Very pleasant to listen to.

So I do have this. I got bullied, and one of the methods that they used was treating me silently and making me feel bad. Whenever someone is angry and they treat me silently, my anxiety gets so bad that I started to have panic attacks and remembering every single thing about that memory and apparently breaking down and I can't control it

A woman living alone being stalked and sexually harassed by a neighbor and can't afford to move can't limit her exposure. If you have no friends and support you can't get away. Calling the police escalates the situation. Forget about help you're lucky if anyone believes you. Here's the help I get "do you feel like you need to go to the hospital?" Where I can pace up and down a hall for a week and receive no therapy - no one even speaks to you in the mental hospital. It just reinforces the feeling that nobody cares or believes what is actually happening to you.

So soothing to listen to a compassionate voice. My escape when I can't remember is: 'I got nothing for you man'. I found that humour always makes a situation more bearable. Shalom from South Africa.

He understands so well. It’s refreshing to listen to someone who understands. Thank you so much for this video. ❤️

I'm traumatized of family, when i hear the word, when i read, hear about family, i feel very....stressed, i squeeze my nails into my hands until i bleed or until it hurts and i have the tendency to repeat "i hate my family, i hate my family" i dont but its how i cope........i...never told anyone its a terrible feeling....

where do I find these supportive, loving people to surround myself with? Everyone I know is too busy with family/kids etc. I have no family/friends I can count on and never did. I want to not attract toxic unavailable people as I am learning boundaries and skills to get well.

Thank you so very much for your help and understanding! You are one of the many reasons I am on the recovery side of complex PTSD and well on my way to designing a life that works for me and for my family. It seemed all was lost a couple years ago, but despite the hardships, vast losses, and hard work, I now know that it had been worthwhile. I see the fruit of that labor, and it has brought much more balance and peace to my inner life. Thank you, again!

I just experienced one of my dormant triggers, and hence reached here. Thank you. Simple yet effective techniques. When I was little, my mother always knocked my door with panic & urgency. Just her way of being. Sometimes it would wake me up from a deep slumber & jump out of my skin. I would mostly scream in panic and she would take it as me being rude to her... it led to an unpleasant interaction. I requested her a few times and explained how her sudden banging the door made me extremely uncomfortable she basically never understood. As a result, even at the age of 34 I don't sleep too well, I wake up with the slightest sounds...with a jolt anticipating a terrible pounding at the door. I also realised that I get extremely angry and jump into a fight reaction when/if someone does harshly knocks the door, Just sharing this here is making me feel some bit of peace, was looking for techniques to get rid of this trigger. This is helpful.

When you go to lay down, breathe in 4 counts, and breathe out 8. It will slow your heart rate down and calm your mind. Also remove that past from your mind. The longer you continue to allow this feeling to control you, you will never have growth. You ARE GOOD ENOUGH ! RIDICULOUSNESS IS REQUIRED !!!

this helps a lot.because I do get lost most of the time.when I go back home to visit family that's what triggers me most.my dad past away 15 yrs now and that's what formed my PTSD I believe.

Than you so much for this video. My emotional trigger is in nature auditory. When I was young, my father liked to scare me with his scary sounds of coughing. He always did it when all other sounds disappear. He always needed intentionally to break the calmness and silence. The joy for him was I guess to bring attention to himself. That became my emotional trigger, and even today, I’m 33, when I hear him cough, I know that he does it cause he knows for 100% that he will evoke fear in me and emotional response. He is raised by an alcoholic, and automatically the chaos for him is normal; he recreate it in order to feel ‘at home’. I just don’t know what to do with it. I guess I should face it but I don’t know how. Every time I told him about it, he got only an adrenaline fix and kept doing it making me more crazy. He does not recognize his behavior and he just go autopilot. I’m dreaming the day when I’ll leave this house.

Thanks for sharing your story, did you find an effective way to deal with it

What are emotional triggers and how can we manage them? Psychiatrist Frank Ochberg explains the concept of emotional and psychological triggers and how veterans, victims of crime and sexual assault can manage their traumatic stress symptoms.

Very refreshing, non-jargon discussion of managing 'trouble spots'

It’s a smell and person reminds u of a person that hurt u in the past. It can be the little of things it comes out of nowhere. U see strangers starting when u go start frickin out but there not in your memory. It’s not your fault that you can’t control your environment. It completely change my life and I isolate so nobody can judge my outburst’s. I am heading for a healthy recovery. Most days r to hard to get out from bed. Until you lived it and living to avoid it. It’s hell no deserve it. Sending hugs to all who may be hurting in silence

Wonderful video, one of the most helpful I've found on dealing with trauma triggers. Thank you

Having grown up a questioning youth but having someone your age ask me to do things that we're not appropriate. Thank you for the website or even explaining why I keep remembering. For the longest time I hadn't remembered those your age.

"Think thoughts that are self enhancing" Love that thought! Thank you Dr Ochberg (love your eyes ;P) .

thank you for this video

Wow. This was very soothing and very helpful. Thank you

Excellent points:) I have to remember that it's just my body reacting. Thanks for the excellent vids on your channel.

This is so good. Thank you.

I like this chap, and channel. But I was wondering how can you remind yourself that you have friends and others who care about you, if you actually don't? Does it mean you should pretend to yourself? If you are fundementally unlovable, you don't matter to anyone, and therefore don't actually have any friends. My experience indicates that convincing myself that someone cares about me, has always been a mistake. Sorry if that sounds cynical.

I imagine myself as a kid, sitting alone, sad, rejected, uncared for, and then I watch myself as I am now go up to the kid, hug them, and tell the kid, "I love you, I will look after you, you are enough, and you deserve the best, and I will work hard to give this to you" it helps me. Ultimately, our relationship with ourselves and our inner life is just as valuable.

one thing I feel now is that no one else I encounter is the true one who was foul, they're just reminders, & I guess I can remember to be nothing like the negative of that time that is long gone & dust. a mere shadow to fly through...

I'm here I'm now I'm safe.

I watched eckhart tolll video about emotional triggers and he mails IT: be in the present , be aware of the trigger . When you schine the light of your consciousness on IT IT loses control over your body and slowly fades . A lot of triggers Stay with you your entire life but they are merely guests , they don't decide your reactions to the world.

Just so you know, Eckhart Tolle is in the occult. He literally thinks he's God. Tolle is poison, I use to listen to him a lot. We aren't Gods. We're the creation, not the Creator. Don't go that way. It leads to ruin, delusion & ultimately spiritual death. The Dead Sea Scrolls were carbon 14 tested & proven to have been written 1,000 years BEFORE Christ. In them is the book of Isaiah, who gave us hundreds upon hundreds of detailed, precise, down to the day, time, event, action, reaction, prophecies about Jesus... Of which, Jesus FULFILLED OVER 300+... PROVING beyond a reasonable doubt (to this MENSA tested genius) that Jesus IS God, always was & the only one who is or ever will be - just like the prophet Isaiah said. And over 500 people AT ONCE saw Jesus resurrected from the dead in the flesh 3 days after watching Him be tortured to death & watch His body ROT in a tomb.... And they were tortured to death in the Colliseum in Rome for refusing to deny that they saw Him as a group all at once with their own two eyes & that He IS GOD. All they had to do was say they never saw it happen & they were offered their choice to live. They ALL rejected to deny they saw Him & that Jesus is God. So, the were killed in the Colliseum (which stands there to this day, along with the historical records of their deaths) Believe that & trust in Him, you are given instantly eternal everlasting life & are His in Heaven forever - free gift of His love as God. Once saved, always saved no matter what. God bless.

Everything is a fucking trigger, you have to understand. Lawn mowers are triggers, anyone doing work outside is a trigger, dogs are a trigger, people in general are triggers, looking at myself, thinking about myself, another trigger, sleeping is another trigger. need I go on?

Evil Tree if EVERYTHING is a trigger- it’s probably not PTSD. Perhaps a mood or anxiety disorder.

OMG that's some freaking sick animal torture and I'm genuinely triggered 😢

I don't like the word trigger - bombs and guns have triggers, bad things that kill and explode and need to be given a wide berth have triggers. Most of the time I'm triggered you wouldn't even know it, I'm slapping on the happy face, withdrawing into the fantasy or simply removing myself from the scene. I prefer some form of words along the lines of plate tectonics - faults is a bit too 'your fault' - rift suggests something minor - quakes is good - tectonics covers the spectrum of reaction from eruption to quake to tremor. And while a trigger is an instant thing, tectonics is every present, sometimes cannot be felt but at work under your feet all the same.

An older way of in thinking in public.
