Aided by best-selling psychology books of the last decade, such as Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score, discussions about trauma and how to deal with it have entered popular public discourse. From police departments to school classrooms, trauma-informed approaches have taken center stage.
But leading neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett challenges the popular notion that trauma resides solely in the body. She asserts that trauma is rooted in the brain’s predictions and the construction of our experiences. When an adverse experience becomes traumatic, the brain heavily weighs and anticipates that experience in its future predictions. This ongoing prediction and re-experiencing of the traumatic event strengthens the neural connections associated with it, making the predictions more likely to occur in the future.
Rather than focusing on the body as the site of healing, she suggests that changing the brain’s models of prediction is what needs to be addressed to break free from the cycle of trauma. By understanding the role of predictions and the brain’s plasticity, Feldman Barrett offers hope for transforming traumatic experiences and finding new, lasting paths to healing.

To all those hurting souls in search of solace online, I want you to know you're not alone. Connection has the power to heal. Seek out empathetic individuals, engage in meaningful conversations, and build a network of support. Remember, healing is not linear. Let the power of human connection carry you through. You are not alone - we are here with you.
Thank you for these words!
your advice is great but unfortunately empathetic individuals are extremely rare, I have few people I can have a meaningful conversation with, and in 40 years of life I haven't been able to build a network of support - that is extremely hard. Especially when you live in a poor area or are born in poverty, those things are extremely hard, especially when you yourself don't have a lot to offer. Or when you have an illness. My family never supported me with anything important, I had to do everything alone. I do have a few good friends, but they have their own challenges and there is only so much they can do.
That isn't how a capitalistic society functions. All relationships are transactional and fake.

Thank you
The new connections our brains make heals trauma. This might explain why it was easier as a young adult to be able to recover from PTSD after almost two decades of child abuse. It took all of me to learn how to appreciate touch and to trust adults again. To regain control of my life, end the abuse, and ignore the fear. To not flinch, to not cry, to not tremble, to not look down. Fear encompassed so much of my life then. It’s so so beautiful on the other side

How did you heal? I have tried so many things but my anxiety is still really awful
You have to effectively process it first. You haven't really moved on if you've just buried or forgotten it. That is why some people break down mid life after stuff they went through when young rears it's ugly head again. Young people are lucky if they can talk to someone supportive following trauma, and hence don't store it away in their subconscience . Although every one is different.
Recovering from trauma is a lifelong process and sometimes people ignore the fact that they have trauma until the repercussions of unresolved trauma manifest in one's actions, causing harm to oneself or others. Personally, I came to confront and address my own unresolved trauma during my early 30s. It was during this phase that I began to comprehend how my actions as a young adult were intricately linked to the lingering impacts of childhood traumatic experiences. This connection between trauma and subsequent behaviors is profound, shedding light on how unaddressed emotional wounds can give rise to self-destructive tendencies and adversely affect interpersonal relationships. In certain instances, unresolved trauma can contribute to the development of various mental health disorders, including personality disorders, which may persist throughout an individual's lifetime. But it is important to emphasise that the journey towards recovery and healing is not bound by age. While trauma can leave enduring scars, it is equally true that with the right support, resources, and determination, individuals can gradually mend these wounds and regain a sense of control over their lives.

The Big Think has overtaken the place TED used to hold in my heart and mind.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment
Please does anyone know where can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms?
Psychedelics have potential to deal with mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
@@lewiswalker1540 yeah dr_williams_tripsz
Tripping is not really bad but find a good mycologist Who will teach you the right things you need to know
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. imagine carrving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
I've been in & out of therapy for 50 years because of the trauma I experienced as a teen. It has wreaked havoc on my entire life. Part of the trauma resulted in me becoming physically disabled, causing me to live in the place, with the people who were responsible for the trauma. There was always a constant reminder due to these facts. Each time I'd be on the brink of a breakthrough, there would always be a word or action in that environment to drag me right back. HELP!

It is difficult to start to heal if you are still in the touch with the origin of your trauma.
I only could start the healing journey AFTER I went no contact with my abusive family.
So you have to find the way how to get out of that environment first otherwise you will stay stuck in the re-traumatizing circle. Plus, your nervous system can't calm down at this rate.
Good luck ❤️🙏🏽!
If you stay, it's hard to heal because you are in the wrong company when it comes to mere living (not talking about healed living). If you leave the traumatising home to live in a facility, you will start grieving and for some time, it would be very hard, to confront all of it... but it could help you release all the past. You have to choose what is best for you now... I am truly and deeply sorry, I know how debilitating any trauma can be. But I also have to tell you, when a true breakthrough comes, it comes, wherever you are, and it is stronger than any perpetrator, you just want to go forward and heal and you take full responsibility for your decisions. With my deepest love, just please, be smart and safe. If you move forward, do it intelligently. Protect yourself, your life, your heart, your mind, your body.
Homeopathy could help you if you go to good homeopath. But if you go, don’t expect fast results.
I healed from C-PTSD and if I would be approaching my healing from such limited perspective that this video presents, I would have been dead by now. From my personal experience, the body and the brain and much more, it all keeps the score... and therefore there are several approaches we need to take in order to TRULY HEAL, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE.
Thank you for saying this because I feel like the video didn't explain anything. It was really muddled and poorly written, as you can tell, just by the number of confused comments on this board.
The Psychologist-woman almost wants to clap back at the book "The Body Keeps the Score" instead of explaining how to help yourself. A great book by the way that explains all the minutia of this stuff much better.
It's like yoga, improv, dance? Those are your solutions? That's nothing. What about personal therapy, somatic therapy, sketching, hiking, journaling, books by Jung, spiritual growth, and relationships?
It's bizarre because it's so short and doesn't explain anything really. And just using the line "it's all in your head" without really going into too much depth on why it's such a misleading phrase is really tricky. You could write volumes on just that one sentence.
A lot of these Big Think videos are Ted Talk posers without much depth, and I just shake my head after watching them.
@@samwise6644 Yes, sometimes, the videos are a bit dangerous, so, I feel the need to add a bit more perspective. 🙏🏻❤️
@@vladimiraofficial I was expecting a lot more. It was such a short video about a gargantuan problem, especially after covid. I wish you well on your healing process, my friend 🙏🏽
@@samwise6644Thank you - I must say - I healed to such a great extent I feel healed and my life reflects that (also, I realised I was carrying other people’s problems and energies and healing all of it for them within myself - now I know how to stay “just myself”) 💓 It was insanely hard and the main part took me 8 years with more less 4 years of full time healing (but C-PTSD is truly C = complex). I wish you all wonderful! 🤩
I'm relieved to hear because I'm on my own journey. And I hope that it leads to peace and feeling better.
What, may I ask, worked for you? I've been trying everything, and in counseling for about 2 years now.
So if I understand this correctly, the brain codes what was overwhelming to its internal state as "trauma" and generally, the brain's basic function is to survive and anticipate threat. So it takes those experiences and flashes it back in the mind as a prediction of the worst case scenario. And it's upsetting to the person experiencing it because the flashback and associated hyperarousal doesn't align with the reality of their current, present day situation. And therefore to recover from it, one has to plan events and follow through with the plans to alter what it's anticipating or predicting. One has to reinstate predictable experiences into their life. Am I getting it?
The traumatic or unpleasant situations we experience train our minds into how to avoid them in the future. This is what it meant by the brain creates trauma. It acts in a prevention mode to help not to experience similar painful events (similarly when epidemiologists predict how diseases occur and try to design scenarios for prevention or at least mitigation of diseases outcome). In trauma prevention scenario that's mean having to cage oneself within defined limits that are known for the brain to be a safeguard area. However, it means eventually letting oneself be ruled by the trauma and not the other way around. Making new and different experiences in life kind of pull us out of the prediction zone and free us more from the dominance of our brain-created trauma. And since everything related to prediction lay down in the brain trying experiences that involves body activity would be the way to cope with what the brain is convincing.
I think you both nailed it!
Thank you both for further explaining the idea, really helped me to understand my own experience with trauma.

Alfred Korzybski''s simple sentence "The map is not the territory" is a very useful - I would say - instrument to escape predictors of any sort, "trauma predictors" also.
Another one is to be aware of self-fulfilling prophecy, and to seek signs in the "territory" that might not support the expected negative outcome.
Another helpful practice is transactional analyse therapy - being aware of the games we play, of ego state we use to act, child and parent being predispose to "maps", therefore inflexibility, we need to grow adult state, "now and here" aka "territory" therefore flexibility.
Of course, NLP, neurolinguistic therapy is another therapy that uses mind-body connection.
Personally, I found being really effective "the inner game" technique, developed by Timothy Gallwey - the Self 1 is the one that sticks with the knowledge of traumatic event and predict it as soon as a slight sign is in sight, and the Self 2 is the one that actually is in contact with the reality - interestingly, Gallwey named those two "the teller" and "the doer" - in his first inner game take.
Last but not least, Daniel Kahneman "remembrance self" and "experience self" are useful perspectives to spring useful techniques.
And speaking about techniques, the old findings about biofeedback in healing body disease are useful in healing mind dis-ease to.
I thought about my own trauma, and like always it came to my mind that I didn’t win, but this time I said “I will win next time,” and I felt immediately better.
Tom Sisson
Hearing the analogy about the burning house was great, perceiving it through a survival-lense as prediction-protocol of the brain, sometimes we just have to remind ourself that "okay, we acquired the fire-perception through this or that traumatic memory and the resemblance to the current situation sparks it off, but If I consciously tell myself that this doesn't have to be the case with every similiar situation". For my own sake for instance, I've always struggled in situations where alcohol has been involved, my voice often gets weak, tense and nerveous and my body language switches to fight-or-flight because I used to be the son of an abusive alcoholic.
It's amazing what the mind can do when we have the time. Thoughts that make you suffer, that you won't leave behind. But you can't. Oh but you can. Before consuming this I was staring out the window thinking about a painful memory from the past (I have plenty) then I saw this and remembered my aforetyped song lyrics. The emotional waves of the days. Surf away..

If only we lived in a society which actually gave you the time to heal, where therapy was possible and supported. But that's not the reality for a lot of people as it's not something that's achievable for most people. Therapies cost time and most importantly often a lot of money. Doing Yoga as you're wasting away in a 12 hour job that you have to do support your self? Or lowering stress as you live from paycheck to paycheck with one missed rent away from homelessness? Not possible. And thus, a lot of people remain in their trauma and scars. Up to the point, where you don't even know how it actually feels living without them. Many people can't heal becase we're not living in a society that's build on healing if you can't afford it.

I felt really bad when a coworker said in front of a supplier that I was going to be fired. Later on, after resigning, I found out that she was stealing from the company. I don't know if she did all of that on purpose because she was afraid I might interfere with her plans, but after that, I became extremely insecure. Now I've managed to get a job at a very good company, but I'm feeling a lot of anxiety.
You will have a lot more battles to win in your life. Accept it and move on.
Im sorry to hear this happened. I too had a traumatizing work experience and I got EMDR. Perhaps you could look into this? I wish for you healing!
Recovering from trauma - it will still pop up sometimes but it won’t dominate the brains predictions anymore
Dr. Lisa, I respect your theory and career. I am a psychiatrist, an H-index 59 scientist and a trauma-specialized therapist. You are just so much in love with your theory (which is great) that you forget other lines of knowledge. And you just show your ignorance on modern treatment methods base on memory-reconsolidation. If you have some respect for knowledge you would retreat this video. You just want to win discussions based on your theory. Big think - this is a disinformation to public regarding treatments. It’s just like saying: oh, if you want to go from the US to Europe there is an ocean to cross, and there is no way other than going by boat 🤷🏻♂️. So, Dr. Lisa, your knowledge on the topic is what needs updating.
As an abused traumatized 5 year old child…I can say she is 💯 right
The sad part for me is that I’m just learning this😢 It’s HARD inner work but we MUST do it in order to heal❤
❤
It’s energy that needs to flow. Let it. I find become aware of how that energy feels and where it shows up in the body helps turn the distress into curiosity.
@@MikeD-tf7dk What do you mean by "energy". Do you use it as a metaphor for emotional states and bodily sensations? Or do you refer to esoteric quackery, misleading people, who are seeking a valid treatment?
At the outset I was triggered by the title. I was all “other people created the trauma”. Then I was all “shut up and listen” Yes. This is true.
The way I read The Body Keeps the Score is that it provides a way for dealing with the physiological/mental chaos of trauma that makes effective, functional predictions possible. Barrett's ideas for dealing with trauma as presented here largely amount to CBT, ACT, and exposure therapy, which have been empirically demonstrated to be ineffective methods for trauma in most cases.
Perhaps a good way to think about trauma, using Barrett's terminology, is that it causes the brain to make predictions that severely inhibit the free development of the _new_ predictions that could be used to eliminate trauma in the first place. Trauma walls off experience and closes down new possibilities because the world, in the most important ways, is a dangerous place, so you cling to the predictions that have worked so well in the past to help you survive, particularly as a child, with all the force of terror and fear of death.
What I think _The Body Keeps the Score_ does, in effect, is find ways to route around the old predictions, in a sense, so that new ones can finally be created. That the author of _The Body Keeps the Score_ conceptualizes trauma as imprinted on the body might have enabled us to think about trauma in novel ways that actually lead to effective treatments, even if there's a possibility that that conceptualization isn't totally accurate. One trippy thing about conceptualizing all of human experience as predictive constructs is that it doesn't really matter if the predictions strictly adhere to reality. It only matters that they get us to something that works.
Underestimating the role of "the body" in trauma leads to a less accurate appraisal of the effectiveness of healing modalities that focus on "the body".
Awareness IS Through the Body. How we construct our model of this process plays a key role in the constructions of our felt sense of embodiment. The physical is communicated to throughout to feed into our creation of a depiction of our worlds & their interacting dynamics. What we render into perception began as stimuli many stages before it 'shows up', is perceived.
In short, every moment of perception, in addition to other requirements, must include a theoretical framework. Boon & Bane.
I got run over by a car that came off the road while walking along a sandy path. What Lisa is describing here fits my experience exactly.
Do yoga. Do the gym. Do new things. Do theater. Push out the old connections and in with the new, in a sense.
Sitting around and sulking and doing the same things day in and day out are not conducive to trauma recovery. In fact, the only thing that’s conducive for is brain atrophy. You have to get out of your comfort zone-socially, physically, mentally.
Start being more cognizant of your thought patterns. Notice when negative thoughts come up, and instead of letting them snowball into more negative thoughts, counter them with positive self-talk. You gotta forgive yourself. You gotta forgive everybody. The brain is powerful. It got you into this mess, and it can absolutely get you out.
Also, when you feel like it’s becoming too much, numbing the problem via drugs, alcohol, porn, social media, gaming, etc. is terrible for you. There’s obviously a time and place for some of these, but you have to gauge for yourself why you’re using it.
Avoidance is never the answer. The only thing that does is grant temporary relief while the problem grows more virulent beneath the surface. Unfortunately, the only way to get past trauma is to tackle it head on. It’s natural to want to avoid pain, but the pain is what sets you free.
Become a masochist for awhile. Let the body and mind actually process it without the use of mind-numbing substances. You should cry. You should feel hurt. That’s an excellent sign your doing the RIGHT thing.
If you take away anything from this comment, let it be this unarguable fact: *the brain and body do not change unless there’s a strong enough stimulus provided to produce that change.* Pain and discomfort is the exact stimulus you’re looking for. It is not what you should be avoiding.
Form a support group. Get a counselor. Find like-minded folks who share your interests of self-betterment.
Lastly, breathe. The breath is powerful and can put anybody into a parasympathetic state of mind if done correctly. The brain listens to what the body is saying. A calm breathing rate will absolutely talk to the brain.
Yes!

The essential thing that everyone should be thinking about right now is investing in non-government sources of income. Especially in light of the current global economic crisis. It is still a wonderful moment to invest in gold, silver, digital money, and stocks.

She snuck in saying that taking psychedelics is a good thing like it's no big deal.
I was diagnosed with trauma related to my divorce. I received several types of therapy. I found E.M.D.R. and A.R.T. to be most effective. I feel like I'm 90% of the way healed. The last 10%....still working on. The best advice I have for others is to be persistent in trying to resolve the issues. If one therapist isn't making progress with you, don't be afraid to try switch to another and another. Just because one therapy wasn't effective doesn't mean another won't be.
what's A.R.T ?
@@Mandukcja Accelerated Resolution Therapy. In my case, we did extensive EMDR first and finalized with A.R.T.
@@CalicoCooperFan cool! thanks, sounds interesting!
@Mandukcja I found many aspects of A.R.T. to be very similar to EMDR, but there are differences. If you've gone through EMDR and then try ART, you'll be like, "That part is very similar to EMDR except for...."

I still believe your body keeps the score in a general sense.
I agree. more of a this and rather than either or.
I feel like video is responding more to people’s limited perception of the book the Body Keeps the Score as it’s knocking the book itself which is frustrating. That is one of my favorite books of all time and it talks about trauma on so many different levels. The books talks about how the body stores the trauma and how through both therapy and through reconnecting with your body and therefore becoming present in the moment and not living in the past is how you heal from trauma.
I think she's right about how the maladaptive cognitive frameworks absolutely need to be addressed - but at the same time I didn't appreciate the dismissiveness of her jab at The Body Keeps the Score either.
That's not how you win people to your point of view; that's how you make people dig in their heels and fight you even if you were correct in the first place.
I really liked the profound clear explanation, the key is to alter your brain " PREDICTION ". Thanks
I assumed the "second brain" gut was where trauma was "stored" because the nervous system seems to get spooked even when you haven't been thinking about or rehearsing the trauma. I'm still skeptical it's all in the brain.
Yes, this "in the brain only" view is the old school way of understanding trauma. Obviously not all experts agree. Whole body focused treatments have well proven effectiveness that is not adequately explained with the brain only model. After all, it's all connected. The brain is part of the body.
Great video. This has been mostly true in my experience. One interesting thing I noted when she was discussing was that I do these things though as she mentions the brain is the one doing. As she mentions what keeps it going it prediction in that we are better of being wrong than to risk a traumatic event reoccuring
The background music is irritating. Distracting. Plz lower that volume.
We are made up of a mind AND a body. Both are different. Both need to heal differently. If you only work on one you only do half the work.
No matter what any human does, the body will dissolve. The soul can be preserved, but only if the individual is truly astute (which is exceedingly rare).
Trauma is stored in the Nervous System, and you need to learn to reset the Nervous System. There are many tutorials and help on the Internet that you can find that will help you reset the Nervous System. It's like rebooting a Computer that is lagging and became slow.

I used to think trauma was in my body too. The symptoms of PTSD, anxiety and depression showed up in my body, but they stemmed from old memories in my brain.
EMDR has been transformative for me. Nowadays I focus on mindful cooking and eating, walking every evening, dancing, hiking, and listening to music.
Thx for sharing your story.
I want to add, EMDR does not work for everyone. It's a bit trial and error. There are other possible methods in the cognitive behavioral therapy.
Happy, it worked for you, thou.
@@jonathanwalther Oh absolutely, CBT is also an effective form of psychotherapy! I hear so many authoritative mental health professionals talk about and recommend it. EMDR was necessary for my situation because it offered quicker relief for my symptoms at the time, and my psychiatrists were convinced that it would be more effective in the long term.
@@itsasamorse Thing is, CBT is the best researched and tested method (or better: bundle of techniques and methods) and is in constant development. Nothing authoritarian about it.
Besides that, EMDR has no better long term effects, than Exposure method in a CBT setting. Both has its merits.
@@jonathanwalther Yes, both have merits. I wrote CBT is mentioned by authoritative (or respected) mental health professionals. I agree it's not authoritarian (:
@@itsasamorse Ah, thx. English is not my mothertongue.
Typical academic thinking from the head down. There is plenty of indications that consciousness is not just head based. In fact saying what consciousness is, is really hard. She is right about trauma creating synaptic connections which literally thicken with stressful repeated use (hence the use of psychedelics to loosen those connections up) but that doesn't mean we must concentrate on the head only as the location of the problem or the cure.
Bro I was just thinking about this last night as I cried my eyes out in my car; then this video got recommended.
Weird.
Practical and concise.Thanks. May I suggest trading the "you" and "your" with "we" and "our"? Might be easier to assimilate. Just a thought.
This video was al gift. Thank you, Lisa. Stay blessed 🙏

Nice, Lisa! Reading your book, “How Emotions Are Made”. Thanks for your work!😊
Finally somebody said it. Just because it's nowadays a popular approach (somatic experiencing etc), we are still conscientious beings..
There are 100 million 'neurons' in your gut system and there is a huge body of research that shows that cognition is not just limited to our brains. The move towards more comprehensive forms of therapy has saved a tremendous amount of people who didn't respond to traditional brain centered therapy. The whole spectrum needs to be available and understood, and in the end whatever works for you is the right therapy.

When a monk can burn himself alive in protest with absolute composure and it was put on a record cover seen by millions of people, it is difficult to understand how people doubt the potential of the mind.
Remember that a kaleidoscope is just a tube, 3 mirrors, and a lot of broken pieces of what would otherwise be garbage. Anatomically, a human is a tube. Research tells us that humans can survive with only 3 touch stones; a belief, a hobby, a charity to volunteer for, a friend, a cause or a hope, a pet, they all count. When you are struggling, reflect your thoughts and experiences off of your three mirrors; the images your broken pieces create will be beautiful. ❤ You are a masterpiece of survival and determination.
Great video. Now I know why people say this:
It's all your head.
Life is what you make it.
The world is how you see it.
You are not your brain.
Watch what you say to yourself.
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.
Mind over matter 😊 If you don't mind it Don't Matter 😉✌️❤️

The body and brain are connected. What affects one, affects the other. When trauma strikes, it takes up space in the body as well as the brain. Modern therapies such as EMDR, yoga and meditation, or "altering your brain's prediction" work but they take time and what works for one person may not work for another.
I agree with you. The speaker does not and she is missing a lot.
Secure attachment in infancy is pivotal to healthy evolution. Like animals, we have a small window of ‘socialisation’, before the window shuts in the human brain and it’s permanently wired to adjust to the circumstances it’s created in: about 1-3 years.
In war, poverty, abusive situations and authoritarian parenting (where babies are not held enough for fear of spoiling them…) the infant brain wires to adjust for the situation of survival. It doesn’t know any better. This is brain resilience to a degree, because it has learned that help or love won’t come when needed so don’t ask (you might attract predators). Also the brain cannot flourish or reach its full potential because the environment is too hostile and there are not enough ‘resources’.
The damage is significant enough that it causes a lot of predisposition to addiction, mental health issues and personality disorders to ‘survive’ chronic stress.
There are a lot of studies and video evidence of case studies online that back this up and it makes sense to me as a survival strategy. However it’s not useful when needing to attract healthy partners or relationships hence, trauma begets trauma and the cycle of abuse often continues..
If anyone reading this is suffering from effects of trauma I recommend reading anything by Gabor Mate… who is an excellent resource on attachment and trauma, cycle of addictions etc.
It is possible to recover, friend. Believe it.
Nothing is 'permanently wired'. An older notion that has long been discarded. Read the work of Norman Doidge, M.D., "The Brain that Heals Itself"... and many more.
@@carolmcbrideonline I understand neuroplasticity etc. I have not read his book. I have however studied this. That’s not the debate here. The first few years of brain development in humans (and seen in primates) are vital for how the brain wires for its perceived life environment. At its most basic it is part of human evolution and survival of the fittest. For current info look at the Harvard Center on the developing child - neglect and scientific analysis of life long effects. That’s just one site out of many. Attachment theory. Just see the case of Genie Wiley. Whilst pretty extreme, demonstrates the effects of neglect and trauma in early years on the brain. And there is a whole spectrum from that to poorly attached infants.

What is real traumatic is when you realize your predictions are correct and there is a near constant and genuine threat in the physical world which exists beyond your control. It would be absurd to trick yourself into believing these threats are not real. The only reasonable goal would be to learn how to calmly confront these threats.
We cannot expect people to heal from trauma if we don't address the root causes - whether it be through dangerous infrastructure, institutional injustice, ruinous healthcare bills, war mongering leaders, rape culture, etc.
Take control of your life, just don't do so at the cost of ignoring real threats.
Agreed.
Very well put. Some predictions are definitely more likely to happen/reoccur than others. We can also "pile on" the information by reading articles/watching videos online about whatever we are worried about and essentially updating our prediction while increasing our fear.
It may cause paranoia or it may make us less likely to take action on something that could potentially cause more negative experiences.
Regardless, as you say, we need to find ways to confront and address the realistic risks of our world without just... stopping and curling into a ball.
One of those things can be to simply listen to your body. It may not hold trauma itself but as the scoreboard, it can certainly hold stress right? So for me when I feel stressed to the point that my head is achine or my body is giving me some sign to relax, I try to give myself a break as soon as possible in a way where I can just zone out and absorb myself in things that help me destress. I feel that music, games, netflix etc are not just indulgences, they are important for our healing and our psyche.
@@nyekocreativity that's a great point to listen to your body.
I can't agree that managing brain's prediction is a gift, it is rather a skill especially if you're on way of recovery...
The only way to forget mistakes you made in the past is to make even bigger and graver mistakes in the present.
:D :D :D
I agree
lol any alcoholic is aware of this, I certainly am.
Oh my goodness... I do this and have literally asked if anyone else could relate. Wow. 🙏

Understanding and mastering the mind-body feedback loop is essential to being a peaceful, joyful person. We function largely based on habits, including habits of the mind. The reason yoga or psychedelics work so well is they allow old habits to be replaced by new ones. Trauma is such a powerful input that the mind/body responds by giving it a lot of bandwidth, to be safe. But that is the beginning of a new habit that soon runs of its own accord in both the unconscious and the body, with all kinds of mental and physical consequences.
The key is to force new habits to override/overwrite those suboptimal habits. There are a variety of ways to create those new habits, but one of the most important is to find support or fellow traveler. Someone that you can help with their trauma. That will help heal your own. Feedback loops between people are as important as the feedback loop within your own body/psyche. Be the vehicle for someone else's healing, to heal yourself.
Well said!. The mind body feedback is key in my opinion. That's why talking about it to others did not help me at all; Even in therapy. What has seemed to help was putting myself in a new environment - moving away, cutting off some relationships, body praxis like yoga, chi gong, TRE. Cold plunge, sauna,swimming, sunlight first thing, breathwork short and long sessions, EMDR, microdosing, experiment with diet;, ketogenic , vegetarian, fasting.
working systematically and seeing what works for your body. For you that is searching. Hang in there, you Will get better. There is light in the end of the tunnel. Life isn't easy but like she said in the video we are blessed today with the possiblity to heal and manage that content.
@@ibnhabesha I'm not searching for healing, i've taken care of that years ago by using plant medicine and consistent integration. Ayahuasca use on a regular program, 3x in 5 days, every 3-4 months for years. Deep reconfiguration in the body/psyche. I literally never believed in miracles before that medicine came into my life and now i do. Everyone has to find what works for them and i was fortunate to have a very close longtime friend with the medicine and the great place to do that work. He was also healing himself and we went through that journey together. That modality is not for everyone, but for those called, I seriously doubt there's anything more effective - if you work on integration. Can't overstate that: INTEGRATION is key. I created new habits and new beliefs, eg. I used to have a unconscious belief that i deserve to suffer. Grandmother Aya showed me that while also teaching me that i deserve peace. Sounds unimpressive, but the way she teaches is deep and lasting - when you're ready to learn the lesson. It's a very humbling and deep process.
@@ibnhabesha What happened to you? Why were you in so many different environments? How did you do all of that?
We are our own worst enemies.
Have you read the short story ‘the egg’ by Andy Weir?
I get that everything we experience is done so through the brain, but the body, I think, can indeed store trauma. There are feedback loops that can exist between the brain and the body. Eg Repeated stress leads to anxiety, anxiety can manifest amongst other things as tension in the muscles around the jaw and the abdomen, anxiety subsides (as it comes and goes in waves) but the habit of keeping the jaw and abdomen muscles tensed in this example is a trauma imprint. So in a non anxious state the brain then tunes into the fact that the body is tense and confirms there is tension / danger en route / something to be anxious about and triggers a stress response following the bodies lead. This cycle, or 'feedback loop' can keep stress, trauma and anxiety in perpetual motion (self sustaining). So in this example treating the body could be an additional pathway to breaking the trauma loop and interrupting the cycle. Or at least could be done in unison with the psychological intervention in order to break the trauma loop from both sides mind and body. So I think the body needs to be healed as well, not just the brains predictions.
To be born is to experience trauma. No human being escapes trauma because being human is a traumatic experience unique to human beings. No other animal is burdened to the degree humans are with the experience of consciousness that comes with being born human. It is a curse and a blessing. Impossible to separate.
Damnnnn, that is so deep and true!
Thank you for this explanation. ❤
Straight to the point. Thank you
We are not brain or body. We are a whole, and trauma triggers both the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.
We sense other's emotions in part through our body's mirroring what we see in other's bodies.
So, we sense what our own body is doing in recurrent re-experiencing of trauma, which feeds back in a loop of mind to body and back.
Aerobic exercise can help overcomes patterns present at rest, and "alternating R and L hemispheres by rhythmic movement on nature on a peaceful setting can teach the traumatic patterns no longer are helpful.
But, if this deos not help, EMDR, psilocybin, counseling is necessary.
Managing the content is not just a gift but... rather a procedural way of re-establishing better logical and emotional pathways in our mind and checking out these re-established hypothesis . Marking them as null or valid so that they can be used in the future(ideologically similar conditions) for better predictions while at the same time not giving up on the developmental aspect of the hypothesis just like a scientist. So yeah, I completely agree with this idea ... I guess...
You guess?
@@lucyandecember2843 Yep... Guess, as I'm not providing any sort of quantitative data or empirical evidence ... So at max. it can just be a guess and nothing more... Most probably...
Ohhhh I would love to hear a side by side comparison with Bessel Vander Kolk’s The Body Keeps The Score
Useless video, but I’ll help others a little bit here if they don’t know it yet.
The best trauma therapy techniques are EMDR and IFS. Please start trauma therapy only when you don’t have major external stressors and you’re in a relatively good state of mind.
Fantastic video! It’s so wonderful to hear healing words from a person who isn’t in the “comment section”
what does this mean lmao
Thank you. Needed to hear, need to apply.
After a traumatic experience, the human system of self-preservation seems to go onto permanent alert, as if the danger might return at any moment.
Science seems to be so focused on the brain. We disregard the mind, thinking it's an intangible, emergent property of the brain. The mind contains the trauma and the memories, and the mind is intrinsically linked to the body. And almost every form of meditation and yoga can help release it.
Mind is a weird word. You might instead use the word "cognition" and learn to dispense of it in effort for strict, sober explanation.
@@__Henry__he is most probably speaking about "mann". The literal translation from hindi to english messes up the crucial difference between the two
Our cells hold memories to, which shows up in organ transplants. In which the person who got the organs has that donor's memories. So our body would, in fact, hold score, plus our brain in our heart and gut, which has their own nervous system, which connects to the brain. So amazingly, our body works
Thanks for this. I was watching like "something is missing" 🤔
Are there some articles or research that I could read about recipients of donor organs experiencing donor memories?
Nonsense
Marcus Aurelius - “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
I have found power and strength in my suffering. To quote Benjamin Franklin “That which hurts, also instructs.” I have been a student of suffering all my life, but recently have I taken what I’ve learned and started to put it into practice. It is a powerful thing once you own everything you have lived through good and bad because for better or worse it has made you who you are today.
“The discipline of suffering, of great suffering-know ye not that it is only this discipline that has produced all the elevations of humanity hitherto? The tension of soul in misfortune which communicates to it its energy, its shuddering in view of rack and ruin, its inventiveness and bravery in undergoing, enduring, interpreting, and exploiting misfortune, and whatever depth, mystery, disguise, spirit, artifice, or greatness has been bestowed upon the soul-has it not been bestowed through suffering?”
Friedrich Nietzsche
I recently watched Guy Ritchie's series, The Gentlemen on Netflix. (spoiler alert) In it, there are two brothers, one is a complete and utter f*ck up who ruins everything. He's weak, whiny disloyal and an addict. The other is a highly competent soldier, leader and negotiator who saves his brother repeatedly and will fight to the death for his family. He seems like the obvious hero and more likable than his hapless brother. However, over time, it is revealed that the "good" brother has slightly sociopathic tendencies. He is able to kill without much internal drama, which made him a better hunter, soldier, aristocrat, businessman and ultimately Crime Boss. It seems like he is capable of more, but at great cost, spiritually speaking. So we may see someone who is highly emotional and more easily traumatized as somehow lesser, but Highly Sensitive People have much greater potential for development than those who tend toward a lack of empathy or who seem remarkably resilient. Sometimes those who seem strong are just disassociated.
Very, very good. I love this!
The shade thrown to "The body keeps the score"😂
Thank you for the video, very informative
At 47 I have finally begun to heal from cPTSD after using psilocybin. After decades of useless therapy and SSRIs
Fantastic. Love this.
There Are such patterns registered & stored within the body as a whole. This impacts the development & maintenance of our sense of self, of situational awarenesses, of potential outcomes.
Consider the symptomatology of heat prostration-exhaustion & related afflictions. These typically include that list above along with various types of memory glitches. In short, much of what we consider 'mind' or 'who we are' in the moment, as a felt experience, is co-constructed & maintained within the endocrine system.
You get a good spook going & it takes some while after you, "your brain", Knows all is good, for your body to "reboot" your endocrine system. By training, & disposition, you can quicken this process.
Patterns of release of, creation of, distribution of, recycling & disposal of waste throughout these various processes, of neurotransmitters within the endocrine system, are key functions of the systems tasked in memory retrieval & pattern recognition. The 'meaning' of a perception is decoded within the "key" or "scale" identified as optimal. These taken as a whole comprise of much of our felt sense of who we are, where we are, What is happening, and what the potentials maybe.
Love this concept!
i badly needed this video ❤
No you didn't. You and the world are unfolding as you should.
I’m sure most would agree that this is a very accurate description and explanation
Did someone catch what is the #1 thing you can do to recover from trauma? I didn't and now I'm feeling traumatized.
😂 Me too..
I also missed it ... think the overly dramatic soundtrack was buzzing out my traumatized brain 🤯 ...
Really ... if you're going to make videos for traumatized people - cut it with the click bait, hyping music and flowery speech ... calmly get straight to it please.
What is one to do when the trauma has been ongoing for a lifetime and show no signs of ending before one's death?
I'd appreciate it if she used the phrase, "My or our current understanding is..." for the simple reason that this theory of how trauma is stories is just that, our current understanding from this particular field. A different field of study may have a different POV. Her flippant reference to Bessel Van de Kolk (Body Keeps the Score is the title of his book) is kinda cute, but I wouldn't be so sure that you know better than him.
lol. she isn't stating opinion. She's explaining the data. The data shows that van de kolk's story is outdated and disproven acutally.
It’s just semantics. I think Bessel knows it’s in the brain, but it feels like it’s the body.
@@max8141 It's absolutely not semantics. Anyone who thinks that doesn't understand the theory of constructed emotion or predictive brain function. Bessel ascribes to outdated, disproven science, or has refused to renounce it, even though he "knows" it's in the brain. That's not how a scientist works. It's how charlatan snake oil salemen work. I challenge him to renounce debunked triune brain science fictions.
@@LeahBensonTherapyTampa Well I've read enough to know that this is just the current understanding, and that it will evolve. I believe that is indisputable. Understanding that the body keeps the score isn't "wrong," that framing is based on your biases, including your bias that whatever data you evaluate is "right" and you're the arbiter of such things.
@@Kormac80 I let the scientists be the arbiters of the "rightness" of the data. Truine brain theory is dead. No one teaches the science of geocentrism anymore. Heliocentrism is the "right" science right now based on the preponderance of evidence. This is like that. Predictive brain function and the theory of constructed emotion are based on a preponderance of the latest data. Not my personal bias, the preponderance of data as understood by the people who understand that stuff. Teachers who keep teaching outdated science are doing a disservice to the field that already has a reputation as soft science. This isn't about whether somatic techniques work or not. They do for the most part. This is about the "science" that is being taught. Too many celebrity teachers who know better are "teaching" therapists and coaches debunked science to bolster the legitimacy of their techniques. Why rely on science at all to support your position if you're not going to rely on the most well supported, latest data...unless science doesn't actually matter, just the fantasy that your methods are supported by it.
This is enlightening
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for answering some questions that have been rolling around in my head for some time. I am going to incorporate this into my life. And the classes that I teach.
how do animals in the wild deal with constant trauma? the ptsd must be intense, how do they cope?
and as soon as the lion leaves, they go right back to the watering hole. they live in the present and have no concept of past or future or existential danger, other than the dangers of the present moment.
@@magnuspayne2582you have never been thirsty 😂
@@magnuspayne2582Their cortex is smaller, and they are more present than we usually are. But, I wouldn't say that it's binary, like day and night. Homo Sapiens is an animal, too. So, we are on a spectrum, on the one side, total presence, in the moment, and on the other side, total mechanical push pull. But, for me, it is helpful to distinguish body and mind a bit. The brain is inside our heads, but, our minds have somewhat grown beyond our bodily limitations and have the potential for total transcendence. Let me leave you with a final analogy:
We are not our bodies, not hardware.
We are not our minds, no software.
We are a-ware.
As the sage said in response to a disciples request for the key teaching:
Awareness, awareness, awareness.

More emphasis on emotional resiliency is needed in all cultures. If treated as the foundation of healthy living, I think it could alter people's perception of how we are damaging the environment while we damage ourselves. Emotional literacy could generate empathy with the other living things around us, human and non-human, potentially leading to a truly civilized lifestyle where respect and kindness are prioritized.
I think the real problem is the assuming that physical and emotional resilience are linked. Or that just shutting up and toughing it out is enough. Many cultures have been obsessed with toughness in the past and yet these issues remained both back then and now, so there must be more too it.
@@Delmworks this is a good point you make. Although cultural forms of emotional resilience is certainly something that has been a valuable thing for a reason over many past centuries, it perhaps is also related to the time in history for the culture. For example, the daily lives of people (for more people than ever before) is better now, with lesser serious threats and uncertainties. Perhaps this takes away the collective value that the culture places on toughing it out through personal rough times, even though the problems might feel as bad to an individual as any time in the history. It seems to me that our brains at individual level sets the scales from 0 to 10 based on personal experiences, but at a community/societal level it is driven by persistent and prevalent extremes of struggles and how we ought to deal with them. Maybe that we are loosing ground on the value of getting through collective suffering and hence the culture gets fragmented and a feedback mechanism for the younger generation to see what that looks like is lost.
I'll stop before I digress too much :) Great video and thoughtful comments.
Totally agree on the emotional literacy part. I don't think a lot of people know how to express themselves - in the opposite end there's that casual therapy-speak in every day conversations. A healthy balance would be good.
It’s not emotional resilience that is needed - but learning emotional regulation.
Emotional resilience implies repressing how you feel and ‘powering through’ it which research has proven through cases of military vets with CPTSD does not work.
Cultures where co-regulation is promoted on the other hand would empower parents with the knowledge on how to teach their children how to recognise and feel their emotions, and then how to self-soothe and calm down.
My dad died when I was 14. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour which we never discussed and then was dead a year later. My mum did her grieving apparently when he was sick, but since it was never discussed with my brother and I his death came as a huge shock. I did not know he was dying and I did not know that apparently when my dad had died my Mum had emotionally moved on whilst we were in the initial stages of grieving. We were never shown how to grieve, how to deal with his absence from our lives - all we’d been taught was repression. I tried repressing my grief and it manifested as self-harm and binge eating and other issues that I’ve had hours and hours of therapy for but still struggle with.
As a mother myself now, I teach co-regulation and I use all that I’ve learned to help my kids. I hope they don’t have to experience the loss of a parent as I did, but whatever they face they will have me beside them supporting their self-regulating skills until they can do it themselves.
@Delmworks For that, I think we have to go back to the human animal. Homo sapiens has always been a combination of happy and horrible things. We are a hierarchical primate, therefore competitive and aggressive. As a zoologist, I've often felt that primatology 101 should be taught to basically everyone, along with education about how to control these basic biological traits.
I work in IT and saw horrible things including abuse of minor. I have to think of like every day it and it destroys me. I want to get rid of it, but it won't go away. It is so horrible, so awful, I can't imagine to live a life where things like this happen. Can you heal from it?
I survived a car accident, a burning house, but this is by far the most shocking thing for me
That sounds awful, friend. You can absolutely be free from that one day. Find a good trauma therapist and find what works for you. A good place to start is EMDR.
Sometimes you don’t even realize the trauma living in your body until you become a parent. Trauma is quite the complex topic and I’m glad we are at a point in society where we are acknowledging it. ❤
I agree. Many therapists and psychologists say that abuse survivors can become amazing parents.
I never realized I was abused as a child until I became a dad for the first time. Like, I knew I was hit a lot and I knew I was neglected, but I’d always just chalked it up to me being a bad kid. My ideas about parenting were so completely wrong and unhealthy and I needed a lot of therapy and reading parenting books to unlearn a lot of assumptions I’d always held
@@Will140f Wow =0( Thank you for sharing and I'm glad you realized it so you can unlock the type of parenting that is healing to both you and your child(ren).
I’ve been doing therapy for 10 months already. The first results that my body reflected only appeared after 8 months (my shoulders were extremely tense and it effected my posture). Before that I did a lot of exercises for shoulders, yoga, horseback riding, stand up paddling ,and nothing worked. This is right, trauma is in the brain. Once you have dealt with that your body will be healed too.
What kind of therapy are you doing that you found helpful? CBT, EMDR?
Love this, I wish the background music wasn’t so stress inducing
LFB has the most compelling explanations for the human experience. It is the only way I could make sense of emotions. Yet, when she says everything is in your brain, it implies a radical relativism, that makes me wonder if experience can cause a brain to override reason, logic, or objective truth? Do people have their own subjective ‘truth’? But then I wonder if forces outside of experienced sensation are a malleable part of a brains prediction? Can the brain override pain, genetics or nutrition with a different prediction? I would love to hear her discuss the foundations of certainty, if any remain.
Love her! Her other long interview was soooo incredible. Where do I find the extended version of this one??
I think that at even at present time and even with present volume of understanding of our being, the mankind can predict the dynamic of development of particular functions of thinking process and brain development.
I mean the particular functions of particular brain area!
And obvious that power and capacity and volume of involved data will constantly be increasing the scale of conscious.
That will be another level!
We are on the infinite way of changing of us and our construct of reality.
It clearly visible that the thinking power of our distant descendants will be much more effective occording to ours present.
We are the part of infinit future!

So when you have trauma in the body (ie: tight muscles or flinching related to trauma) how do you treat that? Still with a physical treatment? Or in the mind?
Heal your mind, heal your body.
So basically just create new experiences to dismantle your internal beliefs. This is therapy 101 🗿

Is there a difference between the Mind vs the Brain and also, Emotions vs Feelings ?
Definitely agree with the gift of changing the movie of our lives, I also think it's interesting hypothesis ( I stand to be corrected on this) that the body does not keep a score of trauma when Dr. Bessel van der Kolk said that it does.
I have a slightly different theory that seeks to clearly define the above 4 elements earlier in my statement.
Hi newbeginnings.
There's no difference between the mind and the brain. The "brain" is the physiological term. The "mind" is the psychological term.
There are only two primary emotions. Love and fear. Feelings are physical manifestations of these two emotions. For instance, Jealousy is based on fear. Kindness is based on love. And so on. There are hundreds of feelings all emanating from the two emotions.
Bessel is more accurate than her. She misrepresented him to strawman him.
"the body" means the cranial nerves and the heart. It seems that the fascias are also involved.
The way she mentions non scientifically the ANS with the wrong and depreciative words of "lizard" shows her intentions are not good.
She shouldn't be in big think.
@@nickpshelley6115 sorry that's wrong.
