      FWIW something that worked for me during the worst life storms was saying to myself ‘in this moment I am safe’ or end with OK. Another is ‘evevn if it’s not OK it will be OK.’ Sml but with some focused breathing and closed eyes it helped. Also if needed find a bathroom and sit for few min alone to do them. With time you can do it in crowded areas. When we get through tougher times or memories it leaves us stronger and with more self respect and awareness. Life is hard and you’re not alone by far.✌️

    THANK YOU, DR. SNIPES! I think you may have guided me to finding my healing. After decades of therapy, where CBT helped me make rational decisions, I've still experienced physical symptoms that I've described to people "It's like my body is in permanent lock down, it's ALWAYS wired, even when I'm outwardly relaxed and happy. Could the childhood trauma of 60 years ago still be in my body?" And then I saw your title, and that is the first time that I've ever even had someone validate the possibility of chronic embodied trauma. I look forward to watching your videos, and look forward to getting clues that might help find an appropriate professional I can directly work with.

    I managed to heal myself from horrific child abuse without the use of torturing animals. What is wrong with people, I find it utterly sickening that people who are allegedly healers relish torturing small furry animals. Just go to Brad Yates for emotional freedom technique EFT. He is a brilliant and generous and emotional freedom technique practitioner was over 600 videos to heal anything from emotional pain/anxiety, grief, shame and everything else without inflicting unnecessary, unscientific torture on innocent sentient beings. If we torture our own pets with gratuitous violence, we are imprisoned.. Why are there different rules for scientists in labs with white coats, behind closed doors inflicting horrific suffering. Sick 🤢

    Thank you for sharing your own personal experience with trauma and how you’ve managed it. Many lecturers can come across as a tad condescending and paternalistic but you’ve detailed some very helpful and empowering strategies here.
    People might also find it useful to look at the enteric nervous system and how this relates to trauma-related anxiety. It’s essentially a second brain in the gut. See also gut-brain axis.
    Totally agree with your advice:
    i) to do yoga. Been doing Iyengar for years and it works. Journaling might also be useful for some people as it’s an easy way to review your progress and identify who your triggers are.
    ii) definitely yes to finding opportunities to laugh/sing if at all possible. That might well sound impossible for some who find themselves “locked-in” to ruminations about their traumatic event/incident. Everyone is different but it’s vital to give yourself a break even if it’s only momentarily.

    Just stumbled across you. Keep doing what you do!! I wasn't taught any of this. I have no doubt you are going to be the one who actually helps me. I have lived a very traumatic life. My body now handles my fear and worries by attacking itself in odd and strange ways. No way any doctor can explain. I have learned my body does this when I'm under stress from my traumas. I have done everything to help myself but I havnt learned how to release, realize or relax. I'm going to watch you, I know your going to make a difference in my life. ♥

      I didn't get on with the Wim Hof breath - not because it wasn't effective, but because the sensation of activating the stress response was not something I could push myself to do every day - despite the benefits I felt after. Years of being in a severely hypervigilant state led me towards more gentle methods. The cold showers, however... I started them again a couple of weeks ago, starting with hot water and then turning it to cold. Now I look forward to having a full shower starting with cold. It's the weirdest thing. Initially I had to mentally prepare for it, then realised the sensation was exactly the same as the excitement of being dared to run under a waterfall when travelling, and so I began to dare myself and laugh in anticipation of my response. But I agree, Wim Hof's techniques are very transformative!

My future looks brighter because I don't have to worry about triggers and the sense of helplessness they can elicit. Also, I don't have to worry so much about people who can't afford or in any way access a good therapist, because
    anyone with internet (which, of course, is not everyone,) can watch your videos. Fortunately, I have a truly awesome therapist even though I'm a low income person. But I know my case is more an exception than the rule. God bless you!

    Try playing a French horn if you want get some deep breathing. One thing anyone can do isa buy a brass mouthpiece [trumpet, French horn, trombone, etc.] and put to lips and buzz lips to mouthpiece. It really stimulates a relaxation response, especially if you're highly anxious. The larger the mouthpiece,[trombone e.g.] the greater the relaxation response since it takes more deep breathing.

    I really like how you summed up what we were learning about at the end. When teachers leave something open-ended, I often don't get what they are talking about to bring everything together. I understand what people are saying by what they say afterward because it brings together a collection of thoughts into a meeting of the minds that is satisfying and becomes a positive learning experience. I get the feeling that the teacher is intending to empower me with the experience and I relax and am able to enjoy the subject matter. Bad teacher move too fast and do not care about my struggle. But that is not you! Instead you are a good role model. It is like the good mother who does back and forth with a small child who enjoys the interaction. I forget what that is but you probably know a lot more about that than I do. I could also read parenting books about it. Adults still want to do that as learning is very much of an interaction with a caring attachment figure who sees and responds to you as a person.

    I have past childhood trauma, and live with constant depression and Anxiety. I did a hair mineral test, that showing I have high toxins in the body. That and poor gut health. I don't even know how too heal! I got covid last December, and my mental health got worse. I'm so depressed and spend most day's crying in bed. I think my vagus nerve is badly damaged 😢 tried alot of these vagus nerve techniques, even brought a vagus nerve stimulation device. Literally become more suicidal after using it! Definitely believe trauma and toxins mess up the vagus nerve.

      SO, normally my husband would never go to anyone that didn't have a true drs. License or title and would insist that the professionals rendering services must accept Insurance. However after 2 years of suffering with intense neck pain and dizziness, and trying "everything" which included a series of shots, chiropractic visits and even 2 small surgeries, he sought the help of a kinesologist. She worked with muscles , which support bones and he felt relief after the first visit! He followed up with 2 more visits and is virtually pain free currently. Don't be afraid to stop outside of your comfort area as he did through ultimate desperation. Good luck! 👍

    What if your HRV(cortisol) is always high, never recovers significantly, even worse at night unless I fast 24 hours or more. I do not feel stressed at all, eat healthy, exercise, watch these numbers closely, watch alcohol, etc, but no change. Started CBT and do have CPTS, but seems to be no rhyme, reason, supplement, breathing exercise, that does anything at all...except fasting/IF, but even then still have high levels at the beginning of the night. I get a bit of recovery about 3 am, if I do an evening fast. No doctor, naturopath, therapist etc has any insight. I'm about to say "screw it".

    Very often the trauma has been caused by another human, and our brains have shut down the memory of this because emotionally we are too young to deal with it or understand it. I have seen many people healed immediately by going to God in prayer and asking Him what the issue is. This should be done with the help of a trusted believer for support, because the revelation can be very traumatic. Then the person can pray for the grace to forgive this person(s), for very often they will not want to. When they feel forgiveness, then they forgive and release the perpetrator, and they are set free from the fears and symptoms. This does not mean that the harm that was caused is ok or that we have to trust that person, it just means we are delivered from the consequences of holding resentment. God is good and merciful, always.

    Thank you for your 3 part series on the vagus nerve and its role in anxiety and stress. I had been using many of the techniques you suggest and they have been very helpful. Thankfully, I am no longer in the situations that caused my anxiety issues and my lifestyle is generally very peaceful and I am healthy. But I still have occasional flashbacks or experience generalized anxiety - like fear of experiencing pain/anxiety as opposed to actually experiencing it. So, that is where your information has helped me. Now I understand precisely why these techniques are important and helpful with past stressors and reprogramming my responses.
    I am very grateful🙏🏼

Frontline healthcare "hero" (now zero) who was treating covaids just fine and effectively before it had a name, then the mask mandate happened and THAT was when my entire staff and I fell ill with severe illness, and that was just the beginning of a HORRID horrible journey (that bore fruit, indeed, due to my faith and pain to purpose and finding purpose in pain)...so when I see people walking around with the masks in fear, it reminds me of being neglected by the healthcare system.
