Rick Doblin: Overcome Trauma
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 03. 2021
- Mayim explains the neurobiology of trauma and reveals her own experience working to overcome a traumatic event. Rick details the ground-breaking research his lab is doing using MDMA to treat PTSD. Rick and Mayim discuss everything from the ancient cultural origins of psychedelics and explore the "unified mystical experience of oneness" that is often brought on through the use of this medicine. Rick explains how MDMA can help free people who are stuck in a fight-or-flight response by calming their overactive amygdala while reconnecting them to disconnected memories. Jonathan volunteers Mayim for Rick's next study to get help with her on-going nightmares and Rick shares in real time the results of his most recent research which promises to change the laws and future of how we treat PTSD.

The more I watch these podcasts, the less of a weirdo I feel and the more human I feel and it's such a relief and so uplifting.. I love how we are guided to understanding and the lack of bias.. This alone speaks volumes of the beauty of Mayim and her guests..
I get the feeling Mayim knows about German New Medicine, but also knows what happens to people who go against the brainwashing of Western Medicine and the Germ Theory. Being told a lie for 100 years never makes it the truth, but it does make the medical empire lots of money.
So much this!!!
Every disease is based on the Germ Theory, which was the theory of ONE man over 100 years ago. It was never proven to be 100% valid, and has not even been QUESTIONED again. Why? In order for a theory to be valid, it must be reproduceable in each and every person 100% of the time. Every single person exposed to a "virus" MUST get sick from it 100% of the time, over and over again. It's how you PROVE a theory is valid. This was never done. Scientists used to think witches and witchcraft were valid!! Educated people?? hahaha!! If you cannot "catch" cancer, arthritis or diabetes from another person, then you cannot "catch" a cold or flu. There is no such thing that only SOME diseases are communicable, but not all. It's either all or none of them...they are all based on the same Germ Theory. If you can't "catch" someone's lung cancer, you can't "catch" their colds or flu. Upsetting and distressing events in a person's life is what cause ALL cancer and cancer-equivalent disease, cold, flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. A massive fear campaign will CAUSE people to be "worried sick", but sickness doesn't happen until people resolve their fears. Why do you think kids get sick in October? Because their fear of going back to school and being upset about it finally dissolves, and they get back into their routines. What the media and government is doing to people is criminal. Western Medicine is pure fraud. I can't be the only person in this disgustingly brainwashed world who knows about German New Medicine.

Fascinating info--thank you
Thank you Mayim for bringing to light that taking care of our mental health is just as important as our physical health. Mental health issues are not personal moral failures. They are a complex interplay between our genetics, environmental experiences, personal behaviors and our complex neurological system. Caring for you’re mental health and working through mental health issues is not a weakness it’s a strength. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to your weekly podcasts! Thank you again.
Dr. Bialik, not only are you famous, you are accomplished in many areas, and from everything I've heard, the common thread is how you are a truely a lovely person. I think that's awesome.
My favorite expression is ‘trauma is trauma’. As a Veteran I’ve compared the experiences that ‘gave me’ ptsd to those who have been overseas or got ‘blown up!’ But the reality is how we cope whether it be sexual assault 🤦♀️ or an explosion, the aftermath is often the same. Another soldier comforted me and said , trauma is trauma and ever since I’ve felt peace with it. Wow. Love this. Xo
Thank u for sharing & thank u for ur service. My father is a Vietnam Veteran & he finally, after many many years, admitted he suffers from PTSD…which we all were pretty certain of. It’s so good to know that no one is alone. Many are suffering. I hope ur able to get some healing w/ur PTSD:)
I love the frank, open, and unguarded conversations. The show speaks that secret language we have all been silenced from having. Mayim really owns her space without taking away an acre from her co-host and guests. I'm grateful too that this is on CZcams and can be easily accessed when I have time. I don't own a TV/cable and no radio.
I DO have PTSD... from finding my father deceased when I was 18, and again resurfaced after spinal cord resection surgery. (I’ve learned from my therapist that PTSD can sometimes occur from invasive surgery of the brain, spine or heart...and boy, did it!). And I much appreciate this episode.

This is traumatizing, retriggerimg
Kimberly- I am so sorry to hear that you have gone through that kind of devastation and being re-triggered too. I also want to add that the experience of being traumatized by surgical procedures is actually more common than most of us know.
Even if we have mentally agreed to a surgery or electively decided to have a surgical procedure, the body itself is having a very different experience. In reality, the physical body is being "held down, drugged and cut", which is understood as an assault as far as your body is concerned.
The body is literally experiencing a situation where it cannot escape and is being cut and opened, which on any other level would be extreme violence to itself right? And so for some of us, this is processed much more like an assault than a choice to undergo a medical operation.
This is also why it can trigger older trauma situations in the body- as the body holds memory of trauma which I LOVE that this podcast brought up! An excellent book to read is "The Body Keeps Score" by Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk, which I believe the guest mentioned. Dr. Van der Kolk he is one of the world's foremost experts on trauma resolution- which often must engage the body as the fascia, connective tissues and muscles hold trauma memory. It also explains why some people get very emotional or cry or have memories resurface after a massage.
Anyhow- there is a wonderful homeopathic remedy called Staphysagria 30C that can help the body resolve/release the residue of feeling violated by a surgical process. It addresses trauma/violation of any kind technically, but is is specifically a great tool for the feeling of trauma after surgery. This might be something that could bring you further relief and I think definitely worth your time to look into.
I have seen this remedy work in so many people and it also as the direct added benefit of helping a body heal from surgical cuts faster if given during recovery. Plastic surgeons are even giving patients homeopathic remedies now including both staphysagria and arnica to speed healing and pain post surgery since they are so safe and do not interact with other drugs.
Better yet, rather than just going and getting some staphysagria (which you can buy from most healthfood stores or online) you might really love having a consult with a "classically" trained homeopath.
I can wholeheartedly recommend a brilliant homeopath named Tria Milo. She is on FB and she has her own website too. She was instrumental to my healing of years of trauma from a very abusive childhood and I was actually given staphysagria several times during our work together. It played such a big role in softening my past and homeopathy is a super gentle tool that works with the body at the right pace for the body and mind both.
I wish you much blessing on your healing journey,
Danielle
I can relate I found my mom when I was 14. I'm sorry You have to go through that truma
I would love if you had Rick Doblin on again. I have always felt, we as a society, don't explore all solutions we can-to heal. We have such need, and such exclusion to helping those who need. Thank you for your help in expanding our knowledge and awareness. Thank you for your help. I am a grateful follower.
Wow this is great. I was diagnosed with PTSD 7 years ago. 7 years later, it has gotten so much better. Trust me, I’ve done so much work to get better. I definitely do still have symptoms but it’s not often as it was before. This is great to go into depth of PTSD. A lot of people need to be more educated. Thank you for this!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mmmm mdma mmmm 😋 🙃😆🙌🙏💕🇨🇦 As a Veteran with PTSD and Severe Anxiety I found this very I formative. I’m an advocate for Cannabis for Trauma and friends who advocate for alternative treatments such as MDMA. Huge HUGE believer and am so excited to see this being brought further into the forefront. And as for hearing EVERYONE including my TEENS use the term ‘ugh that gave me PTSD’ it dilutes it SO much! It’s exhausting and I feel it’s highly misunderstood. Bravo guys 👏 🙌🤓
When you're young, you can also experience surgeries and other medical treatments as traumas. Childhood traumas that set you up for PTSD don't have to be abuse.
Absolutely!! Medical trauma can occur at any age, but young children, understandably, are particularly susceptible. Wow. This just slammed me with memories.
Well, neglect has a certain likeliness to play a role regardless, because children who aren't accompanied through the emotional impact of those medical experiences are the ones who are more prone to internalising them, because they don't get processed and the child doesn't learn self-soothing. Also, medical professionals can behave abusively. The need to get defensive against the notion of abuse is understandable, but ultimately very often symptomatic denial. For a child, the inner wiring and mental/emotional framework around an event is automatically intersocial; it's not the disease or operation itself that traumatizes the child. The way children relate to situations is through their family system; it's different from an adult's position in the world. I have never met a person carrying developmental trauma who didn't have their trauma linked to harmful behaviour of people, and I've met a lot; studied that as well. From my observation, even in cases where a disease or medical event was a key coordinate in their story, the emotionally supercharged components were to do with people. You don't have to call it abuse if you don't want to but your correction isn't exactly accurate.
I’m commenting before I even start listening to this. I was diagnosed with PTSD at 19. I was 15 when I survived the Columbine HS massacre. Next week it’ll be 25 years. I’m 40. As I sit reflecting feeling really really overwhelmed- this came up on my recommended feed. I love you Mayim and Jonathan. I feel like you’re safe and like my favorite friends from a summer camp from the good parts of my childhood. I am grateful for you. Thank you in advance for this. I know it’s exactly what I need. Love you guys.
Hi MB. You should do a podcast on extreme bullying and the effects that it has on an individual and society. It is a cancer in our culture and it is often not talked about, yet has debilitating and life-long effects.
I think "bullying" is talked about a lot in schools, but I agree she should do an episode on bullying.
It is interesting to hear the beginning of the podcast talking about how people started using PTSD nonchalantly for random events. We do this with so many things. One word I realized many of us use very ignorantly is “I’m starving”. Any one who says it, including me, is not actually starving and disregards the people on this earth genuinely struggling to have food everyday or even once a week.
I always enjoy you. I will finish watching now lol
I have complex PTSD and I'm finding that because the term PTSD is being denigrated by over use, my diagnosis and the experience I have with is being treated like a joke.
its not a joke, though.
i am sorry for what you have been through.
@@Plethorality thank you.
Same. I've only ever told 2 people (except my psychiatrist) because of the eye-rolls and incredulity (because in my case "nothing bad happened"). It's frustrating to have everyone saying you shouldn't hide or stuff down your trauma, but then tell you your trauma wasn't bad enough to cause a condition like PTSD.
There are no words to describe how much this podcast means to me, and how much it has helped me. I suffered significant trauma as a child/young adult, and my parents always tell me to "just get over it." It is very validating to hear that this kind of trauma isn't something that you can just get over, and it is also very uplifting to learn how the brain and body react to trauma...do you know what it's like to finally feel that I'm not a defective person because I can't just get over it? Thank you.
Just when I thought I couldn't love this podcast more. Every episode teaches me so much. Always thankful for the both of you, JC and MB ❤️🥰
Thank you!! My father is a veteran of the Vietnam war. PTSD is very real and very serious. Aaaaand it drives me bananas when someone uses the term in a lesser form. ie, wrong Starbucks order etc.
When I did mdma I didn't even know it was a psychedelic. I can see how it would be good to heal yourself. My first time doing pure mdma ( not dirty ecstacy) was with my best friend at the time, we sat on my front step all night long and just talked about everything. We were able to talk about things in our lives we couldn't talk about to anyone. Your communication is just on pare and are open to talk about anything
Was diagnosed with PTSD years back. Majorly affected my life keeping me housebound for 25 years. Doing much better now after years of help and pure stubbornness. Very difficult to hear everyone claiming this problem. You don't want this. I'm still not perfect, just blessed to be functioning again. This caused heart, breathing response and more
This one hit hard ... Although there are people who have been through worse, I truly feel that some childhood traumas and more recently, medical trauma, has my mind so off kilter 😞 Would you consider doing an episode on Medical Trauma?
Great topic :/ it happens so often. The wrong instrument was used on me during an ACDF and I ended up with 3 punctures in my esophagus that I didn't know about for 3 months. I haven't been able to see a dr since the whole mess happened. I had an NDE, spent over a month in the hospital and icu and on a feeding tube for a year. I don't believe in regrets but I did lose everything and still adapting. Sometimes not sure what to do with my emotions. I wasn't physically able to cry for the two years afterwards. Now it feels like Pandora's box. I just don't know how to get to the other side of it
I too had what I finally am able to call trauma after a kidney operation when I was 4 years old! For years I’d try to belittle my experience or just try to force myself into thinking it wasn’t as bad as I remember, but I had no other choice to recognize it as trauma because it just wouldn’t go away. I’ve never dealt w/it in professional therapy…much less have never even brought it up to a therapist! Maybe I’ll see if there r any MDMA clinical trials near my area. I guess I should do some digging:)
@@Goddessattractor I feel for u. My God, what a terrible experience u had to endure! I hope at the very least u were able to bring a lawsuit or hopefully the hospital somehow compensated u? If not, I’m sorry to hear that. It sounds like u went thru the ringer. I hope ur life has improved & that ur feeling better:)
YES please! Medical trauma......
The best part about Mondays? It is the day which ushers in Tuesday and Bialik Breakdown sessions. Bless you for this one, in particular (but for the series in whole). 🎁💕
I'm loving how famous people aren't afraid of showing vulnerability lately! Certainly makes me feel human 🥰
I know this guy! I did my dissertation on the homology between drugs & music. Rick Doblin was one of the main guys in VH1’s The Drug Years that I watched as part of my research! What a dude!
Thank you for this episode. I am a former paramedic and am recovering from PTSD. I have been through A LOT to get to this place where I can say recovering. Thank you so much for being so scientific about it too. I am so tired of saying to people no you don't have PTSD and be so thankful for that.
Made the mistake of turning on the You Tube video and then hopped in the shower. Had to listen to an infomercial for the entire time! I'll wait to just listen to the podcast in the future. Enjoy the information none the less!
Could you please do an episode on Dissociative identity disorder (DID)? There is so much stigma surrounding it and more and more great research are publish to help explain the fascinating and complex survival mechanism put in place by the brain such as imagery etc. Though unlike your spontaneous response to Dr Doblin, it is in the same spectrum as PTSD (not separate category) but needs to be address a bit differently. Thank you 😊
I didn’t know mdma was extacy. I’m very sheltered though. However I absolutely loved this and the amazing work he is doing. Being from the military I’ve lost several people to suicide post deployments. It breaks my heart that there is such a stigma about getting help and that the help doesn’t always help.
Dr. Bialik, thank you. My son suffered PTSD after multiple tours in Iraq/Afghanistan. We took the grandchildren for a few weeks surrounding and including July 4th to allow him to deal with it in response to the fireworks. He didn't want to expose the kids to his trauma. Thankfully we have passed through that time with love and support and he is what we consider as healed as he can be. Blessings to all suffering.
I was in a car accident 8 yrs ago w 2 of children. A woman t-boned my car & my 6 yr old son got 10 stitches by his ear. This still get me tearing up & I'm sometimes worried when I'm driving still. I didn't want to drive my kids around anymore. My son didn't want to get in car for while after that. I'm so thankful both my children were fine.
This is by far my favorite interview closely followed by Glennon Doyle. Rick lays down thruth after truth. I hope I’m able to meet him one day. I am diagnosed with CPTSD and would love to try this treatment when it’s available to insurance
Like many I"m sure I dream of being a participant in Rick's 3 months treatment. Thank you for introducing us to these fascinating ,passionate people. I recently watched some of Blossom episodes which my family loved. Please Mayim , let us see you acting again, you are delightful! You and Jonathan are my daily dose of "feel good".
complex trauma..healing using youtube is so wonderful
“Therapy is the reality check for all of these experiences can we use them to help people actually enjoy their lives more to heal.”
I agree with you and Rick. I love this podcast more and more ❤️ everytime I listen to this podcast is that I learn something new to the extent that I take down notes. Thank you for this, Mayim and also Jonathan.
Again, your podcast made me go “huh, that makes so much sense.” I grew up with bible stories like Moses and never once thought they might just be hallucinations but after hearing Rick bring that up, it’s like I’ve got a whole new perspective on things like that.
When I thought I couldn’t love her more. She called out all those that say they have ptsd that make me who do have it feel like sh*t. And she said it in such a lovingly way.
I was kidnapped at 4 with my siblings. My life starts at that point. I did deal with a lot of abuse and trauma. As an adult, I’ve experienced things that have created horrible PTSD and agoraphobia. It’s bad. I’m getting help, thankfully.
Sending you pure white healing light ✨🙏❤️.
The effectiveness of using MDMA in healing trauma sounds incredible. I've worked on myself quite a bit using hypnotherapy to access my inner, unconscious, world. And much to my surprise, addressing underlying reasons for a dysfunctional coping tool brought me face to face with childhood trauma I'd blocked out. For me, using hypnotherapy as a healing tool changed me more than any medication or talk therapy ever could, simply because it allowed me very safe access to unconscious trauma where I was walked through a process of releasing associated painful emotions (like was talked about during this podcast). In the world of healing/ hypnotherapy it's called parts therapy.
“Hold on, let me get from the bus that you threw me under” I’m gonna use that in my everyday life. What a comeback!
I am so delighted to see the extraordinary benefit of plant medicines like Dr. Rick is talking about. MAPS is a wonderful organization doing very important work. Thanks to Dr. Mayim for illuminating this important medicine and experiences.
Thank you for explaining the overuse of the term PTSD. As someone with PTSD from extreme trauma, that lasted years and years, It is extremely offensive to me. My every day life is greatly affected and normal life takes a lot of work for me. So I really appreciate your stance on the subject. I love this podcast; it is my absolute favorite! You are a treasure.
I was diagnosed with complex PTSD (meaning there is not a single identified causal event, but rather, a cluster of events behind it) and I have had the damndest time getting help for it. So many therapists who I specifically asked if they specialize in trauma say, well yes, I am qualified to handle trauma clients. Run awaaaaaay!.....
Great podcast! In addition to the fascinating subject matter, I'm so glad that Mayim clarified her religious/spiritual beliefs. I had been perplexed by her faith because she's so incredibly intelligent-- it seemed paradoxical. Now I get it. ❤
I have PTSD from many years of repeated trauma. I’ve had significant improvement from EMDR - it has changed my life. On paper, it might seem a little silly, but it has helped me significantly improve my response to traumatic memories, and reduced the frequency of their intrusion into my daily life.
(You have to have a very trusting connection with your EMDR-trained therapist in order for it to be effective.)
I did EMDR also. It changed my life!!!
Be the downer but recognize PTSD is a problem! Prayers for our frontline workers! 🧜♀️
Mayim, you are the best!! Thank you for continuing to expand the conversation on mental health in so many ways!
I have D.I.D, and CPTSD , listening to this podcast has really been awesome, I am a medical cannabis user, and the relief of symptoms has been life changing for me, this kind of research excites me, and the potential for my future. Thank you
I recently have been diagnosed with Aspergers. Many of the same traits and sometimes people can have both. They say some are born and some develop in early childhood from trauma and neglect and such. My childhood was filled with much loss. By the time I was 12 both parents had passed away and went to live with my sister at 8 because of neglect. My mother wasn’t the same after my father passed when I was left home often. In retrospect and after speaking with doctors these kinds of advents ca lead to ptsd. I’m connecting dots now and many children who are on the spectrum experience the same feelings when we go anywhere! It’s exhausting! It’s like I’m on high alert and it’s a sensory overload! Work with a professional! They’ll help you sort things out! And hey! If a person has diabetes they take medication to help regulate their pancreas. If your brian, (which is a vital organ lol ) doesn’t function correctly it’s ok to take something the doctor gives us! Don’t allow stigma and ignorance to choose your own path! I love my alone time and such! It’s heart breaking to see those who don’t enjoy being with themselves. I’m alone but not lonely. But everyone’s different! Be patient with yourself and I wish I had gone to my doctor long ago! I coped by masking and abusing substances to fit in or feel “normal”. I no longer depend on those things and have found skills to cope. I don’t try and fit in btw! Being genuine is good enough! And if your alive you have a purpose! Don’t give up! It can get better! 🙏🏻❤️
I LOVE this man, his vision and mission. Although I will probably never take any mind altering substance under any circumstsnce, I really appreciate his perspective and desire to facilitate healing. 😍
I hope you do more podcasts on the topic of PTSD. This was super interesting. I do have the clinical diagnosis and am curious to hear more about the brain and PTSD. I’m a good 26 plus years out from the trauma and did the work of talk therapy. But this still impacts my life and the topic is just intriguing I’d love to hear about it from the perspective of your neuroscientist lens.
I'm hearing this podcast from another part of the world. It's so comforting to know that I'm not the crazy person some may think. I'm just an average woman, mother, wife, and I don't need to keep trying to be perfect. God bless you Mayim. Thank you from my heart.
Is anyone else totally binging on episodes?
I absolutely love and understand the walking the science and divine lines. I grew up with very devout Catholic parents and only 4 yrs of my education was not parochial. I am sure if there was a Catholic high school in town we would have gone. 🤣 Catholic university and a degree in Theology and psychology with a concentration in neuro physiology. Faith gives you roots....science gives you wings. 🙂
This was way too short! I was already much aware of MAPS and have some personal experience with the therapeutic effects of psychedelics, so it was lovely to hear Mr. Doblin talk and hear about their amazing progress. Kudos to you for inviting him. Please bring him back for more.
I pretty much sobbed through this. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and giving me hope.
'That's the way I think' - you and me both, Mayim.
It is so refreshing and reassuring to hear Mayim speak so candidly about PTSD, and the elegance of how she addressed the way society uses the term 'PTSD' as a diminished everyday slang term. I don't feel so alone and ashamed for having PTSD, I feel like I have a group of peers who are compassionate, understanding and so accepting of those with mental health challenges. You are making such a difference in how we as a society see 'mental health.' I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work and this podcast. You are a saving grace to people like myself.
A friend of my daugters has PTSD and has had several stokes all related. He was in the military. He struggles to cope with normal everyday things. He tends to lock himself away in his house. Lovely guy its a shame he has this problem. Its not something to play with or take forgranted or thought of as a minor problem. It is not. When you have it you dont function like a normal everyday person. Even going to the shop to buy food is a major major thing to do. My daughter helps him out and shops for him otherwise he orders in take away foods. People need to help people with this disorder. It is experienced differently for each person.
Body Keeps Score - Great 👍 book on Audible!!
I would sign up for this treatment in a heartbeat.
I'm both loving this podcast and feeling called out by 90+% of it at the same time. Weird celebrity wish: FMRI of me for her to look at for funsies as I'm a nerd who can't do small talk but silly and informative is my wheelhouse. So far I'm in therapy for everything featured in most of the episodes.
How can anyone dislike Mayim's podcasts (we all have our likes and dislikes). Mayim, thank you for all you do. Thank you for being a wonderful role model. Thank you for being genuine, raw, and sincere. We adore you!
You have taught me so much about my ex boyfriend of 20 years. I always thought I knew how he was but you just make me understand it ALL so much better in layman terms. And all your guests on here are awesome and you are absolutely my hero and I feel like my best friend. Keep up the great work.
My husband had/has PTSD (Do you ever actually get cured?) He is doing much much better now but suffered for years. He couldn’t even vocalize what he was feeling for the first several months. While he was undiagnosed it felt like he hated me and I couldn’t do anything right. After we both connected with the right therapists he was able to improve with treatment. What helped me the most was working with a CBT therapist who explained the biological and physiological things that were happening to my husband because of the PTSD. Up until that point everything felt like a personal attack on me. Once I learned what his brain was doing I could separate myself and support him. For example, I tend to run late. If we have a family party at 6 I would get there closer to 6:30 if left to my own devices. But every time I fell behind schedule my husband would flip out. He can’t be late. Now I know that it’s because when he was in the military, if a soldier was late for something it put people’s lives at risk. So he didn’t see us being 15 min late to his mom’s house, his brain was telling him “leave now or people will die”. Working with the right experts can make all the difference.
YES to this entire podcast!! This was exactly what is needed to breathe hope into so many that desperately need it. Thank you so much for this episode Mayim, Jonathan, and Rick! I appreciate all the knowledge you are bringing to all of us! 🙏🙌💕
I am loving that we now have a name, "Breakers"! Thank you SO very much for stating that clinical diagnoses are serious. Both my children and I have actual diagnoses. I cannot say how much it annoys me that people use these terms in common conversation. #MayimBialik = #Awesome !
The Breakdown builds us up. This episode is exemplary.
My journey started with my partner dying from stage 4 Glioblastoma aged 27 & my Grandad died at the same time too. I didn’t think anything was wrong with me, but I couldn’t cry at the funeral. Then my new relationship sparked massive troubles for me & I was so cold emotionally. Then I started checking my door 12 times as I would leave the house...after four years, I finally had psychotherapy for the first time & read Babette Rothschild’s The Body Remembers & I had a much better understanding. I thought PTSD was something only Vietnam or Iraq war soldiers suffered. I didn’t know my autopilot attitude in traumatic moments was a bad thing, but my brain obviously couldn’t handle just how horrific it all was. I’ve never truly felt the horrific things that happened, but like you said, it’s a journey.
The opening song is so niceee =)) Singing along with it always.
Thank you so much for this video, so helpful and such a beautiful link to the concept of oneness and the importance and relevance of spiritual / divine healing power and this amazing groundbreaking work I knew nothing about until this video. Looking forward to the many more to come!
I think Mayim would be an amazing teacher.. how she explains PTSD at the beginning of the episode is terrific and I was able to understand everything even though English isn't my native language. I really like this podcast and listening to a new episode is my favourite part (every Tuesday) of the day.. 💕🙈
Fully agree. I’d spend hours at her classes and learnt and enrich my mind a lot
@@m_brokenleg totally! I'd definitely join you 😍🙈
@@esrnele In a way, we’re now at class together watching this wonderful #bialikbreakdown episodes all around the world. Greetings from Barcelona
@@m_brokenleg that is a beautiful thought :)
I think it's the best class I've ever been to..🙈 not only because of the teacher haha😂 but also because of the topics (I find them all quite interesting tbh) and all the people who come here together because maybe they like Mayim or they're also interested in the topics which she discusses.. :D
I am from Dresden (Germany) btw.. ☺️
@@esrnele Oh, Dresden! Such a lovely beautiful city! I eas there just the autumm before Covid!
Mayims' podcasts have been the best discovery for my mental health wellness. Her learned knowledge and willingness to share is very much appreciated and needed during these times. Thank you.
OMG I am so excited for this episode! I messaged you guys that I really wanted an episode on this topic and here it is!! I haven't even watched yet and I am so grateful for the discussion! I have been following MAPS and researching psychedelics for Complex PTSD under this goofy fake name because there is no way my employer or clients would believe that I am trying to HEAL not get high.
I just Love you Girl. Ever since I was 5 years old!
This is amazing. I love how clearly you explain these topics in a language I understand.
You're a good teacher Blossom
I needed this. I experienced some triggers to my trauma this past weekend and had to work on centering myself during some me time. It's definitely interesting to learn more about how the mental processes work with my PTSD.
Fantastic episode! I work in mental health with adolescents and very interested to see how this would work with one kiddo we have. Thank you for all you are doing !😀
PTSD was really pioneered by German-born psychoanalytic theorist Karen Horney... around 1916 but not in relation to WW1/the military. She later came to Chicago & then NYC (founding the clinic with her name). The name she used was (originally in German) very similar; the term "syndrome" was developed later.
I love her in anything she does
This might be my favorite episode yet. Posted for my combat vet, formerly trafficked / assaulted friends & associates to watch, as well.
God bless your guest for the work he’s doing in this arena! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!! xo
Hello Mayim!
My name is Julian!
I am your biggest fan!
Thank you sooo much for this! I was misdiagnosed for 2-3 years with dx of PTSD (even though it didn't fit my symptoms) because of lack of knowledge of brain specialists (UCLA, Cedar Sinai, and Northridge Hospital in Los Angeles.) Finally I was was properly diagnosed as TEXT BOOK - yes, perfectly fit, nothing outside - Persistent Post Concussive Syndrome. I haven't looked in a while but even MAYO clinic had my dx information wrong. It's crazy!! Because even with a book, the DSM 4 (at the time) through 5 (now.) Doctors then blamed me saying I was too high functioning and didn't have a victim mentality - but Northridge did ask me to be on some posters so that they could highlight that a "normal" or "pretty" looking person could have an invisible injury. THANK YOU!!! Your work is very helpful! (My accident was Oct 2006.)
Shared this cause I know many who suffer this condition!
@Mayim Bialik mainly from child abuse and religious trauma from being Jehovah's witnesses, or both. I also was bitten by a dog, got a shot to prevent lockjaw at age 7, but wasn't traumatized! So the brain is amazing as you point out.
@Mayim Bialik yes I am, and glad to spread your knowledge of the workings concerning the brain too! :)
@Mayim Bialik already did, but you haven't replied to my last message but it's okay you're a busy woman, lol.
Thank You Both, ❤️

My favourite episode so far , wow !
My partners and I watch Breakdown. I'm just going to tell you we love you, and I swear i am exactly like you in so many ways. I have struggled with so many things in my life, and now I am starting to understand myself and am so glad I am not alone.
My husband has a PTSD dx as well. While I have the upmost respect for those who serve or have served in the military, that is not the only trauma related PTSD someone can recieve. I love that you are breaking this dx and getting the education out there! Love this podcast! Keep being you!
