Wow so in this stage the memories that I thought were forever forgotten are brought back up. It makes sense in the healing process it's just so crazy how it feels like it's gone for good but I guess just locked away
Telling the story means that memories bubble up and the picture can become more complete. Often in PTSD, nightmares can be a clue to the themes that need to be worked on.
@@thePSYCHcollective thanks a lot of this channel and how responsive you are to the comments! (One nice thing about not being mega channel) I just got a new trama focused therapist and was given this diagnosis. Some stuff is falling into place now for why stuff happened. I just am waiting on our next appointment lol. Anyways thanks for the video and especially the replies to comments!
Yes. Everyone has different vulnerabilities or flaws in how they see the world. That’s why some people are traumatised by an event that doesn’t traumatise someone else. Usually one’s vulnerability is not obvious and we are blind to our flawed view of the world (eg driving is safe, people are mostly trustworthy, my managers care about me etc). The vulnerability is a weak point in our resilience or a dangerous flaw in our model of the world. In PTSD a solution is to figure out the vulnerability so that one can address it and curtail some future event from threatening us through that flawed weak point again. Thereby we also update our model of the world. It needs to be addressed at high resolution. The usual response is low resolution (eg everything is dangerous so I’ll stay home to be safe. Then one has sacrificed the world and remains unwell)
You guys make a good team. You both are passionate about helping those who have suffering as a reality.
Great video presentation Jess and Dr Al. I got a great deal out of this. Thank you..!!

@@thePSYCHcollective thanks so what if you are diagnosed as PTSD but rarely have nightmares?
That’s great. The nightmares are no picnic. It’s a matter then of working through things with a therapist who does trauma work.

Should/Could Emdr be used at any of these stages?
Potentially it can be of great benefit.
Can people go through events and not experience trauma or ptsd?

Bad audio makes this nearly unusable.
