When Dr. Amen Met Tana
A brain health love story for the ages, the fateful encounter between Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen sparked the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the brain health revolution. In this week of The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen examine some of the lessons and anecdotes from Tana’s highly anticipated new book “The Relentless Courage of a Scared Child”. This episode reveals how the two met, and how bumpy beginnings eventually led to happily ever after.
Why You Should Give Your Mind It’s Own Name
Though it usually happens on a subconscious level, we talk to ourselves all the time. Sometimes our self-talk is helpful, as it allows us to examine our issues in fine detail before acting, or to build up the confidence necessary to grow. Yet other times our minds betray us, reinforcing feelings of inadequacy, instability, and chaos. In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen discuss the phenomenon of self-talk, and how one simple act can change the way you feel and react to your unconscious self-sabotage.
EMDR: Getting Over Past Trauma for Good
When Daniel and Tana Amen first began their relationship, Tana was carrying plenty of baggage from her past experiences. Daniel suggested a unique treatment method for getting over trauma, but Tana wasn’t convinced. Yet when she finally gave in and decided to give it a try, it changed everything. In this episode of the podcast, the Amens explain what EMDR is, and how it can help you to finally leave your traumas where they belong - in the past.
What is Pseudo-Dementia, and What Causes It?
Just as Tana Amen was just beginning her new relationship with Daniel, an unexpected phone call upended her life. Her estranged father, with whom Tana’s relationship had been strained, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. However, when Daniel scanned his brain, what they found not only surprised everyone, but it also left the door open for reconciliation. This episode of the podcast chronicles the turbulent, but ultimately uplifting story of Tana and her father.

I was told I will always have ptsd and severe anxiety, I can't believe how deep breathing, emdr and taking supplements helps!
What supps? Skullcap?: D
Yes what supplements do you take for anxiety PTSD?
The PTSD of trauma is exacerbated because of repressed emotions. Many healing modalities, including EMDR, help the person recognize the repressed emotions and release them. I’ve had years of talk therapy and perhaps it’s pulled back the many layers of complex trauma. I started EMDR sessions 4 weeks ago (I go weekly to counselling) and wow, I’ve been releasing 50+ years of unexpressed/ repressed emotions and I am feeling better each week. It takes a lot of kinetic energy for us humans NOT to feel. So it’s like a pressure value when we are able to feel and cry, get angry etc. There’s lots of YT vids that explain EMDR in detail. I did try it in 2016 to no avail. I had things bottled up wayyyy to tight back then. Each person is unique and healing is a life long journey. It doesn’t seem fair, but we all have choices - live happily or miserably. I wish you all the best on your healing journey.

I just started EMDR. It's profound!
OMGoodness, light bulb goes off.
You completely described me, especially going back to rolling my car without a seatbelt when I was 18 years old. And my ADHD.
THANK YOU so much for your channel.
"Maybe there's a chance that life is better than this" is such a beautiful way to think. Many people who have been suffering a long time don't even give themselves permission to imagine a better life. Good on you for taking a chance on yourself.
I remember going through severe PTSD and social anxiety after losing my youngest daughter..I saw lots of commercials on medication for it ..and considered getting it then God spoke to my heart that " you can't medicate bondage" he told me it had nothing to do with my daughter but that I had let my thoughts go to a bad place ..I began to renew my thoughts and went through a hellish battle with my own thoughts but the day came when I was free..the medical field should be ashamed for using people for monetary gain..God bless you Dr. Amen for shedding light on the real answers
Has anyone else experienced this? I’m just watching this and all the sudden I just burst into tears the only other places this ever happens to me in church.
You're not the only one. .. I'm grateful to be on this journey with the Amen Clinic.
Tana, I had a very similar reaction to Wellbutrin.. After a few months I went nuts! Gladly, my doc didn't double my dosage! Thanks for this, I'm about to start EMDR for C-PTSD, therapy is the best for trauma!
Omg ive just had a massive light bulb moment!!! I was on prozac and that now explains so much, im so happy I came off of that and have started to get my life back. 🙏
Listening to you guys makes so much sense. I struggle whith Rhuematoid Arthritisin addition to a ton of trama. It is my mind vs my body right now and I struggle. I still have a glimmer of control but I struggle to get through things long term like biting my nails and ADHD. I want out of this brain and i crave new structure and lifestyle. I wish I could get your brain scans and take people on my journey. I belive there is so much help to be done in the world.
Yes it happened to me, it took my emotions away, I was bullied into a low offer in mortgage fraud over my farm. I let a vet use euthanasia for convenience on my beautiful old stallion that I had bred and looked after him all his life. I can still feel him licking the palm of my right hand when the vet put the needle in his vein, this is back six years ago now. I made decisions I would never have made without the antidepressants. They took away all my normal emotions and love and care of my horses and everything in general, I have lost my farm and now homeless. Still doctors try to put me on antidepressants, I refuse, they don't get it even though admitting that antidepressants can deaden our normal emotions. I will never take antidepressants again.
Thank you both for all your wonderful work.
Word
It’s hard to find a man so romantic like Dr Amen. You must be a very precious woman to have found that caring man! To pay for 10 EMDR sessions! Wow!!
I’m watching this for the 2nd time. Cried and cried a great deal the first time. Thank you so much for sharing, Tana.
I have been searching for meaning and purpose for surviving in life and moving forward past a life of one traumatic season after another. I am just beginning to see why I react the way I do...
I have been on this journey myself, for as long as I remember.
Through traumatic experiences and the injustices that often go along with these situations.
I live to know more and more about the study of the mind/brain connection and Neuroscience ❤️❤️❤️. I turned 55 years old this crazy year, 2020. I am working on putting my story together. I have been writing in journals for a few years now, so the details are there and when I am able, I will put my story together in a book.
I am presently seeking help for the last time after many many denials from LTD. I have been employed with a Health Association for coming up on 25 years; (the last 4 years not working.) I have struggled with depression, anxiety, fear of leaving my house (every time I’d get back home)...to the point eventually that I struggle to get out, for sometimes 3 weeks. But I find that COVID has afforded me the time to relax and be home and delve into this inner work...without shame for not being strong enough to ask for, and get the help I need.
I thank God for leading me to Dr. Amen and Tana and to Dr. Caroline Leaf and the program she has that I recently began, that led me to my doctor and a counselor that is working with me in these processes. Things are moving forward for me. I am so grateful for you two 💕 and want so badly to visit one of your Clinics when we are once again allowed to cross the border. I am close to Kelowna Canada. So would go to the Washington State clinic 🙏bless you. I am downloading the book by Dr. Amen on putting an end to Mental Illness. I am excited to seek out and read/listen to Tana’s new book. 🦋
Blessings to you both.

It shows inner beauty, that you’re able to wake at 55 to your circumstance, rather than being stubborn and determined that you’d everything already figured. It really is worthy of tears, how we see ourselves and each other in some moments. Then one day we wake and cry with God, and that’s all we can do. That’s why living together requires deep individuals. I’d read your writings, if you wanted to share. You can email me @ sunrisechild@mailfence.com and here is some of mine too medium.com/@sunrisechild
#tanaamen story telling. I’m stoked for when I can buy the book 👁⛵️🌎🤹♀️
Amen , I had a similar opportunity with my dad's final days,praise God!
Thank you for sharing this so transparent to help others, which helps yourselves as well 😊
God bless yall and thank God !
Both of you make so much sence, I've just been diagnosed with ADD and have had a traumatic past, emdr is amazing only had 3 sessions but I'm learning to self soothe and be kind to myself now that I'm having flashbacks thankyou from NZ
I've jus been offered EMDR to get over my traumas ... I'm skeptical but open to anything that's going to help .. depression and anxiety has been a major obstacle in my life since childhood .. Im hopeful that something can work an help me deal with life an the things I'm dealing with.
As a mental health therapist, i wish there was someone with your approach in the area. I refer my clients to your videos. My coworkers would joke and say what does your guy say about this or that referring to you Dr. Amen. Lol. I have thought about getting certified in EMDR. So many people come into my office on so many meds and wonder can we even get anywhere until medications are the right one for the client.
Yeah, hey check out my patreon. www.patreon.com/bestpotentialwayforthepeople
There’s a way to create that, if you’re in.
And ooooooookay, I guess I’ll draw her attention, though I'm not really sure how to "tag" someone..... there's a story sharing my experience waking to what this journey to understanding is like and your wish is the best place to do it. The story @ the beginning of this post is summarized at it’s end by what I’m ultimately observing. "@Tana Amen BSN RN"

Psychiatrist are sometimes scary horrible.One diagnosed my neighbor with depression and gave her prozac.The prozac made her seriously psychotic.Her son came to me and described her depression and It was so obvious to me, a mere layman, that she was bipolar and even I knew that to put a bipolar patient on most antidepressants throws them into mania and sometimes psychotic mania, which is what happened to her.To make a long story short ,it took one full year of psychotic mania before a decent psychiatrist took her off prozac and prescribed lithium, FINALLY!!!Within 3 days the psychotic mania disappeared! Some shrinks are seriously stupid,dangerously stupid.True story..no kidding!!
My mother severely abused me, sometimes while handcuffed, until I was in shock, and then threw me in a cold shower.
I took care of her while she died of cancer. I didn't get much healing out of it. Probably because of who she was. Injured brain and all.
EMDR seems to be much more helpful!
I thank you for your honesty. In a yr my home was set on fire after moving from 911 Leaving a my husband a stock trader who was actively using and abusive relationship. father passed I lost my son I finally lost it . Besides that after home was on fire my brother fractured my skull. I have ADHD with (can't you tell) auditory n visual perceptual dysfunction. I believe we can heal are selves with Colors laughter colorful foods EDMR was introduced to me in early 90's Sister Nora who worked for CORA in Philadelphia amazing woman who helped young mothers by the time I was 22 I had 3 children on my own. I also maintained the outside still do I Imagine Joy is truly possible thank you for all these words and being on with Me Robbins that is what brought me here today . Sister told me this is the fight of my life Joy is coming again I am remembering Good things today hopefully someone sees me like the good Dr sees you. "When the Student is Ready the Teacher will appear"
I'm here beautiful wounds scars that are allowed to turn into strips of Gold Thank you through my journey I'm healing through your help Storm always precedes a 🌈🌈 hope not discouragement befo 🌈. God bless Much JOY and jolly belly laugh
I was on Duloxitine for awhile. I had NO emotions !!! I didnt care about anything or anyone. I was a zombie. My son called it out to my attention. No more dark places for me now that I am off it.
I’m like the curly blond version of you (but 1962) one of five attractive, intelligent, abused, depressed and neglected children.
Dad (looked like MagnumP.I. and very amiable) was molesting me and one other sister.
So the first thing for me to address was the horrible CONFUSION of the outer family persona and what was going on inside the house.
My mom was drowning me (left Ike’s like Ingrid Bergman, super intelligent) at about 8 for lying to her (my cousin too, when I was about 13)
I so understand being hated for being me. In fact, I’ve just gotten “to” the bottom of that this year (2023) at 61.
Our oldest sister was murdered (1994, just a few weeks after Nicole Simpson) and my dear M.D. friend put me on Prozac and my dose kept going up to 60 mg! I was suicidal and weaned myself off. Our son was about 6.
I’d also had chronic fatigue et Al some about 1990. Narcissistic parents.
I’ve hit my head a few times in my life and also struggled with ADD.
I became bulimic when I married my husband in 1982 (me 19/he30) and he wanted me to look like Barbie. He left 22 years later.
8 years later I got cancer on my leg at 50, recently married to my second husband who was very much worse than the first one. HORRENDOUS and terrified.
I did Energy work/therapy “repatterning” for 15 years and have done many other therapies over the years (tapping, RIGE machine, tuning forks) and consider myself well and stable. Totally life saving…I doing tapping most every day because I’m a sweet and sensitive person.
I wish I’d have married a psychiatrist! 😂 I’m consistently and constantly curious and like your hubby, want to help.
Thank you both for the work that you’re doing.
My dear, by now you surely know that you are not alone! ❤
Good work, we’ll done 👏
The other part of the reason that I finally survived it all is because of the Jehovah’s Witness community that I belong to, it also helped me through. Since it’s worldwide and we all believe and live the same way, I’ve been able to enjoy this family worldwide and it’s given me great stability and courage to keep going, in faith. My volunteer work as a Bible teacher has been a tremendous healer (I also go to local jails) because we know that community and helping others is one of the brightest lights in our lives and add precious meaning and can help assuage our various hurts.
Thank you for your sharing and for your listening. 😊
Me too, Tana! I have struggled my whole life with anxiety!😢 I pray I will be able to get scanned because have a lot of physical and mental trauma. My family says there is nothing wrong with me. They have no idea. I feel a brain scan would reveal a great deal and give me the opportunity to heal.😢
Try EMDR insurance pays for it under mental health therapy services
you two are my heroes and i cant wait to have the means to get me and my children brain scanned
Right? I want to find a way to get all of the medicine tribe and everyone employed by my startup, started as clients with this total health approach, but we’re still poor and just trying to make a better way for us.
Oh, how I hope to sit down one day & talk w/ya’ll!! I have story upon story. But the most devastating is that I’m not only diagnosed w/bp1& bpd (including trauma ,c-ptsd, anxiety,suicide ideation,adhd, hsp/empathic symptoms & more in all it’s glory)but have suffered for the past 7 years from hyperparathyroid disease. My psychiatrist ignored a blood test about 6 years back & he not only ignored my “complaints” but kept telling me to keep taking my meds. I’ve been on zoloft, paxil & many others that nearly ruined me. I’ve replaced them with nutraceuticals from Brain Md which is helpful, but hope to come to the clinic one day. It’s God & you both sharing that gets me thruough💜You both are a blessing,truly.
PS-ironic as it is, most people don’t recognize I need help because I hold it together, seethe & then fall apart. Doctors don’t always believe me or think I’m exaggerating, dramatic because of my appearance, countenance.
I could relate. You so blessed me Tana Amen, God bless you.
Yeah, you should definitely care. CARE!
I had to comment again about the reconciliation process you had with your father! I’m floored! What a beautiful story and thank you for sharing!
Dr Amen and Tana, at the outset many thanks for this, it is way beyond valuable or insightful. Thank you and May God bless you both for your work and help which comes in so many forms including a podcast like this one . I have one question for both of you. As a Life Coach , I also undertook a CBT license . Now with the work I do with my clients ,mostly revolving around increasing self awareness ,bring the desired change etc etc , this thought is in my head for a very long time and I need to ask you . The thought is , I actually do not find much of a difference between a Life Coach,Counselor , Therapist except a Psychiatrist ,who can prescribe medicines. Now, If i were to assist someone change for good , I need to study behaviors,pyschology to really even understand what makes a mind suffer . Now without a academic knowledge of neuro chemicals ,brain anatomy and the chemicals that rules our emotions ,how can one adapt the Brain Coaching method ? is it even possible for Coaches like me ?
You are such a cute couple, nice to see!

So this hasn't happened to me but my cousin who is 63 and has been diagnosed bipolar since after the birth of her only child. Most of her life she was on lithium and did very well until 4 years ago when her first grandchild was about to be born. She hasn't been stable since. She was put on prozac and it was a disaster. Lithium doesn't seem to work and they have not found a medicine or combination of meds that seems to stabilize her moods. Now she has totally given up and has tried to kill herself.4 times. It is so sad and unbelievable. I wish she could come to your clinic but I don't think she would.be able to make the trip to Chicago. We live in a suburb of Detroit. It seems hopeless. But prozac did her no good and her side.effects were so extreme she pleaded with the doctors to change her meds again. It's amazing.how psychiatrist don't listen to their patients...so so sad.
Woah, yeah, that last sentence. I second that.
They both are too cute and honest. 💝🎼🐦
I'm so ready for this. Been ready for this. Probably because a longing or something missing in my childhood. Plus... why did the name Carrie pop in to name my brain... 🤔🤫🤐😬
Consider adding to mix of supports in on'es recovery processes the Grief Recovery Method to complete many aspects of experiences of loss and change and grief. It can be a powerful complementary approach to healing and growth. Got to its website for information and to locate its handbook tool, along with Specialists in your area if you want support and guidance. Otherwise, also useful as a self-help. I have benefitted greatly AND use it for groups bearing all kinds of unbearable changes and losses throughout their lifetimes.
P.S. I work in near north Ontario between Sudbury and North Bay and areas and took its training at a Toronto site with one of its trainers Ed Owens.....
You're definitely not a lo,e. Ive had hundreds of dramas as well. From my brother being kidnapped, narc mother to finding out my father isn't my father. A lifetime of trauma. I've been put in several meds. Last time klonopin and felt terrible so they trippled the dose and added Zoloft. Thats the last time I used any form of medication.
Yes yes and yes
Our thoughts aren’t always REAL. We are not your thoughts. Ask yourself: “Is it true?”
Pls change the initial picture of the video. It is skewed
Thank you for all the help you have given people. I watched a video recently and I cannot remember the name of the person but his wife is a TH-cam person. They have one child and are expecting a second one. You did a brain scan and told him that he had a brain injury when he was younger. He did say he fell down steps when he was a baby. Anyway, your mentioned taking fish oil and some other type of natual vitamin. He could not take the fish oil so you gave his wife a vegan alternative. 3 Things i would like to ask...which fish oil do you recommend, the name of the other product and lastly...I have watched the the you tube...but I cant find it Can you please help?
Hello Barbara, thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you watched a video from Laura Clery, about her husband Stephen. Here is a link to the video: facebook.com/1441658079469946/videos/3354520147960582. Additionally, you can find Dr. Amen's recommended supplements here: brainmd.com/.
... Im on my journey to healing. Thank you for podcasts. I've learned ALOT about brain health, supplements and killing the ANTS XOXO
I agree doctors should not be allowed to prescribe medication without screening them completely
Wish I had the money to go to the clinic...
Havening worked much better for me.
Love her jewelry. What company is it from.
When you went through cancer did you also go through chemo? And did you have chemo brain because I feel like having chemo brain now my ADD is worse.
Given 3 antidepressants and made me worse and one the meds was paroxetine 👎
I think I’ll name my mind “Lensey”. Thanks.
❤Love can do funny things 😂
