This should be a mandatory subject taught from kindergarten all the way through to any PhD.
THANK YOU TTM
♥
I totally agree
eh but kindergardeners wouldn ustand
might be a topic worth covering for the 5th grade, and those intrigued can dive deeper
YEssss, and the whole concept and awareness of trauma at the outset. (to be 'trauma-informed'). And how this ISN'T 'delving into the murk just to stay there...'.
I just created 3 classes at Shasta College on this topic, so needed in our area!
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
This video made me realize I'm basically a walking ball of PTSD right now
It's been getting worse recently, with lots of physical symptoms due to the constant stress, which itself triggers even more stress... it's terrible.
I haven't been able to get a secure option for therapy for the last 2-3 years. I'm going to start pressing harder for my doctor to assign me a therapist because the fact that it's been left basically untreated for this long is clearly making my life miserable.
The fact that this is treatable fills me with so much hope.
The crappy childhood fairy, Internal Family Systems and polyvagal theory might help. I'm finding a combination of polyvagal and IFS is really helping. Hugs to you
@@jam-if2ej have to agree I'm learning the Polyvagal Theory and find it helps after year's of PTSD 😀 onwards and upwards 👍
why don’t you choose a therapist for yourself? one that works for you. i send you love and compassion.
how are you now
HOw are you doing today?
Great video. Listening with headphones, my ANS didn't appreciate it starting with a thunderclap.
I also found this an ironic start to the video! Let's get traumatised people out of their safe zone at the start of an informational video about trauma response!
😄🙈 i agree....
I can’t figure out how to make a boo hoo emoji… so I’ll just say boo hoo.
@@phylcoolins2228
Love it!💕
Haha!
My therapist sent me this lol
me too 😂
@@lilli538 Hell yeah, hope it's going well my friend
@@ZeroFlowers you too!!
LOL, me too
Same!
My counsellor sent me this and has been trying to get me to start and only now after over a year of dysregulation post a late diagnosis for autism and adhd is it more obvious about the trauma and chronic stress am I ready to deal with all the root causes. This video is incredibly informative and one I will be passing on to my clients. Thank you for creating this and for putting it out there it’s so beautifully done and so simple and concept! X
It feels like I'm always mobilized, it never stops, not when I'm sleeping, not when I'm awake.
Just constant, overwhelming need to keep going.
me too
Hey I don’t know you however I know that I care about you and have love for you.I have trauma to complex PTSD. And it’s not fun if I focus on it it just gets worse but I implore you to seek the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves you and he died for you. Following him will not take all your problems away but it will give you eternal security and comfort and peace and when you don’t feel the peace call out to Him and he will lead and guide you.Blessings!
I second that, even tho I'm not religious. The Highest Teachings to come thru a Master I've seen here on Earth! ❤
you have to sit with the discomfort of not doing anything. Complete silence. Let the demons come at you, Then you'll be able to get through it. Gotta go through the storm and pain in order to get that rainbow and runner's high
Love this video. As a therapist, I often get my clients to watch it. Very informative, easy to understand and a great resource.
Hey! As a patient, I find it informative, easy to understand, and a great resource. So I'm glad we're on the same page.
Are you licensed in Utah?
@@TheKyleFylesthey don't really respond a lot on the internet they have an Ask psychiatrist Reddit
Im in awe, I’ve experienced 6+ ACEs and it scared me. Wish me luck on my journey to a healthier ANS. Thanks so much for this video, it helps me and lots others understand ourselves!!!
Crazy enough this is ancient knowledge. Chakra healing is exactly this and restores the ANS and your life
OMG! This explains so much about me and why I seem to be systematically collecting all the diseases in the world! I need to fix my ANS.
WHEN PEOPLE GO THROUGH ACCIDENTS AND PEOPLE SEE THEM WITHOUT MUCH OF PHYSICAL INJURIES LIKE BLOOD COMING OUT PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE OKAY BUT INSIDE THEY ARE BROKEN DOWN COMPLETELY . VICTIMS OF ACCIDENT ALWAYS STRUGGLE TO OVER COME THE PAIN , MENTAL TRAUMA AND SUFFERING. THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS IT SO NICELY WHAT IS HAPPENING WITHIN US
An awesome and practical summary of a super-important topic that profoundly affects and influences *every single human being*. This needs to have 800 Million views, rather then the current 800 thousand views. I agree with other commenters that it would be a marvelous piece to include in regular student education.
Thanks to The Trauma Foundation for conceiving and creating this vid! I will pass along the link. (I am a Coach, skilled in Internal Family Systems (IFS), which has been profoundly effective in my own personal healing, even before I made it central to my Coaching practice.) Cheers!
Would love a follow up on how loved ones can best support someone with trauma. I feel at a loss and I’d be lying if I said that my loved one’s actions in a trauma state didn’t negatively impact our relationship and myself.
this is such an important question for all of us! I'm working on it, too - how not to be influenced by another's fear state! Breathing, awareness and following all the most important guidelines help, but often it can take us by surprise and knock us off balance, so we don't respond from our "green" state. It's big work, but I think it's really the most important work any of us can do to have a happy life..
@@leanavine thank you so much for responding. I'm a work in progress too
We are doing some family counselling with our 27 yr. old child to help us all learn better and they shared us this video as part of our sessions.. due to the cost of the sessions we are trying to do weekly meeting without the counsellor too, to help us learn to talk..and understand what triggers us. maybe a few sessions together may help.. we are using our birthday and Christmas funds instead of gifts, investing in ourselves..
my family is PART of the trauma because mom was extremely controlling.
Therein lies the problem: I want to be around positive, calm people because they calm me down and help me move toward a better state. Positive, calm people too often don't want to be around me because it disrupts their state.
They should do a video about the correlation between attachment styles and the Nervous system
what is that?
@@azuurasmr7937
Search Dr Gabor Mate and attachment on YT.
@@azuurasmr7937 you could search about attachment styles. The information is available on UA-cam itself.
This is one of the very best educational video on this topic. Most impressive.
Anybody here because their therapist sent them?
BWAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂
Yep lol
Yes 😢
I loved this video btw. It made me cry and really touched me. And, it touched me to the point that I felt it important enough to bring up the reality that the only way to end trauma on a global scale is through global revolution. I really hope that we all can learn to regulate enough to pull it off. Perhaps global revolution could be the mass push to regulate all of our nervous systems that our world needs. Its all intrinsically tied together. I have so much respect for the power of survival and the way that it has shaped our world.
I teared up too. Yes, a global scale revolution like the "Hippie Era."
That's a good idea! @@maureenhouston2813
Wow! This is a fantastic and concise version of the presentations I've been doing for a couple years on Polyvagal Theory, trauma and the ACE study. Beautifully done in simple, easy to understand terms. Of course, there's a lot more to this information than what can fit into 9 minutes, but I think this is a very accessible introduction to these concepts. Thank you for putting this together.
I agree with you, but a great video
Agreed. One of the most concise nuggets I've come across.
What's the ACE study?
@@fbcork2003 Adverse Childhood Experiences. If you Google, you can find a quiz. online.www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/03/02/387007941/take-the-ace-quiz-and-learn-what-it-does-and-doesnt-mean
@@thedogshouterer Thanks Shannon. It's like someone in stage IV cancer asking what's a tumour..
This video is brilliant. So clear and concise and helpful. It empowers us to see we are choosing reactions in our bodies - our ANS is taking us where it helps us to be safer. Safe is the foundation of healing. Thank you, Stephen Porges for bringing the Polyvagal Theory to this world.
Funny I didn't get that from this video at all. I understood we are "not choosing our reactions" at all, rather our body is choosing it automatically...without our control..
very well done! Simple yet clear for anyone to begin the study of how trauma is an experience we move through in our lives...thank you so much!
I help people in workplaces and schools understand and navigate their nervous systems so they have the tools to shift their state to feel calm, curious and connected, this video is a fantastic resource to share with them, thank you
More, please. Maybe consider the following for future videos related to trauma: attachment styles, food, complex PTSD, methods to entering recovery.
ON POINT! Best rendition of ANS and our world I've seen 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Agreed. Sending to EVERYONE!
Well done! One of the most clear and concise descriptions I have seen.
Thank you. The video clearly identified trauma and its impact.
Excellent, clear introduction that I use for education with my clients.
I was traumatized in 2020 by an abusive cyber hacker, thief, stalker from Ottawa. His name is David Cavlovic.
I'm so proud of myself for standing up to this dangerous guy I never met. I obtained a police report and will be exposing him in court with my sister as my witness.
And I never stopped doing my creative modeling throughout the repeated digital abuse.
I'm a strong chic and never allow others to get away with committing crimes against me.
I never stopped trusting others in spite of the digital abuse.
I did this all on my own.
This video is an incredible gem of information! Thank you so much!
I will divide this very good and simle video here in Germany to fear-depressive, bipoolar and other people. I am a anti-depressive and anti-fear coach, a neurochemist and live in Frankfurt. Bernhard Pallmann
Fantastic educational PSA. Let’s all spread this far and wide, as all humans will benefit from understanding this- especially our military and first responder communities where many of us came in with ACEs seeking community and purpose. Thank you thank you for the simple and enjoyable film!
8:57 HOW is this helpful? this is horrifying.
This is great. My only query is about how we help ourselves and others heal while living without direct contact with others in the era of covid. Contact with others or meeting the cost of therapy won't be possible for many even after a return to relative normality so I'm glad nature and yoga were mentioned. It's perhaps beyond the scope of this video but further information about therapies and ways of healing independently would be helpful.
IFS therapy can be done on your own
@@rapisode1 I agree with this and have done a huge amount of work on myself (though it helps being a therapist). I think I was querying the suggestion of the video that we can only heal in relationship. God help many of us of that's true!
There are lots of good exercises in utube sending messages through the body to via the vagus nerve to help regulate, calm down, the stress response.
I've done some by Suki Baxter, which are effective, feel instantly calm!
Tapping, exercises available on utube, is also good.
Good luck.
Good explanation, but like many of these videos glosses over the thing people really want to know, which is how to heal. And not everyone can just spend all their time with other regulated people.
There's a great book by Deb Dana called something like 'exercises for safety and connection' and it has loads of exercises to help us find a sense of safety in our nervous system, which can support us as we heal from trauma. Also look at resources perhaps from Pat Ogden, she has a brilliant (huge) book of resources for working with the body when we have experienced trauma and attachment wounding. It's fantastic resource and also something you can do independently as well as in partnership with a therapist :-)
Right ✅️!!
Thank you so much for this clear, concise, and possibly life saving information. People can really change their lives if they can learn the patterns that stimulate the ANS and vagus nerve.
This explanation of dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system is approachable for many and a great overview of the topic! Bravo! I will be sharing this with my network.
I’m fortunate to not need it but agree with others subtitles/closed captioning needed for info to be accessible to all who can benefit.
This is an excellent video ❤
Just one suggestion: could you make subtitles available?
I am hard of hearing and it's very difficult for me to understand it completely.
Subtitles would make a huge improvement and also help spreading the message.
Thanks for taking the time to read this 😉
@ironfang bigheart woah!!! Thank you sooo much for taking the time to transcribe and sum up the whole video! It means a lot to me ❤
Thanks again for all your hard work, I have no words 🤗
@ironfang bigheart I agree. This topic is highly important and making it available for many people should be top priority.
You did a wonderful job, thanks again for your kindness ❤
My understanding is that there is a You Tube setting you can engage that brings up subtitles for all videos. I could be wrong.
@@Tmlatyoutube the only setting I know of is "subtitles on/off" in every video, which is currently deactivated in this one in particular because it says there are no subtitles available.
Perhaps you're talking about a different setting I don't know about?
Here is a link to an accessible version with English subtitles: ua-cam.com/video/uH5JQDAqA8E/v-deo.html
This is a great video. It is short, concise, easy to understand. Glad I watched this...
My therapist emailed this to me yesterday. It hit me, like many revelations hit me. I have been sobbing so much lately. I told him I do not understand it, but I am sobbing like I am mourning. He said I could be mourning the person I was and all the trauma I have been through in my life. Feeling empathy for my past self. It gives me lots of painful headaches, but it is a release of energy and draining which I prefer than to have the Globus pharyngeus which affects me with more fear. He said that little ball in my throat that appearance when my stress and anxiety rises high is an actual panic attack. It has been on I can never calm or get rid of until I fall asleep for the night. Being in fight, flight, or freeze mode all the time wears down every part of me. So sick, in so much physical pain, so tired of not feeling alive or me. I am getting better, very slowly, but better than many. I hope and pray for us all. I know God has saved my life many times and has guided me so far towards recovery and understanding that I am worthy of His love and a beautiful life and eternity. He has given me more understanding that I am a daughter of Him (as we all are His children) and I am loved more than I can imagine. This helps me a lot because He is awesome and if He loves me, I am learning that I do have great value outside of any human's opinion of me.
This saved me! Thank you for making my recovery journey relatable!
My psychologist gave me this link to watch yesterday and it has really informed me. bigger understanding of all aspects of trauma and what life is around me forming in my head. Big thanks.
Who else here cause their therapist sent this link?
😂🙋🏾♀️
Look up the girl in the velcro dress analogy.
Just a big thank you for creating this video 🙏
I'm seeing a therapist at the moment, she's got a lot of experience with addictions. She gave me a good tip when I'm feeling anxious or having difficult thoughts. Just to say to myself that everything's ok and also think of myself as a baby feelling very scared. It does seem to help ease my anxiety.
found this extremely helpful. thank you so much for sharing
This video is wonderful though I am very grateful to be able to slow it down to 0.75x speed!
I always feel immobilized or frozen from fear, and I really do experience them as being of such magnitude (even if it isn't), that I think my body thinks it must play dead in order to survive, because the big bad "tiger" in form of someone firing me from my job or someone leaving me is lurking behind the bush all the time, even if there is no problem at the time. What is a minor source of worry for a healthy person, is an existential crisis for me, which is exhausting. Great video, would be interested in what therapeutic modalities are there for CPTSD in regard to this video. Thanks.
Same for me, always immobilized.
That's what trauma does to you, the bear is coming so you are in a constant state of anxiety. Stimulants such as coffee and carbs aggravate the 'active' state of the body. Through breathing and yoga, you can calm the body down.
Same here. And it seems these people with a healthy ANS are nowhere to be seen, and if they're seen, it's only from afar, they're not interested in people with an unhealthy ANS. Perhaps us with an unhealthy ANS should stick together, since at least we understand what it's all about.
I always dread being with my sister because everything is an emergency and I’m expected to jump and react exactly like she does and measure up to all of her expectations or she is very unhappy. Fortunately her husband and son have very calm demeanors with quiet and calm voices. I think it helps her but they both give her everything she needs so she seems to stay in a state of protection. I have done the same things but I feel like I’m more aware. I will be traveling to her home and am dreading the “boot camp” I will be in. I’m learning boundaries but it’s unpleasant to set them.
@@lisabarlow6098 The child is lucky to have had atleast 1 calm present person to attune to
Thank you! This will be great to share with EFT clients!
This is a great video! I teach trauma-informed Mindfulness and yoga. I also give talks on the impact of trauma and trauma-informed practices in mainland China. I absolutely love how informative and concise this video is! I also love the animation! I sometimes find it challenging explaining the involvement of the polyvagal system to folks who don’t have any background in psychology. The polyvagal theory is such a useful tool not only in understanding the impacts of trauma, but also empowering survivors through a neurobiology-informed lens. The animation really makes it so much easier to follow and understand! I wonder if I can have your permission to make a subtitle in Chinese to this video, as well as uploading this video (with Chinese subtitles) to a Chinese video sharing website? So I can share this video to people who are interested in this topic but can’t access UA-cam (UA-cam is censored in mainland China) and/or can’t follow in English? I won’t change the content of your video, all that I will do is to add Chinese subtitles. When I upload, I will link to your UA-cam channel and website. I would so appreciate if I can have your permission to create a subtitle in Chinese so that I can share this video with more people!
Gotta find me some others who are "safe, attuned, and present" to connext with and do yoga thank you for the inspiring video amen !
Thank you for this video! Please please provide closed captions/subtitles to make this video more accessible
Awesome! Is it possible to have the subtitles turned on to make the video accessible to more people?
I’m fortunate to not need them but agree. It’s 4 mths later and still no subtitles or closed captioning.
Thanks for asking this. Im hearing impaired and was really disappointed that this video didnt have captions. I didnt get like half the video. It sucks because my counselor recommended me watching it.
You can turn on closed captioning in the top right screen of UA-cam. It’s how I’m watching it right now.
@ The trauma foundation I would love to see more of these educational and informative videos.
A fabulous resource! Clear, concise, accurate and easy to understand. I will most certainly be encouraging clients to use this video to explain polyvagal theory. Many thanks. Top marks.
We love this so much. Yoga has been really helpful for us to help us regulate our ANS.
I will recommend you to my mycologist who I get all psychedelics from
Dude is on Instagram
What a beautiful and elegant way to present this deeply important message!
All sounds good, but people with CPTSD can become so isolated and the people with the healthy ANS are no where to be seen or simply not interested, and that's something that's totally out of the control of the sufferer. No chance of reversing anything in complete isolation. I speak for myself, by the way. I have no past, no present and no future. It's all hell and there's no hope in isolation.
Hey be brave you should know you are a gem and a an asset to the world regardless of suppport system lack. It’s difficult but try to find a confidential maybe even free helpline to reach out to and give it a chance! Your amazing 🤩
@@Me.675 thank you ❤
@magusl9628 you can do this. At least two people on the Internet believe in you.
@@missl6631 thank you. I have tried everything and it all failed, now I'm finding comfort in my faith (I'm catholic).
Thank you for making a well rounded video that explains how trauma affects the ANS.
Thank you. I found this very informative. So many people think of trauma in terms of shock only. I personally suffered trauma from covid and an election that divided the country and now of course with being bombarded with chemical food news, imbalances of power...and the list goes on.
Very clear and relatable. Appreciate the clearly drawn outcomes as connected to the number of experiences. I know there can be exceptions but this seems sound as a general rule.
Unless a child has someone to guide them through understanding the experiences and how to process them in relation to self, it's pretty hazardous, and most folks in the environment often don't have the insight to see what's happening. A lot of times people just do the best they know to do with a child.
If you have generations of dysfunction and a culture that families are formed and live in... it won't be a pretty outcome, which I think is evident in a lot of inner cities (usually the most obvious). Things like music, art, writing and introspection were the inner life preservers I caught hold of that led me to the conviction that I had unique value and a spiritual voice that others couldn't always hear. Eventually I connected this voice to the reality of God and the knowledge that dysfunction and distortion on every level was something common to man (not just me). But even though my perspective of myself and the world has gained great clarity and with it has come great peace and contentment... my nervous system is sometimes like a rebelliously reluctant elephant, slow to just chill and venture to the watering hole, in some circumstances, enough to be an undesirable impediment.
Tomorrow's a new day and another opportunity, armed with knowledge and an assurance of plan and purpose that I could not have had yesterday!
Horribly shrewd, and bang on the money. I'm 65 yo and, beyond the best things that I try to achieve myself (my own graft) I wonder whether I can ever find happiness?
So I agree and relate to nearly everything in here aside from the ‘surrounding yourself with calm and happy people makes you better” because actually when I’m with people who are classed as “normal” it kinda makes me feel more… abnormal? And there’s also this unspoken sense of camaraderie with friends who have similar issues to you, like helping eachother through, being able to have somebody to relate to so you don’t feel completely alone and isolated. Does anybody else feel the same or am I just crazy and not helping myself 😂
Amazing video. What about short circuit method to calm the nervous system with cold exposure? I found it very relieving when i have pannic attack or i feel like im too stressed.
Coldness will trigger a stress response, but by breathing through it you will calm the body towards a deep state of relaxation
Thank you very much! It really very helpful, especially for those struggling with PTSD! Will be waiting for more videos!❤
I could die from the pain of missing my best friend.
Or not really my best friend,
but they guy whom I thought was my best friend...
He betrayed and abandoned me,
discarded me like garbage.
Replaced me for another.
My mind can't fathom, my heart can't comprehend.
I live in perpetual panic and constant longing...
How could he not miss me?
How could he do this to me?
Did he just replace me, really, just like that?
I'm dying inside. My soul is truly raped
and my heart is shattered.
I could really feel the pain in your comment and I'm really sorry you had to go through this. Know that you deserve people in your life that appreciate you for who you are.
Narcissistic abuse and trauma bonds are real. If you can love, find a trauma therapist to help you navigate these feeling and work out the negative beliefs ingrained due to this abusive friendship.
I’ve heard it said “God was not in the event, but He is in how we respond to the event”.
Shalom ✌️
God bless 🙏🙏🏾🙏
This is brilliant!!! It does such an excellent job educating about trauma and its impacts.
I love this video and it explains things in a very easy to understand way. Before any energy healing session focusing with a client, I share this to watch. Great info! Would love to see "energy healing" added to some of the slides as it benefits so many working on these topics, but hopefully in the future it will be more mainstream :) Thank you for the video!
This was immensely helpful for me and I've shared it with a friend who I think will be very re-assured by it. thank you so much for creating it and posting it.
I appreciate this visual. Thank you for this- it explains a lot of my survival instincts.
I'm not a therapist. What I teach IS trauma-informed though. Lots of ways to heal, and the body-mind connection is the key.
Wow, simple but helped clarify more than yrs of therapy. Simplifies beliefs of Dr. Gabor Mate and others. 🙏 PS how much new trauma created from lockdowns or forced/coerced new drugs?
Buenísima reflexión!

Greatest explanation of ANS and Polyvagal theory..
I Tried shrooms and it seemed to helped a little... watching this has helped me understand the Mechanisms at work , Thank you for making this,,,,,
Subscribed but this channel only has one vid! Great vid. Keep up the great work!
It might be interesting to see instead of "poverty" being the source of trauma- saying capitalism and more specifically exploitation based in hierarchy where certain castes and classes of people are literally legally deemed unworthy enough to be traumatized without remorse over and over again via war, imprisonment, colonization, and manipulation of culture, resources and daily life in such a way that poverty is literally impossible to escape unless exposing ones self to further experiences of great danger such as immigration and sex work. Capitalism and the open embrace of dehumanization and blatant disregard for the lives of impoverished people is the source of trauma. I only say this as someone from poverty who experiences a lot of very unhelpful and oddly dismissive beliefs within upper class communities of healers in which those with wealth refuse to take accountability for their part in creating a world in which impoverished people exist even though the entire overt nature of capitalism is hierarchical and competitive which inevitably leads to war and trauma as despite the deranged fantasies of billionaires and millionaires, no one will peacefully be controlled or willingly take on states of lowliness while others are "at the top",
The crisis of capitalism lives within our nervous systems
I hear you, good point!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Preach it. ❤️🖖
The 'systems' are traumatising the population by default. From birth on. It's not natural to live this way, confined to this 'programs/systems'.
Deeper than that... spiritual deprivation. Systems are implemented and administrated by people. People create systems. People are resilient and can handle the experiences of environment or systems if properly supported and nurtured by other people. But if people have no value base other than what their environment tells them... then they internalize the environmental distortion and pass it on to others and it is the recipient's ill-prepared perceptions of the meaning of their experiences which manifest as trauma within them, because the distortion is not what they were made for, they were not made to thrive on informational value distortions, just like a car is not made to run on sugar. But if you feed them love, truth, confidence and inner security... they can overcome the system (capitalist , socialist or otherwise).
The thing that separates human suffering from that of animals is that we are able to attribute meaning to pain and catastrophe. That's what makes it traumatic. It becomes a part of how we see ourselves and the world. It's that processing that imprints in our nervous system and psychologically connects us to reactions to events that seem like they have the same or similar meanings.
I really enjoyed this description, very clear and enjoyable to watch.
This is fabulous. Well executed and explained
Living on this planet can shut you down.
😢😢
An excellent video. Really well explained and illustrated.
My new counselor just intro me this video. I don't have ptsd but i'd been greatly triggered since childhood due to abnormal immature parents. Quite true as well, for Mariah carey i just read her memoir. its hard!
Thank you for this video!
This video is amazing. It explains it super clearly!
Thank you so much for making this video💗💗💗
thank.you... thank you... thank you soooooo much for the amazing video.
Absolutely fabulous video...pow! Thank you.
Why do we put traumatized students together in the same “trauma informed schools”? How can we expect a student to co-regulate when everyone in their classroom is traumatized? Is it realistic to assume a single teacher is enough to provide co-regulation? I’ve taught at two schools specializing in these students, and I don’t believe they work. It’s difficult to assess when we don’t have other models to compare with, but I strongly believe the students I had would have had more success had they been in a school surrounded by non-traumatized students helping with co-regulation. I’ve years of experience in mainstream schools too, and I strongly believe this is the case. Also, I’ve been traumatized myself, and it’s clear, seeking out other traumatized people is the complete opposite of one does during that time.
I believe both "mirrors" are needed for recovery. But i believe you have a valid point
One of the best videos ever
I never want to hear someone say ANS again, but generally enjoyed the video
Thank you so much, this is fantastic!
Das ist eine sehr schöne Erklärung. Danke :)
Very interesting 😮
thank you so much for putting this video together so informative!
Very beautifully explained.
What a fantastic video, helped me understand a lot about myself. Thank you :)
This is a great video!
Wow, absolutely brilliant video! 👏
This is a very good video- very informative! The only thing I would say negative about it is that the piano music is loud and it's hard to hear the speaker.
Excellent video! Thank you!
