Thank you for stating that trauma affects our bodies. My anxiety and other PTSD symptoms cause me physical pain sometimes. And the day after a flare of symptoms can make me feel like I'm ill (aches/pain, stomach issues, etc.) So many people discount what your mind can do to your body.

Okay, when you mentioned trauma leading to the idea that you don't have a choice, I freaked out.
This applies to me and I didn't even know. I've had people get frustrated with me because I actually see a fixable situation as an unfixable, no-choice problem. I had never drawn the connection between this habit and trauma before.

Mind blown when you mentioned being invisible and not being seen meant being safe

This topic reminds me of Kate & Anthony from the second season of Bridgerton and myself. I grew up in an abusive environment and I'm still working on moving away from the people who abused me; I really fear romantic commitment because my parents' horrible relationship and put me between their arguments.

I'm and LPCA and I'm currently reading "The Body Keeps the Score." My supervisor and I are reading it for work. It's been very enlightening. Through reading this book I have grown really interested in EMDR and I'm actually going to take a training on it.

I was half paying attention because i was replying to texts at the same time.. but the second an angry parent was mentioned i got brought into this talk and couldn't be distracted by anything else until the end. I cried, but it's such a helpful thing to listen to. "How can i show myself love?" well damn. Moving on will be hard but i'll try hard. Thank you for that

The concept of "shame" and fear of judgement is something that brings up a lot of intrusive thoughts for me. I've tried various techniques to explain to my Dad, that it does feel like I'm stuck. Recently have been trying to get help for him as he gets older but he's very stubborn and stuck in his ways. Additionally, I have trauma related to older men, so when my father pushes certain boundaries it puts me back in a fight/flight response where I'm reliving trauma.

As a 55 year old guy, until watching this video I never connected the dots to several things in my life (currently or in the past). It's all connected to never feeling emotionally safe growing up. I don't know why I never made the connection until. God bless you for the insight.

really helpfull, my mother didnt want me as i was a girl, the continuous emotional neglect has left me crippled realating to people, its getting better, but i still dont quite get that most people really like me

Great video once again! I just wanted to mention how much I appreciate your "Keep shining. We need your light". It is such a sweet thing to say and so meaningful since we impact each other probably more than we know. Thank you for saying that. I love your videos on this channel or on Cinema Therapy so much because it helps me to understand myself and the people around me better (and I love movies). You guys are really making a difference, thank you!

I just started therapy yet again because I still have not gotten over the toxic messaging I received through the Purity culture of the early 2000s, along with other trauma. I am also reading "The Great Sex Rescue", which is a Christian book designed to de-program that messaging. Although I only just restarted therapy, both the book and my therapy homework have helped me to realize where all my fear of commitment and intimacy stems from, and how it has been downloaded to my body.

[remissao]

Hey, gret video, very elucidative. I'd just change the title to "What is trauma and how it can come up as fear of commitment". Because everyone in the world needs much to understand what is trauma.

[juliemartinez]

This was absolutely beautiful I hope you guys continue to do this. When you spoke about the angry parent I related so much you described it perfectly.

[shamstam]

Love this topic! Excited to watch the video. Just gotta say that the volume mixing startled me again 😅 intro song is way too loud, ,

[CrystalBrightz]

A book I recommend is The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders by John E. Sarno, M.D..

The book expands upon the fact that trauma is held in the body and its tissues, and further details what physical impacts trauma has.

[alyssalewis]

I've never seen some of these personality traits that I hate/reset about myself as "coping mechanisms" from my body trying to protect myself. That context really helped my identify some of the beliefs and behaviors that I've always felt hopeless to change. Excited about how this could reboot my therapy efforts, but definitely scared I'm not strong enough!

[brittanywilcox]

Oh hi thank you for knowing exactly what my childhood was like

[raquelmarcalsantos]

Wow, that hit close to home (literally, actually). Lots to talk about in my next therapy sessions…

[gabrielarg]

When I finally broke down i was also diagnosed with Sjogren syndrome. The connection between mind and body is incredible.

[philipppiier]
