    This man has so much passion for trauma work. I belive that this is the future of medicine and psychotherapy. Everything is about the body safety. You cant do CBT, or something like thinking and orienting on the thoughts, because it is not regulating nervous system just by speaking. Tried it, been there. Somatic orientation practicies and therapy are much more efective on trauma healing. Because highly intellectual beings are in some discociative state from the body. Because body didnt feel safe, you go in to youre mind trying to avoid body sensations. I was so mistaking trying to do spiritual bypass, CBT, meditating, even doing yoga. I was pushing myself into those practice because I thought that my brain is the problem. It is all stored in the body. So I love this phylosophy, and this man should have Nobels price for healing the whole human species now and in the future. It is the basics for deep healing of trauma.

    The polyvagal theory informs everything humans do....it should be foundational in education for students to learn how feelings of safety or threat impact thoughts and behavior. Also, educators must be mandated to learn how their demeanor, body language, voice modulation and the the eductional environment they create, generates feelings of engagment, opposition, or retreat and shut down in their students. It is critical for learning and for mental and social emotional health.

    What a fantastic discussion, loaded with goodness! Dr. Porges’ work is needless to say quite relevant for the world today especially considering his take on the very functional role of the nervous system with regard to our neurobiology and the overall trauma-informed approach/perspective. I look forward to delving further into his work.
    I am also ecstatic to have just discovered this amazing channel, which proffers so much in the way of practical, holistic mind-body content. I just downloaded the podcast! Much appreciated.

    Good point about regulating alone for some people. This calls for an integration with personality types. Us introverts calm and relax without the demands of association with others. On the other hand looking at it different tly, socialisation is a broad experience. : we are happy if we have a social group, that provides us with love and validity. We just don't have to interact with them every mi ite of the day to be centred and stable emotionally.

    Perhaps we never heal alone.. Could it be that the understanding interdependency is beyond anything us humans,or i can comprehend totally so one has to keep being constantly reminded in whatever form,or, traumas or teaching this manifest that we're connected a bit silly or could it be considered a bit insane, who's to know
    peace be with you all today thank you

      It really is about love= patience kindness gentleness long suffering grace in our connection with God (forgive if offensive to mention God) but for me he is the lifeline of love. He also is the creator of all knowledge and enlightenment.

    So, all is good, but how can calibrate nervous system to do it work with efficacy? It seems it has three choice of mode to reach for, according to situation.

    • @TheMindHealth360Show
      @TheMindHealth360Show  Рік тому

      Fight, flight, freeze, but also rest, digest, repair and heal. Lots of different states. It's the ability of the nervous system to fluently and appropriately go from one state to the other that determines the health of our nervous system. Regulating the nervous system through meditation, a healthy lifestyle, and somatic therapies can be very helpful. Good luck with it all! Warmest wishes xx

    Our external social enviroment can equally be the problem rather than the solution. Safety can mean being left alone to allow the body to repair itself. Porges still see everything coming from outside the self. We have a psycho immune system to protect ourself rooted in our gut digestive system.

    People shouldn't have to practice breathing, meditate, chant, and he hand held or massaged all day. That's not practical and creates a state of constant introspection. I've done all of this and it leads to even more avoidance of triggers and overwhelm.

    • @jld4870
      @jld4870 2 роки тому +1

      Or could it be we live in an extremely extroverted but detached society. I am one who also prefers my own company but I wonder if it is because it is less threatening than being with others who are ‘gregarious’ yet detached which leaves me feeling unsafe. Detached for me equals living behind ‘closed doors’, which equals feeling insecure because I never knew where I stood in relationships which stems from being detached. Not sure that makes sense but it’s what came to me so thought I’d share.

    • @TheMindHealth360Show

      Agreed.... I like Dr. Porges' take on this: that we don't need to co-regulate with other humans, but we can also co-regulate with pets... I think we are all wired differently and for some of us, too much human contact can be dysregulating... For others it's more regulating... We are all so diverse... Thanks for your feedback xx
