This virtual screening and panel discussion of Medicating Normal- film featured:
Drew Factor, MD, MPH is a Sacramento, CA internal medicine physician with over 20 years of experience. His view and practice of medicine was radically shifted when, in early 2019, he learned about the Adverse Childhood Experience study and started reading Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s book “The Body Keeps the Score”. This new paradigm helped shift his approach to patients, led to the creation of an 8-part class called Well-Being: Being Well which he taught to his patients, and helped all but resolve his ever-mounting burn-out. He left his medical group in May 2020 and will be joining One Community Health, a local federally qualified health center (or FQHC) where he is helping them to build out their Trauma-Informed, Resilience Oriented (TIRO) approach. He is also currently working on a documentary film series with director Steven Fischer and Dr. Vincent Felliti to highlight the effect of ACEs on people, and the healing modalities that can foster growth and deep healing.
Chris Paige, LCSW, MSW is a licensed psychotherapist and coach with over 27 years of experience helping people heal from traumatic experiences. Highly skilled in healing trauma, he has been featured on Dateline NBC for his work with children of divorce as well as in the national publication, Muses and Visionaries, where he wrote a monthly column called "On The Couch with Chris Paige." Chris is trained in hypnosis, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Safe and Sound Protocol and Somatic Psychotherapy, all of which he incorporates into his work. Chris also offers a unique perspective as a member of the prescribed harm community, having endured his own iatrogenic injury from prescribed psychiatric medication.
Karla Helbert, LPC, E-RYT, C-IAYT is a licensed professional counselor (LPC), internationally certified yoga therapist, (C-IAYT), registered yoga teacher (RYT), award winning author, Divine Sleep® Yoga Nidra Guide, and a Compassionate Bereavement Care Provider certified through the MISS Foundation, the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Family Trust, and the Center for Loss & Trauma. Counseling and supporting those living with traumatic grief and bereavement is her main focus of work.

Support groups can save lives
Very well-curated panel, thank you.
Psych Medication does not heal the physical effects of trauma and stress.
I think Alzheimer’s and dementia is a stress response and it’s neurotoxicity. I think it can be one or the other or both for any individual. I’m glad this was mentioned. That’s good to hear others, especially professionals who are thinking along the same lines as I am.
I applauded when I learned that CA was paying doctors for ACE's administration. Forgetting labels, identifying persons (expectant parents, for example) who have high ACE scores is merely identifying persons likely to be in need of support services, which might then, in an ideal world, be provided. This is a long-range goal, therefore difficult, but the costs down the road for mental health services, healthcare costs, addiction treatment, corrections, etc. AND suffering and loss of life require what would be a large investment. More cost effective to medicate symptoms and provide CBT and expect intergenerational trauma to be "cured." Ludicrous, it is.
I have trauma after beeing medicated by psychiatrist, i have to go to the terapy, they arę nightmare
Hello, I have been following this channel for a while, do you ever discuss anything about ocd?
Many people suffer GREATLY without meds I believe I'm one of them If you wean off your meds, what is going to stop your underlying condition from surfacing? Why is this never discussed?

Montessa, exactly! We get blamed because trauma, often physical, has damaged us terribly. It's rotten.

@@bobtaylor170 The trauma can be constant verbal emotional & psychological abuse & neglect. We can only focus on that which helps us. Every person on earth experiences trauma. Writing has been shown to help people handle emotional distress better than talking. Or pills. Write a list. Your favourite words. Anything. Get your feelings out on the page or screen. You're not mentally ill. You're a human being having an understandable reaction to circumstance. At the rate we're going, we're all going to be in the laughing academy, drugged up to the eyeballs. Life is suffering. The Buddhists say it. The Christians say it. Give yourself your dignity back & say : Hey - i'm human. Respect your limits. Respect the fact you survived. Acknowledge your strength ! Get writing...you'll get in contact with the one you really need - you !

@@kimlec3592 , of course, trauma doesn't have to be physical. And no one should take a pill or a treatment he can do without. But for some of us, trauma is extremely physical as well as emotional. I'm a mass murder survivor with two physical disabilities which will be with me for the rest of my life. No writing one's way out of that! A mistake people of all kinds who are ill make frequently is to presume that other people's illnesses might be helped by whatever helps theirs.

Why do you run the beginning credits so quickly that they cannot be read? It's ridiculous.
