  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มี.ค. 2021
  • Mayim explains the neurobiology of trauma and reveals her own experience working to overcome a traumatic event. Rick details the ground-breaking research his lab is doing using MDMA to treat PTSD. Rick and Mayim discuss everything from the ancient cultural origins of psychedelics and explore the "unified mystical experience of oneness" that is often brought on through the use of this medicine. Rick explains how MDMA can help free people who are stuck in a fight-or-flight response by calming their overactive amygdala while reconnecting them to disconnected memories. Jonathan volunteers Mayim for Rick's next study to get help with her on-going nightmares and Rick shares in real time the results of his most recent research which promises to change the laws and future of how we treat PTSD.

    The more I watch these podcasts, the less of a weirdo I feel and the more human I feel and it's such a relief and so uplifting.. I love how we are guided to understanding and the lack of bias.. This alone speaks volumes of the beauty of Mayim and her guests..

      I get the feeling Mayim knows about German New Medicine, but also knows what happens to people who go against the brainwashing of Western Medicine and the Germ Theory. Being told a lie for 100 years never makes it the truth, but it does make the medical empire lots of money.

      Every disease is based on the Germ Theory, which was the theory of ONE man over 100 years ago. It was never proven to be 100% valid, and has not even been QUESTIONED again. Why? In order for a theory to be valid, it must be reproduceable in each and every person 100% of the time. Every single person exposed to a "virus" MUST get sick from it 100% of the time, over and over again. It's how you PROVE a theory is valid. This was never done. Scientists used to think witches and witchcraft were valid!! Educated people?? hahaha!! If you cannot "catch" cancer, arthritis or diabetes from another person, then you cannot "catch" a cold or flu. There is no such thing that only SOME diseases are communicable, but not all. It's either all or none of them...they are all based on the same Germ Theory. If you can't "catch" someone's lung cancer, you can't "catch" their colds or flu. Upsetting and distressing events in a person's life is what cause ALL cancer and cancer-equivalent disease, cold, flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. A massive fear campaign will CAUSE people to be "worried sick", but sickness doesn't happen until people resolve their fears. Why do you think kids get sick in October? Because their fear of going back to school and being upset about it finally dissolves, and they get back into their routines. What the media and government is doing to people is criminal. Western Medicine is pure fraud. I can't be the only person in this disgustingly brainwashed world who knows about German New Medicine.

    Thank you Mayim for bringing to light that taking care of our mental health is just as important as our physical health. Mental health issues are not personal moral failures. They are a complex interplay between our genetics, environmental experiences, personal behaviors and our complex neurological system. Caring for you’re mental health and working through mental health issues is not a weakness it’s a strength. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to your weekly podcasts! Thank you again.

    My favorite expression is ‘trauma is trauma’. As a Veteran I’ve compared the experiences that ‘gave me’ ptsd to those who have been overseas or got ‘blown up!’ But the reality is how we cope whether it be sexual assault 🤦‍♀️ or an explosion, the aftermath is often the same. Another soldier comforted me and said , trauma is trauma and ever since I’ve felt peace with it. Wow. Love this. Xo

      Kimberly- I am so sorry to hear that you have gone through that kind of devastation and being re-triggered too. I also want to add that the experience of being traumatized by surgical procedures is actually more common than most of us know.
      Even if we have mentally agreed to a surgery or electively decided to have a surgical procedure, the body itself is having a very different experience. In reality, the physical body is being "held down, drugged and cut", which is understood as an assault as far as your body is concerned.
      The body is literally experiencing a situation where it cannot escape and is being cut and opened, which on any other level would be extreme violence to itself right? And so for some of us, this is processed much more like an assault than a choice to undergo a medical operation.
      This is also why it can trigger older trauma situations in the body- as the body holds memory of trauma which I LOVE that this podcast brought up! An excellent book to read is "The Body Keeps Score" by Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk, which I believe the guest mentioned. Dr. Van der Kolk he is one of the world's foremost experts on trauma resolution- which often must engage the body as the fascia, connective tissues and muscles hold trauma memory. It also explains why some people get very emotional or cry or have memories resurface after a massage.
      Anyhow- there is a wonderful homeopathic remedy called Staphysagria 30C that can help the body resolve/release the residue of feeling violated by a surgical process. It addresses trauma/violation of any kind technically, but is is specifically a great tool for the feeling of trauma after surgery. This might be something that could bring you further relief and I think definitely worth your time to look into.
      I have seen this remedy work in so many people and it also as the direct added benefit of helping a body heal from surgical cuts faster if given during recovery. Plastic surgeons are even giving patients homeopathic remedies now including both staphysagria and arnica to speed healing and pain post surgery since they are so safe and do not interact with other drugs.
      Better yet, rather than just going and getting some staphysagria (which you can buy from most healthfood stores or online) you might really love having a consult with a "classically" trained homeopath.
      I can wholeheartedly recommend a brilliant homeopath named Tria Milo. She is on FB and she has her own website too. She was instrumental to my healing of years of trauma from a very abusive childhood and I was actually given staphysagria several times during our work together. It played such a big role in softening my past and homeopathy is a super gentle tool that works with the body at the right pace for the body and mind both.
      I wish you much blessing on your healing journey,
      Danielle

    There are no words to describe how much this podcast means to me, and how much it has helped me. I suffered significant trauma as a child/young adult, and my parents always tell me to "just get over it." It is very validating to hear that this kind of trauma isn't something that you can just get over, and it is also very uplifting to learn how the brain and body react to trauma...do you know what it's like to finally feel that I'm not a defective person because I can't just get over it? Thank you.

    When you're young, you can also experience surgeries and other medical treatments as traumas. Childhood traumas that set you up for PTSD don't have to be abuse.

    • @PeachPlastic
      @PeachPlastic 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, neglect has a certain likeliness to play a role regardless, because children who aren't accompanied through the emotional impact of those medical experiences are the ones who are more prone to internalising them, because they don't get processed and the child doesn't learn self-soothing. Also, medical professionals can behave abusively. The need to get defensive against the notion of abuse is understandable, but ultimately very often symptomatic denial. For a child, the inner wiring and mental/emotional framework around an event is automatically intersocial; it's not the disease or operation itself that traumatizes the child. The way children relate to situations is through their family system; it's different from an adult's position in the world. I have never met a person carrying developmental trauma who didn't have their trauma linked to harmful behaviour of people, and I've met a lot; studied that as well. From my observation, even in cases where a disease or medical event was a key coordinate in their story, the emotionally supercharged components were to do with people. You don't have to call it abuse if you don't want to but your correction isn't exactly accurate.

      Same. I've only ever told 2 people (except my psychiatrist) because of the eye-rolls and incredulity (because in my case "nothing bad happened"). It's frustrating to have everyone saying you shouldn't hide or stuff down your trauma, but then tell you your trauma wasn't bad enough to cause a condition like PTSD.

    It is interesting to hear the beginning of the podcast talking about how people started using PTSD nonchalantly for random events. We do this with so many things. One word I realized many of us use very ignorantly is “I’m starving”. Any one who says it, including me, is not actually starving and disregards the people on this earth genuinely struggling to have food everyday or even once a week.

I haven't been able to see a dr since the whole mess happened. I had an NDE, spent over a month in the hospital and icu and on a feeding tube for a year. I don't believe in regrets but I did lose everything and still adapting. Sometimes not sure what to do with my emotions. I wasn't physically able to cry for the two years afterwards.

For years I’d try to belittle my experience or just try to force myself into thinking it wasn’t as bad as I remember, but I had no other choice to recognize it as trauma because it just wouldn’t go away. I’ve never dealt w/it in professional therapy…much less have never even brought it up to a therapist! Maybe I’ll see if there r any MDMA clinical trials near my area.

    The effectiveness of using MDMA in healing trauma sounds incredible. I've worked on myself quite a bit using hypnotherapy to access my inner, unconscious, world. And much to my surprise, addressing underlying reasons for a dysfunctional coping tool brought me face to face with childhood trauma I'd blocked out. For me, using hypnotherapy as a healing tool changed me more than any medication or talk therapy ever could, simply because it allowed me very safe access to unconscious trauma where I was walked through a process of releasing associated painful emotions (like was talked about during this podcast). In the world of healing/ hypnotherapy it's called parts therapy.

    I was diagnosed with complex PTSD (meaning there is not a single identified causal event, but rather, a cluster of events behind it) and I have had the damndest time getting help for it. So many therapists who I specifically asked if they specialize in trauma say, well yes, I am qualified to handle trauma clients. Run awaaaaaay!.....

    I recently have been diagnosed with Aspergers. Many of the same traits and sometimes people can have both. They say some are born and some develop in early childhood from trauma and neglect and such. My childhood was filled with much loss. By the time I was 12 both parents had passed away and went to live with my sister at 8 because of neglect. My mother wasn’t the same after my father passed when I was left home often. In retrospect and after speaking with doctors these kinds of advents ca lead to ptsd. I’m connecting dots now and many children who are on the spectrum experience the same feelings when we go anywhere! It’s exhausting! It’s like I’m on high alert and it’s a sensory overload! Work with a professional! They’ll help you sort things out! And hey! If a person has diabetes they take medication to help regulate their pancreas. If your brian, (which is a vital organ lol ) doesn’t function correctly it’s ok to take something the doctor gives us! Don’t allow stigma and ignorance to choose your own path! I love my alone time and such! It’s heart breaking to see those who don’t enjoy being with themselves. I’m alone but not lonely. But everyone’s different! Be patient with yourself and I wish I had gone to my doctor long ago! I coped by masking and abusing substances to fit in or feel “normal”. I no longer depend on those things and have found skills to cope. I don’t try and fit in btw! Being genuine is good enough! And if your alive you have a purpose! Don’t give up! It can get better! 🙏🏻❤️

    It is so refreshing and reassuring to hear Mayim speak so candidly about PTSD, and the elegance of how she addressed the way society uses the term 'PTSD' as a diminished everyday slang term. I don't feel so alone and ashamed for having PTSD, I feel like I have a group of peers who are compassionate, understanding and so accepting of those with mental health challenges. You are making such a difference in how we as a society see 'mental health.' I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work and this podcast. You are a saving grace to people like myself.

    I absolutely love and understand the walking the science and divine lines. I grew up with very devout Catholic parents and only 4 yrs of my education was not parochial. I am sure if there was a Catholic high school in town we would have gone. 🤣 Catholic university and a degree in Theology and psychology with a concentration in neuro physiology. Faith gives you roots....science gives you wings. 🙂

    My husband had/has PTSD (Do you ever actually get cured?) He is doing much much better now but suffered for years. He couldn’t even vocalize what he was feeling for the first several months. While he was undiagnosed it felt like he hated me and I couldn’t do anything right. After we both connected with the right therapists he was able to improve with treatment. What helped me the most was working with a CBT therapist who explained the biological and physiological things that were happening to my husband because of the PTSD. Up until that point everything felt like a personal attack on me. Once I learned what his brain was doing I could separate myself and support him. For example, I tend to run late. If we have a family party at 6 I would get there closer to 6:30 if left to my own devices. But every time I fell behind schedule my husband would flip out. He can’t be late. Now I know that it’s because when he was in the military, if a soldier was late for something it put people’s lives at risk. So he didn’t see us being 15 min late to his mom’s house, his brain was telling him “leave now or people will die”. Working with the right experts can make all the difference.

    A friend of my daugters has PTSD and has had several stokes all related. He was in the military. He struggles to cope with normal everyday things. He tends to lock himself away in his house. Lovely guy its a shame he has this problem. Its not something to play with or take forgranted or thought of as a minor problem. It is not. When you have it you dont function like a normal everyday person. Even going to the shop to buy food is a major major thing to do. My daughter helps him out and shops for him otherwise he orders in take away foods. People need to help people with this disorder. It is experienced differently for each person.
