Sorry the audio keeps cutting out and skipping or not syncing up, it was LIVE in the hills of driving. Most of the information got out though, and I may do a cleaner version later. This is about the Polyvagal Theory and how that relates to becoming more self aware or integrating the 360 mirror happening all around us, as us. When our social engagement Ventral Vagal is underdeveloped or our Dorsal Vagal; parasympathetic (freeze), or sympathetic (fight/flight) is the default our system goes into, it makes it difficult for us to learn new things about ourselves. It becomes difficult to "see" the reflection of ourselves around us (someone telling us what they see about us or in us), or we may react from a more primal fight, flight, freeze, mode versus a socially engaged mode. Shame is also heavily involved in barriers our awareness. Awareness only happens because of social engagement of some kind, weather it be positive or negative. All of our awareness comes from our relationships externally, so if we are to become more self aware, we will need to feel safety in relationships.

This video discusses "complex post traumatic stress disorder" (CPTSD) and "post traumatic stress disorder" (PTSD); the debate around the differences or similarities between the two. IE: What is mainstream saying about all of this, and what is my take on the whole thing. (I could write a whole explanation in detail about what is in this video, but that would take too long, because I hit a lot of points, so just watch it).

There are a few potential things happening when the pattern of projection shows up for us. One is that we may need to look at patterns of scapegoating/being scapegoated in our early childhood experiences. If we had this experience, we may run into people in adulthood who continuously cannot own their shame. This is a mirror of our original wound. But there is more, if these are the kinds of relationships we are attracting, then we are stuck in overlays in relationships, meaning we are not having relationships from a space of authenticity. Meaning there is a high chance we are in relationships where us or them or both are in relationship with an idea of the other person, instead of the reality of them. We may need to look at the ways in which we assume others are projecting onto us, as our own deflection mechanism, designed to avoid our own pain and shame. Projection and deflection are coping mechanisms developed by us, when the relationship models we were socialized into, ie our families, could not own their shame. In order to shift the pattern of projecting/deflecting, we need to re-own our shame. In order to shift the pattern of everyone projecting onto us, we need to integrate our painful experiences where we were not seen for who we were.

This video explains why we need to start expanding our definition of what we consider trauma. As a collective, we also need to stop minimizing trauma we would consider from the perspective of an adult to be "trivial". I also go into the fact that we need to stop pathologizing ourselves and others with "lifelong incurable but treatable by medication type mental illnesses" without seeking to understand what a persons missing needs and experiences are. The field of psychology is continuing to evolve, but we need to keep asking questions to allow for continued movement out of outdated paradigms and understandings.

Codependency is not about dependency! Veronika Biller and I talk about the common misunderstandings about codependency, what it really is, where it stems from, and how we can begin to have healthy relationships. Codependency is a style of relating the same way that narcissism is a style of having relationships, and these styles are imprinted early on in childhood

This is designed to explain why people get stuck in trauma patterns and can't seem to get out. The addiction to our suffering and how to move through trauma, integrate it and move forward in our lives. I discuss how to move through these stuck points. I also reveal some of the psychology and biology behind why we are stuck here so often to begin with.   Question to ask yourself.... In what ways does my trauma serve me? How can I get super conscious of what I get from my trauma identity? What do I get from repeating painful cycles, how is this actually serving me? If I am being honest, what am I getting from my dysfunctional coping mechanisms?

We decided to work with the part of him that did not want to be recorded (this was his decision), this was part of the reason our internet connection on his end was so shit. Once resolve is reached with his aspect, the internet connection cuts altogether almost within the same moment, and when it kicks back on I can hear his audio flawlessly. Insane.

Trauma causes us to dissociate from our bodies. In this video I explain what is actually causing sickness and ailments, and how to rebuild a relationship with your body. After all, it is the only aspect of you that can't abandon you and never will until the day you die. Your body is only ever doing what it thinks it has to do to survive, socially, emotionally and physically, it will never act against you.
