Daniela has named a state of mind she calls the "trauma world." I find this concept so helpful, because when you name something--the rabbit hole place into which we suddenly drop--there is a chance that you can tame it. Her emphasis on the need to go into the heart of the pain in an emotional and physical way deeply resonates with what I've seen in people who heal from the fear, dissociation and shame of trauma. Great talk.
Digs deep beneath held concepts of trauma to the 'trauma world' we create and, alas, sustain in order to survive - very important and personally helpful.
Excellent. Dr. Sieff's insights are clear, insightful, and valuable. The healing of trauma is essential as we work toward a more compassionate and sane world.
Thank you Ari - yes indeed. When we live with unaddressed trauma its almost impossible to come from a place of genuine compassion, becasue the shame, dissociation and fear ultimately prevent us from being able to take the step into feeling and vulnerability that is so vital.
Thank you for this important lecture. very informative, very focused, so rich. My whole world in 20 minutes. Feels so good to hear that I make sense. I feel relieved. Thank you. I will try to translate to Hebrew.
So pleased that it was helpful. If you translate to Hebrew please let me know - and also where you circulate it.

Thank you so much Daniela Steff! You literally made my life easier and enlightened me. I find the answers to questions in my mind in this video.Now I'm relieved. I hope you read this comment. Thank you!
Help does not have to come from a counsellor or a group. It can come from friends, whose special contributions to one another is to help to live with, and perhaps gradually to help one another heal, their trauma. Never underestimate the value of art, engaging in the arts as a practitioner, and above all of genuine friendships. Love even, as the opposite of fear, an emotion that could surely have featured in this talk, and sadly did not.
This is very good. I found that attempting to engage with NHS for help brought further trauma and had to withdraw - be very careful indeed when going down that route (you might be LUCKY and find someone who understands trauma). When the traumatised person doesn't have the resources to access private counselling - which I'm sure is very often - what are we to do? Thank you Daniela for contributing to the solution!
+Cathi Morgan I wonder if they have anything like the "sliding scale" payment method we have in the States? Where the fee is adjusted for the patient's income? I've heard stories from other people about trying to get therapy and being treated bad - the guy even was hung up on twice. Having to work through a gauntlet of staff with distorted ideas about the people seeking help - that's a ridiculous situation to be in. Always keep an eye out for good people in the world, too. People who have been through hard things and now they're trying to lift people up. There's a few of them out there.
Hi Cathi, A belated 'thank you' for your comment. There is a growing awareness of trauma but I agree - you do have to be careful as some therapy can make it worse. I've just posted a more in-depth version of this talk - in case you are intererested. It is at: bit.ly/Sieff_Kings2016

Short Term Cognitive Therapy. Thank you for your work! I am a social worker and work with community health. Short term therapy is a problem even in longterm settings because of the lack of trained professionals in trauma .
Ending infant MGM would go a long way to ending trauma sequelae in adulthood. Go read the book "Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma" by Ronald Goldman, PhD

With all due respect, I went through the entire process described but finally without the outside help of the type Daniela Sieff mentioned. I did it spiritually: God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Secondly, it is not true that the fear and pain will necessarily always remain. Mine is completely gone. I attribute that to that I didn't rely solely on the secular mental-health-care system but went well beyond it. The greatest part of my healing was understanding and forgiveness. Frankly, it all came down to love.
I apologize for the idiotic comment from some "J. P.M." supposed person., which comment I deleted and which "person" I blocked. For some reason the commentator took the position of assuming that I was referring to homosexuality, which wasn't on my mind at all (though it certainly can be included). The commentator went on to make a very lowbrow and completely inappropriate statement, which is the main reason I deleted the comment and blocked the very crude mind that wrote it. For those who saw the deleted comment and so nobody is left with the completely wrong conclusion. let me add here that I have never been through what the commentator termed "gay-to-straight conversion." I have studied what is called Reparative Therapy and have said, along with its main practitioner, that the family dynamics (narcissism, for one) described in that treatment can help with more than just the issue of unwanted same-sex attraction. I am not and never have been a homosexual or bi-sexual. I have never engaged in any such behavior either. Those who know me well and best, know that.
+Tom Usher I wouldn't take any negative youtubecomments seriously. There's an army of "trolls" out there who enjoy causing painful reactions from people. Their goal is to cause problems and _definitely_ not to give any kind of sincere response.
I think you're correct about the possibility of healing without outside help as Dr. Sieff described. There are certainly examples of others afflicted with serious maladies who have healed without professional assistance (e.g., cases where cancer was healed without medical attention).

I think it is possible to heal yourself without psychologists, or other people. In other things I agree completely, she is very clever person!
Very heartfelt.
Wisdom indeed.

Very nice piece of information, helps us to understand how to manage with trauma or how to help a traumatic person to come out of this...

Short Term Cognitive Therapy. Thank you for your work! I am a social worker and work with community health. Short term therapy is a problem even in longterm settings because of the lack of trained professionals in trauma .
I absolutely agree - also much trauma comes from attachment relationships and short term therapy can't work with that by definition...
