Narcissists and psychopaths need people to exploit, abuse, control and hurt sadistic as they are. It's been like that since the beginning of time, because they even wrote an ancient book on the issue, called The Bible. It's been an arms race between the sadists and the rest of empathic, sociable people. Today, the means of control are so subversive that we feel traumatised without even knowing where it's coming from. So, on the contrary, society is becoming worse, not softer.

My mother suffered for over a decade from Parkinsons disease, and then to make things worse got dementia too. She had an incredibly difficult and stressful childhood, coupled with a traumatic adult life at the hads of a volitile and dangerous husband. I have ALWAYS believed the sustained trauma she suffered on and off over her life changed her brain, and ultimately contributed to her parkinsons disease. Her neurologist downplayed the impact but i know it in my gut to be true. You cant live through what my mother did and not come out forever damaged.

Sorry for the loss of your mother. Autistic catatonia is frequently misdiagnosed as dementia. The vast majority of autism in the world is undiagnosed unaware and intellectually compensating. Telling you this to validate your intuition, not provoke anger or regret. Alzheimer's is an egodecompensatory end stage regression, but if she didn't have Alzheimer's the Parkinson's makes me think it might've been misdiagnosed autistic catatonia.

This is on point! I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder about 14 years ago. And have been on meds since. I found out a year and a half ago that I actually have complex PTSD from chronic and ongoing trauma I experienced from my childhood, teen years, and young adult life. Grief, abuse, neglect, sexual trauma, etc. I knew my childhood was F’d, but I didn’t realize I had PTSD. Didn’t even know someone not in the military could have PTSD. I was in treatment 6 months out of 2023 due to a lifelong battle of addiction/substance abuse disorder. I am doing better now and my awareness of triggers has increased to the point that I am able to apply newly learned coping skills to get through really big feelings that I’ve always stuffed my entire life. I was living in survival mode for nearly my entire 39 years of life. Nobody should have to live this way. I’m on a mission as well to help continue this conversation and make it more common knowledge!

@AcceptandAct Місяць тому

Trauma puts us in survival mode. Because we've experienced bad things, harm, etc. our nervous system gets stuck in hypervigilance / hyper alertness, etc. to keep us from further harm. It's just our body doing its job, trying to protect us and ensure our survival. However, we weren't designed to be in some kind of a life or death situation avoidance mode 24/7. When we don't get out of these survival modes, other important processes in the body get neglected; digestion, growth, fighting against disease, healing, learning, etc. That's why trauma and the resulting chronic survival mode can eventually cause all kinds of health problems or chronic illnesses. A combination of psychotherapy and somatic therapy works wonders for breaking these patterns and getting our health back.

@lauramonahan9343 Місяць тому

Very well said. I'm finally addressing this in my own life and have realized I'm strong as hell, but need to set these psychological burdens down.

So happy to feel like I've found a path, but it's hard daily work and small daily habits.

I took a childhood trauma therapy class online. The therapist told us about a conversation he had with a former client. I can’t remember the exact words he used. He told the man if you hit your kids you are teaching them to hit their kids. The man said, but my kids are children right now. I don’t have any grandchildren. The therapist said yes I know but you’re teaching them that this is the right way to discipline and facilitating them disciplining their kids the way you discipline them. The therapist was also talking about sexual abuse. He said that all children who are sexually abused do not grow up to sexually abuse children. However, all pedophiles were sexually abused as children. I thought that was a profound statement. What I learned overall was that any trauma a child experiences is likely to be repeated in future generations, unless that person when they become an adult is able to work through their trauma in a healthy way. I have also heard Dr. John Delony mention that trauma affects how children perceive the world and how their body responds to the world. I believe that wholeheartedly.

I am the first one in my family - on both sides to have suffered a stroke. I had searched for years and years, did so many tests to figure out how someone so healthy could have a stroke (seriously my family doctor would always say that my bloodwork is exemplary).

@brithegoddess Місяць тому

The thing he said in the beginning about reflexive guilt and shame compelling us to keep it in or hide it is so real. I find it really difficult to be understood when I try to explain the impact things had on me to my therapist, because I end up minimizing the severity of it with my delivery, I think. It's hard. He focuses so much on my actions and not enough about processing my emotions. So I know I need to switch to a trauma-informed therapist. But it also doesn't help that a lot of people think having been bullied isn't a trauma. They don't think it's that serious. It's refreshing to hear from someone who gets it.

@turtletom8383 Місяць тому

It doesn't have to be serious your making it more, are you still being bullied? Stop carrying that past and make a future. Your therapist is focused on your actions because you may think your processing something one way but you can lie to yourself your actions are the truth.

@turtletom8383 Місяць тому

You are your actions, they are the trauma one brings to the world. If the mental you isn't expressed it's just a dream. What you do is what effects others and defines you to the world the rest exists ONLY in your head.

@MindsetBliss Місяць тому

You're spot on. Bullying is/can be traumatizing for sure. I agree, processing the emotions for someone like yourself is likely exactly what you need. Emotions vs actions? Better to say emotions + actions. Similar to a road trip in a car. The actions = clear destination and driving forward. The emotions = lighten your load. Both are important for your road trip.

Eight minutes into this episode, and I thought of something, and in the scope of vegetable gardening... If you are reaching the end of your growing season and you want your tomatoes to finish ripening, you stress the plant - either by under-watering or taking a shovel to the roots.. The plant becomes stressed and will put energy into ripening fruit in order to have seeds that will survive. Omg humans are just like this. As children, we adapt much like the traumatized plant in order to survive and have even the smallest bits of us left to keep going. Fascinating.

He doesn't talk about the nervous system (part of the brain) and how trauma/high stress sets the nervous system to the sympathetic nervous system path, which in turn activates the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands produce cortisol raising blood sugar levels and then insulin. This causes inflammation in the body/immune system, which will cause auto-immune diseases. He did not even mention that a person with stored trauma not only needs talk therapy but needs to be taught how to reset their nervous system through breathing exercises/meditation.

From 4 to 16 years old I was in a total of 22 foster homes now I'm 33 2 children don't think I've had much trauma but I look back and think myself lucky to be fostered by healthy tight nit families even though some where only temporary homes 🤔 maybe I'm just different on how to deal with things to others it depends on the individual I was lucky to go abroad had good birthdays and Christmas saw my biological mum once a fortnight I was closer to my nana other than my mum we don't have that mother daughter relationship probably never will either

It’s a form of abuse, if you was in a relationship it be abuse…you can get complex PTSD from it…I was servilely bullied at a very young age till my mid 20’s…it’s definitely contributed to my PTSD as I also have an eating disorder due to the abuse…men are a big contribution to my PTSD also…I wouldn’t say it makes you ‘stronger’ it makes you traumatised…

I believe my being ill as a child and in and out of hospital in the first year is probably responsible for the mental disregulation I’ve experienced in my life. Coupled with a mother who was then hyper anxious so over-mothered me and taught me that anxiety was how you deal. Depression, agoraphobia, panic attacks, self-harm for many years. At 40 I’ve finally reached relative peace by staying single and childfree and I treasure it in comparison to how I used to be. I often get told how much younger I look than my age and I think it’s down to the work I’ve done and tools I’ve found in order to cope and crucially letting go of any shame and guilt for not being ‘normal’ or successful by modern standards. I have a lot of love in my life and I give a lot of love. That’s the best we can hope for in this Savage Garden I think 😊

I am Australian and have complex PTSD/childhood trauma. My life has been hell and still is and I'm 64. I have two grown up sons, and for various reasons won't be having children of their own. While this is heartbreaking not only for my sons, but also me, unable to be a grandmother. My psychologist (trauma specialist) and I were discussing this, and my upside to this situation is that the buck will stop. I'm not being flippant when I say this, but it's true. There will be no more epigenetic trauma being transferred on through our family. I wish people would realise ''that children are NOT RESILENT''. Wonderful human being Dr. Paul Conti is, such an interesting interview. Thank you

The body holds the score. As a person who was abused under age 6, I cannot remember my abuse in a physical sense but I do remember the feelings and how the person made me feel. I 100% believe that I will die early from a disease brought on from behaviours I have used from age 6 to cope with depression and feelings that I did not know the reason for until I started having flashbacks about my abuse. If you have not suffered CSA it will be hard to take in this realisation.

They are my saving grace. I needed a love bigger than myself to face the work and stop fighting, flighting, freezing & fawning. They give me that in abundance ❤ Also DOAC has helped me join a lot of dots & give me courage to seek help. I now journal, alongside CBT & the work is both equally painful & enlightening. The results is im more resilent & resourceful. My kids reflect back the same qualities. This is true success for me. Imagine a world with resilient and resourceful people or even just a few who can support others...

@f321christine Місяць тому

I have been living my life under a 'curse' of rejection for as long as I can remember. Both of my parents were abused as children by their parents who were abused, and the trauma goes back multiple generations on both sides of my family. My parents were kids when they had us (early 20s) and absolutely did not understand anything about themselves and their own trauma behaviors and triggers. Naturally, having young children was hugely triggering for them and they took out all their rage and control issues on us. My older sister and I are both severely messed up, and I have huge physical issues all related to rejection. I suffer from hypersensitivity/autoimmune reactions to many things--- food, mold, EMFs, medications, skincare products, etc etc etc--- as my body is actively rejecting things from the outside, even if they are perfectly safe for everyone else. I have also realized that I actively reject making connections with other people because I am afraid that I will spend the time opening up to people and then they will reject me. Because of this, I'm not usually liked anywhere I go, and then I get triggered because I sense the rejection, even though I'm technically rejecting them first by refusing to make meaningful connections in the first place. Even though I logically know this, the social fear is just too great to make any changes cognitively. My subconscious needs some serious regulation and healing.
