Thank you for doing this talk. It was extremely helpful for me as someone with hEDS, functional neurological disorder, and DID. I don’t have any childhood traumatic memories but I have the hypervigilance and random triggers that I don’t understand that will cause me to get way more upset than the situation calls for. My therapist actually uses the term big and little t traumas so it was so cool to hear the theory behind that. I love that now I don’t have to feel stupid or ashamed any time I get afraid about ending up in a wheelchair in the future because I understand that the emotional part of my brain thinks it’s happening now and that’s why I feel so upset.

Thank you! That was very helpful and informative!

Wow!! I am so grateful for this !

I really wish my last therapist had watched this.

Propranolol is a beta blocker, not an anxiety medication. Possibly people use it *off label* for anxiety, but that is not what that med is FOR.

This brings to mind the work of Gabor Mate. I recommend his books.

Where does abandonment at 18 months old fall? Is that big t or little t. It's a deep wound I feel in my core without actually having the memory.

I am gonna start doing EFT again.

DBT worked way better for my traumas than CBT. EFT and EMDR are helpful along with co-regulating with therapist or other safe person and somatic/ polyvegal treatments. I honestly really disliked CBT.
