Ive had sypmtoms for 16 yearsish now, and im working on myself everyday, but ive come to realize that im scared of actually getting back to normal again because i cant really remember what that is like. How do i get passed this?
Have you considered EMDR therapy? I had crippling PTSD for over a decade and that was finally the thing that cracked it. Was finally able to process my traumas and felt peace for the first time in years. I went from non-functioning to being a high performer in work and school in a matter of months. Saved my life!
@bmav007 just looked that up, that happens all the time while i play video games lol. I guess ill just keep truckin along lol, thanks for the suggestion.
❤
This was so accurate ... i am crying right now
Praise God!

Wow ❤ thank you for sharing
It’s because of your aura and your ability to understand people on a personal level rather than some generic KZreadr guide. I felt the same from the first video years ago which was actually one of the first you ever did I think😅Meeting you singlehandedly changed my life and got me out a deep 7 year dissociation battle. I thank you for everything your course and videos made me 100% free with consistent hard work over time. I’ve been free for years now loving life and achieving things I never thought I’d be able to whilst I was struggling with dpdr. Thank you again Jordan 👍
Therapy has ALWAYS made me worse. Rehashing old wounds is like ripping off a scab and starting to bl33d anew...
...and what if we have crossed over from freeze into literal shutdown? I have no anxiety or emotions anymore. Which is unheard of because i had over strong emotions and serious social anxiety.
Why do symptoms change?
Oh God! Thank you so much, Jordan! I guess it’s the first time I deeply feel reassured and validated and a bit more calm inside my stomach (there is always an anxiety pain in it almost all the time that I feel so so exhausted 😭). It’s almost a decade since I am so hard trying to find the answer to “what is fckng wrong with me!!!???” And of course I came to ADHD and autism thing, studied it deeply, and than came to cPTSD and now all those little puzzles are clicking in. But the severity of my DPDR was the last one unsolved. And yeah, I knew it was the part of cPTSD but as you said I felt no hope it gonna stop one day. I was preparing myself to live with it though it is so debilitating… ok, I guess I have lost the train of thoughts. But I want to add that those “science behind this” points have made your video so much more interesting and valuable (for someone super interested in how our brains work). Thank you so much! ❤
Well crap, that sucks. Thank you. I guess I do have to change
Does anyone relate to how weak I feel? The feeling of my sole constantly being pulled out of my body? Nothing looks real. i don’t feel anything. I can barely see. I can’t relax. Walking is uncomfortable af. Like my bones hurt when I walk. Everything is uncomfortable af. Along with all the other simptoms people describe. I don’t know what this guy experienced but mine seems to be way worse. I couldn’t drive if I wanted to like this.
This also reflects how abuse lasts longer if the person is isolated.
Feel like I just took a Xanax... So calm and relaxed... my body and mind feel so peaceful... I loved this and will keep doing it every day. Thank you so much for this gift... God bless you
To me that is called PTSD. You have confirmed why I know you are right!
Everybody has a different path. I definitely needed to revisit my past before being able to reconcile with my present and heal. And feel safe again.
Talking about my trauma with bad therapists essentially retraumatised me because I had to reexperience those things. I now work with a trauma informed therapist who has been way more helpful without me needing to recount a thing.
Almost 16 years after I found out about my wife’s infidelity that went on for almost two years. I have such bad ptsd from it. Until recently I had no idea what was wrong with me. But now I know. It’s not me. It’s the trauma she inflicted on me for almost two years while covering up her affair. I trusted and loved her so much I believed it was me. Only to find out it was her all along trying to cover her tracks.
I was happy too.
ive been in a trauma, dissociated state since I was a child and my brain has felt offline since I was about 10. Do you think this will impact my ability to function normally once I get out of a trauma state? Im just scared because my brain didnt get to develop normally because of trauma. Thanks!
But, how do we avoid it from happening again? How can we learn to set boundaries and detect would be abusers.
It's part of the process. It didn't release the trauma from childhood for me, but it gave me a space to feel safe. Now I need to feel it physically, and I'm ready. Trauma is a tapestry that we need to evolve through.
I went into freeze (i called it petrified) anytime a timed test or something came up in school. I mean in school all tests are timed i knew the material i just petrified the moment i felt how thick the test was.
Wow you have no idea how important this was to hear!Thank you!
Amazing information! I am 50 yrs old and never sought therapy for my anger issues. I am now working with a therapist who has explained betrayal trauma and many issues in my life make much more sense. Thanks for sharing this information its very informative.
Thank you. I was in a freeze response like this taking a hard math class this semester, I couldn’t break through it enough to do my work and tests better. I kind of went through something similar that made me this way twenty forking years ago with the same people. The abusers don’t change no matter how much we think we need them to. I bet I will do better in the next class even though it’s harder. I won’t be so hard on myself anymore when this happens. It isn’t my fault and whether my instructors get it or not is not my problem. I will land a good career eventually regardless.
I need help with this man
Yes...right. The glimpses happen in layers, which will eventually bring you to believe you are making progress. And you are! Yes, brain along with awful feelings are impossible nuts to crack...they want feelings all better. .
LOVE
Yes! My mom says I survived. I don't feel that way. I feel like I died but my body stayed alive.
100% correct. This is very difficult in socally situations or just being in an enviroment with people. Especially if you need to use your brain
I was in an abusive relationships and I got to the point that I had a lot of the symptoms od ADHD. Is that part of what you are talking about?
You know how your dog just "knows" you need love? Or your cat pins you down and makes muffins on you and then lays on you and purrs, rumbling your insides in the process? Yeah, theyre coming to coregulate with you. ❤ If you dont have the human connection, a pet can be a great way to meet that human need- even if its going to the shelter and walking the dogs as a volunteer- both will benefit and a safe place to be loving is a game changer, when isolation is your best friend, ya know? I dont say this to avoid human interactions, but to get closer to those relationships in the future, but in a comforted, secure place of interaction, and not from a place of desperate hunger for human contact or damaged perspective.
Having a name for it is such an empowering thing! Then it's easier to learn about, and from there is a path to coping. Sounds like you've been going through hell, but you've got this!
You are teaching very easy clear way
Glad you think so!
Well... HOW do you adress this? Psychologists and psychiatrists always say that there's ways to get rid of e.g. an anxiety disorder, but they never really tell you what to do about it...
Holy shit, 20 attacks in a DAY!? After I've had an anxiety attack I usually end up just going to bed because I'm so mentally drained, and the times where I've gotten them twice the same day I'm functionally dead for the rest of the week.
It’s sooo many. I probably had half a dozen a day after my dad died. My lifelong cannabis habit turned on me at that EXACT moment and made it 1000X worse
My first panic attack I called 911 because I thought I was having a stroke 😂 ambulance came, EMTs helped me calm down and had a friend take me home. I still get them, but never to that same scale because now I can tell my brain it’s a panic attack and it wont last forever.
I am a scapegoat in my narcissistic family dysfunctional system and I’m rejected shamed and blamed and gaslighted and religious trauma
There is no threat now but the past pain still exists in the body doesnt it?So the pain is the threat.
Do you have any tips on dealing with DPDR/stress when stressful life events do keep happening? It always seems like I solve one problem only for several more problems to get added, which only makes the symptoms worse. It’s been a vicious and ongoing cycle for the past several years
I’ve been traumatized by betrayal. A friend of mine passed away last year. I was there for her boyfriend through the grieving process. He and I started hanging out. One night, last year, we were hanging out. His behavior was a bit out of line. He apologized for it, and it didn’t bother me. Months later, he put feelers out with another woman. It still didn’t bother me until September of last year. He and this woman got a hotel room for the weekend. I was like… How can you do something like that after you did what you did today me?
What if it's CONSTANT. and even using regulation techniques known to work as a child are no longer working, or if the patient don't get enough privacy to ever do them so theyre "not safe" to ever wind down, what would a person do?
Hi I just found this content, I'm very intrested in digging deeper. I feel out of my body almost every day. I feel like taking my life over it.
My son was in a similar position. He was happy to be diagnosed. He knew it wasn’t his heart and he wasn’t going to die!
How do you stop them
In the moment, for me I put a finger to my pulse and try to take deep breaths to help stabilize my heartbeat. If you're in a situation where you start to feel the signs that a panic or anxiety attack is about to happen: for me I've been lucky enough to be in an environment where telling the people around me that I'm about to have an anxiety attack is met with understanding and patience. But you might not be so lucky... As for tell tale signs to look out for, the biggest sign for me is that I will start to feel like my teeth are vibrating right before I have an anxiety attack. Symptoms vary from person to person, but it's the most clear cut sign to look out for.
These months have been flying by - that tells me something.
What do you mean?
My body doesn’t even feel the weather anymore, everyone was freezing and I feel fine without a jacket. I can’t identify hunger too. A cut and a punch doesn’t feel much (I cook and practice body combat fyi). I have clear goals and excel work wise. I’m not happy nor sad, just emotionally empty.
