polyvagal

Please look up Irene Lyon on Youtube. She has a ton of science-backed trainings, Q&Asessions, special lecture series, etc., on just what you described—it’s called the “new” traumatology, and Irene is a nervous system specialist who teaches you how to access your physiology, tapping into our innate ability to heal at the cellular level. It’s the missing link to becoming our own medicine by being an apprentice of our nervous systems. This work throws all other mind-body info out of the ballpark! She’s brilliant and has combined the works of the forefathers of the “new” traumatology (team) that’s been in the making for 70+ years by some of the most brilliant forward-thinking minds on the globe who are all doctors of their specialties: Dr. Bessell Van Der Kolk from Harvard; Dr. Gabor Mate; Dr. Peter Levine; Dr. Kathy Kain; Moshe Feldenkrais; Dr. Doidge; Dr. Porges; Dr. Terrell; Dr. Robert Scaer and others—Irene combines the teachings of all of them—she learned their works-- and it’s become her life’s work—and she graciously shares it with the world in hopes we can stop raising our young incorrectly and therefore, create happier, healthier nervous systems in all! Irene hopes to have a polyvagally-informed society someday, and thus, has a real eye-opening, revolutionizing, and fascinating online program called SmartBody SmartMind. There are thousands of people from over 90 countries in the world participating in this cellular-level healing of trauma. Teachings of practices that actually work--by working with the body on the cellular level getting to the REAL, ROOT. Unfortunately western medicine looks at trauma as an event—as something that affected our mind --and therefore they try to treat the mind, and often without success of it “sticking”. Trauma is not an event, it’s what happens to the body from the event. The body traps the trauma and stores it. Dr. Van Der Kolk’s book: “The Body Keeps The Score”..is only ONE resource that scientifically proves this. Check out the following youtube videos--just learning about this traumatology science actually helps your nervous system while you’re learning it, believe it or not!  

Some of the YouTube Videos I suggest to watch are: 

 “A tribute to Dr. Vincent Felitti and the ACES study.”

 “How is trauma REALLY released?” By Irene Lyon

 “How childhood trauma affects health across a lifetime” Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, TedTalk, YouTube, published 9.12.19

 “How safe do you feel? Revolutionizing mental health with the polyvagal theory” By Dr. Porges

“Special topic lecture: Real Healing Means Real Feeling” By Irene Lyon--she has tons of videos that teach you all about the nervous system, the polyvagal theory, and trauma--from how it happens, why it happens, how it gets stored in the body, why it gets stored in the body, and what you can actually and effectively do about it! #CPTSD #Trauma   #polyvagal #nervoussystem #aces #Dissociation #fightflightfreeze
