I love Doc Snipes. Thank you for your helpful videos. I think chronic health problems can also cause PTSD. Many hospital admissions, and also living through weather disasters or other disasters. Plus homelessness. 🙏🙂🌺
Thank you for your kind words and for highlighting such an important point. Chronic health issues, repeated hospitalizations, disasters, and experiences like homelessness can absolutely lead to PTSD. Trauma isn’t just limited to specific events-it can stem from any prolonged or overwhelming situation that threatens one’s sense of safety and stability. The combination of these stressors can create a significant emotional toll, leading to symptoms similar to those seen in PTSD. It’s so important to recognize and address these experiences as part of the healing process. I’m glad the videos have been helpful to you, and I appreciate you bringing attention to these often overlooked sources of trauma. Also, I’d be grateful if you were to share what you found most useful from the video. Additionally, if you're interested in more tips on the topic or if you want to explore my video library, you can use my AI: allceus.com/AskDocSnipes.
The information you share really helps me conceptualize the dimension of trauma. A concept that always should be present in your awareness when meeting people that faced adversities. Thank you!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I’m really glad the information is helping you gain a deeper understanding of trauma. You’re absolutely right-trauma is multi-dimensional and can manifest in ways we might not always see. Keeping that awareness in mind when interacting with those who’ve faced adversity is key to offering compassionate and informed support. It’s wonderful that you’re approaching this topic with such care and insight. Also, if you’re comfortable, please free to share what you found most useful from the video.

Mania can also be caused by autoimmune flare ups and blain inflammation. I'm really angry about the dumping ground "Bi-polar" diagnosis because when a person needs emergency anti inflammatory remedy but all they get are dangerous anti psychotics they could DIE. and then they get to be stigmatized and not even have a mental illness. We've known that brain inflammation can cause mania for more than 100 years. See mania in a person who clearly has autoimmune conditions and diagnosing bi-polar without further investigation for a physical cause is malpractice.
You raise a crucial point that often gets overlooked. The link between autoimmune issues, brain inflammation, and symptoms like mania is well-documented, but it doesn’t always get the attention it deserves in clinical settings. Misdiagnosis can be extremely harmful, especially when it leads to treatments that address symptoms rather than the underlying cause. It’s frustrating when the complexity of a condition is reduced to a label like “bipolar disorder” without fully exploring physical health factors, particularly when brain inflammation could be the culprit. You’re absolutely right that when someone’s experiencing mania due to an inflammatory response, they may need anti-inflammatory treatment rather than psychiatric medications, and overlooking that can be dangerous. This is a reminder that a thorough, integrative approach to diagnosis and treatment is critical, especially when it comes to complex cases involving both mental and physical health. Thank you for shedding light on this important issue-raising awareness can help push for more comprehensive care. Also, if you’re comfortable, please free to share what you found most useful from the video.

You’re absolutely touching on a fascinating and growing area of research. Trauma can indeed have epigenetic effects, meaning that environmental stressors, including trauma, can influence how genes are expressed and potentially impact future generations. While the exact mechanisms are still being studied, there’s evidence suggesting that trauma experienced by parents or grandparents can affect gene expression in ways that may predispose their descendants to certain conditions. When it comes to Type 1 diabetes, which is typically seen as an autoimmune disorder with both genetic and environmental triggers, the connection to ancestral trauma is less clear but still worth considering. While direct evidence linking Type 1 diabetes specifically to inherited trauma is still emerging, we do know that stress and trauma can impact immune function, which could, in theory, play a role in conditions like autoimmune diseases. This is an area where more research is definitely needed, but your question highlights how interconnected our physical and emotional health can be, even across generations. Thanks for bringing this up-it’s a critical conversation in understanding how deeply trauma can affect our lives and the lives of those who come after us. Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you found most useful in the video, if feel comfortable sharing.

Thank you so much for your comment and for watching the video! It sounds like you have a lot of self-awareness about how you cope with stress, which is an important step in understanding PTSD. Avoidance can feel like a natural way to protect yourself from pain, but as you probably know, it often keeps us stuck in that cycle. "Incredible Hulk mode" and "reverie" are also powerful responses that can be tricky to manage. When avoidance kicks in, it’s often because our brain is trying to shield us from triggering memories or feelings. However, gentle exposure-whether it's through therapy or small steps in everyday life-can help reduce the intensity of those triggers over time. As for "Hulk mode," grounding techniques like deep breathing or engaging your senses can help when those overwhelming emotions start to rise. "Reverie," which I imagine might involve zoning out or getting lost in thought, can be your brain's way of creating distance from reality. Mindfulness practices, even in small doses, can help bring more balance. It’s inspiring that you’re able to recognize and articulate these patterns. Please be kind to yourself as you work through these responses-they are your brain’s way of trying to protect you, even if they aren’t always helpful long-term. Also, I’d be grateful if you were to share what you found most useful from the video.

if sleep problems disorders are a sign of trauma i have lots of trauma i know that already but still seeing the depths of it growing like me seeing how traumatized i really am and what happened to cause it is ever expanding. Thanks for the video
Thank you for sharing that. It sounds like you’re becoming more aware of the layers of trauma and how it’s impacting your life, including your sleep. That realization can be both eye-opening and heavy. Trauma often has a way of showing up in ways we might not immediately recognize, and sleep disturbances are one of those signs. The more we understand how deep it runs, the more we can work toward healing, even if it feels overwhelming at times. It’s important to remember that trauma isn’t static-it can evolve as our awareness deepens, but that also means our capacity for healing can grow alongside it. I’m glad the video helped in some way, and I hope it encourages you to keep exploring your journey at your own pace. Be gentle with yourself as you continue to navigate these realizations. Healing takes time, and every step forward, no matter how small, is progress. I’d love to hear what you found most helpful from the video-your feedback is invaluable.

As I learn more about my Cptsd, the new information seems to create a sense of cognitive dissonance until I have processed the new information. Is this normal.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Yes, it’s absolutely normal to feel cognitive dissonance as you learn more about your CPTSD. When we gain new insights that challenge or expand our understanding of ourselves, it can create a mental tug-of-war between what we’ve believed and what we’re now discovering. Processing that information takes time and can bring up mixed emotions-confusion, discomfort, even resistance-until everything starts to align more clearly. This is part of the healing journey. As your mind integrates this new understanding, it’s essentially reordering how it makes sense of your past experiences, which can feel unsettling at first. But over time, this process can lead to deeper clarity, self-compassion, and a more cohesive sense of self. Are there specific strategies you’ve found helpful when navigating these moments of cognitive dissonance, or is there something you’re seeking guidance on as you continue processing this information? If you're interested in more tips on the topic this or if you want to explore my video library, you can use my AI: allceus.com/AskDocSnipes. It’s great that you’re engaging with these insights, even when they feel challenging-that shows resilience and a commitment to growth.
I am fortunate to find your channel Dr. Snipes. Living with a lifetime of PTSD symptoms isn't something I intend to continue with any longer. I deserve better. I'm not taking the dirt nap yet so there's still hope for healing Now. Blessed Be ✌🏼 Dr. Snipes.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your commitment to healing. Recognizing that you deserve better is a powerful step in itself. It sounds like you’ve made a decision to take charge of your journey, and that determination can make all the difference. Healing from a lifetime of PTSD symptoms isn’t easy, but the fact that you’re still holding onto hope shows your strength and resilience. What steps are you considering as you move forward in this healing journey? Sometimes, even small actions like exploring different therapeutic approaches, practicing self-compassion, or building supportive routines can make a significant impact over time. I’m truly honored that you find the content helpful, and I’m rooting for you as you continue taking those steps toward the life you deserve. Blessed be to you as well.

@@DocSnipes Thank you for your efforts and knowledge. It's indispensable for personal development and management of mind/body challenges.
