We need more real experts like this man. Unfortunately when it comes to abuse issue, many influential victim industry groups can skew research or suppress any opinion which does not suits them. It is very hard to oppose them, because it is sensitive issue and many organizations profits from this witch-hunt. Hopefully one day we will have adequate policy on this problem, based on really independent scientific research, measures taken by state will be proportionate and meaningful.
This is exactly what happened to me. I have never heard someone describe this happening so clearly. Exactly. I could have passed a polygraph easy - there was no memory of the events at all. One year ago they popped up and they were there. Face. Name. Location. Everything. No malice, no violence, simply no memory of what happened ages 5-8. Nothing. I was the person that said repressed memories were bullshit because of our awareness of trauma and what we think we know about cortisol. I was wrong. That Doc got it right. Somehow.
There is research to suggest that the memories resurface when the brain is at a developmental stage where the emotions associated with the incident are more ‘tolerable’. My understanding was that the conscious repression of the memories are the brains way of protecting itself from a horrific event(s), though the effects of the experience(s) manifest in different ways even if the individual is actively repressing the memories (for instance, feelings of shame, actively destructive behavior like cutting, promiscuous sex, substance abuse, depression, anxiety etc...).
Hes absolutely spot on, ill never forget the boom moment. Straight into full blown pyschosis and in a mental institution within a week After a similar experience and this one being the latter - obviously traumatic..im basically permanently disabled mentally incapacitated
While the majority of the doctor’s comments certainly are spot on, the portion of which he mentions child abuse is not traumatizing most definitely is incorrect. The physical aspect may not be traumatizing, but when “Uncle Bob” tells you that you can’t tell your parents, children will understand that this situation is one mom and dad would not approve of finding out. If children didn’t think it was bad enough to remember, wouldn’t they openly speak of it? Especially when it’s new? I’m a survivor. I have undiscovered memories that I understand can be brought to the surface and dealt with in a way that is painless. Honestly, as much as I believe in hypnosis, I can’t seem to decide if it’s better left alone. It isn’t that the incident is not traumatic for children-it’s because their mind has erased it-or rather buried it so deep that they seem to have forgotten. Unless someone has truly experience in this firsthand, it’s a bit inappropriate, even after speaking to patients who’s minds are pliable with a professional at the helm with an unshakable trust, to believe.
I have to Just Disagree in my case because I was molested for 7 years and I did block it out + 15 years old I acted out and I had panic attacks my the whole childhood. Then every boyfriend since high school has been abusive. My husband beat me everyday until he caused me to have a brain aneurysm. not to mention that he padlock the house so I could not get out. Prior to that I was tape. And LOTS MORE has happened to me. So yes I have repressed memeries . I am a #complextraumasurvior. And proud of it! #breakthesilenceonabuse #betrueloyalandforgive
@John Truth You're an arrogant loser. Do not try to speak for other's experiences. Get over yourself fool. Disassociation is actually a very common response to trauma and abuse so shut the hell up.
I have a lot of trouble with the concept that being sexually touched at a young age by someone who should have been safe is, in this man's eyes, NOT trauma...sad
I think you are missing the point. He says that it is not classified as trauma at the time the child is young because it is not violent or terror-provoking like rape (and therefore the stress hormones are not activated), and in that sense it is not traumatic. The child does not get vivid flashbacks/ nightmares etc. It turns into trauma once the individual (now adult) realises that the things that X person did to them were actually wrong. they are distressed because of that (high stress --> enhanced memory of traumatic event/ recollection). They then have trauma symptoms, and therefore "delayed onset PTSD".
He seems to contradict himself a bit and doesn't really know what he's talking or is just biased. I suspect he may have introduced bias in his studies.

Who came here after listening to Jordan Peterson?
Excellent

Agree with you!
@John Truth - You are missing the fact that everyone handles trauma differently.
He contradicts himself. That’s not an assumption. Crazy man.
God bless you...What does your profile say? "The journey back to ____"?? What is that last word?
