Bessel van der Kolk - how to detoxify the body from trauma

Best ever advertisment for yoga.

💙 respect

I laughed off the trauma. I liked Doug and Dinsdale Piranha Brothers MP skit because it reminded me of the trauma suffered at home.

Birthdays were a particularly good time where l enjoyed being belted on the side of my head and my body followed behind like a gymnasts streamer. Easter was a time when l found the eggs on my head. They were very painful. They usually hurt a day or two later because that same head would be slammed into a wall.

Sept 29 was always a good day because we never got bashed on that date. Just kidding, we got bashed on that date as well.

Yoga best Ptsd treatment and better than any medication ever studied. Take that, big pharma.

Video could have been a 1 second clip of Bessel saying "Yoga"

I have spoken with survivors of the Dresden and Pforzheim bombings. The elderly dont like to talk about the horrors, and the young dont want to hear about them. So the lessons of history are lost in 2 generations.

TLDW: Yoga is most effective for treating trauma over any other drug or therapy, due to the way it directs healthy attrntion the certain parts of the body.

Not sure why the clip is titled the way it is when the info comes in only in the very last few seconds.

It's no mystery that I developed Cancer of the Gut. This is a really GREAT glimpse into the mind of a Trauma Victim. For me, the Breathing is starting to work..that alone, took 4 years. I would fight it in my mind. I was so angry and hurt of that early family betrayal that became the norm, that I couldn't even take a DEEP.breath. That's how "Locked Down" I was..I have to remain mindful.that I'm damaged in ways no one can see, and I prefer to be ready to remind myself that my reaction might be a little excessive, so it's important NOT to react so quickly, because words cannot be taken back. I PREFER to think things over while I breathe properly, and say over and over, "This will Pass. It's only a feeling."

We are all.unique. we are all.the same.

I've lived in homeless hostels in the past and these places are full of people who act out in ways that intimidate and infuriate other people. They are hard to live with and I had no sympathy with them. I would think that their bad behaviour was why they had no place to live because they kept gettingbthrown out of accommodation.

I ❤ that! Real honesty, thankyou!

Always wanted to try yoga but it has a bad rep in the Christian community. But when I realized god allowed the attacks on me he’s the abuser that gave the ptsd. Yoga it is.

things like Yoga and stuff they just calm down the Syndrom of Trauma but NOT the cause what sits in the nerve sytem

Wonderful! I will say that I am pretty sure drugs and alcohol are the #2 way that people cope with trauma. #1 is using other people to create relationships and moments/scenarios where the individual feels like a hero/victim/savior...which make the brain/body dump all. kinds of behavioral chemicals, resulting in what I would call 'being high on righteousness'.

Thanks for your videos helps put thoughts and identity around trauma fruit of the holyspirit is from my experience the answer personal identity needs to happen the mask of being told it never happened is insulting ❤

Being mindful of our inner world as much as our outer world is the right path to be on, I mean, who is it looking outside from within !. As for movement, exercise, Swimming is a must to assist healing.

Vielen Dank!

Hvala za savet. Joga je zaista dobra ideja.

I have GOT to hit the yoga stu

I got the book, The Body Keeps Score, about three years ago. I didn't get very far before I was so triggered, I had a visceral reaction to what I was reading, went into a tailspin, I'm crying just remembering how wrecked I was. I still have the book...I'm just afraid to pick it up.

Lol , try being an ancestor of chattel slavery. Being a part of a racevl that has been and continues to be traumatized by White people whose wealth was built by you. Then freed slaves with nothing and now deny their role in assuring that we live in poverty. Their evil is traumatizing and horrifying to be able to do what they've done. Yet , have no problem sleeping at night.

I make love to Chinese accountants and lawyers for 200 bucks mate. I may pay more for doctors I'm not sure. I don't know if they have engineers....

I've been traumatized by my childhood best friend, called Sydney, my earliest memories akiniuliza one day umecrushia nani, and i thought he wants to be my best friend , i gave up my authenticity which was sleeping with another girl called Britney,i gave up Britney for Sydney and then years later when I visited him he told me ukinishika hivo tena tutapigana and i wondered why he said that and it traumatized me for years

Thank you so much for talking about this

There’s no drugs and alcohol, alcohol is a drug, and one of the worst.

Somehow that line from a U2 song describes an element of the CPTSD healing experience:
running to stand still

The three world religions (corrupt programs) formerly operated off of the human sacrifice system. The purpose of the system was to genetically groom humanity, clipping the 10% of society that is able to tip us in a different direction, to keep the most enslavable stock. The reason why is because the religions are a guilt, control, fear matrix meant to trap energy divine energy in humans and diverted towards a corrupt and unforgivable purpose. The parts of the brain that are damaged by child abuse. Are the same exact parts of the brain that are overread during the state called channeling. Commonly called witchcraft/shamanistic practices they allow you to work with healing your brain from the childhood damage and that’s why the religions ban them. To further explain the type of child rearing in the patriarchal system causes damage to specific parts of the brain. There have been studies that show that channeling override those exact areas. Giving access to the collective conscious Ness which we can then use to re-mirror our brains. Mirroring is the only way that the child develops neural pathways that allow them to integrate all aspects of their nature. For instance those traits which a child does not have mirrored by A parent become part of a shadow self and actually become uncontrollable until faced. They can only become faced by becoming integrated and they can only become integrated by being re-mirrored in a new way. I could get into it more deeply such as the original Adam and Eve being like the yang symbol and that the Bible I read it in Hebrew and the original language in the deal is that they were equals Adam and eve but then Adam raped eve and gave her cognitive dissonance and she developed a split personality is Lilith and eve.
So then the original Adam was one soul much like the planet is one planet and the north was like the matriarch, the south of the patriarch, the east the sun an sun and the west a little girl. The little girl in the matriarch were one like yin on the yang symbol
And the patriarch in the son were one like on the yang part of the symbol

*a system that is represented as two men and a girl.
Or a Trinity
That’s the word for Adam taking a rib, the word means side and translates basically as the west. Meaning he took the west as his bride. A little girl it’s very hypothetical or symbolic but the idea is that there is still one force that is unintegrated and that is Lilith
We do that with our witchcraft in our music. You probably been drinking alcohol to save your life from dying from not doing the witchcraft and the music. Or you can call the witchcraft shamanism if it make makes you feel better
It’s actually by means of child abuse perpetuated by the hierarchal system called heaven. Which in reality is hell on earth. It is by this system of child abuse that soul pieces or soul parts formerly were stolen from children and the shine from these beautiful babies is given to these hideous religious leaders and these people in Hollywood. The only reason anyone likes them or thinks they seem kind is because they were formerly stealing the shine from babies.
Carl Jung talks about the collective unconsciousness of man. The collective shadow of man. We all have the shadow side which accounts for all of the parts of our self which we were unable to integrate because we were unable to have the mirrored. We were unable to have the mirrored because we have been raised a society which has taught us to get connection with others based on inauthenticity which is a lie. Which means being someone other than who you are. As this is gone on the collective shadow of man he’s gotten larger and larger and larger. All of the world religions talk about this shadow is blackness which will block out the sun in one day envelop the entire earth. This is the collective shadow of man and the end of religion

Weed is nice & no side effects, but don't drive ok ! Mine too, mom & brother died , sisters R messed up , I smoke stuff, it helps, & yes , exactly .

The way Dr. Trenkle speaks, really made me smile while listening to this serious topic. That's good ;)
Thank you for the Interview.

Yuck Foga!

Prevention is the best attitude. Nip harmful actions in the bud. Take tiny ill intended actions and words serious on the spot.

Yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ breathing techniques excercise mindfulness meditation and having compassion for one self is important too

💕

It is almost impossible to become drug addict without having trauma in your child good)
most likely he inspired dr. Gabor mate with the theory of trauma.

Tai Chi is wonderful! So is Qi Gong...

Thank you.

Turned out he was a bully and a fraud...sad.

Read The Body Keeps the Score if you haven’t already. Essential reading for parents, teachers, humans

Dealing with your body is a real therapy. :)

...and there I go, licking my wounds, doing meditation, keeping the triggers off, herbal teas, deep breathing AND a neighbour comes to shout at me because the leaves of trees in my yard are messing his yard. My whole body shatters, my whole body feels pain.
How can I treat my traumatic violent history, when an ass hole, comes from nowhere to dismantle all what I've done?

Sadly, Bessel, who I met in Michigan in 1997, has not apprised himself of the trauma recovery that occurs in 12-step meetings, including the emphasis on what Carl Jung called a transformative "spiritual experience", most often as a result of the unconsciously perceived "protection and care" of the 12-step meetings. I'm a retired psychiatrist experienced in trauma recovery, but always once removed in my professional life. "It's almost impossible to become an addict without a history of trauma, and alcoholism, also." Now, at 77, I've come to the realization that I, too, am a childhood sexual and emotional abuse survivor, and a recovered alcoholic/marijuana/tranquilizer dependent person, in recovery for 11 yrs., this time. My trauma history was never addressed by the rehabs/psychiatrists/addictionists in 1986 when I entered a mandated supervised recovery program and F/U, only to relapse after 13 yrs. sober, when I became the Medical Dir. of the trauma program through which I met Bessel. Ironic? 12-step groups and sponsors have given me the protection and care I have sought my whole life. Best wishes to all! Stress R us

I recently discovered tibetean healing yoga, it's called Lu Jong, kind of works like Chi Gong. It might be worth trying as well. Good luck to all of you <3

As a person whose family was both sent to concentration camps and some of whose family escaped to America. As a child I saw pictures of our dead ancestors thrown like garbage in piles in trucks in Abba Eden’s book “My People” . It was a difficult thing to come to terms with. I felt sadness, anger horror and even proud of their courage. It strengthened my fortitude somehow but there is always some residual sadness. Later I met WW2 hero’s who I met as a nurse and I was honored to listen to their 1st hand accounts of Japanese POW camps and one was a member of platoon dropped to Normandy during D day. He told me only 1/9 paratroopers survived before they hit the ground. Somehow he survived but they each lived with PTSD to some degree or another. It’s one thing to read accounts, entirely another to look into the eyes of men who saw things they’ll never forget .

Ask your Dutch prime minister to resign with all his woke colleagues and replace them with sensible people.

I approve this message. Until detox part. I hate yoga.

I must meet you dr Bessel
