Just what I needed to hear. I have had a lot of emotional trauma in my life. There is nothing to do with childhood. In my marriage mostly. My hubby died 12 years ago pancreatic cancer. Long that long after a very traumatic time with my dad dying who I looked after. I would like to think I have risen above it but do you really. Deep down inside, I'd say not. Thank you for another interesting video. Very helpful.
So for recovering from brain trauma, would you need to stop devices? And for how long? And also how much a day? I am recovering from a head injury that happened 6 months ago, but i think it’s time I try reverse the injury.
This was one of the ideas I had and also the idea for a video explaining the different outcomes for different people developing mental health issues in result of trauma. Like some people get anxiety and some develop PTSD or both sometimes for example.
Trauma healing is about moving forward, not necessarily returning to a pre-trauma state. It's about developing resilience, coping skills, and a sense of agency to live a fulfilling life despite the challenges of past trauma.
@Starberrysky711it's definitely possible to get your spark again if you completely remove trauma triggers and have faith in God along with therapy. That has worked for me
I have been through near death experience and death of everyone who loved me. I am healing. Music has been my savior. I will recommend everyone to learn to play a musical instrument. It works better than everything I tried.
Even when encountering similar situations or the same person, you may experience the same emotions and bodily changes as before. However, "you can heal through your religious beliefs, self-love, and support"

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes Jefshroomies , I have a similar experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction, and mushrooms have significantly contributed to my recovery and being clean today.
I wish those were more accessible here. Microdosing was the next thing I planned for my husband. He's 59 & facing many mental health issues, probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma for 8 days. Sadly, I had to get a TPO because he's 6'6, over 300 pounds, and displaying violent behavior, always talking about hurting others. He's really aggressive. If anyone out there knows about BPD, is it common to have an obsession with violence?
man im glad that this channel exist and i swear that this channel knows what i- WE are going through prob related to this video topic but not so long ago (kinda a few months) i lost some 'friends' of mine of who i used to get along with which caused me to have trauma which i am unable to forget.. and yes as provided in the video, my sleep had been impacted w my trauma too, not just my sleep, but my hobbies and many things too. i am now with trustworthy and supportive friends right now which they all brightened my life :D yo chat whatever ur going through somethin tough, dw it wont last forever. it will take time to overcome ur tough chapters of life so stay strong and healthy :)

I went through the same thing last year and it has caused me so much trouble in forming new relationships. Whenever a new person enters my life I'm anxious if I'm going to get attached to them, if they were going to abandon me, and the pain I have to endure if they do so. I wish i could stop acting out of fear and form positive bonds
if you’ve ever felt like no one notices you, trust me, i get it. i felt like that for years, trying all the confidence hacks and advice out there. but nothing clicked until i read Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki. there’s something about chapter 3-it’s like the missing puzzle piece i didn’t know i needed.

i was in an abusive relationship three years ago and it still affects me horribly. she constantly yelled at me for venting and was manipulative and gaslit me daily. she talked shit behind my back and tried convincing me to believe she didnt.
I'm so sorry you had to experience that hell. You deserve to be supported and loved! You should never feel guilty or bad for trying to vent about what's stressing you and I hope you have some wonderful people in your life that care about you and your struggles. 💜
I believe that when we are in relationships with people, including familial relationships, for years, these people impact everything we believe about ourselves even when we don't notice it. Gaslighting makes us slowly change our beliefs about our lives and our self in such a way we don't know it's happening. It's like an infection taking over our body..we don't give it permission, don't see it happening, don't want it inside of us, and it makes us sick. We can't just say go away infection. In order to heal the abuse in your mind you have to literally reprogram your mind the same way it got sick. Consistency and reputation. Just as we teach a dog to learn tricks.. (Not using fear, spanking or physical consequences).. Say what you want to learn out loud constantly and consistently. Every day multiple times a day. For example, I am worthy of happiness, respect, love. I am beautiful. Etc. Practice this over and over. Reward yourself for small victories and also not tolerating anything negative in your head. Most importantly you have to stop the infection from spreading or continuing. People who are toxic in any way will keep you sick and believing all the things programmed in your head. It's hard because we subconsciously want to validate the negative beliefs because that's what has become normal. The body does feel safe when it's exposed to anything that's not it's normal. It's like if you were never let outside a home in your life. If you never felt wind or had your feet touch grass and the one day as an adult you walked outside... grass would terrify you. It's so hard but you have to know that you are worth fighting for and that you can reprogram yourself to be free of all the beliefs that don't belong to you😊
I have endured traumas and I'm still enduring traumas in my life. Honestly I'm keeping everything inside me and I'm just moving quickly without acknowledging my traumas and shut down everything that has to do with emotions. Basically I'm just living on survival and I don't care no more
I've been doing this but now all the negative emotions I have ignored have been catching up to me so id recommend dealing with your emotions before its too much for you to handle
@@sandiletwala3001nuh g. Life is about more than surviving. Trust me. I've been in survival mode for over 2 decades. The sooner u find the strength to acknowledge and try to deal with your emotions the better your life will be. It's not your fault that you got where you're at. But it's your responsibility to get where you want to be. And you can do it. Much love g
I had an awful childhood, I was always in and out of foster homes, being s/a as a 6 year old, and so much more I could say. I never got to flourish in my environment,always wanted to have a normal life with a dad or mom. Now I can’t keep normal relationships with people because I start to become toxic and I cant regulate my emotions properly . I can’t help it, I’m currently in therapy and each day is a step. Small steps are still steps.
The interoception part hits hard for me lol, I usually notice I'm hungry when I'm shivering or get a stomachache, same with sleep lol Edit: corrected spelling mistakes
for the longest time, i thought being magnetic was something you either had or didn’t. i used to watch others shine while i felt stuck. then i found Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it made me realize it’s all about the vibe you give off. chapter 3 especially changed the way i carry myself-it’s such a powerful shift.
I can't even watch these videos without crying or felling sad I just remember there words how they treated me and now it's like nothing happened and I'm the only one who knows and I'm still stuck there and they have moved on.
No, I get it. I'm still stuck too. I can't fall asleep without feeling his hands on me, and I want to look normal and to act normal and just be normal but I can't. I can feel it in the front of my head when I think about it and it feels like a weight being pressed against my skull, and I'm still waiting for it to break.
I feel like some people don’t understand how easy it is to traumatize someone… even just a simple repetitive “why this, why that, why did you do this, why did you not do that,” can do so much. People often mistake trauma for just… beating. But it’s not like that. Being told every day that you aren’t doing something right even when you outright try… is exhausting. It made me insecure, jokes felt like real life disturbances. All I wanted to do was just be… alone… I talk to myself constantly. Every day I would predict what I was gonna be told and EVERY TIME I was wrong. It felt… horrible…
2:51 ooooooh, that’s why i don’t eat, can’t regulate when stressed. I have a way of describing it and it feels like I’m a chihuahua always shaking and stuff. That’s how it feels all the time. Not like scared or anything but almost like tensed up but idk why. I think i understand now. The way I’ve been stuck behind natures defenses makes me feel like a trapped chihuahua or something. Not like i am a small dog but the shaking and tenseness that can’t be shaken off. Like I’m always cold. Oh and the hunger is so bad it feels like I’m dying, like it’s pain but you don’t move. Idk why.
When... i saw this video... i felt it sink in. I find it hard to feel joy or excitement. i dont feel the same way i used to.... and it is not fun. I want to feel that excitement again... It's like your brain switches off your feelings to keep you safe...
I wanna say to everyone that although life seems like a huge struggle,trust me I know, and I'm so proud of how far you've all come . Just clicking on this video means you Wanna help yourself and understand yourself better! Keep doing this self care and ik it may be hard to do that at times but you'll get the hang of this. I believe in you! 💜☺️
Psilocybin mushrooms have certainly had a beneficial effect on my mental health. They've been quite effective for me in managing my anxiety and depression.
Does anyone know any good source to get them? I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels, would love to give shrooms a try.
talking about the nightmares from ptsd... I've had several in my past life, and still do at times, relating to being sexually harassed, losing someone close (like a friend or a pet), severe storms that involve tornadoes, verbal abuse from my dad, and a few more.. those types of dreams have gotten a bit better over time, since being with my bf, but I still have them from time to time because my past memories constantly want to come back and haunt me to make me feel horrible and terrified. I'm hoping that some day they will stop completely, with the help of my bf
I think the older we get the more trauma we experience. When you’re responsible for others can make it so much more difficult. Have no choice and have to be strong
I was traumatized by an abusive relationship I was in now I'm terrified that all relationships will become abusive so I don't look. I've been single ever since.
Same, better stay single. I have lost all hope in Relationship and Humanity after trying it again and again, got abused worse than before and as soon as there was another guy, thrown away like a broken toy. Stay alone, stay save, stay happy.
TODAY is a reminder of this timme last year that was one of my most top3 traumatic events, ive drunk over a half bottle of wine to try and drown it but im not gona drink anymore. i will learn from it, just a prepararation for any further traumatixc events wont/cant touch me....because im numb to it all or ive learnt to leave my body & thats a good thing.
im currently in a very healthy relationship of almost 10 months now and we’ve talked about sending pictures and stuff. whenever i go to actually take one,nit reminds me of when i was groomed for months and i immediately get uncomfortable. my girlfriend understands it and she says it’s completely okay but it doesn’t feel okay
3.20 yes I do agree that sometimes the brain has trouble noticing when we are hungry or need the bathroom I am really glad this was mentioned. Great video everyone. Brain with a bandaid and a smile was a nice touch. 😊
A lot of this was extremely familiar to me, and when I thought about whether I actually experienced trauma, my brain told me that I was lying... But the fact that I experienced guilt, to me, means that I'm not faking it or lying. If someone says "no, you were not traumatized, you are fine", when they are likely to be the cause of your trauma... you may want to distance yourself from that person if at all possible.
one of my dearest friends was caught in a nasty accident. not a lot is known about the accident, but we do know that they (gender redacted) was paralyzed and severely burnt. Both they and arguably I were deeply hurt by this misfortune. it bothered me very much. and it had set deeply into their brain. it's been nerve racking to watch this video. my friend is a enigmatic one and even i dont know a lot about them, yet so many things matched up with what you presented. it's very heartbreaking to realize more about their difficulties. bad sleeps, nightmares, unclear mind, constant bleeding and pain, and combined with serious chronic health conditions and mental issues carried over from pre-disaster, and the loss of precious memories and objects, loved ones, etc... my heart sank whenever i thought about these. but there is hope. i see them describe their new creations enthusiastically, got back to their passion (almost immediately after they wasnt critical anymore), coping with reality and trying to not raise any more worries by redacting the tragedy, and still tried to be independent despite their declining situation. they're not as active as before, but every time i see them, they are always doing what they love and just moving forward. I figured what they needed might not be compassion, but respect.
I handle my past trauma through artwork. I sketch and post my work on social media. Yet lately i feel that people have grown weary or just plain uninterested in my artwork, as I've posted it for several years, and idk if it's the algorithm or what, but it just worsens my traumatic memories, as i get flashbacks from high school, i wasn't popular then, and those feelings seemed to have returned.
I've had a lot of these issues. I've been trying to get over addiction and learn not to let stress go on for so long and work on fixing relationships.yes I suffer from PTSD and I been in counseling for about some odd 2o plus years
I recently passed through a trauma and it seems my brain kinda erased this, and now it's just hard to develop feelings, I can't do things the same way I used to.... I still don't understand why my brain did this to me even when I started to take medicines to control it better.....
traumatic events happen to me usually once a year and it sucks. it's usually betrayal by people I thought were my friends. I definitely experience anhedonia, and nightmares that retell my traumatic event stories.
Thanks, Amanda. And to psych2go for another great video. I appreciate everything you guys do. And my ears are graced by Amanda's beautiful and kind voice. Good work all around!
I've moved past my past relationship and we do have a healthy friendship now. But the trauma I went through from the lies she told and the anxiety that she gave later still makes me act in ways I wish to change.
I think I'm recovering slowly, i think i have adhd or synesthesia which i only self diagnose because of TH-cam... anyways i have super self awareness and knowing my actions and feelings helps me figure things out on my OWN others are useless is what I learned, you can only take inspiration from them but you are alone not depressed or have any problems but im just not gonna change my mindset, somehow relying on others hurts me more
I have suffered from sleep paralysis Since aged 8. It was very scary for me as a kid because I would wake up and couldn't move at all nor was able to say a word. To this day I stop myself from Having it by literally stopping myself from falling into a deep slumber which causes me to sleep super light especially since I’ve dealt with other traumas during sleep in my past, so I hardly get sleep. I have to smoke THC to stay asleep through the night and some nights that still doesn’t work.
Sometimes the worst part of having endured trauma is being self aware of it and its effects; seeing the negative reactions happening autonomously or consciously. It's even worse still when you lack the support you need to begin to make the progress you so desperately yearn for, and further still when you encounter sleepless nights and deliriously exhausted days to follow them. I hate that I speak from experience on all of those, and I really wish I could get a refund on my brain, with as useless as it seems to be most of the time.
one night sleep paralysis happen to me and it really freak me out. Like i don't know what causes, but the only thing on my mind is just Fear, it feels like im awake both on a dream and realism at the same time. Even though time passed by, i can still remember the sensation of being immobilized and haunted with fear for absolutely a while in the darkness of my room
This is very true. I am still recovering from my many years of trauma. I was tortured neglected and abused and lost people tragically for most of my life. The past 3 years I been able to work on myself and start recovering from trauma. I am able to do that now because I live alone and I have a therapist helping me work on recovering from the trauma regarding the torture and domestic abuse I experienced and loss. I do very much get night terrors and sleep paralysis. I understand that firsthand. I can’t really tell you what the dreams were because with night terrors I don’t remember after I wake up crying or screaming and shaking. I have C-PTSD from my past experiences and it’s not easy. I am guilty desensitizing myself and detaching myself. Still working on that one though. I am still also working on getting closer to people and being comfortable around people. I am definitely doing better but still it’s a challenge sometimes. I know what happened to me is not my fault. I can’t control other peoples actions and I only can control myself. I know I did the best I knew how to do in my horrific circumstances and situations I went through. I don’t mind sharing because I want people to know that they are not alone and trauma is different for everyone and is always valid.
Sorry the last sentence was a typo I meant to put every person who went through trauma is valid and deserves to be safe and healthy. Sorry I notice the miss wording.
Sensitive to sensory inputs like sounds, sights or touch. Ignore or misread being hungry, exhausted, stressed. Dulls brain's response to rewarding experiences, anhedonia. Struggling with sleep. Recovery: EMDR, CPT, routine, journaling, limit triggers, celebrate small wins, creative outlets.
So I had trauma myself, I never feel hungry or thirsty, but I always goes to the kitchen to get some foods or sometimes sweet if I wanted too, food and sweets make me feel more relaxed, like soda or something
i don't know why, but right now, my brain is blocking everything-and i mean everything. from my childhood to what i did yesterday, and it feels like my brain resets itself each day. i've been trying to find answers, but i don't get any. i chalk up my task paralysis to susception of ADHD, but now im starting to think im just traumatized. REALLY traumatized. im barely 16 years old. currently, i'm trying out creating music, and it's been cathartic, but it feels like i'm not supported by any. im actually surprised that it's a way of coping. i feel so alone (exclusions with my small friend group, feeling ignored at home) so i just keep my mouth shut. i wonder how long it takes before someone notices. im so tired.
100% this applies to me. I thought I was fine because I was never physically abused but those 5 signs all fit. Turns out having no one you could trust for the whole second half of your childhood can cause these problems too.
I was born and raised in a traumatized family. I barely felt loved from my parents and I was sent to a boarding school at 7 yrs old. There were many traumatic experiences and my brain was almost destroyed. I feel unsafe and my brain has literally turned to survival mode. It is very hard to have comfortable sleep and my physical health went down as well. I met a girl and soon she ran away. am trying to change and recovery is a hell long process.
Life is nothing, if not ironic. The foremost reason for a trauma response is survival. But in the end, it's one of the few things that can keep you from living your life...
Nothing huh? Don't be depressed yeah life is cruel but is nothing means that human shouldn't be exists sone people has suffer worse but they never give up
Thank you for this b/c I have a better understanding how to explain and learn coping tips! Plus. You help make the work go and look easier which I appreciate the help. Continue the great work helping us!!!
Thank you for your support-it truly means so much! 💛 We’re so glad the video could help you better understand and find ways to cope. Remember, every step forward counts, and you’re doing amazing. 🌟 What’s one coping tip you’ve tried recently that’s worked for you?
I lost my taste and smell for 4 years. I really think it is bc of the complex trauma. I also lost the ability to cry. And i never feel joy or any good.
I saw the hat man once, except he wasn't wearing a hat. I remember having a dream I was playing football at night time, then there was a fire and the club house was burning down. Everything got chaotic and hot people burnt. I woke up just before dawn and saw a clear distinct figure of a man probably 6 foot in a large trench coat. I blinked a few times and every time I blinked he moved sideways towards the door until he got to the door then he started to move backwards. I then heard a very faint sound of the roller door in the garage opening. I got up and checked the house no sign of anything. Checked the garage which was closed. Nothing. I was spooked.

Even if you want to forget that moment, you just can't
I have been through near death experience and death of everyone who loved me. I am healing. Music has been my savior. I will recommend everyone to learn to play a musical instrument. It works better than everything I tried.
sometimes in C-ptsd cases people forget what caused their trauma and that moment but they experience just as severe symptoms
Even worse: every specific events merge together into a big mush, and you can't remember anything directly now but the trauma is still there.
Yeah you can
Ever heard of DID? As someone else mentioned, CPTSD also blocks stuff
Even when encountering similar situations or the same person, you may experience the same emotions and bodily changes as before. However, "you can heal through your religious beliefs, self-love, and support"
If the brain can rewire itself to survive, it can also rewire itself to heal. 💪✨
Damn right, you don't have to be a victim.take it from someone who has experienced hell and got stronger from it.
Survival is priority
HELLLL YEA IT CAN! THERE MUST BE A BALANCE BETWEEN SURVIVAL AND A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE!
But how?!
Heal to survive!

It's hard because we subconsciously want to validate the negative beliefs because that's what has become normal. The body does feel safe when it's exposed to anything that's not it's normal. It's like if you were never let outside a home in your life. If you never felt wind or had your feet touch grass and the one day as an adult you walked outside... grass would terrify you. It's so hard but you have to know that you are worth fighting for and that you can reprogram yourself to be free of all the beliefs that don't belong to you😊
I have endured traumas and I'm still enduring traumas in my life. Honestly I'm keeping everything inside me and I'm just moving quickly without acknowledging my traumas and shut down everything that has to do with emotions. Basically I'm just living on survival and I don't care no more
I've been doing this but now all the negative emotions I have ignored have been catching up to me so id recommend dealing with your emotions before its too much for you to handle
@Jeffroooo It is what it is bro
@@sandiletwala3001nuh g. Life is about more than surviving. Trust me. I've been in survival mode for over 2 decades. The sooner u find the strength to acknowledge and try to deal with your emotions the better your life will be. It's not your fault that you got where you're at. But it's your responsibility to get where you want to be. And you can do it. Much love g
Please try and care about you and love you. Self-love is healing . 🙏
@Linda2 I can try but life to me is just another day at the office for me
Ur voice makes me feel so much better. I was just crying and u calmed me ❤
Thank you! Amanda has a healing voice.
Having gone through what ive done recently, it feels like its made me a completely different person. And all i want is myself back 💔💔💔
I had an awful childhood, I was always in and out of foster homes, being s/a as a 6 year old, and so much more I could say. I never got to flourish in my environment,always wanted to have a normal life with a dad or mom. Now I can’t keep normal relationships with people because I start to become toxic and I cant regulate my emotions properly . I can’t help it, I’m currently in therapy and each day is a step. Small steps are still steps.
The interoception part hits hard for me lol, I usually notice I'm hungry when I'm shivering or get a stomachache, same with sleep lol
Edit: corrected spelling mistakes
As a psychology student this channel is everything for me 🎉❤
Thank you for the kind words. Glad the channel could be resourceful.
@@Asworld0-1 REAL (I still got 4 years to go till I can study psychology)
for the longest time, i thought being magnetic was something you either had or didn’t. i used to watch others shine while i felt stuck. then i found Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it made me realize it’s all about the vibe you give off. chapter 3 especially changed the way i carry myself-it’s such a powerful shift.
I already have trauma from seeing that thumbnail...
Lmfao what
I can't even watch these videos without crying or felling sad I just remember there words how they treated me and now it's like nothing happened and I'm the only one who knows and I'm still stuck there and they have moved on.
No, I get it. I'm still stuck too. I can't fall asleep without feeling his hands on me, and I want to look normal and to act normal and just be normal but I can't. I can feel it in the front of my head when I think about it and it feels like a weight being pressed against my skull, and I'm still waiting for it to break.
I feel like some people don’t understand how easy it is to traumatize someone… even just a simple repetitive “why this, why that, why did you do this, why did you not do that,” can do so much. People often mistake trauma for just… beating. But it’s not like that. Being told every day that you aren’t doing something right even when you outright try… is exhausting. It made me insecure, jokes felt like real life disturbances. All I wanted to do was just be… alone… I talk to myself constantly. Every day I would predict what I was gonna be told and EVERY TIME I was wrong. It felt… horrible…
2:51 ooooooh, that’s why i don’t eat, can’t regulate when stressed. I have a way of describing it and it feels like I’m a chihuahua always shaking and stuff. That’s how it feels all the time. Not like scared or anything but almost like tensed up but idk why. I think i understand now. The way I’ve been stuck behind natures defenses makes me feel like a trapped chihuahua or something. Not like i am a small dog but the shaking and tenseness that can’t be shaken off. Like I’m always cold. Oh and the hunger is so bad it feels like I’m dying, like it’s pain but you don’t move. Idk why.
Sounds like you are stuck in freeze mode.
dang.. i hope you feel better
Who hurt you?
OMAIGAD, the voice sooo soothing
I know right
When... i saw this video... i felt it sink in. I find it hard to feel joy or excitement. i dont feel the same way i used to.... and it is not fun. I want to feel that excitement again... It's like your brain switches off your feelings to keep you safe...
It kinda sucks knowing that this is the most ‘healed’ as I’m going to get.
dealing with trauma is a serious issue, please seek professional help if you are experiencing this, or a ask friend
I wish I felt like I could tell someone
I always wondered how your algorithm is so good, like you guys always release the right video at the right time. Much love to everyone ❤️🙌👑
I wanna say to everyone that although life seems like a huge struggle,trust me I know, and I'm so proud of how far you've all come . Just clicking on this video means you Wanna help yourself and understand yourself better! Keep doing this self care and ik it may be hard to do that at times but you'll get the hang of this. I believe in you! 💜☺️
Psilocybin mushrooms have certainly had a beneficial effect on my mental health. They've been quite effective for me in managing my anxiety and depression.
Does anyone know any good source to get them? I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels, would love to give shrooms a try.
levishroomies is your guy. The best shrooms and psychedelics guy I know.
Please, how do I reach levishroomies?
Is he on the internet?
Yes, he is
talking about the nightmares from ptsd...
I've had several in my past life, and still do at times, relating to being sexually harassed, losing someone close (like a friend or a pet), severe storms that involve tornadoes, verbal abuse from my dad, and a few more..
those types of dreams have gotten a bit better over time, since being with my bf, but I still have them from time to time because my past memories constantly want to come back and haunt me to make me feel horrible and terrified. I'm hoping that some day they will stop completely, with the help of my bf
I think the older we get the more trauma we experience. When you’re responsible for others can make it so much more difficult. Have no choice and have to be strong
I was traumatized by an abusive relationship I was in now I'm terrified that all relationships will become abusive so I don't look. I've been single ever since.
Same, better stay single. I have lost all hope in Relationship and Humanity after trying it again and again, got abused worse than before and as soon as there was another guy, thrown away like a broken toy. Stay alone, stay save, stay happy.
TODAY is a reminder of this timme last year that was one of my most top3 traumatic events, ive drunk over a half bottle of wine to try and drown it but im not gona drink anymore. i will learn from it, just a prepararation for any further traumatixc events wont/cant touch me....because im numb to it all or ive learnt to leave my body & thats a good thing.
im currently in a very healthy relationship of almost 10 months now and we’ve talked about sending pictures and stuff. whenever i go to actually take one,nit reminds me of when i was groomed for months and i immediately get uncomfortable. my girlfriend understands it and she says it’s completely okay but it doesn’t feel okay
3.20 yes I do agree that sometimes the brain has trouble noticing when we are hungry or need the bathroom I am really glad this was mentioned. Great video everyone. Brain with a bandaid and a smile was a nice touch. 😊
A lot of this was extremely familiar to me, and when I thought about whether I actually experienced trauma, my brain told me that I was lying... But the fact that I experienced guilt, to me, means that I'm not faking it or lying. If someone says "no, you were not traumatized, you are fine", when they are likely to be the cause of your trauma... you may want to distance yourself from that person if at all possible.
Thanks for the video❤
one of my dearest friends was caught in a nasty accident. not a lot is known about the accident, but we do know that they (gender redacted) was paralyzed and severely burnt.
Both they and arguably I were deeply hurt by this misfortune. it bothered me very much. and it had set deeply into their brain.
it's been nerve racking to watch this video. my friend is a enigmatic one and even i dont know a lot about them, yet so many things matched up with what you presented. it's very heartbreaking to realize more about their difficulties. bad sleeps, nightmares, unclear mind, constant bleeding and pain, and combined with serious chronic health conditions and mental issues carried over from pre-disaster, and the loss of precious memories and objects, loved ones, etc... my heart sank whenever i thought about these.
but there is hope. i see them describe their new creations enthusiastically, got back to their passion (almost immediately after they wasnt critical anymore), coping with reality and trying to not raise any more worries by redacting the tragedy, and still tried to be independent despite their declining situation.
they're not as active as before, but every time i see them, they are always doing what they love and just moving forward.
I figured what they needed might not be compassion, but respect.
I handle my past trauma through artwork. I sketch and post my work on social media. Yet lately i feel that people have grown weary or just plain uninterested in my artwork, as I've posted it for several years, and idk if it's the algorithm or what, but it just worsens my traumatic memories, as i get flashbacks from high school, i wasn't popular then, and those feelings seemed to have returned.
Would love to look at your work.Where do u post them?
I've had a lot of these issues. I've been trying to get over addiction and learn not to let stress go on for so long and work on fixing relationships.yes I suffer from PTSD and I been in counseling for about some odd 2o plus years
I recently passed through a trauma and it seems my brain kinda erased this, and now it's just hard to develop feelings, I can't do things the same way I used to.... I still don't understand why my brain did this to me even when I started to take medicines to control it better.....
2:14 Throw the heightened sensory awareness of autism and the low threshold for sensory stimulus that comes with it and it becomes infinitly worse.
I just remember my dad berating me for crying. It was because of one singular missing assignment.
traumatic events happen to me usually once a year and it sucks. it's usually betrayal by people I thought were my friends. I definitely experience anhedonia, and nightmares that retell my traumatic event stories.
Thanks, Amanda. And to psych2go for another great video. I appreciate everything you guys do. And my ears are graced by Amanda's beautiful and kind voice. Good work all around!
Thank you for the kind words!
Simple and easy breakdown. Thanks for the video!!❤❤❤
Hey! I loved the video but noticed a little typo for “tuning” in 1:19
I've moved past my past relationship and we do have a healthy friendship now. But the trauma I went through from the lies she told and the anxiety that she gave later still makes me act in ways I wish to change.
Here before the bulleted list person
high five!
I think I'm recovering slowly, i think i have adhd or synesthesia which i only self diagnose because of TH-cam... anyways i have super self awareness and knowing my actions and feelings helps me figure things out on my OWN others are useless is what I learned, you can only take inspiration from them but you are alone not depressed or have any problems but im just not gonna change my mindset, somehow relying on others hurts me more
These videos, have really helped me. Every single one
YAYYYYY! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!
This was very helpful and encouraging . It gave me hope. I love this channel
I have suffered from sleep paralysis Since aged 8. It was very scary for me as a kid because I would wake up and couldn't move at all nor was able to say a word. To this day I stop myself from Having it by literally stopping myself from falling into a deep slumber which causes me to sleep super light especially since I’ve dealt with other traumas during sleep in my past, so I hardly get sleep. I have to smoke THC to stay asleep through the night and some nights that still doesn’t work.
"Tunig" typo around 1:20 mark. Great presentation. Thanks.
Here before the comments fill up
fill up what 😳
@maestro3887 before the comments get full lol what were u thinking 😂
@@destinylacy uhm yeah no that was what I thought exactly…
Check yourself for adrenal fatigue. If you’re watching this, you likely have it 🤍
3:42 sounds like trauma is a direct cause to depression, which isnt like new information but cool to see it explained how
Sometimes the worst part of having endured trauma is being self aware of it and its effects; seeing the negative reactions happening autonomously or consciously. It's even worse still when you lack the support you need to begin to make the progress you so desperately yearn for, and further still when you encounter sleepless nights and deliriously exhausted days to follow them.
I hate that I speak from experience on all of those, and I really wish I could get a refund on my brain, with as useless as it seems to be most of the time.
one night sleep paralysis happen to me and it really freak me out. Like i don't know what causes, but the only thing on my mind is just Fear, it feels like im awake both on a dream and realism at the same time. Even though time passed by, i can still remember the sensation of being immobilized and haunted with fear for absolutely a while in the darkness of my room
Thanks so much for your videos ❤
Thank you for watching!
Love this!! I’m going to use this video in a class I teach. ❤🎉
Let us know how it goes! If there are further resources or request, let us know. ;0
This is very true. I am still recovering from my many years of trauma. I was tortured neglected and abused and lost people tragically for most of my life. The past 3 years I been able to work on myself and start recovering from trauma. I am able to do that now because I live alone and I have a therapist helping me work on recovering from the trauma regarding the torture and domestic abuse I experienced and loss. I do very much get night terrors and sleep paralysis. I understand that firsthand. I can’t really tell you what the dreams were because with night terrors I don’t remember after I wake up crying or screaming and shaking. I have C-PTSD from my past experiences and it’s not easy. I am guilty desensitizing myself and detaching myself. Still working on that one though. I am still also working on getting closer to people and being comfortable around people. I am definitely doing better but still it’s a challenge sometimes. I know what happened to me is not my fault. I can’t control other peoples actions and I only can control myself. I know I did the best I knew how to do in my horrific circumstances and situations I went through. I don’t mind sharing because I want people to know that they are not alone and trauma is different for everyone and is always valid.
Sorry the last sentence was a typo I meant to put every person who went through trauma is valid and deserves to be safe and healthy. Sorry I notice the miss wording.
Hi, thank you for sharing. I am proud of your for your effort to heal your trauma. Keep going.. Hug for you..
@@neroow2258 thanks
Sensitive to sensory inputs like sounds, sights or touch. Ignore or misread being hungry, exhausted, stressed. Dulls brain's response to rewarding experiences, anhedonia. Struggling with sleep.
Recovery: EMDR, CPT, routine, journaling, limit triggers, celebrate small wins, creative outlets.
i literally explained my own trauma issues to my crush yesterday 😅
And she ran off over the horizon, made that mistake myself. 😢
@@richardscathouse It depends on many factors such as why she needs to know, i have to mention it to clear my past behavior.
I don't call it trauma, i call it nostalgia. Fond memories of dodging death, reminders of how elite and how tough i really am
That s a very specific set of topics .
So I had trauma myself, I never feel hungry or thirsty, but I always goes to the kitchen to get some foods or sometimes sweet if I wanted too, food and sweets make me feel more relaxed, like soda or something
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Thank you!
im so tired of ptsd
You fine
@ im not
@tatss777 just drink a lot of whiskey and all the pain goes away Trust me I know
Actually shut up@@Asuperbaconator
I know this is supposed to be a serious video but the talking sounds like it was recorded on a 3ds and it's sounds so cool
i don't know why, but right now, my brain is blocking everything-and i mean everything. from my childhood to what i did yesterday, and it feels like my brain resets itself each day. i've been trying to find answers, but i don't get any. i chalk up my task paralysis to susception of ADHD, but now im starting to think im just traumatized. REALLY traumatized. im barely 16 years old. currently, i'm trying out creating music, and it's been cathartic, but it feels like i'm not supported by any. im actually surprised that it's a way of coping.
i feel so alone (exclusions with my small friend group, feeling ignored at home) so i just keep my mouth shut. i wonder how long it takes before someone notices. im so tired.
100% this applies to me. I thought I was fine because I was never physically abused but those 5 signs all fit. Turns out having no one you could trust for the whole second half of your childhood can cause these problems too.
Dang. This is very relatable unfortunately.
I once was awake and watched my shadow walk up the stairs after I did. It was surreal.
Thank you. 💖
I was born and raised in a traumatized family. I barely felt loved from my parents and I was sent to a boarding school at 7 yrs old. There were many traumatic experiences and my brain was almost destroyed. I feel unsafe and my brain has literally turned to survival mode. It is very hard to have comfortable sleep and my physical health went down as well. I met a girl and soon she ran away. am trying to change and recovery is a hell long process.
Life is nothing, if not ironic. The foremost reason for a trauma response is survival. But in the end, it's one of the few things that can keep you from living your life...
I'm living my life just fine without snake oil and gaslighting #Therapy 😊
Nothing huh? Don't be depressed yeah life is cruel but is nothing means that human shouldn't be exists sone people has suffer worse but they never give up
I once got burnt by hot water and now I am EXTRA cautious with hot water
2:08 well i guess it makes sense why i instantly react to the sound of the door to my room opening.
I was in a very abusive marriage when I was in my early twenties.
Over forty years later I still struggle emotionally sometimes.😢
I have trauma that i dont remeber but I still suffer under it.
I love this channel.
Thank you for this b/c I have a better understanding how to explain and learn coping tips! Plus. You help make the work go and look easier which I appreciate the help. Continue the great work helping us!!!
Thank you for your support-it truly means so much! 💛 We’re so glad the video could help you better understand and find ways to cope. Remember, every step forward counts, and you’re doing amazing. 🌟 What’s one coping tip you’ve tried recently that’s worked for you?
My parents made me have anxiety depressed
Please make comfort videos i need then ❤
Yep! Which ones did you enjoy so far?
All the above on symptoms
1:40 I have this really bad. Ill mistake noises that most people around me for someone calling my name. it sucks when it interrupts stuff :/
0:40 we need to start acknowledging spiritual / religion Trauma, Because that one not only affects the brain but affects someone's spirit and beliefs
Agree 200%
Funny thing my therapist & I had this conversation recently. We’re now trying to work on coping
This video really helps me great video
The plant dies, for the seed is rotten...
Here its the radioactive soil, #FukushimaDownwinder Sacramento CA 😂
I've got three cancers and some of the weirdest Roses you'll see. 😢
I lost my taste and smell for 4 years. I really think it is bc of the complex trauma. I also lost the ability to cry. And i never feel joy or any good.
Yeah I see that in the rising of shield hero naofumi the MC has the same thing bc of melty without raphtalia his state will be worse
I saw the hat man once, except he wasn't wearing a hat. I remember having a dream I was playing football at night time, then there was a fire and the club house was burning down. Everything got chaotic and hot people burnt. I woke up just before dawn and saw a clear distinct figure of a man probably 6 foot in a large trench coat. I blinked a few times and every time I blinked he moved sideways towards the door until he got to the door then he started to move backwards. I then heard a very faint sound of the roller door in the garage opening. I got up and checked the house no sign of anything. Checked the garage which was closed. Nothing. I was spooked.
After being choked by my friend I have been afraid of anything touching my neck, and after that I have seen some of these symptoms
Living with my parents in my late 20's is very traumatising. But the world is traumatic at best compared to my life.
I wish you guys uploaded more about mental health and not sexual topics...
Great video! 🙏🏼
Thank you!
