“so you need a balance of dopamine in your brain to have an appropriate response to risk” laughs in adhd

Gotta appreciate channels like these continuing to provide real and factual information, spearheading against false information. There's nothing more infuriating than when people lie, especially on matters that are important and impactful.

so this is why it is so easy to get into flow state when programming, you constantly gets feedback by running the script and you have clear goals and it is challenging

Currently learning how to draw up boundaries against my parents' toxic behaviors. I needed this. Thanks.

I appreciate you guys contributing to my continuing quest for knowledge . I was wondering if you could do some episodes on PTSD and Complex PTSD . The more I understand my " dis -eases " the better I am able to deal with them . THANK YOU !

7:37 i can confirm the "REM rebound" phenomenon. whew. some intense, vivid, memorable dreams

Brain and stress? “Laughs in maddening stress” Also my brain “I’m in danger”

This is exactly what I needed since I have been stressed out for days 😓

"what's in the box?! what's in the box?!" "oh, a puppy, okay!"

It's pretty clear the modern society doesn't GAF about stress levels until it affects profit

I have felt the FLOW while doing my art . It's a wonderful and satisfying feeling . Doing what one loves !

When writing code, flow is so easy for me to achieve, I have to be careful about late night programming. Because I can, and have, multiple times, pulled accidental all-nighters

"It's hard for researchers to reliably find situations that create flow" They obviously don't know anyone with ADHD. Scan my brain while I'm doing my research sometime. I'm on hour six and still going strong.

"The Zone ", is helpful when studying. I have been blessed to find cannabis to help with migraines, Chronic Migraines. Needing to study for a big class I found it did use a little bit. I always just use a little bit because, I don't want it to stop working for my medical needs. My experience for studying took the fear on not understanding, allowing my brain to worry and my decreasing brain of function compared to what I had before my mild-Stroke. I have also seen improvement in my capacity from the time right after the Stroke, as of now it is improving.

My brain is already a compilation of stress, thanks.

I''ll be dead honest - Probably one of the most life changing educational things I needed to years ago - Thankful I learn this now. Thanks for the SciShow Psych crew who were involved in this vids, I'm including you too editors~ Y'all Rock~

My daughter and I are in equine therapy. The picture of the woman and horse snuggling is so right. That seems to be when my healing occurs the most.

I remember telling my GP that I was worried that I was addicted to dreaming, because I just wanted to stay in a dream state because my brain felt better while I was dreaming, regardless of dream genre. Even nightmares were less pained-unhappy-brain-feeling than during waking hours. My three kids are similar. If you wake them during a dream, they will cut you (or at least glare you into repentance) My kids are loveable :)

I still kind of stand by the unproven idea that dreams follow your thoughts and expectations. I've lucid dreamt before, and there's a very clear connection between what I expect/want to happen and what actually happens in those dreams.

I've been dealing wiht severe depression and other mental health issues (chronified ED, AVPD, cPTSD, anxiety issues...) for decades. I have lots of vivid and gruesome nightmares that I remember more than I would like. And I can't tell how much I miss it to experience flow. Has been years.... great video

When I'm really stressed I go blank and no amount of SSRI's help, Freud noticed the animals help when his Chow went with him while he visited his patients and how some reacted to his fur baby

My anxiety has always been high throughout my entire life. My girlfriend puts two pillows between us when we go to sleep bc my dreams are so violent. I remember them so vividly that I wake up thinking I'm gonna have a black eye or cut somewhere. I workout intensely everyday to help my anxiety levels, but I can totally relate to scary vivid dreams.

Isn’t being alive, by nature, a near death experience?

I keep having near life experiences. Where something happens that suddenly opens a doorway to somewhere strange and frightening... and I think "This is it... This the moment I should ask her out, and get back into life!". And then I suddenly make a weird face, trying to be 'cute'... or she introduces me to her new boyfriend, or a passing gull drops a fish in my pants. And just like that.. I snap back to my everyday existence.

Flow, mushin, ultra instinct, self movement, and the zone, always cool hearing about it.

anyone else have memories of that "flow" state back as a kid, playin gran turismo? me & my buddy would call it "stig mode".

I've achieved flow with recreational cannabis use. I'd play Mario Kart Wii with my roommates, all 32 tracks in one go, and I'd always end up winning it all in the end. I could not only perform amazingly without thinking about it, I could play while actively thinking about other things totally unrelated to what I was currently doing.

I quite like this concept, and really really need to see your cited resources, this could explain a lot!

and that soothing bond with a cat that has Toxoplasma gondii :)

Thank you guys for the work that you do

The thing I find interesting about the animal/human interactions is that animals have effects on us, but we have simular effects on animals! Let alone things they been finding like giving cheetahs dogs help keep them calmer. So it really seems to be an interesting biological thing that frankly is pretty cool

I think you guys are THE BEST You are KZfaq 🙌 Thank you!!

bold of you to assume I can't get blackout drunk at a coffee shop

I have always had lots of vivid dreams. Lots of stress dreams too. It’s interesting to get some insight into that.

Man, I've never been this early lol

flow state gets my juices flowing

Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up ❗👍👏👍👏👍

my near death experience was a bright white light at the end of a tunnel and hearing an angel singing.

Thank you 💖

Are there any studies about "flow" and videogames? I think that would be cool and interesting 💜

Wow very interesting and this is such a informative video, a lot of patients experience some this things. Very useful video

The girl in the thumbnail is actually stressing out because she's working on her master's degree in chemistry so she is thinking about her brain biochemistry of her stressing out about chemistry... *sigh* I feel her

This was really educational I wish there was more solutions to destressing :) mindfullness didnt get rid of the stressors I had unfortunately

Amazing Video; Super informative! ^_^

This is so dense, I need a study guide.

So... im not religious and all about the science to explain everything... but I had a near death experience in 2013. No "white light" but I did have an out of body experience and the feeling is unable to be put into words. My grandma that died 3 years prior came to the OR and wouldn't let me leave because I had to raise "her" boys. I didn't want to stay but she wouldn't let me go with her and I woke up in ICU a week later

15:25 You are telling me that we know how to and did trigger the brain to have such an experience? just wow

I have had and still till this day have experienced near death situations.

The acronym is actually OKAAAT, which means "otherwise known as AAT"

I can show you a great example of flow. Observe a manufacturing plant that uses a line of 6-axis welding robots that require a person(s) to load, unload, and press the stop and go buttons. This was my job for years, but I couldn't keep up with demand any more.

This is stressing me out.

I got into the flow a couple of days ago when I was writing the code for a personal project of mine. I wish I was in flow rn instead of procrastinating on YT.

This was very helpful Roy Lafayette

i beg to difffer. when i was under a ton of stress and anxiety during a span of roughly 10 years (work related and also family related) i could prolly count on one hand how many dreams that i have had. averaging about 4 hrs a night of sleep. but thats studies for you. cant get every possible case.

to note,,, i suffer from complex ptsd, my sleep cycle is around 3 to 5 hours and feels broken and i dont feel tired when i wake up or when go to sleep, i just fall asleep after laying down for hours and i normally dont dream but once in a while i have a vivid dream that impact me to wake up and for a short but abit longer than usual time i know what i feel then it gets messy, i have trouble with knowing what i feel and my feelings change alot and rather qiuckly, like from sad to mad to happy to emptyness to disbelief to feel fear to feeling near death experience(cause i had almost died many times either by accidents or be threaden to death), i just dont know what i feel and sometimes it just shuts down and my thoughts its running wild,, i am more aware after learning about ptsd and trying to learn more but the more i try to learn the more severe intrusive thoughts from the past that stops the leaning process for a short time but i keep trying to ignore the intrusive thoughts and trying to keep learning, so far it have been helpfull to understand myself better but it is too messy to sort out, i usually read about the feelings at the moment my thoughts that are intrusive if i caught it or it shows more than other intrusive thoughtsthen i read about or see in youtube why and how to tread it wich helps sometimes but i had too many trauma experiences from childhood to adulthood, neglect from father who often beat me and my mom till i was around 17 years old, to being chased by bullies only to get beaten by them from school and if i show up with brushes or marks from the beating then my dad would beat me and his cause was he said it would make me stronger my father was manipulative at its worst, when he help me with homework he called me out that i am stupid and proceed to be more and more agressive till either he leaves me or beat me if i couldnt figure out what the task was about and he was also alcoholic, and in school i got to get bullied till i broke down wich happened alot and many of the teachers allways ignores what was happening till i was around 13 where i became agressive towards those buillies and they stopped, also happened at adulthood at workplaces due to many but not all Danish people have tendens to be agressive or try to be dominant or tread people from Greenland like dogs on a work places and i had to shift my workplace only to experience that kind of people again and again and again and sometimes if i call for a interview they say yes we need people and then i show up only to experience the sadness from their eyes and getting told they dont need any workers anyway, that cause of feeling negleted by the boss and the coworkers to have seen someone getting beat to their ends to experience near death too many times, those thoughts keeps changing and i have no control over them and making me confused at times, i am all aware around me and myself but its not easy, well ill keep trying hard to learn how to control my feelings so i can start my treadment, its like being in two places at the same time and sometimes multiple places at once wich is bad for me and i mean VERY BAD but note that it comes in waves.

Thanks Hank, it has been hard to go on living, after get tortured and killed. But I'm a dad, I can't leave ma'daughter alone.

Last near death I had I got robbed, got knocked out and woke up upsidedown

excellent compilation of topically relevant videos, scishow psych. you're the best.

I'm really risk averse, basically the only risk I'm usually willing to take is trying a new food. Actually, I make it a point to try every new flavor of M&M and Kit Kat they make. Also, when the lottery jackpot hits like 300 million or higher I sometimes buy a few tickets. Sometimes I don't have extra money or don't realize it's that high until too late, so it's only a couple times a year to once every few years. As for dreams- my mother never remembers hers. I have no idea why. My dreams tend to be WILD. Like last night I dreamed about a weird town where a bunch of criminals got kicked out and went to another town NE of the first, but a guy in a beaver suit also got kicked out although he was harmless. For some reason I ended up focusing on beaver-guy as he floated down a river that was east of the second town and flowed south to a sea or ocean in his suit. He then swam along the coast until he ended up back in the original town.

There was one episode talking about substance abusers and how we should re-evaluate addiction and behaviour. Just a thought ; this “pet make you feel better data” makes me want to confirm when a person’s brain experiences support and positive interactions , even if it’s just a pet who shows up and exhibit warmth , comfort, companionship , you are less likely to be overwhelm with your cortisol, adrenaline etc and seek comfort in substance. IMHO

My university has a puppy room and a kitten room on finals week.

Flow/Zone and gamers go hand and hand and are the group that experience it more than any other in my opinion

Flow, is very familiar to most people who have adhd

I only have nightmares, I have only had nightmares since I was 3

A vest over a graphic tee shirt is certainly an interesting choice. . .

I got great vivid dreams of my family, cousins, and friends & old friends and I suddenly wake up by ugly reality.

Flow sounds almost like a meditative state. I used something like flow to write my finals papers. When allowed I didn't do rough drafts, I waited until the night before, doing some research but otherwise keeping it on the back burner. Then I'd sit down and use the adrenaline from being short of time to just . . . let it out. It's like making a necklace, words and ideas are like beads on a string. You put them together and they form a whole that's so much more than the individual components. Or like I imagine riding a wave feels. You're just going with it, seeing where it leads as you type. Then when it's done you just have to make sure to check for spelling or grammar mistakes, make sure the bibliography is good, and make sure you cited everything properly. But even then it's less like the drudgery it would usually be and more like you're polishing a work of art you just made.

23:44 where can I find the source for this? I could use this for my thesis

My brain works differently, so I guess that can cause my boss's stress. She once questioned me for putting black linens on the tables for the wedding reception instead of white, the correct/usual color (but in my defense, we *usually* put on black linens for *any* event, and I don't even generally set the _reception_ linens). Oh, and she was upset I had signed up for a one-person shift, because she didn't think I could manage alone. I'll admit, I am much better with a helping hand and guide, but come on, that's no excuse for being insensitive. One of our student leader's responsibilities is organizing who works which shifts on the schedule, and my boss scolded him for not noticing I had signed up a coffee service. When she asked him if she thought I could do the shift, I answered for him with a firm "yes," because I felt belittled by her. She said she didn't think so, was all "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen" (something like, that, so I'm not perfectly quoting her), and she told me I need someone there to give me instructions and guide me. You know, I'm in constant fear of her, and always avoid her at work. I'm starting to hope one day, this stress gets to my brain and raises my high blood pressure around her. I would love it if a doctor told her I had to avoid her for medical reasons to restore me.

"Stave off nightmares by reading before bed" *picks up my Stephen King collection*

Huh. There’s a lucid dreaming technique involving deliberately causing your brain to up the intensity of your REM sleep by trying to wake up in the middle of your usual sleep times frequently. Another one, which I personally used to do frequently, is to imagine something you would like to dream about. But my stress levels have been so high for so long I couldn’t even dream at all for ages because I couldn’t sleep for longer than an hour at any time through 2020. And now I’m finally dreaming again. I just can’t remember it and have lost my former tendency to always recognize the fact of dreaming while it’s happening.

Does bringing buried issues to the surface really make things better or worse especially if theres no resultion

1:48 It's funny how pregnancy is seen as a negative part of risk taking, most of us are here because of it.

If your senses are highten that would an out of body experience . And if skin can sanse temperature and or pressure

Hi i agree sometimes u have 2 take a risk.u maynot know the out come but u are aware u have stuied the out come like all b that be came great inventers and speakers. The out come is the result. Good or bad they is always a relast personied

Biggest assumption of the video: animals don't judge you. Us. Me. My pets judge me.

16:09 the counter argument is that these experiences are influenced by the society

Interesting

Medio inconexa la información que entregaron pero útil en cierto modo.

Recurring dreams? Dreams related to your daily life? Half the time I can remember a dream the world is in a fictional world I can't connect to anything I've seen or experienced recently. I feel like my subconscious has meticulously crafted an entire fictional world, with a plot ready for a full movie or TV series, placed me into it to experience, and then has slowly snuffed it out of existence as it slowly fades from my mind once I wake up. I feel like a Wind Fish, except there is no sword wielding hero in this tale to remember those who now no longer exist and have vanished without a trace.

I lost my baby at 6 weeks this week I haven’t slept since A different stress I never knew I could feel

The bond with babies is the same as the result of AAT. Until they become teens.

That's what you get for believing every researcer or researches. It's all to do with the amount of sleep you have been getting which will lead to lighter sleep . And the lighter one sleeps the more one will have more vivid and or more memorable.

please revive this channel...

Ha my brain and stress are very well aquainted

When we're in flow lol

My brain is a constant stress

I have questions. Is that description of near death experiences because that's how someone described it and people just adopted that description? And were ancient near death experiences described in the same manner? And my near death experience was that there was nothing and then suddenly I was back, no white light, tunnel or angels singing from above. Also how did those who dislike animals react to that pet therapy? Did they also have a positive outcome?

Everything about the dreams is the opposite for me. But maybe its the weed lol 😂. Am still stressed but never have a single dream.

I can't seem to find that skillshare link 😅

I really think DMT has more to do with the near death experience.

you're not alone. of course. we all dream go to toilet and pee our bed, and fall from high place

I had a strange dream last week. I dreamt that I was going to a "semi-formal" dinner. I was dressed in a nice skirt, blouse, and coordinating jacket with stylish black heels. I decided that I needed some lipstick, so I told my friends that I'd catch up to them at the dinner in a few minutes. Instead of lipstick, I changed into an extremely poofy floor length (and completely inappropriate) white ball gown. When I went to the venue, it was completely empty and set up for an event the next day. I shook my head and went to a different venue. When I got there, everyone was VERY casual and they were seated and being served chips and salsa. In my ball gown, I stood out like a sore thumb. At that point, I looked at my invitation and realized that it didn't have the address on it and I had now missed the dinner completely. I woke up shaking my head at the incongruity of it all and wondering where on earth I would have gotten a white ball gown and what possessed me to wear it.

Gamers and monks are known to be able to get into flow state more easily than normal people

Can flow be caused by medication? wellbutrin puts me in flow state and I forget to selfcare.

I look at the things and most of them line up with ADHD...

I was wondering why you didn't mention the name of the Hungarian scientist who discovered the "flow" state. Then, I looked it up, I realized it: You wouldn't know how to pronounce his name: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Don't feel bad. I'm was born in Hungary and even I had to think for a second to think how to pronounce it :)

First glance at the thumbnail it looks like a dodo bird

💙🧠💙

Who knows where to get her orca shirt?
