Summary

TLDRDieses Video skizziert die komplexen Schritte, die notwendig sind, um aus der 'Einfrieren-Antwort' herauszukommen, eine oft traumatisch bedingte psychologische Reaktion. Es betont die Bedeutung von Sicherheit - sowohl extern in der Umwelt als auch intern im eigenen Gefühlsgeflecht - und die Notwendigkeit, mit intensiven Emotionen umzugehen, ohne abzuschalten. Die Sprecherin verwendet das Beispiel eines Hoberman-Sphären-Spielzeugs, um die 'Einfrieren-Antwort' zu veranschaulichen und diskutiert, wie frühe traumatische Erfahrungen zu chronischen Erkrankungen im späteren Leben führen können. Sie betont, dass das Verständnis dieser Reaktion und die Schaffung von Sicherheit Schlüsselelemente für die Befreiung aus dieser Zustand sind.

Takeaways

  • 🧠 Die Freisetzung aus dem Freeze-Status ist ein komplizierter Prozess, der Zeit und Übung erfordert, da wir keine einfachen Wesen sind.
  • 🔄 Der Freeze-Status kann ein Leben lang andauern, was oft das Ergebnis von Trauma, Widrigkeiten und Stress ist.
  • 🌐 Um aus dem Freeze herauszukommen, müssen wir uns auf drei Hauptaspekte konzentrieren: Umweltsicherheit, innere empfundene Sicherheit und die Fähigkeit, mit starken Emotionen umzugehen.
  • 🏠 Umweltsicherheit bedeutet, dass die äußeren Bedingungen stabil und sicher sind, was für die Heilung notwendig ist.
  • 🤲 Die innere empfundene Sicherheit kann durch das Finden eines weniger schmerzhaften Körperbereichs oder einer Aktivität, die Sicherheit vermittelt, gefördert werden.
  • 😨 Der Freeze-Status verbergen oft starke Emotionen wie Furcht, Schmerz und Wut, die früher unterdrückt wurden.
  • 👶 Die Entwicklung eines kindlichen Nervensystems kann durch fehlende Regulation beeinträchtigt werden, was zu einer Lebenslangen Suche nach Sicherheit führt.
  • 🛡️ Die Regeneration erfordert das Aufbauen von Regulation, sei es durch Selbststudium oder durch Unterstützung in der Umsetzung.
  • 🚑 Die Verbindung zwischen frühem Trauma und chronischen Erkrankungen später im Leben zeigt die Dringlichkeit, die Regulation und Sicherheit zu erreichen.
  • 💪 Die Fähigkeit, starke Emotionen ohne Abdrift zu empfinden, ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des Prozesses, um den Freeze-Status zu überwinden.
  • 🚫 Der Freeze-Status, Fight- oder Flight-Reaktionen sind nicht böse; sie sind nützlich, müssen aber korrekt reguliert werden.
  • 🌱 Die Regeneration ist ein kontinuierlicher Prozess, der das Verständnis und die Anwendung von grundlegenden Konzepten voraussetzt, ähnlich wie in der Mathematik.

Q & A

  • Was ist die 'Freeze-Antwort' und wie kann man daraus herauskommen?

    -Die 'Freeze-Antwort' ist eine Reaktion des Körpers, die auf Trauma, Widrigkeiten oder Stress zurückzuführen ist. Um daraus herauszukommen, muss man sich mit drei Hauptpunkten befassen: Sicherheit gewährleisten, eine gefühlte Sicherheit intern entwickeln und die darunter liegenden Emotionen und Schmerzen bewältigen.

  • Was bedeutet 'Sicherheit' im Kontext der 'Freeze-Antwort'?

    -Sicherheit bezieht sich auf die physische Sicherheit der Umgebung sowie auf die Entwicklung einer gefühlten Sicherheit innerhalb des eigenen Körpers und Geistes.

  • Wie kann man eine gefühlte Sicherheit intern entwickeln?

    -Man kann eine gefühlte Sicherheit intern entwickeln, indem man einen Körperspart findet, der weniger Schmerz verursacht, und sich dort fokussiert, um ein kleines Maß an Sicherheit und Entspannung zu erleben.

  • Was ist der Unterschied zwischen 'Fight, Flight, Freeze' und der 'Shutdown-Reaktion'?

    -Die 'Fight, Flight, Freeze'-Reaktion ist eine生物学ische Antwort auf Stress, während die 'Shutdown-Reaktion' eine stärkere, dauerhafte Form davon ist, die oft durch Trauma oder anhaltenden Stress verursacht wird.

  • Was sind einige der gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen, die mit der 'Shutdown-Reaktion' verbunden sind?

    -Mit der 'Shutdown-Reaktion' können Immunstoffschwierigkeiten, chronischer Schmerz, Darmentzündung, Muskelschmerzen, kardiovaskuläre Probleme und eine niedrige Blutdruckregulation einhergehen.

  • Wie hängt die 'Shutdown-Reaktion' mit der Entwicklung von chronischen Erkrankungen zusammen?

    -Die 'Shutdown-Reaktion' kann zu einer dysregulierten Nervensystemfunktion führen, was wiederum eine Verbindung zu frühen Widrigkeiten und chronischen Erkrankungen später im Leben aufweist.

  • Was ist die Bedeutung von 'Intraozeption' in Bezug auf die Emotionen im Körper?

    -Intraozeption bezieht sich auf die Fähigkeit, die inneren Empfindungen und Zustände des Körpers, insbesondere in Bezug auf Emotionen, wahrzunehmen und zu interpretieren.

  • Wie kann man die darunter liegenden Emotionen und Schmerzen bewältigen, die mit der 'Freeze-Antwort' verbunden sind?

    -Man muss bereit sein, die Intensität der Emotionen und Schmerzen zu empfinden und sich nicht abzuschalten oder zu entfremden, sondern sich mit ihnen auseinandersetzen und sie akzeptieren.

  • Was ist 'Dissoziation' und wie wird sie im Kontext der 'Freeze-Antwort' ausgedrückt?

    -Dissoziation ist ein Zustand, in dem die Person die Realität vorübergehend nicht wahrnimmt oder sich von ihr abkoppelt, um Intensitäten zu vermeiden, die sie nicht verarbeiten kann.

  • Was sind die Hauptschritte, um aus der 'Freeze-Antwort' herauszukommen, wie in dem Video beschrieben?

    -Die Hauptschritte um aus der 'Freeze-Antwort' herauszukommen, umfassen das Erlernen über das Konzept, die Gewährleistung von Umweltsicherheit, die Entwicklung einer internen gefühlten Sicherheit und das Aushalten von starken Emotionen und Schmerzen.

  • Was ist der Zusammenhang zwischen frühen Widrigkeiten und der Entwicklung von Selbstregulation?

    -Frühe Widrigkeiten können die Entwicklung von Selbstregulation beeinträchtigen, da sie die Fähigkeit verhindern können, von einem attunierten Pfleger gelernt zu werden, was zu einer Lebenszeit von dysregulierten Nervensystemfunktionen führen kann.

  • Wie kann man die 'Freeze-Antwort' im Alltag erkennen?

    -Die 'Freeze-Antwort' kann im Alltag durch eine Vielzahl von Anzeichen erkannt werden, darunter eine reduzierte Fähigkeit zur Konzentration, eine Verringerung der Kreativität, eine ständige seelische oder körperliche Starre und eine allgemeine Unfähigkeit, Emotionen auszudrücken.

  • Was ist die Rolle von Emotionen im Körper in Bezug auf die 'Freeze-Antwort'?

    -Emotionen, die im Körper gespeichert sind, können eine wichtige Rolle bei der 'Freeze-Antwort' spielen, da sie oft unterdrückt oder nicht verarbeitet werden, was zu einer Dysregulation des Nervensystems führen kann.

  • Wie kann man die Fähigkeit verbessern, Emotionen im Körper zu spüren und zu verarbeiten?

    -Man kann die Fähigkeit verbessern, Emotionen im Körper zu spüren und zu verarbeiten, indem man sich bewusst mit diesen Emotionen auseinandersetzt, sie akzeptiert und sie nicht unterdrückt, sowie durch die Praxis der Achtsamkeit und des Körperbewusstseins.

😐 Aus dem Gefriermodus befreien

Dieses Video skizziert, wie man aus dem Gefriermodus, eine oft traumatische Reaktion, herauskommt. Es erfordert ein Verständnis für die Grundlagen der Traumawirkung und kann durch den Abschnitt 'Show more' unter dem Video gefunden werden. Der Hauptfokus liegt auf der Bedeutung der Sicherheit, der inneren Wahrnehmung von Sicherheit und der Notwendigkeit, mit starken Emotionen umzugehen, ohne in einen Shutdown zu geraten.

05:01

🔒 Sicherheit als Grundlage

Der zweite Absatz betont die Bedeutung von Sicherheit, sowohl extern in der Umgebung als auch intern im eigenen Körpergefühl. Es wird erläutert, wie man in einer unsicheren Umgebung oder im eigenen Körper Gefühls-Sicherheit sucht, um aus dem Gefriermodus zu kommen. Dies beinhaltet das Finden von Körperstellen mit weniger Schmerz oder das Erkennen, dass unter dem Gefriermodus oft stärkere Emotionen wie Furcht und Schmerz verborgen liegen.

10:02

🌐 Emotionale Landschaft und Intraozeption

In diesem Absatz wird die Rolle der Intraozeption und der emotionalen Landschaft im Körper diskutiert. Es wird erklärt, dass Emotionen und Empfindungen im Körper zentral verortet sind und wie wichtig es ist, diese zu spüren und zu akzeptieren, ohne in einen Shutdown zu geraten. Der Fokus liegt auf der Notwendigkeit, die emotionale Wahrnehmung im Körper zu fördern und die Fähigkeit zu entwickeln, starke Emotionen zu ertragen.

15:04

🚸 Entwicklung und Regulierung

Der vierte Absatz spricht über die Bedeutung der Entwicklung und Regulation im frühen Leben. Es wird betont, dass Menschen, die in einer unregulierten Umgebung aufwuchsen, möglicherweise keine Vorlage für Sicherheit oder emotionale Regulation haben. Diese Person muss diese Fähigkeiten neu erlernen, um aus dem Gefriermodus herauszukommen und gesund zu bleiben. Die Herausforderungen der Entwicklungstrauma und die Notwendigkeit, Selbstregulation neu zu erlernen, werden hier behandelt.

Keywords

💡Freeze Response

Der 'Freeze Response' ist eine der drei Hauptreaktionen des Körpers auf Stress oder Bedrohungen, neben 'Fight' und 'Flight'. Im Video wird erläutert, dass es schwierig ist, aus diesem Zustand herauszukommen, da er oft das Ergebnis von Trauma, Widrigkeiten oder Stress ist. Im Kontext des Skripts wird darauf hingewiesen, dass viele Menschen in einem chronischen 'Freeze'-Zustand leben können, was zu gesundheitlichen Problemen führen kann.

💡Trauma

Trauma ist ein tiefgreifendes psychologisches Schockereignis, das oft schwerwiegende Auswirkungen auf das emotionale Wohlbefinden und die physische Gesundheit hat. Im Video wird besprochen, dass die 'Freeze Response' häufig die Folge von Trauma ist und dass die Überwindung dieses Zustandes ein zentrales Thema des Videos ist.

💡Safety

Sicherheit ist ein Schlüsselbegriff im Video, der sowohl die physische Sicherheit in der Umwelt als auch die innere, empfundene Sicherheit umfasst. Im Video wird betont, dass die Schaffung von Sicherheit ein erster Schritt ist, um aus der 'Freeze Response' herauszukommen, und dass dies sowohl im physischen Umfeld als auch innerhalb des eigenen Körpers geschehen muss.

💡Shut Down

Der Begriff 'Shut Down' bezieht sich auf den Zustand, in dem das System des Körpers oder der Geist ausgeschaltet wird, als Reaktion auf eine Bedrohung oder ein Trauma. Im Video wird dies als ein Symptom der 'Freeze Response' beschrieben, das zu gesundheitlichen Problemen wie chronischem Schmerz oder Immunstörungen führen kann.

💡Dysregulation

Die 'Dysregulation' bezieht sich auf eine Störung der normalen Funktion eines Systems, in diesem Fall die des Nervensystems. Im Video wird erläutert, dass eine 'Freeze Response' oft zu einer Dysregulation des Nervensystems führt, was wiederum zu einer Vielzahl von gesundheitlichen Problemen beiträgt.

💡Internal Felt Sense of Safety

Der 'Internal Felt Sense of Safety' ist das Gefühl der Sicherheit, das innerhalb des eigenen Körpers empfunden wird. Im Video wird dies als ein wichtiger Schritt beschrieben, um aus der 'Freeze Response' herauszukommen, indem man sich auf einen kleinen, weniger schmerzhaften Bereich im Körper konzentriert und diesen als Ausgangspunkt für die Schaffung von innerer Sicherheit nutzt.

💡Emotions

Emotionen sind die in dem Video als zentral für das Verständnis der 'Freeze Response' und ihrer Überwindung dargestellt. Es wird erklärt, dass starke Emotionen, die während der Kindheit unterdrückt wurden, im Körper eingeschlossen werden und später zu Problemen führen können. Die Fähigkeit, diese Emotionen zu empfinden und auszudrücken, ist entscheidend für die Heilung.

💡Intraoception

Intraoception ist der Sinn für das, was im eigenen Körper passiert, einschließlich des Bewusstseins für Emotionen und Empfindungen im Bereich von Herz, Lungen, Leber, Darm und Fortpflanzung. Im Video wird dies als wichtiger Faktor für die Selbstheilung und das Verständnis der 'Freeze Response' hervorgehoben.

💡Dissociation

Dissociation ist ein Zustand, in dem die Person eine Entfernung von ihren Emotionen oder der Realität empfindet, oft als Reaktion auf eine unverträgliche oder schmerzhafte Erfahrung. Im Video wird Dissociation als ein Symptom beschrieben, das auftritt, wenn die Person die Intensität ihrer Emotionen nicht ertragen kann und sich daher abwendet.

💡Regulation

Regulation bezieht sich auf die Fähigkeit, die emotionale und physische Reaktion auf Stress oder Bedrohungen zu steuern und wieder ins Gleichgewicht zu bringen. Im Video wird betont, dass die Fähigkeit, aus der 'Fight, Flight, Freeze'-Reaktion herauszukommen und die Regulation wiederherzustellen, entscheidend für die Überwindung der 'Freeze Response' ist.

Highlights

Irene introduces the video's focus on overcoming the freeze response, a complex issue related to trauma and stress.

She emphasizes there's no simple answer to coming out of freeze, highlighting the need for understanding the complexity of human responses.

Irene explains the importance of the freeze response as part of the fight, flight, freeze survival mechanism.

Using a Hoberman sphere, Irene illustrates the concept of system shutdown in the freeze response.

She discusses the impact of living in a chronic freeze state, leading to compromised health and reduced life quality.

Irene addresses the connection between childhood adversity, emotional abuse, and the development of the freeze response.

She points out the adverse childhood experiences study, linking early trauma to chronic illness later in life.

Irene stresses the necessity of establishing safety, both externally in the environment and internally within oneself, to begin healing from freeze.

The concept of finding a 'felt sense of safety' within the body, even amidst chronic pain, is introduced as a method for internal safety.

Irene explains the importance of acknowledging and being with the intense emotions and sensations that are often suppressed in the freeze state.

She discusses the role of education in understanding the freeze response and the steps needed to overcome it.

Irene touches on the idea that fight, flight, and freeze are not the enemy but necessary survival mechanisms that need proper regulation.

The video addresses the challenge of those who never experienced proper regulation, needing to learn these skills from scratch.

Dissociation is explained as a response to overwhelming intensity, which is a part of the work in overcoming freeze.

Irene emphasizes the importance of being able to tolerate and stay with intense emotions without shutting off.

The video concludes by reiterating the complexity of the task of rebuilding a system that may never have been properly built, especially in cases of chronic illness.

play00:00

hey you guys irene here welcome to this

play00:02

video welcome to this youtube channel

play00:03

thank you for being here i appreciate it

play00:06

i answered a question in a longer

play00:08

facebook live that i did it was a q a

play00:10

call in relationship to my healing

play00:13

trauma video series so i've linked up

play00:16

all those pieces below this in the show

play00:18

more section now

play00:19

i answer in this longer q a the question

play00:23

which is how does one come out of the

play00:26

freeze response this is not a

play00:29

quick and easy answer to dive into

play00:32

it or question i should say the answer

play00:34

is complicated and it takes a little bit

play00:36

of time to explain it because we are not

play00:39

simple creatures so in this youtube

play00:42

video you will get an overview of sort

play00:45

of the three things that we need to pay

play00:47

attention to and understand and practice

play00:49

so we can come out of a freeze response

play00:52

or really in many ways it's being in a

play00:54

chronic freeze throughout our entire

play00:57

life which is usually a result of trauma

play00:59

adversity stress

play01:01

and all of the above so enjoy this video

play01:03

take good care

play01:05

so the question that i actually posed

play01:08

was how does someone come out of freeze

play01:10

there isn't one answer

play01:12

okay so again

play01:15

if you haven't watched the healing

play01:16

trauma videos

play01:18

make sure you watch them because it

play01:19

forms it's kind of like

play01:22

understanding basic math before doing

play01:24

calculus you need to understand the

play01:26

basics first the freeze response fight

play01:29

flight freeze

play01:30

that's if i use this fun toy again

play01:33

right

play01:34

this is called a hoberman sphere you can

play01:36

get it at a toy store

play01:38

um it's shut down so the system is

play01:41

literally like

play01:43

it's tight it's shut down it's frozen

play01:46

what's interesting

play01:48

it isn't being like passed out the

play01:50

extreme of shutdown is like the idea of

play01:54

like playing possum if you've ever

play01:57

googled possum don't do that right now

play02:00

maybe do it afterwards the possum

play02:02

response is a very unique one and as

play02:04

soon as they feel any threat they

play02:06

literally

play02:07

fall over and they're like frozen that's

play02:09

an extreme of fear

play02:12

many people are living

play02:14

semi-functional

play02:16

kind of lives in

play02:19

some form of shutdown response but

play02:22

they're still awake they're still

play02:23

conscious they're still able to go

play02:25

through university be medical doctors

play02:27

right parent

play02:29

kind of

play02:31

so

play02:31

when someone is in

play02:34

some spectrum of freeze

play02:37

that is putting their system into a

play02:39

compromised health space i talked about

play02:43

this at the beginning so immune system

play02:45

troubles chronic pain

play02:47

um

play02:48

bowels digestion that doesn't doesn't

play02:51

work lots of muscle pain cardiovascular

play02:54

problems really low blood pressure

play02:56

um

play02:59

all of it inability to focus right no

play03:02

ability to have creativity because we're

play03:05

living in so much shutdown we go into

play03:07

freeze

play03:09

when we can't fight or flee

play03:12

so this is the conundrum of the child

play03:15

who is stuck in a abusive doesn't have

play03:17

to be physically or sexually abusive it

play03:19

can be emotionally abusive some of the

play03:22

worst

play03:23

trauma i witness

play03:25

is in affluent households

play03:28

where

play03:29

the child

play03:30

can't be perfect enough parents demand

play03:32

so much and they literally

play03:35

shut down they seclude into just reading

play03:37

books and they become the really good

play03:40

kid because they're so good

play03:42

but what happens a lot

play03:45

and i know this is a generalization

play03:48

but they realize it's better for them to

play03:50

just be really quiet and really insular

play03:52

and just read because then they don't

play03:54

get into trouble

play03:55

right but in that they're also shutting

play03:57

down the capacity to feel the capacity

play04:00

to be vibrant to be full of life force

play04:03

and energy and spunky and creative

play04:07

so we shut this stuff down

play04:09

also of course if there is horrific

play04:11

abuse a little one will survive by

play04:14

shutting down okay this then follows

play04:17

into adult life into teenage life and

play04:20

then as we know from the ace study the

play04:22

adverse childhood experiences study

play04:24

which is

play04:25

the study that

play04:27

pretty much

play04:28

gives us the knowledge that there is a

play04:31

solid connection between

play04:33

early

play04:34

adversity and chronic illness later in

play04:37

life which is pretty much always a

play04:39

person is in some form of shutdown when

play04:41

we're in that shutdown under it

play04:44

is a lot of fight

play04:46

and a lot of flea energy and a lot of

play04:48

terror and a lot of emotion and a lot of

play04:51

pain

play04:52

so to come out of that freeze first

play04:54

thing

play04:55

is we need to establish safety so safety

play04:58

is the first one and

play04:59

on this

play05:01

lovely sheet from video number three

play05:04

safety

play05:05

i can't do this upside down safety

play05:08

right

play05:09

that means first of all is it safe in

play05:12

the environment so this goes back to

play05:13

what jill was asking the environment

play05:16

isn't safe it's really tough to do this

play05:18

work because our

play05:21

unconscious

play05:23

brain and this isn't just the amygdala

play05:25

it's our brain stem

play05:26

our central nervous system

play05:28

is like

play05:31

we are in danger still even though i'm

play05:33

not being hit

play05:35

or there's not a flood running through

play05:36

my house i can't be me

play05:40

it's just like that child

play05:42

i can't

play05:44

sing

play05:46

when i want to you know i've been told

play05:47

to shut up i've been told that's silly

play05:50

don't do that right

play05:53

so

play05:54

if we can't

play05:55

express

play05:57

it's really tough to have safety so

play06:00

there's safety physically so clearly

play06:02

being in a war-torn zone or in a flood

play06:04

or earthquake you know disastrous ruins

play06:08

isn't going to be safe but let's just

play06:11

say

play06:11

that things are safe in the environment

play06:14

but in the environment inside the house

play06:16

there's friction there's tension

play06:19

that needs to shift

play06:21

if that's impossible

play06:23

then the next thing is how can a person

play06:26

find safety inside

play06:28

so again these are not mutually

play06:30

exclusive it might mean that one we do a

play06:32

little bit and then maybe that person

play06:35

finds safety once a week because they go

play06:38

see a friend for tea and that gives them

play06:41

a feeling of safety like ah this feels

play06:43

good

play06:44

so let's just say

play06:47

environmental safety is important so

play06:48

that's number one

play06:50

number two

play06:52

how can we cultivate a felt sense of

play06:54

safety internally so let's take an

play06:57

example of someone that has really um

play06:59

chronic pain

play07:01

the question to find or to ask is how

play07:04

can we

play07:06

find somewhere in the body

play07:08

that is a little less painful

play07:11

it isn't useful to say i want you to

play07:13

find somewhere in your body that has no

play07:15

pain for someone that has really chronic

play07:17

pain that would be

play07:19

a very

play07:20

hard thing to do

play07:22

so it might be is there somewhere that

play07:24

has a little less pain and that might

play07:26

they might go well this is going to

play07:27

sound really strange but my thumb feels

play07:30

fine i'm like great well let's feel this

play07:32

thumb

play07:34

right

play07:35

or maybe it's like my ears feel pretty

play07:37

okay i'm like well let's just touch

play07:39

those

play07:40

and you might be surprised that when we

play07:42

find a little spot a little opening if i

play07:45

come back to this

play07:47

that little tiny opening

play07:50

to experience a little bit of safety a

play07:52

little less pain it takes up a portion

play07:56

of the brain a portion of the brain that

play07:58

is focused always on the worst

play08:00

all of a sudden is like oh

play08:03

that's a little bit better

play08:06

and then it's our job whether it's

play08:08

one-on-one but it's my job in this

play08:11

program to then say that

play08:15

focus on that

play08:17

and as small as it is pretend it is a

play08:20

mountain it's like everest and it's so

play08:23

cool that you can find that one spot

play08:25

because if you can find one spot that

play08:27

means you can probably find another spot

play08:29

we want to cultivate this internal

play08:32

felt sense

play08:33

safety it does not mean that everything

play08:35

is perfect but it's the possibility that

play08:38

there can be somewhere that's a little

play08:40

less painful so that's the second thing

play08:42

so safety externally finding more safety

play08:45

internally the third would be

play08:48

knowing that underneath this

play08:51

shutdown

play08:53

inside the system is a shitload part of

play08:56

my french

play08:58

but a lot of

play09:00

terror

play09:01

and a lot more emotion and maybe a lot

play09:03

more pain

play09:05

but that's the stuff that was stuffed

play09:07

inside when you couldn't feel it and

play09:09

express it and be with it when you were

play09:11

really young because a little person

play09:15

this is you know where my heart breaks

play09:17

for little people whose parents are

play09:19

attuned to this

play09:20

they don't understand their emotions

play09:22

they're brand new human beings

play09:24

therefore if we don't have an attuned

play09:27

caregiver which is the case for many

play09:29

people

play09:30

right of us here

play09:32

there's going to be

play09:33

painful emotions painful memories times

play09:36

when we wanted to cry and we had to

play09:39

hold it in our chest why do you think so

play09:41

many people have tightness in their

play09:43

chest tightness in their throat

play09:45

tightness in their gut it's because

play09:48

we had to hold that in

play09:50

and not express it

play09:52

right the one thing that we think of is

play09:54

that emotions are in the head and in the

play09:56

brain we interpret that in the brain

play09:59

but the emotion and the sensation

play10:01

are in the body from like the neck to

play10:04

the groin this is where everything lives

play10:06

emotionally sensorially of course i can

play10:09

feel my arm

play10:11

right in my my extremities but usually

play10:13

when someone has a real deep sense of

play10:16

sadness or anger or grief it's never in

play10:18

the elbow right

play10:20

usually not it's never in the toe or the

play10:23

knee unless of course they had an injury

play10:25

there

play10:26

but typically

play10:28

the the grief or the pain

play10:31

emotional pain associated let's say with

play10:34

a broken leg will not be in the leg

play10:37

it'll be somewhere in this core

play10:40

right

play10:42

so if you just

play10:43

touch this area

play10:46

gently doesn't have to be your heart it

play10:48

could be the lung area the liver

play10:51

the guts the groin

play10:53

like all this area

play10:56

is sort of

play10:58

the field of emotion and when we have

play11:00

frozen-ness in the body when we've had

play11:02

to shut down our emotion this whole area

play11:05

gets shut down

play11:06

this is called intraoception i talk

play11:08

about this in video number two

play11:11

um the seven ways to become your own

play11:12

medicine to become our own medicine we

play11:14

have to learn how to listen to the

play11:16

landscape that is our viscera that is

play11:19

our heart and the blood that flows

play11:21

through in our digestion and our

play11:22

reproduction and

play11:24

all of that stuff

play11:27

so we have to be able to be with

play11:29

right so the first thing with coming out

play11:31

of freeze is is well first of all it's

play11:33

education it's understanding that it

play11:35

even exists

play11:37

the second

play11:38

is

play11:39

environmental safety the third is

play11:42

internal felt sense safety and then the

play11:45

fourth would be

play11:46

knowing

play11:47

that there are going to be very tough

play11:50

qualities that we once held on to that

play11:54

are still there that we will want to be

play11:56

able to be with i always say um

play11:59

we have to be willing to not fear fear

play12:03

that was an article that i wrote

play12:05

maybe a month or so ago that article

play12:07

started out as i never finished it the

play12:10

full article was what we have to do in

play12:12

order to heal and the first the first

play12:14

point was we have to be willing to not

play12:16

fear fear that sounds kind of like oh

play12:19

well that's easy it's not easy it takes

play12:22

time but we have to realize that fear is

play12:25

not the problem

play12:27

we need fear

play12:28

if all of a sudden

play12:30

uh something came rummaging into my

play12:32

house like a burglar i would want to be

play12:35

afraid

play12:36

right if i froze

play12:38

that would not be useful

play12:41

for me i would want to run upstairs find

play12:43

a way to hide that fear response is

play12:45

going to protect me

play12:47

right

play12:48

but what happens is when we've had too

play12:50

many of these threatening responses in

play12:52

our lifetime

play12:53

we become overloaded and then that's

play12:55

where we shut down and we stop knowing

play12:58

how to deal with these reactions and

play13:00

then that's where we hold on to emotion

play13:03

it gets stuck in the body and the body

play13:06

literally can't hold on to it anymore

play13:08

and then that's where

play13:10

the nervous system becomes dysregulated

play13:12

which is what i first started talking

play13:13

about well over an hour ago when that

play13:16

question was asked what are the signs of

play13:18

a dysregulated nervous system

play13:21

right that's what it is

play13:23

so

play13:26

fight flight and freeze are not bad

play13:30

they're not the enemy

play13:31

right we need those this is one thing

play13:34

that's really important to understand

play13:36

when you finish this work

play13:39

that doesn't even make sense because

play13:41

there is no finish in other words

play13:44

even when a person is regulated they

play13:46

will still have to navigate stresses and

play13:49

fear responses

play13:50

right if someone

play13:52

gets so into an accident we will we want

play13:54

their system to mobilize

play13:57

and attack and flood the system with

play13:59

appropriate healing mechanisms but then

play14:01

we want to come down out of it and

play14:04

that's the part that we've really missed

play14:05

which is what i talk about in video

play14:06

number two this capacity to come out of

play14:08

our fight flight freeze and restore

play14:11

regulation back to the system now

play14:14

of course if someone

play14:16

um has never experienced regulation so

play14:20

this is the caveat that can be really

play14:22

tough sometimes to swallow but it's

play14:25

important to understand

play14:27

if there was no regulation from the

play14:29

beginning

play14:30

right so if a person really was born

play14:33

into a very toxic household and mom was

play14:36

frightened for her life when she was

play14:38

pregnant because she never resolved her

play14:39

own traumas therefore she got into an

play14:42

abusive relationship and your

play14:44

grandparents aren't helpful and all this

play14:46

stuff

play14:47

if a little person never

play14:49

got solid

play14:51

regulation

play14:53

this is what developmental trauma is

play14:55

early trauma

play14:56

they don't have a map for what it means

play14:59

to be safe

play15:00

everything is dangerous the world is a

play15:03

dangerous place and we're all gonna die

play15:06

that's what my mentor kathy kane that's

play15:08

like the buzzwords that she uses when a

play15:12

person has that

play15:14

rubric that the world is a dangerous

play15:16

place we're all going to die i need to

play15:18

protect i need to stay vigilant this is

play15:20

the case for most people that have some

play15:23

kind of mental illness or chronic

play15:24

illness we need to first of all realize

play15:27

okay

play15:29

you have no map right it's like telling

play15:31

someone

play15:32

i want you to drive from

play15:35

uh

play15:36

paris to rome

play15:38

here's a car here's the gas

play15:42

here's money

play15:44

all you've got everything you need this

play15:46

is but then they they look at the car

play15:48

and they go but no one ever taught me

play15:50

how to drive

play15:51

i can't get from paris to rome it's the

play15:54

same kind of thing so

play15:56

in this work

play15:57

some folks did learn how to drive really

play16:00

well

play16:01

right they had good regulation but then

play16:03

they had a shock trauma along the way

play16:05

that threw them off

play16:06

right this work is still important for

play16:08

that person because in our culture we've

play16:10

been taught to just kind of shut off our

play16:12

emotions but the folks that didn't get

play16:15

that driving lesson when they were

play16:16

little that didn't understand

play16:19

they didn't learn how to shift gears and

play16:21

to look both ways and to feel the engine

play16:24

of the car

play16:25

and you know all these things that make

play16:27

a good driver

play16:28

if they didn't get that we need to

play16:30

literally teach cable this is a car

play16:33

right it takes fuel

play16:35

right

play16:36

you need to make sure that you know you

play16:39

look both ways before you see the red

play16:41

light there these are the things when

play16:43

it's when a little person hasn't gotten

play16:46

the good self-regulation

play16:48

apprenticeship from a regulated

play16:51

caregiver

play16:53

we need to reteach that stuff so this

play16:56

question of you know what does it take

play16:57

to come out of freeze this is what it

play16:59

comes down to it seems really like oh my

play17:02

god that's a lot of work

play17:05

it is a lot of work it takes a lot to

play17:07

rebuild a system that never got built

play17:09

properly in the first place

play17:11

and most of those listening who have

play17:14

chronic really chronic illness if you're

play17:17

someone who works with people who have

play17:19

chronic illness this is the level that

play17:21

we have to come back to

play17:23

safety external safety internal and then

play17:27

being able to be with really intense

play17:31

intense

play17:32

fright and fear

play17:34

emotions feeling sensations without

play17:37

disconnecting

play17:39

there is a question here how is

play17:41

dissociation expressed

play17:43

dissociation is what occurs when we

play17:45

can't handle something that's intense

play17:48

so part of this work is being able to

play17:52

feel intensity and not shut off

play17:55

not blank out

play17:57

right it's being able to sense the

play17:59

intense

play18:02

fright and go

play18:03

i'm so scared right now and i'm just

play18:05

going to stay with it because i can tell

play18:07

and i see around me that no one's trying

play18:09

to harm me i'm actually okay

play18:11

but everything written in my body would

play18:14

say otherwise

play18:16

[Music]

play18:28
