Very true...and it's just a vicious cycle...😓🙏

This answers a lot of questions I’ve had about why I don’t appreciate being touched by acquaintances. I tell people that I’m not a huggy person so please don’t hug me and definitely don’t sneak up on me. I wish there were a way to tell people that I’m not a huggy person without being off-putting. I feel like people get offended if you don’t want a hug from them. I’m probably overly apologetic about it.

I have been through this. To the point I shut down and quit eating. Nearly starved terminally. I’m recovering but I had lost everything including my ability to think. Thanks for the video.

It is really annoying that you cannot turn off the subtitles. As a deeply traumatized person who is continuously looking for threats they are really disruptive. I try to listen, but then I also have to read the text and stop looking at the man’s face who could be a threat…

Religion can also become shaming by high demand religious standards. If you fail to measure up in their eyes you can find yourself being traumatized by judgement and rejection. Then it becomes spiritual abuse. It’s a terrible net to be caught in. It is a double edged sword.

Thorough content

So true! 👏

You’ve inspired me to start a yoga for CPTSD/PTSD channel. Thank you 🙏

Are all psychotherapists in the US calling patients "clients"..?

Is EMDR possible for a blind person like me?

I had a sleep study done because I was not sleeping much and when I was sleeping I wasn’t able to get into REM sleep properly. Apparently my heart rate got so high the doctors were concerned so put me on Prazosin (blood pressure medication) before going to bed. I’m still on them and I still get night mares but rarely have night terrors anymore. That helped a lot but I found EMDR to be the main thing that helped lessen the nightmares

That the organization I worked for said they believed in Cree natural law and wellness. BS. Clients were re-traumatized. Lateral violence. A toxic workplace. I heard deeply disturbing stories told from the grandchildren of residential school survivors. There was no healthy coping strategies given to staff or any support. My manager targeted me immediately but it took months for me to realize that. It's not safe when organizations hire sick psychopaths for managers. our clients are so vulnerable. My doctor put me on medical leave. I'm healing. I can't imagine how much good our team could have accomplished if we had a healthy manager. Most of us there were genuine and safe. Sucks.

Yep ... all of the above.🌹

Just stumbled upon this video. I am an MSW working towards my LCSW and I love your presentation of material! I will be watching more of you:) There is sooooo much to choose from when considering framework, modalities, etc. and this approach suits me very well and I can easily see how I can apply these stages to all of my work. Thank you!

Thank , Dr. I'm pleased and thankful for your wonderful presentation,thank you so much , I'm interested to be social work

This is the first time I’ve heard someone speak about the origin of EMDR. Very interesting, and it makes sense to me now, how this technique works so well.

Thanks! Such a good overwiev. 🙏🏼😊

Thank you for explaining this so nicely. I pray the NHS in the UK offer this as at the moment their only process is to offer CBT for CPTSD and PTSD. 🙏

I am wondering if I should even need to go into those traumas? I have been in CBT/DBT for years and will continue. I believe in treating the mind with such equal care as the body. I have repressed memories that I know how they started, but the memories just cut off. These do not affect me at all in my life and I’m not sure I want to awaken these. I am very functional in life and happy most days. I do have more low days in the winter season. I do have some anxiety and PTSD tied to my partner and sometimes our communication suffers. I have a hard time handling his apprehension as he questions me and his lack of empathy. Not sure if it’s “my trauma from a previous relationship” or really something outside myself coming from him.

I'm a retired clinical psychologist. Retired before this was developed. Sounds interesting. Has some hypnotherapy vibes...

You’re the Bob Barker of Trauma Ed videos 😂 The best ending (and great intervention, thank you!) to an intense topic, and inadvertently promoting better-dog parenting 👍🏽

Yeah but i hate thanking people it is so awkward and also I have done ones before that the people didn't appreciate and that makes me more depressed

Just woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night... 🤕 It was a nightmare about one of my abusers. A violent and bloody nightmare, he was harming people in a physical way!

How rude! (an awakening this is.) I've felt it, but in the background it until moments ago. I was searching "guilt for self care" and kept getting results for self hate. If it is rude, it's consistent with the events and experiences that brought me here.

Very informative! Quite helpful in better understanding this. As well as what can be done with occurances, very hard to find info like this! Thanks!!

This is awesome. I’m a new therapist and am currently getting credentialed in EMDR. I want to know all the nuances of this treatment because I want to be the best resource for my clients.

As always...good vid!!

Great video! Super useful for anyone starting out in this field or thinking about it

I can relate to this all too well, thanks for the great content, Dr Scott❤️.

Interesting and helpful information - I'm about to start a course of EMDR

Who can afford years of therapy?

Can u make video on limerence

Thank you for these informative videos! Great tool as an EMDRIA consultant-in-training:)

I would like to talk to you.

Sounds good

If u're gonna use an acronym on the internet.....

I just had a 2nd appointment and she stated EMDR on the 2nd meeting. When I asked about the stages she said a therapist does not necessarily use all the stages or use them in order. anyone have any feedback on this? I watched videos to educate myself and I also asked her about herself stating that trust is one thing I struggle with and it was like pulling teeth. She just wants to jump right in to emdr and everything that I have learned regarding this process....this is not good????? I

Starting my MSW program soon. Thank you for this in-depth introduction to the values of the field. Even more excited to get started!

Do you think the use of EMDR can help people decrease their need for medications that help with flashbacks, nightmares etc? Ie. prazosin. I know you’re not a psychiatrist but would be interested to hear your thoughts. 🙏🏻

thanks!

I believe the most important system for trauma informed care where safety is paramount, and where significant growth is possible, is the FAMILY.

I’m learning here that vicarious/secondary trauma is what I’m experiencing. My young adult child is a direct victim of trauma, some irreparable, and I am now his caregiver. While I’d like to think that I possess a post-trauma growth mindset and that my love will give me the strength necessary to navigate the waters, I can have difficulty negotiating triggers. It takes everything in me to stay positive and to manage well the care my child needs. I want to do more but admittedly, I’m exhausted. I give myself grace but can’t help feeling like I’m failing my child’s optimum recovery.

Thanks again Dr Scott! I really appreciate how you explained with a variety of examples for clarity; speaking with someone we've had a conflict with, our inner child, our future self, higher power. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

Perhaps the easiest way to differentiate the two professions is just to say that a psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialised in mental health.

Thank you for uploading these thoughtful and informative videos. I’ll try coping methods. 😊

This hits deep in the heart.

The way you explain trauma and loss and how connection is key for facilitating healing is very helpful.

Yeah I have nightmares and Day dreams and night dreams and evening dreams so I have good and bad days

Switching camera angles is very disruptive in this video. Its too fast and clunky. Better not to play with editting, just do a straight video to camera.
