This is perfection... exactly what I've come to through my own healing journey... grounded in work by Bessel van Der Kolk, Richard Schwartz, Stephen Porges, Alan Schore, et al. With an understanding of trauma and its impact on the brain as well as its impact on development using attachment theory viewed through the lens of polyvagal theory and the autonomic nervous system's response to stress, we begin to see how parts come into existence and express themselves. A fine overlay is found in The Haunted Self by Onno van der Hart, Ph.D.,which refers to "Apparently Normal Parts" and "Emotional Parts." Thanks for sharing this fine video.

Excellent presentation🙏 Thanks🙏

When Healthcare is a 'for profit business'...its buyer/consumer beware. Very sad for the vulnerable population. I'm learning IFS through a book as I cannot afford professional help. Thank you from the bottom of my trauma- based psyche for all your help and insights. We do heal from within and I find I am my own best/worst healer...lol.

This Dr. I s the “Truth”, next level Ty!

The ideas around attachment theory, make so much sense to me.

Good people, doing good work.

Woohoo, thanks for this Frank!!!

That is super interesting. My migraines are ALWAYS triggered by overwhelming stress, after I got into a fight hissing cat, tiger claw rage response. Severe inner distress triggered by some outer thing...

Loving.curiosity... . Love that ..Ill try that.when i have my panic attacks

✅ very good

His observation about his son saying, "of course I go to papa about money, and Daddy about cooking!" is so interesting to me. His family is such a valuable living social experiment in real time. Like how does it affect the development of a boy to grow up in a home with zero females? I bet they forget to teach him about menstrual cycles and other things boys with sisters are exposed to. And based on what I have seen in SF, white men, whether gay or straight, are still the thought leaders in a community, or even they just set behavioral precedent by proximity, where straight men adjacent to gay men are different. There is less street harassment (of women) better style, more same sex vulnerability and physical affection, without any stigma. Gay men can be the best antidote to misogyny, as a community that has survived tragedy and minority-based oppression. Trauma-informed people have the potential to be less likely to perpetuate discrimination. The next generation might be a different story.

I had hypnosis over 20 years ago. It was brilliant. Mental health therapists and psychologists dismissed the efficacy of hypnosis at the time with an arrogance reflective of narcissism that bordered on delusion. The hypnoanalist used parts therapy over 20 years ago. My experience of psychologists compared to hypnoanalysis is that the former was a waste of time. They are all using mindfulness now. So after 20 years, the licensed mental health therapists are finally acknowledging the benefits of just meditation. Of course, they are now trying to monopolise mindfulness training as their own invention rather than a broadly practised buddhist technique. Pathological arrogance cashing in on claiming a niche education for the traumatised.

Hold on - I thought the parasympathetic state was rest and digest. But when I am in a freeze response, I still feel also anxious and stressed, and for sure I am NOT in a rest and digest state. In a Freeze response you don't digest well either, you are NOT relaxed.

The problem with IFS is that if you move trough, you are going to find parts everywhere and your going to draw complicated diagrams in the style of Berne to describe the relationship between parts and in the end the conciseness is lost! A model not still based on evidence must be so complicated?

Hey, keep up the work. You will enjoy this channel 👉 #drjohnaking. I find him informative, yet down to earth.
