It was both touching and elucidating to hear Ron's "backstory." It provides a very personal context to his lifelong interest and major contributions to the study of the psychology of men.

Nice interview of a special and impactful person

Thank you so much for this. It was very helpful. I was diagnosed with BPD in the early 1980's but only learned my diagnosis in 2014. It changed everything. It was such a relief to know what was wrong with me. It meant I could inform and help myself. Very empowering. I learned everything I could about BPD. I have been in psychotherapy most of my life. I have managed to carve a life out for myself at 65 years of age. Your talk was incredibly enlightening for me. Your understanding and empathy for sufferers touched me deeply. Not many people understand us or the diagnosis . Thank you again. I am from London. I am a woman. ❤

Excellent video!!!

Great to hear 4 smart people.

Borderlines are natures counterbalance against psychopaths. Borderlines have aggression toward psychopaths. Moral vs amoral. We have to have a percent of the population borderline and psychopathic. Moral police officer vs callous unemotional risk taker. And the one that the borderline thinks is all bad probably is bad. It’s like a sniffer dog - if a borderline is rattled by someone let that be a red flag to use caution around them. It’s like if my dog doesn’t like you then you are bad news, if my borderline doesnt like you then you are bad news

So nice to hear more about how you work Jennifer!

33:00 beautifully put, both the introspection and validation. Would be cool if the algorithm recognized commentor discernment from any demonstrated record as a way of scoring you guys for authenticity and integrity. That's a specific relative infrequency machine learning will never identify with as much precision otherwise. Pseudosentience can evade liability but what sentient intelligence would seek another party's profit at the expense of yet a third? To deploy envy hunger and greed in service of another sounds like AI with DPD LMFAO. AI can stimulate our base emotions but it can only try to predict our emotional responses to one another based on emotionless predictive analysis of our data. Which has been the reason for gathering it all. AI isn't even solving crimes. It's just advertising and undermining intellectual property. All of which is a reflection of its operators 🤢 (who, unlike its engineers, aren't bright enough to reason beyond the psychosis of thinking that shit's gonna become conscious--AND THINK LIKE THEM 🙄)🤯

They just refer you out.

My gosh Where were all you Practitioners when I needed help unraveling my anxiety neurosis? I'm delighted that you folks are helping your profession by doing these podcasts

Great video. Found it by searching for the title. Best video from GMT20220317 so far

50:00 - 51:00 mins you guys are talking about the concepts of multifinality and equifinality in terms of differential outcomes/trajectories in the face of ACE's.

Professor Yeomans answers were very insighftful.

This is the best explanation of BPD complications that I've ever seen or read. I wish it was available to more people. It turns a lot of confusion into understanding. Thank you for posting this!! Yeomans is brilliant.

I can’t relate to this lady’s vocabulary at all. It’s fake/forced and unnatural.

What's the point of uploading such video if you can't title it properly?

This is very interesting. Esp since media and tech often has financial investment in polarization of discourse (and exploiting associated emotions/behaviors) and w tech triggering very specific systems of rewards, impulsivity, etc, I would’ve looked at these things as a product of the world collectively being maybe more traumatized or self-focused (personality leanings influencing tech & media), but everything really is so dynamic and circular.. almost like giving a system energy just sets off a cycle of energy that feeds itself. Also, how much of personality is relational/situational and why and when does that or should that matter?

Please change video title

I am very sorry but this is why CBT and DBT are enormously destructive! To tell a patient what is and is not, what you think they are feeling or to concretize it by a systematically slow or rapid fire of therapist driven descriptives unwittingly or unconsciously indivisibly silences their voice. It has the resplendent effect however productive or salubrious it may appear on the surface to unconsciously engender autonomic feelings of defensiveness and shame. To be in a position of telling the patient however insightful, well-intentioned and "productive" it may seem removes the patient from the room! The apparent "cognitive gains" are unfortunately too often at the expense of an increased hyper-aroused defensive or hypoactive withdrawal shutdown/dissociative autonomic nervous system. Simply, it is neither respectful nor therapeutic and does not reach the level of the body that is to say, beneath rational executive functioning or prefrontal cortex and the domain of subcortical implicit-procedural memory (where for example, trauma is stored). It ignores the subcortical limbic autonomic nervous system and tends to result in a quite impressive (though often unnoticeable cognitive dissonance. Descriptive analysis, rationalization and control ignores both symbolic encoding/meaning-making and individuation (the patient's story) his/her neuroanatomy and neurophysiology (autonomic nervous system, ventral and dorsal vagus complex) which, shall we say, is a much more tender, complex and nuanced story! Left brain rationalizations and accompanied visualizations while indeed can be helpful at moments actually increase levels of shame and repression. As far as, "Theory of Mind" it is neuroceptively registering, accessing and processing facial and somatic cues beneath the words (this involves the superior temporal sulcus, temporal-partial junction and insular/interoception).

Hello, I love that I stumbled across this page from the video with Frank Yeoman. I have ptsd (complex, from childhood) and ADHD. Something I wanted to try to help answer was the part where there was a question of "why" neglect seems more painful than physical abuse. I feel like the psychological distress behind any trauma is worse than the actual event(s) that caused the trauma. When we were sexually abused as children, our brain had a natural way of processing it. (Falling into protector roles of other siblings, etc. or flashbacks and associating shame with certain features of our experience, such as the way the abuser talked to us during the event or something they did that is now a trigger/turn-off for us, or even a turn-on in a fantasy that turns into a kink or continued cycle of abuse for some victims.) There are probably many more examples, but there seems to be trends in our brain where some people bury memories and are in flight response struggling with escapism.. or reliving it and being aggressive or low in self esteem, etc. With neglect, there are no mechanisms that help us with that, beyond compassion and understanding. Awareness of neglect plays a big role. Did the neglectful parent work too much? Did the neglectful parent have enough awareness to know the child's need to fulfill it? Did the child know what need they had that they needed met in that moment or was it a realization later on? There are no answers to those "why" questions and there are no (for lack of a better word) "jumpstart" mechanisms that kick in when we describe where neglect may have occurred. We only understand that there is no reset button. It's harder to forgive ourselves for not realizing our needs, although that might be an unrealistic expectation of ourselves) and just seems like a mountain we can't climb. I don't know if this TH-cam channel belongs to someone in this video, but it would be nice to contribute to the conversation as a suffering person who's not a regular patient of these therapists! (No unintentional biases applicable to this data) If you made it this far reading, thank you for your time!

Please change the title of the video. State the name of interviewee

This is a great interview. I just wanted to offer a suggestion so that more people might watch it. Maybe you could change the title to something more descriptive, like "Frank Yeomans discusses personality disorders and splitting." The GMT20220317 and recording size could be information that is stored behind the scenes. Thank you.

Interesting, thanks for sharing

interesting video ✅

If you want people to find these, I think renaming the video titles would help a lot. Still, great interview and interesting premise for a channel, thank you for these.

😥 P*R*O*M*O*S*M!!
