therapist and curious to help --especially the clients suffering from trauma.
@@seatrill Every client is different. Areas of the body store different levels of memory and trapped energy. By allowing the client to talk and then gain their trust during the massage session, they will start to open themselves up enough to release it. Many times they do not even realize it is happening, it just happens in the course of the massage. As the massage therapist, you will intuitively know where to place the right amount of pressure in order for it to happen. Sometimes it happens the first session, sometimes a few sessions later, depending on the level of trust developed between you and the client. Sometimes, if the client has too much fear or is not ready, it will not happen at all.....but you will sense this too.
P. Aloha. thank you for your kind response. I just had a client with divorce stress and her entire left side was tense, places she told me about and ones she felt but didn’t know about on the table. so true what you wrote about the hands finding and staying in a particular area to help with the release. I love the work and the way so many of the wisdom teachings shine through the work.
@@seatrill sorry! I can’t believe I’m seeing this notification only today! My approach is more metaphysical. The client doesn’t need to speak, their body speaks to me as a massage therapist I’m connected through the body. The physical body communicates what is within. A person who suffered a trauma or faced a radical life event that caused suffering, can around a year later develop malfunction in their organism to respond the memory or beliefs that got printed in their unconscious. Chronic pains are usually related to the present moment or to the belief a person printed in the unconscious out of an event or trauma. In the worst scenario, it can come as a cancer after years. Massage therapy allows a person to become aware of their own body as they sense them, it becomes integrated. When I was studying massage I had a study case where the client liked to talk , but she changed the subject as I moved to the other parts of her body. I did research and all made sense. Today my client go silent in a peaceful state, after the session a give my feedbacks. A very simple example , I had an adult man who sad he needed to restore cos he faced a funeral in the family and was still grieving. I didn’t ask details for discretion. But after the session I told him the reason why he was so drained was his mother, cos even being an adult, she kept being controlling him and he felt like she commanded his next steps in life. “Exactly! How did you know that?” He said. So I explained to him that when I pressured his right calf he moaned in pain, calves are your legs going forward, the right side of the body represents the feminine authority we have in life. When he starts to take his own steps without feeling that his calf is chained, the pain will go away.
Now you know, that’s a major step into healing! I highly recommend looking into reiki healing for anxiety, trauma and inner child. My fav UA-cam channels are: blended insight, lune innate, divine white light, restandrelaxation. Good luck my dear!
This is a wonderful find.. After many years of dealing and working through severe panic attacks, GAD, and all the other stuff it brings with it.. I found that there was a very somatic symptom still ever present.. it would escalate when my stress levels were high, or I'd been through a stressful event.. but even at times of relative calm.. it's just there.. I'm at my wits end.. I'm starting work with an actual trauma counsellor. I can't find anyone who understands my symptom.. it sounds fairly straightforward enough.. basically it's issues surrounding stomach/solar plexus area.. any 'exertion' can cause a panic attack. At it's worst, I've literally had panic attacks just rolling over in bed.. literally. Like my body is so wound up like a rubber band stretched to it's maximum.. but it's more than that.. I just know there is unhealed trauma. I've had moments of immediate respite when I've talked about some childhood events.. I just can't sustain it. Sorry to write a lengthy post here.. but I just need to let this out in an environment where there is a chance someone will understand what it might be. I'm frustrated and in tears, because it's stopped some aspects and dreams of mine.. and things like training at the gym.. any movements that involve bending over exacerbate it so much that it leads to panic. I just want to release it once and for all. Thankyou for reading, love to hear from anyone who experienced the same. It just feels like such a mystery symptom. I hope you all find the healing you deserve :)
@290802001 Hi, thanks so much for your reply.. really appreciate it. Over the years, it's been counselling that was geared more toward the panic/anxiety side of things, that involved just talking/cbt etc. Personally, having been active always helped..I've always been into sport.. gym, mountain biking, hiking.. though what's funny, is that is when I really noticed the physical aspect even more so.. training at gym in times of high anxiety, despite providing relief after the fact, is where I'd notice my symptoms, and they'd be borderline debilitating and panic-inducing. I find meditation/prayer help.. though I haven't been as consistent with meditation as I'd like to be.. considering I have felt results. I know that's a bit of a vague and general response for now, though it means a lot to have someone who is experiencing something similar reach out. Feel free to message me in reply here, or inbox me on my youtube channel. Thanks Caroline :)
@290802001 Thanks so much for your reply, and resources.. I can't tell you how much I do appreciate it! I will look up your suggestions, and will send you an inbox tomorrow. Many thanks Caroline :)
John... have you looked into Irene lyon or ilene Smith? That was suggested by a person who replied to your comment.?. If so!!! Was it helpful? Have you come to any conclusions? Found relief .?. Cause I am relating to you.?. I have a knot the size of a softball in my solar plexus.?. Certian situations will cause an instant excelleration of anxiety "taunt rubber band" in the gut, followed by difficulty with confusion ( don't know what to say) flustered.?. My insides in a rage.?. Looking for anything to recede the flash flood of emotions, alot of times through the years "anger" has been the most handiest tool to get my hands on.?. I am just recently discovering CPTSD and the symptoms/side affects that rise up out of this condition. I've never talked with anyone.?. "FEAR" never found a safe environment.?. I believe my silence has been the fertilizer to the growth of this CPTSD condition.
Hi John...I was watching this video and randomly came across your comment. I'm very sorry to hear you are having so many difficulties. Are you still having problems or were you able to find someone to help you release this trauma? Your comment was very interesting "any movements that involve bending over"....if you think back on your life, did something terrible happen to you when you bent over? I hate to say it, but was there perhaps some sexual abuse? You don't have to answer publicly, but it's something to think about. It sounds like you have some very severe trauma...I wouldn't recommend you try to work through this one alone.. You might want to look into a therapist that is familiar with Peter Levine's work and works using his methods. Good luck-not sure if you are a religious person, but I will keep you in my prayers that you heal and release this trauma, whatever it was that happened to you.
I had this terrible disconfort on the belly, hard as a rock, and during meditation, I focused healing and reiki onto that area and started massaging it. Thoughts came while having an inner talk and after a few minutes started crying non-stop, like a child that had been abandobed. I had those thoughts, 'they will not come back', 'Mum, I'm here...' and feeling like reaching outone of the arms out to reach someone
I definitely believe one can store past memories in the body. I experienced it in my 60's. I was doing a breathing treatment called S R I. Somantic respiratory international. I had a memory of my father touching me inappropriately when I was a child. An only child. It helped me work through why I ended up in my paturlar career, and some hidden anger.
Since 2003 I have worked with traumatized trafficked people. I had the privilege to receive a training with modules that were spread out over to start with a two year period. Peter Levine and Dian Poole were the main trainers and this intensive introduction to somatic experiencing was an inspiration.
I interpret this approach as paying attention to bodily sensations and leaning into it to find out what it is trying to communicate with us. What I found most interesting about this video was the part where Haim was asked to notice whether the tension was uniform and where it might want him to move his body. I experience muscle tension and aches all over my body almost every day, and one of my approaches has been to do a body scan, notice the sensations, and help my body relax with hot showers, hot water bags, self-massages, hip-opening stretches, sun salutations, progressive muscle relaxation, and bilateral eye movement. All of these have been very helpful in managing my pains, but I do them as part of my daily routine, not intending to sit with the pain and emotions that might be coming up right after. I give myself time to sit and experience the emotions during the day when I notice them rising in my body. I have started feeling too activated, which could mean that I do not integrate enough. I think I am also missing out on crucial insights that I could get by tapping into the emotions that arise right after my practices. I am curious about trying the approach talked about in the video and seeing how it works for me.
trauma will manifest in physical symptoms which can cause disease such as cancer. The mind is the engine that controls our thoughts, it can be used for healing or destruction. We should take inventory of how we feel physically and how to remove/address the emotional attachments to a past emotion such as anger, resentment, etc.
I have a client who has constant back pain without an injury. He was constantly criticized as a child by his father. I will ask these questions and do this within EMDR Therapy and see what results.
Severe backpain is usually related to suppressing biological vitality. Holding back aggression/rage and not be able to say stop when its enough. Can be healed.vegetativetraining.wordpress.com/saving-tiger-wood/
My father is the same and now I'm in lockdown with him for 3 weeks..so stressed...also very isolated as I can't see or hear a soul where I am...have definitely not felt safe emotionally here...
@@Froglet1968 There are always online chatrooms where you can find likeminded people. I just started yoga with a youtuber called 'yoga with Adriene' and this has helped keep the stress down. In whatever situation you are now, I hope that you are kind to yourself and remember that this is just a season. This too shall pass.
Apologies for not being someone in mental health work or science! But i found this video very profound as i myself have experience physical symptoms of traumatic memories specifically when i was in almost complete dissociation (no memory of the trauma, but still memory of the person who inflicted abuse) and have had many releasing moments such as this. Many thanks for this information.
My Mom and I were traumatized by Dad's alcoholism and neglect,who overdosed on pills and alcohol.She remarried to a Extremely violent monster of a so called person.He beat her unmercifully in my prescence. I was only 8 yrs old.This went on for 2 more yrs.untill we ran away.My suffered by withdrawing into herself Never telling a soul.She had massive headaches.I suffered with low self esteem,migraines,anxiety,depression.till this day.
I have a theory that when God allows our mind to erase traumatic events, but still have a means of identifying the perpetrator, it keeps us from further harm by the same person😊🙏
I see that since I have been working so much on my spiritual part of me, every trauma shows on me right away. Before that, there was a huge delay, a lag phase, for many years and then it hit hard.
Re-living traumatic situations again in the register of the whole body is to me a condition for working out the contradictions in the vegetative system created by these incidents. When this occurs, it leads to spontaneous recovery of the vegetative system’s functions. Spasms in the musculature loosen, spontaneous recovering of breathing occurs, the skin changes colour, the patient gets better sight and as some say, it is easier to think clearly.
It was useful and surprising for me to take more attention to the small pressures in my poor traumatized body. Pressure is totally about having no decisions about worrying situation. Kind of rational anxiety.
I can't focus on this video, I try to stay focused, but... my mind's too distracted: 1) I am constantly flooded by memories that fill me with rage. I am raped by rage. I could murder for all I used to put up with. 2) how is it that I've spent my whole life in poverty when I have the talents, passions, and skills that could make me wildly rich? 3) stress, stress, stress and more stress... always 999-trillion things to do and the thought of doing any of it just makes me want to die. (I am traumatized just contemplating it all.) 4) food is my only escape. but for the sake of my health, I cannot keep escaping in food, or it will literally kill me... 5) never in my whole life have I ever had true love or a real friend. never ever have I...
Oh i remember this. I helped a friend because i saw the trauma behind his feet pain and it was gone when i brought him back into time and to let go. Everything we go through is a lesson to grow. Peter is right on point. When trauma release the body through past life regression of hypnotherapy the physical pain slowly disappears. Thank you fot sharing⭐️🙏🏽
I don't know how I am going to use that idea in my work yet. But I would like to say thank you and express my gratitude for such an insightful story. Thanks.
Shaking and hemiplegic migraines for 20 years. Usually affects the right side of my body. Some doctors say I have repressed memories some say it's just a migraines from a fluke accident where I was hit from the left side but the damage is on the right. Would love to stop shaking and stop having migraines
Cindy. Sorry to hear what you are going through. Read some of my posts here. Am no expert but do have training in some areas of trauma and but have done much to help myself and others . Also go to sapien medicine channel and look for audios similar to what you have or go to forum at his website... Enlightened states. Com. Ask for ideas at the forum Finally learn either qigong or Tai chi. I have done spring forest qigong and like the 5 elements exercises. Blessings
Focusing on the physical pain then allowing all feelings and memories to surface without attaching to any of them,useful insightful memories or physical memories are processed by either journalling or art work any feedback is welcome.
I found this video very interesting; as I'm an adpotee, and in my later years I've been feeling sore in and around my body. I was adopted by my biological Mother's brother and his wife, as soon as I was born, then at 81/2 months old mum had a baby but because of complications she had to stay in hospital for 3 weeks; I didn't stop crying throughout the whole time only to sleep because of exhaustion. Mum had a new baby to look after, plus aneedy one ( she must have been torn). At the age of 6 years old mum and Dad split up and I was devastated by the whole situation and felt so alone. I was also told at an early age about my adoption but I don't remember anything about it OR any thing else about my life; what I do know ( or think I know) is that there are many things in my life that I don't remember, like the time I was chased by my step father with a pick ⛏️ axe. I'm now wondering if certain illnesses are trauma related and how can I know this. I'm trying to heal myself through UA-cam videos and I think it's helping because I haven't cryed like this in years but what I'm really hoping for, is to stop being angry and start being more loving.
I have severe rigidness and tension all over my body. In therapy, I can't find a location in my body without tension. I clench my jaw without realizing. For a while I raised my eyebrows compulsively and used to contract my nape (back of the neck). I also crack every joint in my body, as I said I have rigidity all over. All this clenching happens with escapist body language, unable to maintain eye contact. I'm afraid they're all related to decades of trauma, including childhood.
I see where this video displays that the person in the example has an opportunity to work through a pivotal moment in his life. What a thrill and a blessing this is for the person! I pray that I learn something new as I travel deep into my past to discover what is holding me back. I am pleased to say o have an amazing therapist to guide me in this journey
Finally an answer! I've been stuck in the feeling phase of somatic experiencing exactly feeling like I'm falling and there are no handrails, I sweat and there's heavy breathing but I can't seem to get out of it. I just became more aware of what that feeling is.. generally sad but I still can't describe it.
Past definitely does define the future , until we drop in the body memory and release the patterns from repeating it. There is no other way. The past actually holds the key to the future . We live in quantum unviserse , so that means what happened in human past time is actually still running the current show and the future show , until we become actively conscious of the energy patterns within our body and remove them one by one.
I also am thinking about his explanations. His association with pain and trauma and the body's response. I think I'd accommodate it in my own life, because I suffered a lot of severe trauma after major brain surgery. I had very severe hormonal issues and weak immune system where I contracted Coxsackie viruses and epstein barr as well, consuming my thyroid. It triggers also sweating because of fear professors treated it very badly, just asking me how I feel about knowing I can die any moment because of that. It was the furthest thing on my mind, because I felt I had a lot of life and service to give as a mother and nurturer ob the brink of the biggest adventure of my life!
I belive that the main task of the therapeut is partly to help the patient to recall ECOSORS: Emotional, COgnitive and SOmatic Reconstructions which have been decisive for how the patients own self-regulating growth possibilities have been disturbed and entered the vegetative system as an unsolved contradiction, thereafter to be congruently present in the patient’s emotional condition, a co-wanderer in the land- scape which the patient must seek to be able to construct, or rather recreate his history.
Eckart Tolle talks about the pain body and how we give it it's own identity. Wim Hoffe induces/works thru trauma by cold showers. Many different approaches to this topic.
I kind of hate cold showers but I’ll read up on it! As a kid it was stressful for me to go all the way in the pool bc I found the cold water kinda painful at first. Maybe I was just really sensitive
It is about merging the bodily, emotional and cognitive experience in such a way that the patient experiences / recognizes the conflict/opposites as an organic whole and that they are solved as an organic whole (Memory Systems, Damasio). The unconscious emotional experience, the trauma, is made conscious, integrated.
I’m looking forward to having a training. Where can a get? I’m reading and practicing Peter Levin teaching and so far I’m having great results. Thank you for the video ❤
Hm, I suggest not to. Because of trauma, you see yourself as a victim. You need someone beside you to see you as a whole person, who will recognize if you are going in the right direction. Usually, we are not that strong mentally and psychologically, to go through trauma just by ourselves. Sometimes you need to because there is no one around, but this is not for beginners. Reiki is good, but you need to know that reiki evokes a lot of things, also attached entities that must be cleared, but you can not do this alone. I suggest you pray, make confessions, connect yourself to God before you go working on your trauma. When you are working on trauma, you open up a black hole in your soul and entities can pull you into something you don`t want to experience. That`s why you need to be protected, that means that you need a guide and you need God on your side. And you need to grow morally and ethically to really overcome trauma, no judgment towards people or situations that were involved in trauma, just pure understanding that this happened to you and that it has no effect on you from now on. It`s a lot of work and sometimes it takes a lot of time if it`s a heavy trauma it will take years, little by little overcoming it, looking at the trauma from many aspects, sometimes knowledge that you get from dealing with this particual trauma can become your mission and job.
Ladida386 it really doesnt have to be that complicated! And bringing religion into feels like you are projecting beliefs onto others and asking them to confess!!!! That will make them feel better when they probably feel guilt for what trauma's have been inflicted on them x people going through this need compassion and understanding and to be heard and be drawn to whatever healing is best for them, supported by whatever spiritual belief (if any) that helps to heal and be free and therefore benefits the whole as we all heal xxxxxx love to all
I feel the same...the lockdown is triggering so much trauma and I'm in an environment where I don't feel safe emotionally...not easy but I want to release all this body tension...Touch and warmth make me feel safe but that's gone for 3 weeks and just the thought of not seeing anyone is making me feel stressed x
I believe medical personnel Can learn said training given proper instructors. I've had bad low back pain most of my adult life. Now, how to tap into experience that got me in this condition. Thx much!
I have chronic bloating (all day everyday for YEARS caused by unresolved trauma) I really hope I can tackle this and get my digestive system back to normal
It is about merging the bodily, emotional and cognitive experience in such a way that the patient experiences / recognizes the conflict / opposites as an organic whole and that they are solved as an organic whole (cf. Newer Research, Two Memory Systems, Damasio). The unconscious emotional experience, the trauma, is made conscious, integrated. This "only" happens fully in the human basic position.
what about healing physical symptoms / pain etc. without being aware of the cause/ trauma? Meaning: Is it possible to heal a trauma on a physical level without knowing where / when / how this trauma even happened?
My father ran over me with the (huge 1950s) family car when I was 2 and almost killed me. It's not something I think about, except sometimes the left side of my body will do various weird things or feel certain pains, and I wonder if it's still remembering that trauma.
I was always healthy and slim. Until 4 y ago i was traumatized, physical and mental. My relationship ended after 14 y. Since then 3/4 y later got panic attacks i got scared of it. By test i got hypothyoroid issues... gained weight 12kg. Felt horrible, like i only had to die. Since 1 year ago i started to feel better also due to levothyroxine. I am stil overweight 68 kg, before 57, before that 53 kg. My lenght is 1.52m. I am not crying so often anymore... i hope one day i get healthy again. I got sometimes stiches in my left side in my brain. Had an mri , nothing special to see. Cause i had then eye injury. I had 3 years very much emotional problems cause i lost the love of my life... now i got stronger, say 80%. In those 4 y i got all sorts of physical problems.. i know it happened since 2017 ...cause of the trauma!
Working with client with headaches and taking botox. Client had auto wreck and no support. Client has headaches since wreck. Scans don't find physical problems. Using Dr. Levines trauma techniques. She states these treatments help more than botox injections
What if you don’t remember any specific trauma? What if it’s a bunch of disappointments or traumas but can’t pinpoint which one is still affecting you? We can sometimes go into compensation and think we’ve put it behind us. Now no longer in touch with the event but still retain the reactions, the anger, the sadness and so on.
Dear Peter, what about EMDR and excessive amlified pain, burping and extreme acid refluxes during and after session, leaving them with days of collapse? This tend to make the patient not want to engage in therapy. How to resource and help this situation? What's behind the burping and acid reflux, pain triggers?
It sounded like the beginning of EMDR process to identify the thought that tramatized the mind that gave the clinician an opportunity to go further in the session to remove that thought. Maybe I am incorrrect. I am an EMDR clinician and that is why I understand what was just addressed in this.
I have a region of high tension in the middle of my back. I can clearly feel it in relation to unnamed stress. Still I was and am highly functional in my profession as a nurse for already 30 years, which includes also heavy physical work. But this kind of tension goes not along with it. It still is there, feeling sort of a defense against an attack from the off, from behind. - In several sessions with Osteopathy and sometimes massage, when touched there, although KNOWING in advance, I was going to be touched there, I couldn't help and my whole body (back) sort of jumped upwards like if it was a reflex (like patella). It feels extremely alert. All the time.
Hi, I recommend that you check out this database through Psychology Today: www.psychologytoday.com/us Through this site, you will be able to search for more information regarding your questions.
Psychiatrists term it psychosomatic. The pain in your psyche comes out as an unexplained physical pain and psychiatrists prescribe medicine for it and then the pain goes away but psychiatric treatment itself is somewhat baffling.
I went through a lot of heavy arguing in my past relationship. He was telling me really poisonous words, I remember one time he told me maybe I would find my peace if I were dead. I felt all these words in my belly. Now, my belly has been bloated for 2 years continuously and it hurts and doctors haven't found anything. What should I do?

Hi Am curious about an area of the body, for me it's upper solar plexus and diaphragm, that I repeatedly have tightened over the years. It's a safety response and the tightening is to "protect" severe anxiety If there is a defining memory it's very old and I have no recollection of it. So I sit with tightness and breathe with it etc Any ideas
@@richardlong9785 I have practiced slowing down and being mindful of when it happens. I notice it's a safety response to situations of feeling inadequate or insecure. I have worked on some memories using Optimal EFT but mostly if I am with it when I notice it, I can give it space to express so to speak. The more aware and honoring it, the less power, and so it's shifting and improved. There's more like breathing in the midst of it and notice the protection of anxiety. And working on tight muscles w yoga, etc. Hope that helps
@@spl5227 I am uncertain of what Optimal EFT is.?. also... finding a key to slow the rush of flooding emotional response could be a huge benefit... right now I'm just barely able to recognize the response is happening. Thank you
I suffer from the same thing Constant pressure in my chest And struggle to breath Its been like this for almost 2 years I'm sick and tired of feeling like this
I was hoping for something less obvious than "oh, right, that time I was in that war, and I was injured and all my friends were murdered" Needless to say, most of us don't have something so obvious to "remember" (there is NO WAY a psychologist wouldn't have already thought about this), nor do we remember anything after 2 minutes of looking at our pain. Like most "amazing" psychological treatments, this one smells strongly of bunk.
Trauma can be anything , that has power to overwhelm your rational mind and activates your survival mode ( flight/fight/freeze). During this experience your memory is stored somewhere..so that you can function effectively.... When you have developed intellectual powers , when your mind feels safe then, it will bring out the repressed memories into consciousness....
Energy flows through the body continuously, trauma creates dead spots and muscular holding patterns in the eyes , jaw, chest, diaphragm, the neck etc. And the energy gets stuck there.
I'm d be I nice to have 5 mins with peter Levine, started having my body "act"different now for almost 3 years. Took me a 3 years to find about karmic rapid release, leading me here. It very hard to find info about this subject. I'm just trying to understand if I'm clearing and I have to let it finish releasing toxins or if I'm in some sort it of cycle feeding me toxins that I have to release daily. I'll continue to research what each symptom I'm having means and one day I'll form a answer or at the least a direction
I was traumatized by the AZ jab I had six weeks ago. I got severe migraines which I don't normally get. I wasn't expecting the side effects and I now have tinnitus which I believe is a brain disorder and hopefully I can conquer the feeling and settle down
Did you report the side effects to VAERS? Check their website for others reporting similar side effects. I had severe migraines after a different jab by SKB many years ago and ended up finding naturopathic healing, juicing, etc to help heal naturally. Sometimes these jabs can create real problems, as they did in my case.
Or it could be an a damaged nerve in the lumbar region. (I see amazing psychosomatic cures during faith healing sermons.) But the neuropathy, or the cancer, or the Huntingtons returns.
Please help me. I chew my lips very badly to the point of torn and bleeding. I allow time to heal then during stress or high concentration I start again. My lips are unsightly and ugly. I am 50 years and would love to stop. Any suggestions?
this is absolutely not how it works with everyone and i really hope that people watching this don't think that all they have to do is follow a few instructions from a 3 minute video and their pain will go from a 9 to a 2 in a matter of minutes.
psychosomatic illnesses? ...or is it hypochondria? since the pain lessened considerably right after you helped him process his trauma, does that mean his LBP was only in his brain? so, hypochondria? i hv ibs n atopic dermatitis, half of them genetic the other half bc of stress, so theyre psychosomatic, i think. n i manage to get them under control most of the time. by avoiding all triggers, including stress.
How to live with someone who has ptsd....? Please help.
5 років тому+4
Love and compassion (I had ptsd). Yes it's not easy but patience is the key. The hard thing in ptsd is we can be very conscious of our problems (as in depression) but stressed out by everything. We see stress, we feel stress, anywhere, anytime. So we are pretty detached from life and it creates of lot of fatigue, and fatigue creates more stress etc People suffering from ptsd have to learn again how to relax, the sweet voice of a loved one can help ;) Of course professional support is needed too. The more we can calm down, the more we can access to the primal wound(s) to heal it/these. Hope this helps!
Truly agree. Sometimes the person will react in ways that cant control. Learn about ptsd and please be supportive, be a strong support for them to hold on when most need. Supportive people around, no judgment, being kind works wonders :)

Serious neck and shoulder tension until I left a toxic relationship and it helped tremendously
Could you guide what body work did you do for this
@@thecounselingcenter4859 Austin Goh has an excercise video for that on YT.
Whoa
@@thecounselingcenter4859 for a start I left a very toxic relationship and distanced myself (that had a positive impact on my neck and shoulders and after six months to a year it shifted) I also got a spell of acupuncture and massage and done meditation. For anyone that’s in stressful situations or relationships that are detrimental to your wellbeing minimising them and or getting away from them helped my body let go finally of what was creating most of the problem (this is my experience)
😂, we’ll done!
It bothers me that our medical providers don't have this kind of knowledge. What's preventing them from receiving this kind of training?
Hound19745 you beat me to it 👍🏻
Hubris
@Hound19745 so true
Combination of inherited beliefs, education, big pharma 'teaching' at universities.
This is the reason for the failure of medical system, push down drugs down the throats to numb out the pain
I'm doing a college paper on alternative treatments to PTSD. I have suffered from this and there's a lot of misconceptions people have about it. I was always told PTSD was a brain thing but it wasn't until i realized the trauma stored in my body that I was able to make progress. In the Army they would always talk about muscle memory during our exercise time and it got me thinking if the body contains neurons just like the brain why cant trauma be stored there?
Very good
@@wellnesspathforme6236 I wish I could understand this better. Thank you for leaving an article to search.
Yes, the body stores every piece of memory. You could try gentle yoga and you would experience how that releases trauma. In fact it is a science that was created for the purpose of releasing the inprint of karma, even from past lives. God bless you.
@@lakama4965 That's interesting information and perspective, and makes perfect sense. I will investigate...
You know why it's that way, because when fear strikes your mind, and it can't be contained, it moves to your body, and it disables certain functions of your body. You use the mind to attack the fear of the body, and you use the body to attack fears of the mind. .. Every time I go in my mind to destroy my fears my body has contained, I'm like 10 seconds in and I'm already whooping those demons, then I stop and tell myself that I'll save this little pleasure for later. lol There is light, friends.
Through a great deal of meditation, reflection journaling, reading, and listening to speakers I have discovered that parts of the body constrict in order to try and take up less space, to not exist fully in a kind of retraction of energy to protect oneself from exposing the vulnerable areas. Incredible realization for me! Thank you for all you do. ❣️
oh i just tried this with my back pain and hunched posture and i immediately had a memory of cowering to protect myself from my mother slapping and punching me. wow.
"" If you feel that tension, and you allow that tension to just slowly move your body, in what way might it move your body? "" This is one of the most usefully powerful phrases I have heard.. In fact, I've been looking for a way to communicate this very idea for a while now. Solid Gold!
What does he mean by allow the tension to move your body ? I don’t get it
@@riripurpletini it is basically like asking you to translate trauma or pain into a gesture or movement of any kind. It's a very powerful question which helps those who are kinaesthetic learners, people who learn via the physical body and by doing rather than reading or just listening.
But a random example might be if one experiences a memory of a trauma as a severe fluttering in the stomach, and they would act that out by shivering or swaying. Generally, trauma held in the body has a pattern of some sort and you might self soothe it physically via things like foot tapping or picking your cuticles or swaying and not even be conscious of it. He's trying to connect you to that feeling and your physical expression of the feeling.
I hope that helps.
@@catherineshaw1122 yes thank you !!
As a massage therapist, I have had good results on my clients using a different approach, it is amazing how the body reflects the inner secrets of a person. That's so true as I see it every day their progress. I can say I'm very happy with my job by seeing my clients discovering themselves.
αndros Roccha Please do tell what approach you have used. I am a budding massage therapist and curious to help --especially the clients suffering from trauma.
@@seatrill Every client is different. Areas of the body store different levels of memory and trapped energy. By allowing the client to talk and then gain their trust during the massage session, they will start to open themselves up enough to release it. Many times they do not even realize it is happening, it just happens in the course of the massage. As the massage therapist, you will intuitively know where to place the right amount of pressure in order for it to happen. Sometimes it happens the first session, sometimes a few sessions later, depending on the level of trust developed between you and the client. Sometimes, if the client has too much fear or is not ready, it will not happen at all.....but you will sense this too.
P. Aloha. thank you for your kind response. I just had a client with divorce stress and her entire left side was tense, places she told me about and ones she felt but didn’t know about on the table. so true what you wrote about the hands finding and staying in a particular area to help with the release. I love the work and the way so many of the wisdom teachings shine through the work.
@@seatrill sorry! I can’t believe I’m seeing this notification only today! My approach is more metaphysical. The client doesn’t need to speak, their body speaks to me as a massage therapist I’m connected through the body. The physical body communicates what is within. A person who suffered a trauma or faced a radical life event that caused suffering, can around a year later develop malfunction in their organism to respond the memory or beliefs that got printed in their unconscious. Chronic pains are usually related to the present moment or to the belief a person printed in the unconscious out of an event or trauma. In the worst scenario, it can come as a cancer after years.
Massage therapy allows a person to become aware of their own body as they sense them, it becomes integrated. When I was studying massage I had a study case where the client liked to talk , but she changed the subject as I moved to the other parts of her body. I did research and all made sense.
Today my client go silent in a peaceful state, after the session a give my feedbacks. A very simple example , I had an adult man who sad he needed to restore cos he faced a funeral in the family and was still grieving. I didn’t ask details for discretion. But after the session I told him the reason why he was so drained was his mother, cos even being an adult, she kept being controlling him and he felt like she commanded his next steps in life. “Exactly! How did you know that?” He said. So I explained to him that when I pressured his right calf he moaned in pain, calves are your legs going forward, the right side of the body represents the feminine authority we have in life. When he starts to take his own steps without feeling that his calf is chained, the pain will go away.
@@androsRoccha wow! I wish I could go to you for a massage!
This brought me back to when I was 12 years old and my mom told me she had 6 months to live.. I believe this was the onset of terrible anxiety..
Exact same thing for me but I was 10. Trauma stays in the body. I’m on the path to figuring out how to remove it
Now you know, that’s a major step into healing! I highly recommend looking into reiki healing for anxiety, trauma and inner child. My fav UA-cam channels are: blended insight, lune innate, divine white light, restandrelaxation. Good luck my dear!
Yes, the trauma creates anxiety. Threat of losing your mother before you lost her created big anxiety, like when i was told my mother had cancer.
🙏❤️
This is a wonderful find..
After many years of dealing and working through severe panic attacks, GAD, and all the other stuff it brings with it.. I found that there was a very somatic symptom still ever present.. it would escalate when my stress levels were high, or I'd been through a stressful event.. but even at times of relative calm.. it's just there.. I'm at my wits end.. I'm starting work with an actual trauma counsellor. I can't find anyone who understands my symptom.. it sounds fairly straightforward enough.. basically it's issues surrounding stomach/solar plexus area.. any 'exertion' can cause a panic attack. At it's worst, I've literally had panic attacks just rolling over in bed.. literally. Like my body is so wound up like a rubber band stretched to it's maximum.. but it's more than that.. I just know there is unhealed trauma. I've had moments of immediate respite when I've talked about some childhood events.. I just can't sustain it. Sorry to write a lengthy post here.. but I just need to let this out in an environment where there is a chance someone will understand what it might be. I'm frustrated and in tears, because it's stopped some aspects and dreams of mine.. and things like training at the gym.. any movements that involve bending over exacerbate it so much that it leads to panic. I just want to release it once and for all.
Thankyou for reading, love to hear from anyone who experienced the same. It just feels like such a mystery symptom.
I hope you all find the healing you deserve :)
@290802001 Hi, thanks so much for your reply.. really appreciate it. Over the years, it's been counselling that was geared more toward the panic/anxiety side of things, that involved just talking/cbt etc. Personally, having been active always helped..I've always been into sport.. gym, mountain biking, hiking.. though what's funny, is that is when I really noticed the physical aspect even more so.. training at gym in times of high anxiety, despite providing relief after the fact, is where I'd notice my symptoms, and they'd be borderline debilitating and panic-inducing. I find meditation/prayer help.. though I haven't been as consistent with meditation as I'd like to be.. considering I have felt results. I know that's a bit of a vague and general response for now, though it means a lot to have someone who is experiencing something similar reach out. Feel free to message me in reply here, or inbox me on my youtube channel. Thanks Caroline :)
@290802001 Thanks so much for your reply, and resources.. I can't tell you how much I do appreciate it! I will look up your suggestions, and will send you an inbox tomorrow. Many thanks Caroline :)
John... have you looked into Irene lyon or ilene Smith? That was suggested by a person who replied to your comment.?. If so!!! Was it helpful? Have you come to any conclusions? Found relief .?. Cause I am relating to you.?. I have a knot the size of a softball in my solar plexus.?. Certian situations will cause an instant excelleration of anxiety "taunt rubber band" in the gut, followed by difficulty with confusion ( don't know what to say) flustered.?. My insides in a rage.?. Looking for anything to recede the flash flood of emotions, alot of times through the years "anger" has been the most handiest tool to get my hands on.?. I am just recently discovering CPTSD and the symptoms/side affects that rise up out of this condition. I've never talked with anyone.?. "FEAR" never found a safe environment.?. I believe my silence has been the fertilizer to the growth of this CPTSD condition.
@@richardlong9785 guys. Try EMDR psychological treatment
Hi John...I was watching this video and randomly came across your comment. I'm very sorry to hear you are having so many difficulties. Are you still having problems or were you able to find someone to help you release this trauma? Your comment was very interesting "any movements that involve bending over"....if you think back on your life, did something terrible happen to you when you bent over? I hate to say it, but was there perhaps some sexual abuse? You don't have to answer publicly, but it's something to think about. It sounds like you have some very severe trauma...I wouldn't recommend you try to work through this one alone.. You might want to look into a therapist that is familiar with Peter Levine's work and works using his methods. Good luck-not sure if you are a religious person, but I will keep you in my prayers that you heal and release this trauma, whatever it was that happened to you.
I had this terrible disconfort on the belly, hard as a rock, and during meditation, I focused healing and reiki onto that area and started massaging it. Thoughts came while having an inner talk and after a few minutes started crying non-stop, like a child that had been abandobed. I had those thoughts, 'they will not come back', 'Mum, I'm here...' and feeling like reaching outone of the arms out to reach someone
I have chronic stomach distension caused by unresolved trauma. After you released it did your tummy go back to normal? X
I definitely believe one can store past memories in the body. I experienced it in my 60's. I was doing a breathing treatment called S R I. Somantic respiratory international. I had a memory of my father touching me inappropriately when I was a child. An only child. It helped me work through why I ended up in my paturlar career, and some hidden anger.
So did you already know your father abused you or was it a revelation?
Since 2003 I have worked with traumatized trafficked people. I had the privilege to receive a training with modules that were spread out over to start with a two year period. Peter Levine and Dian Poole were the main trainers and this intensive introduction to somatic experiencing was an inspiration.
I interpret this approach as paying attention to bodily sensations and leaning into it to find out what it is trying to communicate with us. What I found most interesting about this video was the part where Haim was asked to notice whether the tension was uniform and where it might want him to move his body.
I experience muscle tension and aches all over my body almost every day, and one of my approaches has been to do a body scan, notice the sensations, and help my body relax with hot showers, hot water bags, self-massages, hip-opening stretches, sun salutations, progressive muscle relaxation, and bilateral eye movement. All of these have been very helpful in managing my pains, but I do them as part of my daily routine, not intending to sit with the pain and emotions that might be coming up right after. I give myself time to sit and experience the emotions during the day when I notice them rising in my body. I have started feeling too activated, which could mean that I do not integrate enough. I think I am also missing out on crucial insights that I could get by tapping into the emotions that arise right after my practices. I am curious about trying the approach talked about in the video and seeing how it works for me.
trauma will manifest in physical symptoms which can cause disease such as cancer. The mind is the engine that controls our thoughts, it can be used for healing or destruction. We should take inventory of how we feel physically and how to remove/address the emotional attachments to a past emotion such as anger, resentment, etc.
I have a client who has constant back pain without an injury. He was constantly criticized as a child by his father. I will ask these questions and do this within EMDR Therapy and see what results.
Severe backpain is usually related to suppressing biological vitality. Holding back aggression/rage and not be able to say stop when its enough. Can be healed.vegetativetraining.wordpress.com/saving-tiger-wood/
My father is the same and now I'm in lockdown with him for 3 weeks..so stressed...also very isolated as I can't see or hear a soul where I am...have definitely not felt safe emotionally here...
@@Froglet1968 There are always online chatrooms where you can find likeminded people. I just started yoga with a youtuber called 'yoga with Adriene' and this has helped keep the stress down. In whatever situation you are now, I hope that you are kind to yourself and remember that this is just a season. This too shall pass.
@@happysundaybaby7616 Yes, I do hers too x thank you
How did the session go Marcy?
Apologies for not being someone in mental health work or science!
But i found this video very profound as i myself have experience physical symptoms of traumatic memories specifically when i was in almost complete dissociation (no memory of the trauma, but still memory of the person who inflicted abuse) and have had many releasing moments such as this.
Many thanks for this information.
My Mom and I were traumatized by
Dad's alcoholism and neglect,who overdosed on pills and alcohol.She remarried to a Extremely violent monster of a so called person.He beat her unmercifully in my prescence. I was only 8 yrs old.This went on for 2 more yrs.untill we ran away.My suffered by withdrawing into herself Never telling a soul.She had massive headaches.I suffered with low self esteem,migraines,anxiety,depression.till this day.
I have a theory that when God allows our mind to erase traumatic events, but still have a means of identifying the perpetrator, it keeps us from further harm by the same person😊🙏
I see that since I have been working so much on my spiritual part of me, every trauma shows on me right away. Before that, there was a huge delay, a lag phase, for many years and then it hit hard.
So long as you are better now.
What did you do to heal ?
Re-living traumatic situations again in the register of the whole body is to me a condition for working out the contradictions in the vegetative system created by these incidents. When this occurs, it leads to spontaneous recovery of the vegetative system’s functions. Spasms in the musculature loosen, spontaneous recovering of breathing occurs, the skin changes colour, the patient gets better sight and as some say, it is easier to think clearly.
i very much enjoy listening to peter levine, i just wish there were full versions of these conversations with less commentary or none at all.
It was useful and surprising for me to take more attention to the small pressures in my poor traumatized body. Pressure is totally about having no decisions about worrying situation. Kind of rational anxiety.
Worrying does no good, it is misuse of the imagination. I worried now I stopped it, what will be will be.
I can't focus on this video,
I try to stay focused, but...
my mind's too distracted:
1) I am constantly flooded by memories
that fill me with rage. I am raped by rage.
I could murder for all I used to put up with.
2) how is it that I've spent my whole life in poverty
when I have the talents, passions, and skills
that could make me wildly rich?
3) stress, stress, stress and more stress...
always 999-trillion things to do
and the thought of doing any of it
just makes me want to die.
(I am traumatized just contemplating it all.)
4) food is my only escape.
but for the sake of my health,
I cannot keep escaping in food,
or it will literally kill me...
5) never in my whole life have I ever
had true love or a real friend. never ever have I...
Oh i remember this. I helped a friend because i saw the trauma behind his feet pain and it was gone when i brought him back into time and to let go. Everything we go through is a lesson to grow. Peter is right on point. When trauma release the body through past life regression of hypnotherapy the physical pain slowly disappears. Thank you fot sharing⭐️🙏🏽
I don't know how I am going to use that idea in my work yet. But I would like to say thank you and express my gratitude for such an insightful story. Thanks.
Shaking and hemiplegic migraines for 20 years. Usually affects the right side of my body. Some doctors say I have repressed memories some say it's just a migraines from a fluke accident where I was hit from the left side but the damage is on the right. Would love to stop shaking and stop having migraines
Cindy. Sorry to hear what you are going through. Read some of my posts here. Am no expert but do have training in some areas of trauma and but have done much to help myself and others . Also go to sapien medicine channel and look for audios similar to what you have or go to forum at his website... Enlightened states. Com. Ask for ideas at the forum
Finally learn either qigong or Tai chi. I have done spring forest qigong and like the 5 elements exercises.
Blessings
That's the perfect description of Shadow work or pain body work. Thank you thank you thank you
Focusing on the physical pain then allowing all feelings and memories to surface without attaching to any of them,useful insightful memories or physical memories are processed by either journalling or art work any feedback is welcome.
I found this video very interesting; as I'm an adpotee, and in my later years I've been feeling sore in and around my body. I was adopted by my biological Mother's brother and his wife, as soon as I was born, then at 81/2 months old mum had a baby but because of complications she had to stay in hospital for 3 weeks; I didn't stop crying throughout the whole time only to sleep because of exhaustion. Mum had a new baby to look after, plus aneedy one ( she must have been torn).
At the age of 6 years old mum and Dad split up and I was devastated by the whole situation and felt so alone. I was also told at an early age about my adoption but I don't remember anything about it OR any thing else about my life; what I do know ( or think I know) is that there are many things in my life that I don't remember, like the time I was chased by my step father with a pick ⛏️ axe. I'm now wondering if certain illnesses are trauma related and how can I know this.
I'm trying to heal myself through UA-cam videos and I think it's helping because I haven't cryed like this in years but what I'm really hoping for, is to stop being angry and start being more loving.
Thank you so much. I have been working with an adult with child abuse history. This would surely help
I have severe rigidness and tension all over my body. In therapy, I can't find a location in my body without tension. I clench my jaw without realizing. For a while I raised my eyebrows compulsively and used to contract my nape (back of the neck). I also crack every joint in my body, as I said I have rigidity all over.
All this clenching happens with escapist body language, unable to maintain eye contact. I'm afraid they're all related to decades of trauma, including childhood.
Thanks for sharing not sure what this other person is experiencing. Lol
I practice this with my patients! It was not taught, but we discovered this pattern during physical exams and the massage treatments.
I see where this video displays that the person in the example has an opportunity to work through a pivotal moment in his life. What a thrill and a blessing this is for the person! I pray that I learn something new as I travel deep into my past to discover what is holding me back. I am pleased to say o have an amazing therapist to guide me in this journey
Forgiveness makes us free
Speaking up (The truth) makes you free
Finally an answer! I've been stuck in the feeling phase of somatic experiencing exactly feeling like I'm falling and there are no handrails, I sweat and there's heavy breathing but I can't seem to get out of it. I just became more aware of what that feeling is.. generally sad but I still can't describe it.
too much emphasis on and reverence for trauma will lead people to believe their past determines their future
Past definitely does define the future , until we drop in the body memory and release the patterns from repeating it. There is no other way. The past actually holds the key to the future . We live in quantum unviserse , so that means what happened in human past time is actually still running the current show and the future show , until we become actively conscious of the energy patterns within our body and remove them one by one.
Thanks, Peter, but I would love to hear how I facilitate the pain to move out of the individual. And I didn't hear you say that
This helped me a lot hearing his experience has somewhat humbled me
Harvard Dr. John Sarno wrote a lot about chronic pain being repressed anger. I especially like "The Divided Mind."
super useful, worked on a heel pain i was experiencing for months! jogged a memory of a painful journey
This is excellent. I know this works because I've seen it happen with client's during EMDR therapy.
I also am thinking about his explanations. His association with pain and trauma and the body's response. I think I'd accommodate it in my own life, because I suffered a lot of severe trauma after major brain surgery. I had very severe hormonal issues and weak immune system where I contracted Coxsackie viruses and epstein barr as well, consuming my thyroid. It triggers also sweating because of fear professors treated it very badly, just asking me how I feel about knowing I can die any moment because of that. It was the furthest thing on my mind, because I felt I had a lot of life and service to give as a mother and nurturer ob the brink of the biggest adventure of my life!
Thanks for the work you do
I belive that the main task of the therapeut is partly to help the patient to recall ECOSORS: Emotional, COgnitive and SOmatic Reconstructions which have been decisive for how the patients own self-regulating growth possibilities have been disturbed and entered the vegetative system as an unsolved contradiction, thereafter to be congruently present in the patient’s emotional condition, a co-wanderer in the land- scape which the patient must seek to be able to construct, or rather recreate his history.
Eckart Tolle talks about the pain body and how we give it it's own identity. Wim Hoffe induces/works thru trauma by cold showers. Many different approaches to this topic.
kathrine Hepburn an actress used cold showers.
I kind of hate cold showers but I’ll read up on it! As a kid it was stressful for me to go all the way in the pool bc I found the cold water kinda painful at first. Maybe I was just really sensitive
It is about merging the bodily, emotional and cognitive experience in such a way that the patient experiences / recognizes the conflict/opposites as an organic whole and that they are solved as an organic whole (Memory Systems, Damasio). The unconscious emotional experience, the trauma, is made conscious, integrated.
I’m looking forward to having a training. Where can a get? I’m reading and practicing Peter Levin teaching and so far I’m having great results.
Thank you for the video ❤
Hi Esperanza, you can purchase our courses on our website at www.nicabm.com/courses/
Is it possible to release pain and discomfort from hidden trauma without assistance from someone else?
Hm, I suggest not to. Because of trauma, you see yourself as a victim. You need someone beside you to see you as a whole person, who will recognize if you are going in the right direction. Usually, we are not that strong mentally and psychologically, to go through trauma just by ourselves. Sometimes you need to because there is no one around, but this is not for beginners. Reiki is good, but you need to know that reiki evokes a lot of things, also attached entities that must be cleared, but you can not do this alone. I suggest you pray, make confessions, connect yourself to God before you go working on your trauma. When you are working on trauma, you open up a black hole in your soul and entities can pull you into something you don`t want to experience. That`s why you need to be protected, that means that you need a guide and you need God on your side. And you need to grow morally and ethically to really overcome trauma, no judgment towards people or situations that were involved in trauma, just pure understanding that this happened to you and that it has no effect on you from now on. It`s a lot of work and sometimes it takes a lot of time if it`s a heavy trauma it will take years, little by little overcoming it, looking at the trauma from many aspects, sometimes knowledge that you get from dealing with this particual trauma can become your mission and job.
Ladida386 it really doesnt have to be that complicated! And bringing religion into feels like you are projecting beliefs onto others and asking them to confess!!!! That will make them feel better when they probably feel guilt for what trauma's have been inflicted on them x people going through this need compassion and understanding and to be heard and be drawn to whatever healing is best for them, supported by whatever spiritual belief (if any) that helps to heal and be free and therefore benefits the whole as we all heal xxxxxx love to all

I hope so, not all of us have people who can help us this way or financial resources. We all deserve to heal if we want.
That gives me hope but at the same time seems as if processing trauma memories were an easy thing to do, which is not my experience.

👍🏻❤️🙏🏻
SE is not an exposure therapy but it will mostly help on physical symptoms, wont change core beliefs, maybe EMDR is prefered for that
I feel the same...the lockdown is triggering so much trauma and I'm in an environment where I don't feel safe emotionally...not easy but I want to release all this body tension...Touch and warmth make me feel safe but that's gone for 3 weeks and just the thought of not seeing anyone is making me feel stressed x
The way Peter Levine does it is special, not like the way we process trauma on our own, struggling through it, sorry you had such a hard time.
It sounds like he got stuck in dorsal state and then by getting him to move he was able move into mobilisation sympathetic and discharge it.
I believe medical personnel Can learn said training given proper instructors. I've had bad low back pain most of my adult life. Now, how to tap into experience that got me in this condition. Thx much!
I have chronic bloating (all day everyday for YEARS caused by unresolved trauma) I really hope I can tackle this and get my digestive system back to normal
It is about merging the bodily, emotional and cognitive experience in such a way that the patient experiences / recognizes the conflict / opposites as an organic whole and that they are solved as an organic whole (cf. Newer Research, Two Memory Systems, Damasio). The unconscious emotional experience, the trauma, is made conscious, integrated. This "only" happens fully in the human basic position.
I'm finding all this hard to believe. I wish he video recorded this man's healing experience
I have seen some of his videos where he does. Maybe look up other videos of his?
what about healing physical symptoms / pain etc. without being aware of the cause/ trauma? Meaning: Is it possible to heal a trauma on a physical level without knowing where / when / how this trauma even happened?
My father ran over me with the (huge 1950s) family car when I was 2 and almost killed me. It's not something I think about, except sometimes the left side of my body will do various weird things or feel certain pains, and I wonder if it's still remembering that trauma.
Yes
Wonderful thanks for sharing and enlightening further in our work!
thank you for your work. the body knows my counselor told me.
I was always healthy and slim. Until 4 y ago i was traumatized, physical and mental. My relationship ended after 14 y. Since then 3/4 y later got panic attacks i got scared of it.

Working with client with headaches and taking botox. Client had auto wreck and no support. Client has headaches since wreck. Scans don't find physical problems. Using Dr. Levines trauma techniques. She states these treatments help more than botox injections
How does this work with trauma of which there are no memories at all, say from preverbal age? Is this even possible? Thanks.
What if you don’t remember any specific trauma? What if it’s a bunch of disappointments or traumas but can’t pinpoint which one is still affecting you? We can sometimes go into compensation and think we’ve put it behind us. Now no longer in touch with the event but still retain the reactions, the anger, the sadness and so on.
Sylhomeo i think this happens to me
Do you have something that triggers a negative feeling in you? Or do you have suppressed feelings that affect you a lot subconsciously
Dear Peter, what about EMDR and excessive amlified pain, burping and extreme acid refluxes during and after session, leaving them with days of collapse? This tend to make the patient not want to engage in therapy. How to resource and help this situation? What's behind the burping and acid reflux, pain triggers?
This is great. Thanks.
It sounded like the beginning of EMDR process to identify the thought that tramatized the mind that gave the clinician an opportunity to go further in the session to remove that thought. Maybe I am incorrrect. I am an EMDR clinician and that is why I understand what was just addressed in this.
I definitely feel the body holds buried memories. I was
I have a region of high tension in the middle of my back. I can clearly feel it in relation to unnamed stress. Still I was and am highly functional in my profession as a nurse for already 30 years, which includes also heavy physical work. But this kind of tension goes not along with it. It still is there, feeling sort of a defense against an attack from the off, from behind. - In several sessions with Osteopathy and sometimes massage, when touched there, although KNOWING in advance, I was going to be touched there, I couldn't help and my whole body (back) sort of jumped upwards like if it was a reflex (like patella). It feels extremely alert. All the time.

I was afraid of cornivirus when I went to dentist and weeks after I felt nervous and my walking had a unsteady gate
Psychiatrists term it psychosomatic. The pain in your psyche comes out as an unexplained physical pain and psychiatrists prescribe medicine for it and then the pain goes away but psychiatric treatment itself is somewhat baffling.
So - WHAT was the RESULT???
Thanks!
I went through a lot of heavy arguing in my past relationship. He was telling me really poisonous words, I remember one time he told me maybe I would find my peace if I were dead. I felt all these words in my belly. Now, my belly has been bloated for 2 years continuously and it hurts and doctors haven't found anything. What should I do?

Interesting concept.
Hi Am curious about an area of the body, for me it's upper solar plexus and diaphragm, that I repeatedly have tightened over the years. It's a safety response and the tightening is to "protect" severe anxiety
If there is a defining memory it's very old and I have no recollection of it. So I sit with tightness and breathe with it etc
Any ideas
Bioenergetic stool and deep breathing.
Its been a year since you posted your comment... i have the same "tightened solar plexus" response. Have you come to any conclusions???🤔
@@richardlong9785 I have practiced slowing down and being mindful of when it happens. I notice it's a safety response to situations of feeling inadequate or insecure. I have worked on some memories using Optimal EFT but mostly if I am with it when I notice it, I can give it space to express so to speak. The more aware and honoring it, the less power, and so it's shifting and improved. There's more like breathing in the midst of it and notice the protection of anxiety. And working on tight muscles w yoga, etc. Hope that helps
@@spl5227 I am uncertain of what Optimal EFT is.?. also... finding a key to slow the rush of flooding emotional response could be a huge benefit... right now I'm just barely able to recognize the response is happening. Thank you
I suffer from the same thing
Constant pressure in my chest
And struggle to breath
Its been like this for almost 2 years
I'm sick and tired of feeling like this
I was hoping for something less obvious than "oh, right, that time I was in that war, and I was injured and all my friends were murdered"
Needless to say, most of us don't have something so obvious to "remember" (there is NO WAY a psychologist wouldn't have already thought about this), nor do we remember anything after 2 minutes of looking at our pain. Like most "amazing" psychological treatments, this one smells strongly of bunk.
I agree in all these videos there’s only the veteran example always but there are other traumas and peoblems
Hi lovely people💚
does anyone know what defines trauma? Is trauma anything that seems to have blocked the energy channels in the body?
Trauma can be anything , that has power to overwhelm your rational mind and activates your survival mode ( flight/fight/freeze). During this experience your memory is stored somewhere..so that you can function effectively....
When you have developed intellectual powers , when your mind feels safe then, it will bring out the repressed memories into consciousness....
Energy flows through the body continuously, trauma creates dead spots and muscular holding patterns in the eyes , jaw, chest, diaphragm, the neck etc. And the energy gets stuck there.
Any event that made u feel u safe
Fascinating!
Mine is smell related and filled with disgust which almost makes me vomit. A soft nagging pain on my belly.
Do you experience the smell often? Can you avoid it?
When Peter mentions autonomic memory, does it mean procedural memory?
I'm d be I nice to have 5 mins with peter Levine, started having my body "act"different now for almost 3 years. Took me a 3 years to find about karmic rapid release, leading me here. It very hard to find info about this subject. I'm just trying to understand if I'm clearing and I have to let it finish releasing toxins or if I'm in some sort it of cycle feeding me toxins that I have to release daily. I'll continue to research what each symptom I'm having means and one day I'll form a answer or at the least a direction
What is karmic rapid realease? Can trauma create toxins in our body plz
I was traumatized by the AZ jab I had six weeks ago. I got severe migraines which I don't normally get. I wasn't expecting the side effects and I now have tinnitus which I believe is a brain disorder and hopefully I can conquer the feeling and settle down
Did you report the side effects to VAERS? Check their website for others reporting similar side effects. I had severe migraines after a different jab by SKB many years ago and ended up finding naturopathic healing, juicing, etc to help heal naturally. Sometimes these jabs can create real problems, as they did in my case.
Why does this person keep interupting the video ?
We know how to heal this now.
Just WOW!
Amazing!!
What if the trauma comes up to me when I move my arms (where my symptoms are) but it doesn't reduce the pain? 🥺
Sounds similar to what Eckhart Tolle calls the Pain Body. 🤔
Maybe !? I was in a D.B accident ! When in my coma 3 weeks no memory of any pain. !
En español porfavor. Gracias
WHERE is Dr Levine located
Please?
I think I need help with someone experienced to do this work.
Or it could be an a damaged nerve in the lumbar region. (I see amazing psychosomatic cures during faith healing sermons.) But the neuropathy, or the cancer, or the Huntingtons returns.
Please help me. I chew my lips very badly to the point of torn and bleeding. I allow time to heal then during stress or high concentration I start again. My lips are unsightly and ugly. I am 50 years and would love to stop.
Any suggestions?
this is absolutely not how it works with everyone and i really hope that people watching this don't think that all they have to do is follow a few instructions from a 3 minute video and their pain will go from a 9 to a 2 in a matter of minutes.
I do this already. I;m not leaning anything new,
Help,I have a severe horse injury and been in pain for 5 years.How do I go about addressing it
Shellie Ochs “Healing back pain “ book by John Sarno will help you
psychosomatic illnesses? ...or is it hypochondria? since the pain lessened considerably right after you helped him process his trauma, does that mean his LBP was only in his brain? so, hypochondria? i hv ibs n atopic dermatitis, half of them genetic the other half bc of stress, so theyre psychosomatic, i think. n i manage to get them under control most of the time. by avoiding all triggers, including stress.
How to live with someone who has ptsd....? Please help.
Love and compassion (I had ptsd). Yes it's not easy but patience is the key.
The hard thing in ptsd is we can be very conscious of our problems (as in depression) but stressed out by everything. We see stress, we feel stress, anywhere, anytime.
So we are pretty detached from life and it creates of lot of fatigue, and fatigue creates more stress etc
People suffering from ptsd have to learn again how to relax, the sweet voice of a loved one can help ;)
Of course professional support is needed too.
The more we can calm down, the more we can access to the primal wound(s) to heal it/these.
Hope this helps!
EMDR therapy for the “someone.” It is a highly effective treatment for those suffering from PTSD/C-PTSD.
Truly agree. Sometimes the person will react in ways that cant control. Learn about ptsd and please be supportive, be a strong support for them to hold on when most need. Supportive people around, no judgment, being kind works wonders :)
I want the cure
Is. There someone who can see for help with medications and treatment for CPTDS. I am feeling like I’m not making it.
Sending you love.
