Thank you 🙏 ❤ love your calming presence
Yes ! 🙌 I always say acceptance is something I can manage. Not forgiveness.
We're glad this resonated with you!
Love your soothing voice. Great videos.
Thank you so much!
Thank you. So true 💕
You are so welcome
Run from the crazy doctors
Well, everyone should be discerning in their choices of healthcare providers. I find many of the best doctors are trauma-informed and make referrals to therapists and other providers who offer effective therapies and treatments for trauma.
Trauma from the church _ Jesus got this_ forgive and let the pets out.
I'm glad you found a way to forgive, @tmking7483, and I hope life is feeling lighter for you.
Thank you this helps me feel more grounded.
I'm so glad, @caramelunicorn8023!
🙏❤️
You're welcome, @franzi6823
I felt heavy and then some panic
This is information from your nervous system. Finding an SE practitioner could be helpful with shifting some of those patterns. Here's the directory: directory.traumahealing.org/
Great information! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thank you for this clear explanation. You have no idea how grateful I am to hear exactly why I have been sick with CFS, Fibromyalgia, and now Long covid too. I am 55 and have been sick since I was 18. I always knew it was from trauma but I didn't really understand why. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome, @kathyforeman5603. I'm glad it was helpful to you.
Thank you 🌸
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you 🌸
You’re welcome 😊
I thought 5 techniques were supposed to be shown. I knew this technique before, it's the only one i got shown for a whole year, since i am in somatic experience therapy. Is that all there is?
Hi @erobird3403. I'm sorry to have caused frustration. The video is the first in a series, so the 5 techniques got sprinkled through several videos. If you go to the video section of our channel, the videos right around this one has additional techniques.
thanks for this. I have 8/10 on ACE and have adrenal gland disease. I kind of think it’s linked
Yes, I would agree @sbren777 - there's a good chance it is linked. Somatic Experiencing might be helpful. You can find a practitioner here: directory.traumahealing.org/
I couldnt find a Plesant thing to look at - i Got brougt back to My childhood Home and i feel very uncomfortable now
I'm sorry that happened, @milleabel. Might I suggest trying noticing one sensory aspect of something that is pleasant to you: the smell of fresh baked bread, the sound of your favorite piece of music, the tactile feel of water moving on your skin when you're swimming, the taste of a piece of fine dark chocolate, etc. Savor the memory of the experience for just a few seconds. Don't allow yourself to go into the full memory - just stay with the chosen sensory aspect. Do this exercise over time - building the time by a bit each time. Notice what happens in your body as you savor the sensory experience. I hope this helps!
Wow, love this!
Great! Glad you like it.
Thanks, @kjbrocky!
Thank you a lot! It's very grounding and I felt more "alive"! 🙏
Wonderful!
You're so welcome, @hazansahnaoglu!
Wow was not anticipating where you were going with this. I’ve never felt peace around that part of my trauma before or felt like I was viewing it from the outside. Every other time I’ve remembered it, I was trapped in it. Thank you for this. I’m looking forward to trying this with other memories. ❤
I'm so glad it was helpful, @TakeMeToYourLida!
That's fantastic, @TakeMeToYourLida! Thanks for letting us know.
thank you.
You're welcome!
My pleasure, @melanietempleton2605.
Thanks...very grounding and helpful. I am actually a percher especially when I sit and eat..so glad you made me aware of that..
Glad it was helpful!
only 36 days??
Not sure what that means?
thank you for saying go as low as your register allows - that's been the missing part for me. did this, can't stop yawning! yay
Thanks for your patience with my reply. I suggest doing the Voo sound in a limited way (e.g. just once daily) to see if that can help with the yawning. You might also invite your system not to yawn to see what might emerge instead. If the yawning persists, I recommend working with an SE practitioner to uncouple the yawning from this gentle stimulation to allow what is undercoupled to emerge to be renegotiated.
@@lifecarewellness-IL thank you for replying I thought yawning was good? engaging parasympathetic mode? or are you saying there's more stuff underlining it? I'm actually in a very bad state my CNS started to fail about 5 months ago it was catastrophic. system hasn't been the same since. I am on strong meds to be able to sleep. body been in flight fight mode too long
You are awesome! Thank you!
Happy to help!
Good luck on your move, b safe.
❤
was amazing thank u
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s like blowing a dijarudu horn….pretty cool, it’s like pushing the exhale
Glad you connected with this.
creative but very profound effect of this technique, now we are talking, I like this much, thank you
Glad you like it!
Thank you for reaffirming this self hug for me because I occasionally practice it, now I will practice it more regularly for now I know I don’t have to wait for hugs that may not be coming anytime soon😂
I'm glad it's helpful to you!
I noticed how I am not allowing the pleasant experience to support me in the moment; I am so fast forward😂…too planned out, don’t like the hidden tension in my body and diaphragm, thank you…I am aware
First I want to acknowledge your calm demeanor delivering your topic. I’ve viewed a couple of your videos and you remain consistent. Thank you. This is appreciated because I’m in a hyper state of fear not knowing what’s wrong with me. Other videos playing music background with exuberant personality or just exuberant personalities trigger more discomfort for me. I have been searching for tools to help me heal from my trauma from both parents. Paternal molestation. Maternal narcissistic abuse. Maternal narcissistic ran through 2020 when she finally died at 96. I’m 71. Been under the care of a psychiatrist for 30 years with medication management that doesn’t serve me anymore. Brain surgery in 2018 to remove a benign tumor front right temporal lobe. 3 years ago I started weaning from klonopin 2mg - currently at .5mg. Anxiety has increased. Psychiatrist suggested going back to dosage to reduce anxiety and fear. I replied,no. I worked too hard to get to .5mg. I’m weaning without direction or clear information about benzodiazepine harm. I had my 4th Moderna shot. My Hashimotos was not responding to medication management. A pulmonologist put me on prednisone for a month to jump start my depleted energy level. I switched up my 2 mile bike ride to 12 mile and my insomnia got worse. Then chronic fatigue set in and I’m bed bound I haven’t been able to find any medical help to unravel these variables that bring me to my current debilitating shutdown. What is it? MECFS MONDERNA vaccine injury Benzodiazepine weaning I have the following doctors Primary Endocrinologist Pulmonologist Cardiologist Psychiatrist No answers to what I just wrote. How do I find support?
I had a family practice suggest this & it toned down a extreme panic attack to the point i could at least think to get myantianxiety med & my words not explaining well This does help you get a grasp so you can think a bit....
My anxiety extreme so can't hold breath & not deep but gotta start somewhere I'm miserable, cortisol been flowing from a main line water break for ??12 years & it's eating me alive
The only thing we can do, @fxrivrgirl, is start where we are. When I started doing the Voo sound, I could only go for a very short time because of low lung capacity, and I could only feel the vibrations down to my upper chest. My long capacity still could use some work, but I can feel the Voo vibrations down to my pelvic floor now. So a little practice - even one time - every day could move you in the right direction.
So, practically, how we do that? Focusing on one spot or the breath or what?:thnx
there are several ways to meditate: focus on an image, on a word or mantra, on a sound, on a breath and other. I think you'd get more understanding and clarity through other videos with me on meditation.
Nice reminder.
Hi when I use Peter Levine's version for sound + mouth open and close. Then multiple vibrational sounds are created that vibrate from belly to throat. I find myself gagging and sometimes throwing up. Does this mean that the energy is released?
Peter Levine theorized that completing incomplete self-protective responses can discharge fight/flight arousal energy trapped in the nervous system. Whether or not that is happening as a result of you using the Voo sound is not something I can ascertain. I'd encourage you, @piekie1986, to work with a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner who could help you work this through - and perhaps titrate the experience so it's a little more manageable. Search the practitioner directory at traumahealing.org.
When I thought about the memory, I felt tears coming up.
Observing memories and noticing the body's response without judgment can be powerful as long as one remains present. If being with the memory is too much, titrating the experience - noticing just a part of it at a time, for example - can be an effective way to experience and work through memories.
I’m frightened of what’s in front of me but know I have to face it. I hate being a “Pollyanna”
Perhaps titration can help @greyline1012. What's the smallest piece of what's in front of you that you'd be open to holding in your hand at one time? Maybe a drop of what's in front of you? As you hold it (imaginally) in your hand, notice what it's like - what it looks like, what it feels like, what emotion comes up as you hold it, what impulse your body has as you hold it. Again - not the entirety of what's in front of you - just this one drop of it. As you take time with it - and follow what your body wants - then come back for another small amount (maybe 2 drops this time) and do the same process. You'll notice your capacity to be with the feared thing will grow - usually quite quickly.
Nothing was pleasant in the environment
In a situation like that, something you can do is think of a sensory slice of a pleasant memory (e.g. the feel of the water on your skin when you're swimming, the aroma of warm chocolate chip cookies, the feel of the dirt when you're gardening, etc.). Not the entire memory - just one pleasant sensory slice. I hope that helps @alejandraduque4061!
I love your teaching and coaching us to heal and feel well , thank you ❤
You are so welcome @sj2024sj.
Tried this last night before bed best relaxation ever ,had a wonderful sleep anxiety I usually get completely gone only did it 3times amazed.
I'm so glad @annrominger7529!
That was the best explanation of the voo sound I have heard. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! This may work for me! 😃🙏💕
You’re welcome 😊
These short videos are great. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
What trainings would you recommend to further SE touch? What books or resources did you find helpful? I've taken my SE Advance II. I'm shy of a few consult hrs. to get my SEP. Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to your series of videos.
Thanks for your patience with my reply @HealingRootsCounselingCLE. I highly recommend Kathy Kain's Touch Skills for Therapists as a first step. That will greatly enhance your knowledge of the body and touch. Where you go after that with touch depends on your goal. If you simply want to learn more about how to work with various systems and organs of the body, Dave Berger's BASE training would be an excellent next step. Dave is a PT by training and what you learn about reading the body, including gait, and what the body is "saying" in metaphor is really helpful. If your interest is attachment and working with early developmental trauma I recommend any (or all!) of the following. Somatic Resilience & Regulation (SRR) taught by Kathy Kain and Steve Terrell is very good. Steve Terrell also has his own training, Transforming the Experience-Based Brain (TEB) that expands on SRR ideas and also includes working with Primitive Reflexes. Aileen LaPierre's NeuroAffective Touch is also excellent and covers some things that SRR and TEB does not. I hope that's helpful!
Thankyou i am feeling triggered today and going through menapause symptoms i found this helpful to calm down as well as lavender 🪻 infused herbal tea and reading.
I tried both the vooo sound and the om sound. First I felt scared taking out the vooo sound. But then I made the om sound and then the vooo sound. After which I let out a sigh of relief. Both sounds have different effect . Thank you for sharing this 🙏
I love how you experimented, @themagicalyogi2073. You're correct - different sounds have different effects in the body. I believe the yoga tradition has much more information on this.
Yes, Deepak and Peter had a chat about it and they agreed that voo and om are very different sounds 💫
Thank you
You're welcome!
