keys to healing ourselves
A lot of helpful information and I pray we get a copy of the slides. Thank you for sharing.
thank you, it was wonderful. I take really good insights about working with states of the mind.
Thank you i really enjoyed this informative lecture! It notes a number of key elements about trauma that Dr Ronald Ruden utilized to determine if an event had been encoded in the amygdala and the relevant AMPA receptors could therefore be depotentiated with Havening Techniques® . The 4 required conditions include it is an Event, which the person attached Meaning to (such as threat to life, safety or injury, threat of important loss such as reputation, social status, belonging, etc), and finally a sense of inescapability—whether due to being physically trapped or just seeing no way out (such as that poor little boy being beaten while trying to apologize). Dr. ruden is not a neurologist, tho he worked after med school on research with a noble prize winning scientist at Harvard & knew how to find & read research studies & did this for many years trying to figure out why sensory techniques, like Tapping (EFT) and EMDR were being used for trauma & how they could possibly work, before developing his theory on this and tho not his proginal goal, developed a set of touch-based psychosensory techniques that can accomplish this in often just 1 or 2 sessions, based always in generating a felt sense of safety in the amygdala of the client. I am familiar with the stress & resilience mind-body processes and a bit of neuroscience beyond that from my certifications, inc. in Havening, but i feel reviewing this wonderful in-depth presentation will add to my non-scientist understanding of trauma and its mental health effects.BTW havening is bog in Nee Zealand & the international annual conference will be there next year—Dr. Gilbert, consider yourself invited! 👏🏻💜
Excellent. Thank you very much for today’s lecture, Prof. Paul Gilbert. It has truly blessed me to be able to serve people better. Stay healthy always
Thank you very much. So insightful.
Excellent session. The session gave a clear idea of evolution of trauma, stimulus- response algorithm, how unmet needs can cause serious mental problems and concept mental mapping which plays a significant role to address trauma. compassion can bring in healing. The session shared how with compassion, a client can attain healing. Thanks for giving us opportunity to listen to Dr. Gilbert.
Excellent
Validity. Having something to give is important. How to do that, bed bound? Are you then “invalid”?
Such a person perhaps can write encouraging letters or articles, call people, make calls to get out the vote, to advocate, write a memoir, dictate if unable to write, etc… at the least, be reminded of the contributions her life has made for others—anything that allows the person to perceive & feel worth, feel their life has mattered, does matter. It’s easy for me to make such a list, of course, but the point i believe he is (rightly) making is that this IS a fundamental human need, without which one will be depressed, and this it needs to be addressed in the therapeutic treatment, especially of trauma. Being bedridden can certainly be a trauma, but there is a resilience that can be achieved & compassionate therapists will therefore aim for this & not neglect it.💜🤗.
Really enjoyed this presentation! I’ve seen these elements so many times and work so hard to help people grieve the pain and not having what they needed.
Grieving the pain. That is the key to heal ourselves. Thank you.
