    @@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?

    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

    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.

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

I just wish doctors would be more mindful and not put so much pressure on it and actually listen and trust their patient. I do my best to avoid going to the gp at all costs nowadays. I'd happily go if I knew they weren't going to go near reading my bp!

    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.

    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.

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.

    @@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.
