How clearly the complex subject of PTSD and it's solutions are presented in this video.Hats off to the presenter who spoke better than a Harvard Professor in simple and dynamic ways.Thanks once again.
Thanks so much for that!!
It sucks for family to call me difficult & "crazy" over a physiologic process that started shortly after birth & I have little control over.
Not surprisingly most professors aren’t necessarily brilliant , they for the most part are just system survivors , put bluntly a** kissers.

Oh, the "joys" (Not) of ignorant family-members! It's good that you have awareness, even if they don't. That's crucial, and excellent. 😄
Sending a hug to all who are suffering rn.. keep going, you will get there 🤗
Thanks for watching.
Thank you 😊 💓 love and light to all who have these extreme emotional responses...
Thx so much:) needed to hear that ❤️
@@DocSnipes I have a newby chiropractor telling me my top two vertebrae are out of alignment, and therefore is pulling my whole spine out of alignment. Not sure if I'm believing him or not. I do have an issue that a neurosurgeon wants to put injections in, at my C-7.
He took x rays, that showed the very top one off a bit to the right. But I was positioned a bit off center for the x tray. How can I trust him?
(I wanted to add that I have previously undiagnosed scoliosis, which he believes is being caused my my spine trying to balance the two at the top being off)
I have subluxations ~ No need for injections!!!
I'm 59, was abused from childhood through my early 30's before I escaped. I feel like this is the first time I've understood myself.
Ewetoob blocked me from seeing the 1 reply to this comment. Censorship sucks.
I’l escaped in my late 30’s. I’m 40 I’m finding out about myself too. I’m a victim of religion/the judicial system/Narcissistic parenting/narcissistic culture (the black community)
@@chaznonya4 Excellent-see if you can grasp dying to your past life and then being reborn, but this time it's in a fully developed body with baggage.
You can ALWAYS get a new a suitcase-in fact treat yourself to a #6 suit at your tailor and when you put that bad boy on.......
Remember Ralph Waldo Emerson stated that no religion can equal the sense of serenity that a full custom suit can.
@@originalandrewmark lol, Thank you for confirmation. I suppose I found my own version of that by instinct. How about a time with the Yocut Bear tribe? Did a sweat, followed by a 4 say fast (they kept an eye on me) and finally a morning "sweat out" as a rebirth ceremony.
My circumstances are too poorly for a suit, but I do dress as I please now. I've stopped seeking approval from others and seek more to approve of who I see in the mirror.
Thank you so much for your response - healing is the #1 goal of my life.
@@chaznonya4 The human touch is imperative and the intimacy that goes with that is nowdays quite rare. Sheri Longcotton, my girl was kidnapped from me by her eldest SON and taken out of state almost 2000 mi. away because HIS love for her has decided what's best for him
all under the approving eyes of other corrupt people under the color of love and law. I bear witness to the depravity of family in the Western world and hope and pray that ALL NAZI'S are exposed, soon!
My mind is just blown! I've literally have been having mental breakdowns. I have been suffering from trigeminal Neuralgia. I've had vasovagal esponses where I've passed out. I have finally gotten myself into therapy after fearing opening Pandora's box to all the traumas I've been through. And after being tested I have been diagnosed with Complex PTSD, major depressive disorder and anxiety. I also have hypothyroidism and IBS. It's crazy that this is all connected and nobody has really connected the pieces together!! Thank you so very much for breaking this down in it's simplest form! I truly appreciate you
It's not crazy, it's normal, unfortunately. Even one discipline only diagnosis's the most obvious things, for instance, I diagnosed my daughter-in-law with kidney stones when she was pregnant, after 2 unsuccessful trips to the ER. I had no medical experience, I looked up where the pain was, found the organ, read it's common in pregnancy, & given the amount of pain she was in....we went back the 3rd time & I asked them to look for kidney stones & she spent the rest of her pregnancy in Urology. Her kidney was blocked & on the verge of becoming life threatening. My best friend just died after over a decade of nightmares, he knew the Drs personally, he was misdiagnosed 3x with Optical Neuritus, then 3x misdiagnosed when he had MS, then he died with all that & cancer, only for me to figure out it was the Mold disease he got prior that caused the MS, Optical Neuritis, & cancer, & he got a stem cell replacement, but they never addressed the core cause, the disseminated mold disease which caused all of it. I only figured it out after he died because I was so busy researching what he currently had & medications (some side effects are hideous and/or DEATH...my brother in ICU nearly died as a "side effect"). so please do your own research!! I have enough horror stories to write a book. My X-husband worked in the medical field, members of my family are Drs, I know what goes on behind the scenes, even when you know the Dr & they mean well, they can cut a nerve, etc that can cost you a lifetime of pain. Much Love
@@julielea8344 how to detox mold?
@@edieandy1 you can’t! You leave the place!
@@edieandy1 Go to a natural pathic Dr. They have a way of testing your whole body. I don't remember what it's called. My friend and I had it done. And everything they said made sense.
This is actually helping me to learn how to relax. It is not automatic yet to learn how to relax. Part of it, believe it or not, is that you are a very nice lady. My trauma was early and involved learning, so niceness and patience to explain everything and not test us immediately after (and shame mistakes..my father's style) helps me sooo much with my learning trauma. Thanks for being such a good teacher. It helps me get what I need on a safety level to relax and learn. I can't learn when I don't "feel safe" enough. My brain just seizes up. Having a good teacher is a gift that we don't always get. The safety I need is not just physical, it is actually mostly emotional and worry about how I am going to be treated.. with love or abuse. And then I fawn to try to make my environment the way I need it... supporting my abuser so he/she won't emotionally cut into me.
You’re so welcome. I appreciate you watching the video. I am grateful to be of help and am grateful that you are a member of the channel.
This explains why children, those with disabilities hum. It calms the nerves and gives them a happy place, the ability to trigger relaxation
Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
@@DocSnipes
I hummed a lot growing up. Not anymore though?
@@kassandra6128 maybe you've done it so long it's second nature to when something makes you uncomfortable etc
Music therapy. Why all teachers should be required to study this. I need to use it much more in my classroom.
I think the music that we like at certain times can help me judge where my kids thoughts are at and will help me ask better questions as well as redirect or aid their attempts to manage what is going on unseen in their heads.
I'm learning and healing as I go. Dr. Snipes is an amazing teacher.
😀 Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
Yes, she's given me hope that there might actually be a way to fight cptsd.
@@youtubepolice1060 I have cptsd, anxiety, depression too. You can get there.. You just need to stay active. I recently got the job that I always wanted and I feel so much better, there are good days and bad days but keeping yourself busy and finding the right meds and dose helps.
@@youtubepolice1060 I also talk about my feelings when I'm down or have disturbing thoughts. Before I used to supress it and drown but now I try to tell my loved ones I'm not ok. I don't tell them what I'm experiencing, you don't have to be specific, but just tell them you want a hug or comfort.
You have no idea how much your videos are helping me, but I still need to see a Therapist. Thanks so much.

I came here to learn about the connection of a long haul covid condition called 'anosmia/parosmia' to our emotions and the vagus nerve.....learning so much more!❤ And it's good to know that I am on the right track regarding humming and breathing. I tried the Wim Hof method but it made me more anxious, so am learning rhe Buteyko method instead....slow, gentle breathing.
vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an alternative treatment for refractory epilepsy, refractory depression, cluster headaches, and migraines. Furthermore, current evidence showed promising results towards the treatment of more brain diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and stroke. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33894241/
Thank you. Lifetime migraines and now fibromialgia due to CPTSD. Just now learning about the vagal nerve connection. The pain is REAL
That’s really interesting
just listening to this and understanding, I felt my body started to relax, calm down, I dont even realize how stress and stiff my body is all the time. Thank you for this.
Glad it helped!
Stress is awful try breath work helps me
I have been so horrendously traumatized.God helps me cope.❤️✝️🙏
The vagus nerve, also known as the vagal nerves system, are the main nerves of your parasympathetic nervous system. This system controls specific body functions such as your digestion, heart rate and immune system.
What is a therapy avenue we can explore to help. I hear her mention some here, do you have advice also.
@@steph6337 Breathing exercises can be very helpful.
@@steph6337
Search on YT. Good videos. Try Suki Baxter.
Learn the breathing technique called diaphragmatic breathing, belly breathing, or crocodile breathing (lay on your stomach). Chronic breathing with the upper respiratory muscles increases sympathetic tone.
Love the format of notes and you, 1to1. Many of us can't afford therapy & knowledge appointments. Your human touch is healing. You're very lovable and generous. Respect!
Too kind. 😀 Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
Some people too traumatized to go to therapy too. 🙏😢
Thank you. This series is important for me as a Ukrainian, who lived through some trauma before the war, and the bombs falling did not help
Best wishes to you, and your family and friends. Hopefully, you are in an area of the country less affected that others. Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
Oh wow...that's crazy..., I'm almost positive I was brought here by my crazy phone owner, (yes I pay for my own phone with my money 💰) not sure why? Haha.... but she/u sound very knowledgeable 👍.
Wow, I love the wrap up of all I have been learning about trauma as this new information becomes available. As a therapist and I am learning to practice these skills to help myself first, then my clients! Thank you for making this easy to understand.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.

I don't think you understand how much you really saved our souls. You dk how huge the difference you made is
I appreciate you watching. Other videos that might help can be found at: czcams.com/users/DocSnipessearch?query=Releasing%20trauma
Do you have a video on how to release the trauma from the body?
Wow I’m not even 10 minutes in and I’m just contemplating the beautiful depth of God’s creation of man
Far out.
Recently I found out I have PTSD, pushed away my GF (she was the trigger), had no clue why, want to start figuring out how to fix it and she is gone... like sooo gone, blocked everyway possible...
My timing has me experiencing emotional stress and heart break that is so overwhelming.
We all are facing challenges. At least knowing what they are will allow us to cope, heal and be ready for the next time it shows up.
I will be heal!!!
Meditation is brilliant if you don’t already
May God bless you in your healings. 🙏🏻
Prayer,diet,exercise,fresh air and nature, frequencies,selflove,selfcare,self-love,, environments help with all of this
Most importantly get abusive toxic bullies out of your life!!!!
I have ptsd & anxiety 🙃
Still dealing with an abuser regularly we share a child
I stay in flight/fight mode
Grew up in abusive toxic home
20 year cycle with an abuser
I isolate myself which makes it worse
Overtly independent
🙏Amen
It sucks when your married and the other person don’t believe your going thru all this
Thank u for this series. Dealing with tremendous white coat syndrome that puts my bp into the dangerous zone due to previous med trauma (stroke due to blood clot during an angiogram). The stroke caused very unstable pressure, then bad reactions to those readings by med peeps, anxiety that the reading will be high, rinse & repeat. I knew the trigger was the sound of the machine but didn’t know how to fix it. Thanks for giving me a place to start!
I have white coat too and it's progressively gotten worse over the years to where it reads extremely high at the doctors.
I'm even uncomfortable taking it myself at home, but I am able to eventually get relaxed enough to have it read within the normal range. I just wish doctors would be more mindful and not put so much pressure on it and actually listen and trust their patient. I do my best to avoid going to the gp at all costs nowadays. I'd happily go if I knew they weren't going to go near reading my bp!
I’m so sorry! 🙏

Thank you for your content and your clarity
Very interesting, thank you so much for explaining this. I have anxiety since I was a young child. The disease of my husband (early onset Parkinson), his passing away, and me being now on my own, hasn't made it better. During the first year of the lockdowns have developed pain somewhere in my throat or neck, don't know, it feels like having a lump on the right hand side of my throat. Have that now for over 2 years. I saw the picture in your former video in which I could see the NV. It struck me that an important branch passes on the right hand side of the neck. Saw that you have a next video about massaging the NV. Anyway, will dive deeper into this. Feel that I might have a clue at hand here🙂
Thank you so much Doctor Snipes !
Thank you for the videos and time you committed to put this information out here for all of us. I greatly appreciate it.
Omg I’m going through all these trauma responses
Thank you this is all incredibly helpful thank you
Hey Doc! ❤ Thank you sooooo much! I am learning this to assist my clients. You are the best!
Thank you Doc Snipes for explaining the concepts of DMN- Amygdala relation and stress
Excellent presentation of complex neurophysiological processes with practical applications for many people, not just those suffering with PTSD. Thank you so much. Bravo!
Welcome! 😀
Thank you Dr. Snipes! I appreciate you taking time to explain this concept!!!
Welcome. :)
Thank you to all the change makers out there, finally we are getting answers and understanding, keep going, you are loved and needed beautiful soul ❤ 💜 💙
Wow the thing she's talking about the disconnect the autopilot the overall awareness it's like she's describing my issues these videos are amazing

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

The orienting reflex is hyper sensitive in children who’ve experienced early childhood trauma as well as children with ASD, ADHD, and sensory processing disorders. This has many implications for teachers and those working directly with these children.
Thank you for this video...I feel better already. Waiting patiently for video 3🌹
I rolled the Part 3 into the end of 2. There is another related video here: czcams.com/video/EkbgW83t2OQ/video.html
Doc Snipes you are the best! You genuinely care about helping people and your videos have detailed information that I have been able to apply and help with what I didn't realize, was trapped trauma from childhood. I appreciate your being personable as well, in your videos.

You are welcome!
This is such a complex topic to talk about but you have do such a great job and giving the examples throughout the video we’re so informative. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
The doctor's expressiveness made this enjoyable and intersting to watch. You don't often see that, because people who are good at techinical "book learning" aren't always that "people friendly." Thank you!
Thanks much. I appreciate your kind words. 🙂

Doc Snipes, the humming really works!!
Great video! Very informative and helpful!🙂

I just listened to this entire video. As I listened I kept wondering why male infant circumcision isn’t considered to be traumatic.
I was just thinking about this yesterday. How traumatic that must be and it's right away 😩
It absolutely is.
Excellent question. That's why my sons not circumcised. It's cruel and in this modern age of cleanliness, it's not neccasary.👍
Religions are not generally known for wisdom or kindness from my experience. That’s what happens when religions dictate behavior.
I just love this.
Thank you for watching the video. What did you find most helpful from it?
I have had CPTSD, BPD, and GAD since my early teens. I am 24 now. I can literally count on one hand how many times in my life I have felt relaxed or safe. Sometimes I break down because all I want is a moment of comfort, safety, contentment but I can’t seem to let myself have it. I have always felt stuck in survival mode, so much so that when I would try to relax through meditation and such, my muscles would start spasming. It never feels safe, but I am learning to grow, heal, and let go. I’m grateful that you mentioned BPD in a way that doesn’t stigmatize people like me further, so thank you.
Tremendously I Am Grateful for the teachings you share. Looking forward to part 2 of this series. Thank You 🙏🏼 Very Much.
You are so welcome
@@DocSnipes just clicked on your video for first time - sounds good! I'm having voice problems and I've heard that the vagus nerve can have something to do with it..

@@DocSnipes I'd love to say all of it! Lol but for me personally, definitely the part about the HPA Axis disregulation and being constantly activated and how that can really take a toll on your body. You hear people say "stress is bad" but actually understanding the physical changes that can happen in your body versus just mental changes as a result of chronic trauma/stress is something that I wish I learned when I was in therapy.
Wow, what a wonderful kind generous intelligent & genuine woman this Doctor is.
I am highly impressed with her knowledge as I am with her energy, so kind and incredibly helpful!!
Many thanks Doctor 👩⚕️
Wow, thank you!
The music angle is really important. Like a depressed person does not need alcohol to add to their anxiety, for me, what calms most people can actually heightened my anxiety. I cannot tolerate a quiet room for very long. If music is too calming when my anxiety is high? It can increase my dread or fail to drown out the bad memories trying to take focus in my head. It is why meditation is difficult for me due to PTSD.
Thanks for watching.
Thank!!
A full fleshed master class❤
Thanks for watching
so helpful thank you
You're welcome!
Thanks, Doc, this was informative and really easy to understand! It also helps clear a lot of things up for me, as far as my extreme response to things like reflections or noises from the fridge. I gotta get this vagus nerve toned up! On to your next video. 😀

@@DocSnipes I have a question about something... would the loss of disc height have any effect on the Vega nerve.....
Hi James. I'm very sorry you have experienced those traumas. I look everywhere online but never come across any information regarding electric shock accidents etc. I experienced 2 severe shocks at 3 & 6 years old and no one took me to get checked out. I have found very little info on the long term effects. Do you have any information I could look at?
I’m sending these videos to our therapist, and the victims advocate at our prosecutor’s office. This is much needed information!
Thank you. And let the advocates know I am happy to do other videos. They can also learn more about trauma impact in the Trauma Informed Care Certificate at allceus.com/TIC
@@DocSnipes My entire family was traumatized 2 years ago, my daughters trauma began 6 months prior. We are still in a severe state of trauma and barely able to function. This is a terrible way to live and I’m trying to understand it. Thank you and I’ll look into more of your videos.
Great explanation of what PTSD does to us. Really broken down and I appreciate it. 😊
Thanks. So glad you are here.
@@DocSnipes Sorry for all of the posts. All of your analysis has been useful. Cognitive Therapy did help me at least use physical objects to regain control of my thoughts in a pinch. It helped me understand the need to reprogram my instincts the best that I could. My mistakes go back to the misunderstanding of where bounderies lie. Sadly, religion interfered too much in my decision making process. Jesus may forgive and forgive but this puts families into a never ending cycle of violence. Children as well when we are taught an alien being will rescue us or prevent us from serious harm. It made me think as a child that death was more beautiful then life. To a child trapped in an abusive home, death can appear as the only means to stop the abuse. Not every child can accept being horribly abused. They will act out in whatever means possible to protect themselves from becoming a non- being for someone to keep abusing.
I was rescued by dad's family before someone got murdered. To be so close to such an act as a child ..it affected my level of empathy. It also though made me want to do what I could to provide some children with a safe and proper living environment free from abusers.
Thank you.

I watched the first video in this series, then started this one part 2. I need to pause and save to watch later. Too much information overload for a person who is ADHD with cPTSD . very useful and important information, and I wonder how I can use it to improve my mental and physical health. I wonder how much of my “physical pain” is really as I have been told “only in my head, not real”
Thank you for putting videos like this out there....I came across it after thinking to myself that my past trauma (having acknowledged mentally) is now coming out physically (sore neck, past injury, unexpected nerve pain).
You are so welcome. Thank you for watching. What have you found most useful from the video?
@@DocSnipes that how I intuitively listen to my body (bio feedback since a kid) that I can correct health issues and once we acknowledge a mental aspect that it does come out physically because of the emotions that bring the body back to a trauma state even though physically we are not in that moment no more.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Very welcome
Schema is a good word to remember
Really good info... thanks doctor babe :)
Thanks for watching.
Didn't have much time so I listened to this on 1.5x playback speed, and it was still easy to comprehend.
Thanks, Doc, for the insightful yet simple information. It was helpful to have the notes on the screen.
So glad. Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
I can see that what you're saying makes sense. If we hold ourselves in a happy or at least comfortable seeming way then eventually we'll do that naturally which will trick us in to not feeling so helpless, in emotional pain etc.
Thanks for watching! Wishing you peace, health, and, happiness.
@@DocSnipes Thank you, it was a pleasure! Same to you!
musician here-more than humming, i believe SINGING is best for vagal tone, especially learning the concept of opening the back of the throat and singing full out. this is much better than closed-mouth humming since movement releases tension, and singing requires lots of mouth and face movement, big breathing, muscle control, etc.
Thanks for sharing!
I need to listen to part 1
It's making a lot of sense 4 me .. I'm getting it..
Thanks for watching.
excellant so very true
