At 57, I'm finally in a position to address my trauma and clear it from my body. Thank you Dr. Levine! You really ARE a life saver! God bless you and yours--
@@Rollwithit699 Where have you tried to get help from? I think modern psychiatry does not really understand or validate trauma, they just diagnose your symptoms and offer you pills. Psychiatrists and psychologists can also minimize and diminish your traumatic experiences and insist that it's really just a chemical imbalance or something similar. None of that ever helped me, i literally read one book on complex PTSD and it did much more than anything else before.
This is the ABSOLUTE BEST Dr. Peter Levine video I have listened to by him. He is a mind of knowledge and knowing about this. Sounds like him teaching is really transforming him I think!
I love peter Levine, he is so helpful for giving valuable tips on dealing with trauma. It is strange, the exercise with making a sound when breathing out is something i used to do a lot in a kind of automatic way when i was working, people used to this it was weird, but i think that was a way of healing for me as it felt so relaxing.
Oh yes, the definition: fear/threat in the face of helplessness= trauma. Especially experienced from the perspective of a young child without the language development or reasoning capacity to process it all. That was me. While I was a reader, seemingly without ‘learning to,’ I had crippling anxiety with mathematics. My dysregulated little brain could not focus on numerical reasoning. Later...I sought self-healing in my career choice and spent 32 years as a school psychologist trying to help traumatized children be successful in school. It was like speaking a foreign language trying to convey what trauma can do to children to parents and educators who did not get it. They could not accept the mind-body connection. Even with the ACEs study data that is now 20 years old, it has taken until my last year working when it began to be presented to staff as a whole new way to look at the causes of how damaged many children are by the time they start school. My speciality was early childhood for nearly half my career and have been increasingly dismayed over the years at the increase of significantly traumatized preschoolers who would not be ready for kindergarten without early intervention. I am so glad to see that trauma-informed education is beginning to be addressed.
I've been traumatised my hole life from effevts of childhood abuse a mother who abused me a partner who abused me turned my. Kids against me to. This day my world is turned upside down how do u forget thr damage someone else does to u
Eli, this makes two of us. Dr. Peter Levine is just one extraordinary mind and soul of a rare breed. His vast knowledge, expertise, and experience can not only educate all of us but also pave our way along a new path of spiritual exploration that will also heal our inner self with his pure kindness and genuine love. Over the years, I have learned from Dr. Levine so much that I have now changed my long-time manual therapy dealing with chronic pain issues to include traumatized clients. I am also pursuing his Somatic Experiencing training which I find so fascinating and very helpful. Gradually, I started to realize and accept that many physical pain issues originate rather from traumatic experiences. And this phenomenon really started to dawn on me when clients would return and still complaining of the same pain issues, even though the pain would disappear after each treatment session.
I can't focus on this video, I try to stay focused, but... my mind's too distracted: 1) I am constantly flooded by memories that fill me with rage. I am raped by rage. I could murder for all I used to put up with. 2) how is it that I've spent my whole life in poverty when I have the talents, passions, and skills that could make me wildly rich? 3) stress, stress, stress and more stress... always 999-trillion things to do and the thought of doing any of it just makes me want to die. (I am traumatized just contemplating it all.) 4) food is my only escape. but for the sake of my health, I cannot keep escaping in food, or it will literally kill me... 5) never in my whole life have I ever had true love or a real friend. never ever have I...

What an amazing person. My life has been transformed more in the 6 months of SE work than in the 25 years of work I did prior. Thanks Peter.
Can you describe how?
Please share how you got better. I've been trying to get help since early 20s, I'm 68. Its getting worse.

@@pineappleflow2876 May I ask what book you read?
@@Rollwithit699 "Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving" by Pete walker
When he does the excersize after 20:00 it sounds like some ethnic singing. Humanity certainly knew something important what we mostly forgot.
I have been searching for this answer for over 30 years!!✨👏🎉🙌🎉
I finally found the golden nuggets of healing trauma❤️🐬

@@rozloutsios953 thank you. Im reading his books now, and trying the 12 modalitys to heal.
When Dr Levine says he feels the vibration in his belly, I can only feel it in my mouth. Anybody got any tips?
Open your mouth a little more and you will feel the vibration in your belly❤️
Ist ein deutscher Untertitel möglich?
I can't focus on this video,
I try to stay focused, but...
my mind's too distracted:
1) I am constantly flooded by memories
that fill me with rage. I am raped by rage.
I could murder for all I used to put up with.
2) how is it that I've spent my whole life in poverty
when I have the talents, passions, and skills
that could make me wildly rich?
3) stress, stress, stress and more stress...
always 999-trillion things to do
and the thought of doing any of it
just makes me want to die.
(I am traumatized just contemplating it all.)
4) food is my only escape.
but for the sake of my health,
I cannot keep escaping in food,
or it will literally kill me...
5) never in my whole life have I ever
had true love or a real friend. never ever have I...
One thing, theres so much bulldhit out there thats called mindfullness...and its not..
So are you saying that this is or isn't mindfulness? Thanks
