    This is actually helping me to learn how to relax. It is not automatic yet to learn how to relax. Part of it, believe it or not, is that you are a very nice lady. My trauma was early and involved learning, so niceness and patience to explain everything and not test us immediately after (and shame mistakes..my father's style) helps me sooo much with my learning trauma. Thanks for being such a good teacher. It helps me get what I need on a safety level to relax and learn. I can't learn when I don't "feel safe" enough. My brain just seizes up. Having a good teacher is a gift that we don't always get. The safety I need is not just physical, it is actually mostly emotional and worry about how I am going to be treated.. with love or abuse. And then I fawn to try to make my environment the way I need it... supporting my abuser so he/she won't emotionally cut into me.

I have finally gotten myself into therapy after fearing opening Pandora's box to all the traumas I've been through. And after being tested I have been diagnosed with Complex PTSD, major depressive disorder and anxiety. I also have hypothyroidism and IBS. It's crazy that this is all connected and nobody has really connected the pieces together!! Thank you so very much for breaking this down in it's simplest form! I truly appreciate you

      It's not crazy, it's normal, unfortunately. Even one discipline only diagnosis's the most obvious things, for instance, I diagnosed my daughter-in-law with kidney stones when she was pregnant, after 2 unsuccessful trips to the ER. I had no medical experience, I looked up where the pain was, found the organ, read it's common in pregnancy, & given the amount of pain she was in....we went back the 3rd time & I asked them to look for kidney stones & she spent the rest of her pregnancy in Urology. Her kidney was blocked & on the verge of becoming life threatening. My best friend just died after over a decade of nightmares, he knew the Drs personally, he was misdiagnosed 3x with Optical Neuritus, then 3x misdiagnosed when he had MS, then he died with all that & cancer, only for me to figure out it was the Mold disease he got prior that caused the MS, Optical Neuritis, & cancer, & he got a stem cell replacement, but they never addressed the core cause, the disseminated mold disease which caused all of it. I only figured it out after he died because I was so busy researching what he currently had & medications (some side effects are hideous and/or DEATH...my brother in ICU nearly died as a "side effect"). so please do your own research!! I have enough horror stories to write a book. My X-husband worked in the medical field, members of my family are Drs, I know what goes on behind the scenes, even when you know the Dr & they mean well, they can cut a nerve, etc that can cost you a lifetime of pain. Much Love

    Excellent video. I am neuro programming specialist who works with reprogramming muscular sequencing and limbic states. I see these types of trauma patterns everyday, and the evidence is in overwhelming support for the information you provided. This is the way the brain functions, just like a computer in regards to how things become hard coded. It isn't nearly as "smart" as people think, and the programming rarely is logical. AKA you had a terrible experience (trauma) in a bathroom when you were young, and therefore ALL bathrooms are triggers (unsafe). The link between past programming (schema) and the way the brain/body responds to the stimulus is constantly fascinating. The way the brain shuts off/deactivates muscular systems due to this programming/fight flight is a large aspect of my work. Great presentation!

I just wish doctors would be more mindful and not put so much pressure on it and actually listen and trust their patient. I do my best to avoid going to the gp at all costs nowadays.

I cannot tolerate a quiet room for very long. If music is too calming when my anxiety is high? It can increase my dread or fail to drown out the bad memories trying to take focus in my head. It is why meditation is difficult for me due to PTSD.

Sometimes I break down because all I want is a moment of comfort, safety, contentment but I can’t seem to let myself have it. I have always felt stuck in survival mode, so much so that when I would try to relax through meditation and such, my muscles would start spasming. It never feels safe, but I am learning to grow, heal, and let go. I’m grateful that you mentioned BPD in a way that doesn’t stigmatize people like me further, so thank you.

      @@DocSnipes Sorry for all of the posts. All of your analysis has been useful. Cognitive Therapy did help me at least use physical objects to regain control of my thoughts in a pinch. It helped me understand the need to reprogram my instincts the best that I could. My mistakes go back to the misunderstanding of where bounderies lie. Sadly, religion interfered too much in my decision making process. Jesus may forgive and forgive but this puts families into a never ending cycle of violence. Children as well when we are taught an alien being will rescue us or prevent us from serious harm. It made me think as a child that death was more beautiful then life. To a child trapped in an abusive home, death can appear as the only means to stop the abuse. Not every child can accept being horribly abused. They will act out in whatever means possible to protect themselves from becoming a non- being for someone to keep abusing.
      I was rescued by dad's family before someone got murdered. To be so close to such an act as a child ..it affected my level of empathy. It also though made me want to do what I could to provide some children with a safe and proper living environment free from abusers.

    Hi, your videos were brought to my attention because I hold support groups for chronic Lyme Disease sufferers. I am incorporating the vagus nerve as an approach to healing. I wish I could have someone like you to speak on how important it is to work on therapeutic exercises to switch our sympathetic to Parasympathetic nervous system. We are located in Williamsport, Pa. I am a Wellness Coach at Freshlife and have dealt with a lot of people with chronic Lyme. They all have a common denominator even though they all are effected differently. Their common denominator is that they are all traumatized into being The Disease Lyme, therefore they lost their individuality. As a result constantly under stress physically and mentally. If there is a way through simple information about WHY we need to nourish our vagus nerve, I would appreciate it.

    • @DocSnipes
      @DocSnipes  4 місяці тому

      * Nourishing the vagus nerve is crucial for several reasons, primarily related to its role in regulating the body's stress and relaxation responses. Here are some key points:
      * Regulation of Stress and Relaxation: The vagus nerve helps balance the autonomic nervous system by switching off the stress response when a threat has passed. This balance is essential for emotional regulation, reducing inflammation, and improving overall well-being.
      * Emotional and Physical Health: Good vagal tone is associated with better emotional regulation, reduced pain, improved sleep, and increased energy levels. It also helps in reducing the frequency of the stress response system being triggered, which is beneficial for mental health.
      * Trauma Recovery: Strengthening vagal tone can aid in releasing trauma trapped in the body. This process involves uncoupling stimuli from the stress response, allowing individuals to be exposed to triggers without experiencing a stress reaction.
      * Cardiovascular Health: Vagus nerve stimulation has been used to address cardiovascular disorders like arrhythmias, heart failure, and arterial hypertension. It helps in balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic influences on the heart, reducing stress-related cardiovascular issues.
      * Mindfulness and Grounding: Practices like mindfulness, grounding, and various breathing exercises can stimulate the vagus nerve, promoting relaxation and helping the brain recognize safe contexts.
      * Incorporating activities such as deep breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, and even simple actions like humming or singing can help nourish and strengthen the vagus nerve, leading to numerous physical and emotional health benefits.

    It's important to consider exercise intensity with respect to stress relief.
    The metabolic biproduct adenisine binds to its respective receptors, and slows activity throughout the nervous system including adrenal systems, thereby slowing cortisol and norepinephrine release. Conversely exercise at too high of an intensity may increase cortisol and norepinephrine levels.
    Cardiovascular adaptations due to chronic exercise may also decrease basal heart rate (sympathetic tone) which "competes" with parasympathetic ie vagus tone. In so doing 1 may experience a shift in favor of the latter.

My left chest was crushed & surgeons took my left lateral oblique abdominal muscle & wrapped it around to my scapula to hold my repaired chest together. I've not been able to soothe myself at all since then. A lifetime of trauma was reactivated by pain & worries about vulnerability. Then a resistant Pseudamonas sinus infection required IV antibiotics lasting months which screwed up an already damaged gut biome. It has recurred this year & I finally had to take floxins again. My family just sees me as difficult, not sick & injured. I can't afford to live alone. I've looked for mental health support but there's no providers that accept my Medicare anywhere near me. I'm hanging on by a thread here. I don't want more drugs, I want to feel some relief. What can I do?
