Thank you for the insight!

Thank you for the analogy!

good

Sou terapeuta integralista e comecei a usar conteudos de P. Levine, Bessel e Gina Ross. São uma luz para o caminho da cura do trauma.

what is the colourful thing he is using called?

One day all this fear won’t exist anymore . ❤️

Ray, you’ve helped people more than you know.❤

I am somatic experiencing student. I’m curious if this full interview is available anywhere.

this is soo enlightening! I tend to do this naturally by crying it out after being immobilizes in a conflict or dancing it out

the "basic life feeling is one of expansion" - this is Ralph Waldo Emerson, Friedrich Nietzsche, and John Dewey's lebensphilosophie rolled into one

Oh man. I'm just bawling. Wow. It's just amazing to see such profound healing and such amazing strength, resilience and courage. Thank you to Ray, Melissa, Dr. Peter Levine and everyone else involved. 🙏

Excellent illustration.

Me when I build a career on placebo effect

Peter Levine's and Ray's son synchronised "oh wow" @ 15:58 might be accidental, yet it is so touching. It feels like Peter's inner child expressing awe!

Perfect Example! Thanks for making it public! So important. Glad to be an SE-Practitioner...

2:39 It is a goddamn war. Of course the bodies signal danger. To heal trauma you have to get out of the traumatic event.

I'm seeing people talk about how this method saved their lives but I've tried to understand it and it's done nothing for me so far

I've been waiting for this since I couldn't attend the first live event. Thank you! This is so rich, and definitely useful. I love the poetry!

in desperation for a miracle, I pray this affirmative prayer: * I completely totally entirely permanently forgive, release, let go, move on, and surrender to Jesus * I accept myself, 100% * I am a creative being, I create miracles * I fully harness all my power and magnificence and beauty * I am a master alchemist * My life always, and in all ways: unfolds perfectly, in accordance with divine guidance * I am restored to my true nature: which is LOVE * I constantly/consistently feel/accept: the love and bliss and joy and blessings that flow into my life

this was a very profound video to watch. i can only imagine what a transformation Ray has been through. the visual change in his appearance has more light and love - even though he continues going through these challenges. i hope his he and his family are thriving, and that he is more peaceful in his heart and life. Peter and the Somatic Experience realm are so inspirational and hopeful for those who are suffering. thank you for sharing this extremely personal journey

❤

I want to die I'm in hell and I can't find escape rage and grief consume me

Can this experience help in quitting smoking??

Thank you for the work, and though this is mostly about Ray's journey and his path, Melissa is resting on a razor's edge. My hope is that they see they've come together because of an equal need to heal and grow. Seeing the need when it hasn't manifested as a physical explosion is nearly impossible, but it is there or they wouldn't be drawn to each other.

here's what I'm working on... I'm desperately struggling... I need prayers. I need guidance. I need help. I need a miracle. MY VOICE HAS BEEN SILENCED MY WHOLE DAMN LIFE. MY BEAUTIFUL SACRED MIRACULOUS VOICE. MY VOICE IS MY MAGICAL GIFT OF TRANSMUTATION! that being said, all my life... I have given people access to me in ways that I should not have EVER granted them access now, I want to scream at the top of my lungs: FUCK OFF!! YOU DO NOT GET TO HAVE ACCESS TO ME IN THAT WAY!! THE DOOR IS NOT OPEN!! YOU MAY NOT COME IN!! ACCESS DENIED!! but fuck, so much easier said than done. I've been programmed my whole life to be silent, conditioned to have no boundaries... so how, now, at 44 years old, do I change this all around? (may those whom I loathe suffer for all eternity for what they've done to me! TRULY.)

There is also a collective grieving of mass media manipulation of people's fears by those who can see it.

Very cool to see a smile of relief come on this brave Marine's face.

Is this video anywhere in just english?

This is an excellent explanation and has give me a visual to what I've experienced most of my life, trauma! Oh, the importance of somatic exercises. Thank you Dr. Levine for this and all of your valuable work.

I seriously need help with this

Thank you so much Sarah, profound. Received with great appreciation and respect. Very very supportive to my work and YES, the need for social justice, changing the environment to support neurodivergence. THANK YOU.

I’m not afraid of the corona virus so EVERY ONE isn’t afraid but thanks for instilling that fear.

Most simply: as Gene taught it, what he called The felt sense was to distinguish it from the five organ based senses. So this is the sixth sense, and he loved to assign Plato‘s Meno and passages in Aristotle psychology, particularly the one where Aristotle wrote that we only know sugar is white and sweet because sight and taste occur to one inclusive encompassing sense.

Gene Gendlin was a philosopher but he became a main assistant to Carl Rogers and of course he did a lot of therapy and trained a lot of therapists and so this was a little slip of the tongue by Peter, not too long after he slipped, and said that this research identified the therapists who benefit when he actually met clients.

Thanks so much for sharing - it's so touching. May you be well.

Thank you so much … you are all such beautiful human beings🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Real saint of our days this precius old man Peter!!!❤❤❤

Great information about the neuro divergent peculiarities BUT the privilege idea is promoting victim mentality. I am ADHD and I am not feeling necessity for other people to treat me somehow better. Privilege ideology is really displaced here, feels like brainwashing into woke ideas. I am watching this to help my self function.. not to feel better because I will start requiring everyone around me felling sorry for ablism. Ablism? What? 😂

What a gift. I appreciate the sharing of this sacred journey. What a benefit to all. Hope this man and his family are well and send my gratitude and blessings. Dr. Levine - thank you, thank you, thank you. 💕🙏🏼

Thank you so much for this 🥺🥹🙏 it is helping me and will help some of my Physio patients so much too .

Thank you for a wonderful video. I think I found my tribe.

Reminds me of indirect craniosacral or fascia work.

I think its important to not dismiss ADHD simply as a response to trauma. Yes, ADHD and trauma are related but a causal relationship cannot be drawn both ways. People with ADHD struggle with emotional dysregulation and this obviously predisposes them to developing PTSD. But to say that ADHD is CAUSED by trauma is wrong. The numerous twin studies replicated all over the world prove this. Twins separated at birth: One grows up in a chaotic, traumatic environment and the other is raised with love and stability, yet both are just as likely to have ADHD. I have no doubt that Peter Levine is an expert in his field but it is especially important, more so than for the layman, for experts to admit their limited knowledge of other fields. When a trusted figure speaks ostensible truths, it can be very damaging: it can delay the proper treatments required. In the case of ADHD, it can lead to parent-bashing, and a refusal to own their diagnosis. The patient may choose to outright ignore their diagnosis as they believe that this a simply a response to trauma.

What a courageous man you are Ray! Deep respect for you. I wonder how are you and your wife and son doing these days?

My favourite SE teacher 💙

Half a million views! So happy this information is accessible to us all ✨💜

So cruel., what they did the Polar bear.

This is sheer animal cruelty 😡

Beautiful!

I had a very kind well- willing psychiatrist who triggered so much early childhoodtrauma I left him with far more DSM diagnoses then the original PTSS. ADHD too. Methylfenidate helps me controlling and managing my tought, beliefs etc. When anxiety and/ or anger came, these feelings overruled everything. So then I had to take sedatives. To calm down. But in sich a stage, almost impossible. Had to take a lot. And did it, to comfort the doctor and my kids (adult kids). What helped me in fact was exhausting myself by making sudoku's or scrolling on my phone till the phone dropped out my hand, me falling at sleep in the end. I do know now methylfenidate is helpfull til some level. When I crossed it, sedatives barely help. But I must take them. Because otherwise it give so much trouble and misunderstanding.... Nothing does calm my mind in that stage. I know very well! And did scare me sometimes too. Why have so many medical people knowlegde about early childhoodtrauma and how to treat or not to. I figured out myself, but no one confirming it. I m very glad I was recommended Bessel vd Klok 's book. From his to others. I think SE might help me. Because changing tought patterns and beliefs about myself, orhers and the world around me....not really chased tht goal after schema therapy or emotionregulation/ VERS therapy. How to calm an innerchild if her emotions frighten you so much you do anything to avoid??
