Why are emotions not the same as feelings? They are related but not the same - we can't change the emotions that arise (they're physiological but we can change the feelings associated with they are created in our brains. They are an interpretation of our inner world and show up in terms of symptoms of depression and anxiety. Today, I explain the groundbreaking work of Jaak Panksepp and his definitive understanding of the different networks in your brain that can become unbalanced causing problems in your experience of life. His work on mapping the seven neural networks the subconscious mind forever changed the way we see conditions such as longterm depression as a failure of the CARE network for instance or ADHD as an imbalance in the SEEKING network - this understanding enables you to take charge of your health rather than relying on medications and 'experts'.Find Jaak's original presentation herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=65e2qScV_K8&t=868sFor my plant medicine journey please see herehttps://youtu.be/b14RX-A5vn8Order my new book, Mind Medicine
Here I describe my interaction with the Gene Keys hologenetic profile which was so accurate it blew my mind!Find the gene keys and the work of Richard Rudd on https://genekeys.com. No affiliate links.00:00 intro to the Gene Keys book/course - an update of the i-ching - significance of 64 different patterns - number of different combinations of DNA02:30 The New Biology of Bruce Lipton, and quantum biology shows us that DNA is vibrational not fixed and responds to emotions and unconscious beliefs. 04:40 Consciousness creates reality. Coming into your true self via conscious connection with our world and our place in it. A guide to meaning and purpose set in motion at your birth. Plays into cosmological embededness of everything.07:38 Quantum Biology, mind and body connection, etc is being corroborated by Glen Jeffery at UCL Michael Levin's morphogenetic fields) and Jack Kruse, and Alexander Gurtzwitch09:45 Science beginning to corroborate new ideas. Einsteins idea of anything important being ridiculed at first. Biophotons, photobiomodulation for instance. Hologenetic profile based on birth date.12:20 My profile amazingly accurate - a synopsis. What I'm here to do. An analysis of my reality vs. the prediction of the gene keys. 17:00 Accepting suffering with grace, empathy and lack of judgement. Applying this to my own life will unlock everything - as I approach a new pathway. A plant medicine journey.20:10 My evolution - stepping up as a leader. Healing as a journey of uncertainty. Guidance of pulling together different strands enables us to move forward humanity. Lack of stagnation. Moving on.25:00 Standing at the cutting edge of human evolution.

In this video I cover some of the issues that people face when engaging in a healing journey. Uncertainty is part of that and needs to be embraced rather than avoided. It is never a linear progression but rather an exploration best taken with courage and guidance from somebody who provides a safe space for you to face those aspects of your life that perhaps you would rather leave hidden!See Micheal Levin's 'on Memory as a Self-adapting Agent herehttps://youtu.be/DdXcV3dXa_4?si=qylvqa0mauD3Yc7u00:00 A year of departures. Embracing uncertainty and change as necessary. A plant medicine journey for me in January as 2025 begins. A journey into healing in order to move towards whatever next step awaits..03:06 Receiving information from the field (some early life experiences and those from previous generations). Opening your heart to the unknown - means allowing that much of this new information is out of the mainstream.06:04 My past was highly skeptical too - but personal experience counts too (sensory awareness is part of proof too). Challenging current understanding is essential to change the current meaningless world we inhabit. Losing the notion of myth and journey. Carl Jung's archetypes.08:20 The body is a liquid crystal matrix which stores memory as patterns of holding (epi/genetic, nervous system, electromagnetic voltage and fascial/biosensory). 09:30 Setting intention to be a fully realised human being - admitting vulnerability and refusing to criticise others to make ourselves feel better. Need to process through sensory holding enables us to clear channels of information from body.12:30 Embracing magical and mythical to come back into connection with the human experience, widens our lens towards being open to the unknown. Rather be curious and open than be correct!

Looking at a new concept in medicine - that of decentralisation - taking back control and making surprising but simple changes to your lifestyle to enhance health.Find Dr Boon Lim's talk for the Awakening Heart Collective herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rksXwEf6ZWU&feature=youtu.be00:00 Intro to decentralised medicine - taking back control of your health. Especially important in chronic conditions like CFS/ME which are not dealt with well by conventional medicine.03:07 Integrative medicine - Dr Boon Lim as an example - a cardiologist who uses HRV as well as more conventional methods, to measure your autonomic (nervous system) health- the importance of breath to regulate.06:40 Sunlight as a nutrient - not just foods supply this. Better than supplementation as it helps boost mitochondrial function without the limitation of poor digestion. Autonomic regulation (vagal toning, etc) is much more likely to benefit those with low energy/immunity.08:36 We need daylight every day through the skin and eyes. Huge difference in irradiance between indoors and outdoors so exercise outdoors. Important for eye health and inflammatory brain disease like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.11:15 Sound like binaural beats - helps brain coherence (resonance) and change your brain state away from beta (fight and flight) to alpha (rest and digest/flow state). Input vs. output. Dysautonomia common in long covid.13:31 EMDR - Eye movement densitisation and reprocessing helps us reprocess childhood trauma as over that then stops triggering your autonomic nervous system unconsciously.14:43 Taking back control - some innovative clinicians are working within the centralised system enables you to work as a team.16:50 My history from centralised to decentralised.

70's child star Lena Zavaroni was plucked from obscurity to international fame at the age of 10 and sent to live away hundreds of miles away from her family with people who seemingly only wanted to make money from her. When she began suffering from anorexia at age 13, her illness forced her to abandon her TV career and by the time she was in her 30s she ended up penniless and living on benefits. Lonely and desperate to cure her condition she begged to have a very risky brain operation (leucotomy) and died from pneumonia a few weeks later at the age of 35.This sobering story which was aired on UK TV last week showed the price of fame and the terrible aftereffects of losing connection from those you love (an attachment wound). This affects the development of the child's brain and makes addiction much more likely.Hear how she could have been treated today. Here's Byron Katie's work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgGxPa8jmWI00:00 Intro Lena is spotted by a talent scout and she is signed up by agents and taken to live with them in London where she was catapulted into fame.06:47 After being diagnosed at 13 with anorexia (having been told to lose weight by the agents) life becomes a lot tougher as it began to take her over. 09:03 Her death at 35 is unsurprising given her traumatic history - a form of relinquishment (abandonment) trauma which was never resolved. 11:30 An internal feeling of unsafety often expresses itself in addiction. The presence of being seen and felt (unconditional love) is so vital to brain development.13:00 Byron Katie's work of inquiry helps people to resolve to deeply held beliefs that cause us to suffer. Anorexia is a coping strategy for what's missing in brain development.17:00 Building a sense of internal safety.

Most people find anxiety so agonising that they will do anything to shift it. But sadly the techniques of analysing thoughts and symptoms do little to alleviate what is a body-based issue overlaid with fear and shame.It's time to change the paradigm of healing from mind to body, from fixating on 'fixing the problem', removing the symptoms and instead focus on what the body is trying to tell you and how you can listen.00:00 Intro02:00 Chronic anxiety can be caused by unprocessed unconscious memory overlaid with fear about what symptoms mean - a psychological imprint in your autonomic nervous system - the 3 levels.05:00 What symptoms are - feedback from the body - why talking/analysing doesn't work. Tools to get you out of your head and into your heart08:00 The toxic stress load (acute and chronic) that we are all under has become part of our culture. Emotional blueprint overlays the genetics and directs it. The cortisol link.11:00 The personality as an adaptation not your true self. Overthinking as a roadblock. Let go to get well. Body based feedback. The importance of compassion to overturn maladaptive beliefs.12:00 A hard lesson to learn. Gathering information doesn't change the program.

How is it that some people are able to enjoy a drink or smoke and do not get addicted? Why are some people unable to stop? It's all to do with the craving brain...00:00 Intro - Dealing with craving is not a matter of willpower as it is an unconscious process of the survival response01:50 Liam Payne - the stimulus of fame and then rejection is overwhelming to a sensitised brain02:49 Not a moral failure - the importance of 12 step programmes to provide safety in a tribe but it often fails when people leave04:39 Human brain is 3 brains in one - but the cognitive is only 10-15% of your functioning. The back brain is much more important in driving actions and behaviours06:13 The way the craving brain works - the seeking system does not turn off in a sensitised brain because of low levels of serotonin - a neuroregulator08:12 The neuroscience of craving - past chronic inescapable stresses makes the brain unable to regulate itself.10:00 How medication, 12 step and psychotherapy intervene between the stressed brain and the response. 11:00 Biobalancing the brain with safety signals from the tribe when with others who support you.13:00 What is stress? physical, hormonal, mental/emotional inputs combine together with childhood unconscious stress to change the brain and produce fear, worry and guilt.15:00 Self-awareness is a double edged sword. Can create fear/anxiety originating from back brain beliefs and feelings which have been repressed17:02 Some fears are hard-wired and along with experiences accumulate over time to drive a seeking brain.18:84 How to create a sense of safety within using the power of touch to stimulate calming brainwaves - gamma, beta, alpha, theta, delta.21:00 Some people are more susceptible to stress.

We are in a battle currently where conventional science attempts to explain healing - via neuroscience particularly in a bit to legitimise what, for many, are 'unscientific' or 'pseudoscience' of holistic methods such as psychosensory therapy. The difficulty is in not losing the spontaneity and art of healing which is in many ways a completely opposite approach. Here I detail what I've learned through my decades of research and practice and my foot in both camps.00:00 Intro and the battle between scientific and holistic methods which mirrors my own history02:34 The marketisation of therapy via symptom based alleviation which ensures other methods are dismissed for lack of scientific explanation.05:50 How EFT works - the vagus nerve electro-stimulation and how EMDR and havening works. All are bottom up approaches unlike talk therapy07:04 the importance of unconscious beliefs stored as sensory impressions from childhood.08:42 healing as a process which is non-linear - allows for spontaneity magic and intuition - what I call 'the shift'.10:45 the rapid advances in neuroscience has limitations in explaining everything, particularly the tipping point (maybe at the cellular level in the cell danger response)12:26 why do people get stuck? unconscious processes going on 'under the hood', requires willingness to engage with uncertainty14:09 An interaction with the client and therapist - an energetic phenomenon. An individuality to the process, an understanding of the uncertainty of the process.16:40 Holistic Inventions build on the backs of previous ones. TFT, EFT, EMDR and self-havening.21:02 The trouble with the 'fix it' mentality, need to address painful/difficult experiences before you rewire them - for instance phobias which de-link the experience and the emotional response.24:18 Can we expand our willingness to share knowledge and explore intuitive understanding of healing. *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com

Although they touch on electrotherapy as a possible solution.00:00 Intro and what's missing from the discussion on anxiety and depression02:00 Brain is a pattern matching organ - responses to meaning are what interpret your environment create disturbed brain chemistry from Adverse childhood events and/or were a highly sensitive child05:00 Brain structures that mediate stress - amygdala can be chronically encoded.07:40 A new model of depression and anxiety as symptoms of traumatic stress creating an ongoing stress response and disturbance of brain function - fight, flight and freeze (fold/ collapse).10:30 Childhood experiences landscape the brain re-triggered by current threats to self - an event (in person or vicarious), the emotional meaning of threat - all attachment losses16:10 A vulnerable landscape - high stress brain. Sensitisation. Perceived inescapability (the most important). The one that we can change.19:40 Trauma even in a good childhood - cumulative traumatic events can lead to symptoms later on in life. Difficulty matching symptoms to events therefore.23:20 Solutions. examples with phobias. Can't change event, but can change the inescapability! Safe haven extinguishes the traumatic encoding in memory.26:20 Touch signals safety. Encoded from birth. Wait til the memory feels less potent. May add a new ending (imaginally). Have eliminated the traumatic component.31:02 After havening - posture and facial changes show release from a stress load.

Triggered memories change your neurobiology as you are overtaken by sensations which you can't contextualise.02:34 How to overturn a cumulative sense of threat and Ronald R Ruden's recent work (see paper above) with psychosensory therapies which change the unconscious somatic imprint.04:23 traumatic memories have particular features that cause chronic stress hormone release from the perceived allostatic (stress) load of the environment.07:23 The importance of the glutamate pathways in the brain allow memory wiring (consolidation) and re-wiring - how havening accesses this and changes the brainwaves to a calmer flow state.10:00 How the mindbody creates symptoms and the importance of emotions. Havening creates a neurological shift which translates to your cell's physiology12:50 Changing the meaning you've made of a traumatic memory (whether personally experienced or witnessed) - generates an emotional response. Most threats are attachment wounds.15:54 Needs an overwhelming, threatening event, a vulnerable landscape and inescapability.18:21 Allowing imagining a new ending where you did escape (or we allow you to feel your safety now) removes one of the 4 essential criteria for keeping traumatic memory going.Find me on alchemytherapies.co.uk *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com

00:00 How Jenny started working with clients with CFS/ME03:00 How the patterns became so clear led to explore solutions and begin teaching05:06 High sensitivity and trauma combine with emotional responsibility 06:40 Jenny's approach interwoven with who she is and holding others in safety - no 'off the peg' solution. But did teach the compassion and acceptance of reparenting the inner child to others.09:46 This is an art not a science - the clinical nature needs to go - ignores the witnessing, held in safety even in most healing models11:14 Working while present allows for a creative solution that is client led - my model was Virginia Satir who really connected with the bodymind of her clients13:46 The use of spirituality in working - knowing your purpose and where you belong - = a spiritual purpose grounded in presence - listening with the heart to what is NOT said15:50 Looking for wholeness in connection with others and self is a refinement process 18:35 Intuitive /second sense of what is being presented - the real self vs. the false self20:00 CFS/ME is a holding place/stasis of protection against vulnerability. Letting go of fear is the first step to healing.22:16 What's going on in the world that leads you away from an inner knowing. A useful distraction to keep you hooked into world events and an authoritarian narrative24:13 Social media drives a lot of the disconnection. Gender wars. Polarisation. Outsourced our power to others. Being yourself allows for diversity.26:10 Being with uncertainty is the biggest negotiation we make on this journey. A dance of flexibility.27:50 Whose side are you on? Counter to finding your own answers within. Communitarian mass media culture defines anyone who disagrees as rightwing/woke30:49 You can still disagree and still be loved when you are self-directed and tuned into a collective consciousness that is willing to explore uncertainty and nuance. The dance of wholeness32:46 women's voices in this space - needs fierce female leaders with heart - the elders/ crones/ wise women who shine a light on what's wrong and show by example.34:35 you have agency - inspiring others to know this.

Anxiety is a common problem for athletes:00:00 Intro and how I got into somatic trauma work03:40 Chronic anxiety is a natural response to past experience stored in your body in a feedback loop with your limbic brain06:50 The body cannot lie - it will reveal the truth of your unmet emotional needs from childhood as symptoms09:20 Symptom suppression vs. root causes. Athletes can get symptoms of auto-immune, delayed healing, chronic pain, etc if underlying high achieving drivers become unbalanced. Ian's story.15:03 Autonomic nervous system controls the body and is regulated by emotions. Autonomic safety (calm connection or neuroception) is necessary for healing and neurological co-regulation.19:27 Trauma events can be one-off or more commonly complex PTSD from attachment wounding. Much more common with highly sensitive people (HSPs).24:00 Symptom labels are limited being descriptive only. An example from an athlete we have both worked with:1/ Betrayal of trust distorts your mindbody perception of self. Hyper-responsibility plays out as the child within unconsciously as feelings of shame transformed to worthiness.34:50 High sensitivity (sensory processing sensitivity) correspond to 20% of population. Present in the womb, is a trait you are born with. Their needs are greater in childhood. Porous boundaries create overwhelm.39:30 Adult reactions driven by past experience - coaches, trainers take the place of family but can be abusive relationships which retrigger past traumas.44:00 What's changed in our environment that anxiety is so huge - social media onslaught, schooling system based on competition, achievement. Inter-generational trauma has built up. See The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate. Much more pressure, less support leads to being bathed in cortisol which destroys us.48:00 Competition vs. community. How the mind punishes the body if trained by trauma. Replacing despair with hope, love & gratitude is profoundly healing. Is a resonant system so emotions matter physiologically to restoring energy.54:00 Heart mind resonance. Heart is not just a physiological pump but a resonance electromagnetic organ to connect with other living beings and our environment via its sensory system. Allowing your vulnerability and reaching out for help. Heart connection in practice.59:00 How to connect with me.

Here I review the understanding put forward in the book The Divided Mind by Dr John Sarno as long ago as 2006. Doctor Sarno was one of the first medical doctors to embrace the idea of psychosomatic medicine which he dubbed mind body disorder to avoid the negative connotation that psychosomatic was all in your head.We now find many common conditions relate to what he referred to as TMS or Tension myoneural syndrome commonly expressed as chronic fatigue syndrome or Fibromyalgia but embracing many medically unexplained symptoms00:00 Sarno's revolutionary ideas of psycho-somatic (mindbody) medicine02:45 The divided mind - pain and emotional centres in the brain are closely linked04:20 Unconscious emotions from early childhood repressed by personality traits of goodism, perfectionism as unacceptable06:52 My story of unconscious repression of rage/ anger or rebellion plus guilt, fear or grief09:25 The need for control - narcissism and the dismay when illness, divorce, etc strikes12:16 past & present experience accumulate to speak for you - the symptom imperative14:42 Biomedical medicine treats the body symptoms only15:11 Other recommended books - including mine The Scar that won't Heal, The Hidden Psychology of Pain16:29 Mainstream medicine slowly taking on this view.

Talking about pain from a mindbody perspective and how to heal.00:00 Intro and why I'm talking about pain today01:30 how to treat acute pain relating to tissue damage and shock (held in the body)05:20 acute vs. chronic pain - pain that doesn't resolve itself after 3 months - neuropathic or 'brain pain' is especially difficult to resolve as the system gets 'stuck' in threat evaluation in limbic brain08:20 with repeated trauma the system never re-sets and amygdala is sensitised. All change/uncertainty is seen this way as well as interoceptive signals resulting from fear.10:15 Painkillers don't work here - need another solution. Brain re-training is needed in central brain to dampen emotional pain triggers12:24 Changing the brain's processing - most effective treatment for pain and fatigue relies on the mindbody link not constant testing or fear signals of no solution14:13 Different programs available to desensitise/de-amplify these signals by re-balancing left and right hemispheres too turns off fight and flight system. *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com

See also Raelan Agle's fabulous channel @RaelanAgle and The @crappychildhoodfairy00:00 intro and importance of the mind in Recovery - which can and does happen!02:12 CFS/ME is not a diagnosis but a description - there are no biomarkers for the condition is 'medically unexplained and it doesn't lead to an answer or plan for recovery.04:13 Mindset means what you believe consciously and unconsciously - its not about positive thinking... getting out of denial and 'pushing through', keeping it hidden06:00 The loads can be multiple on top of the previous stresses (including epigenetics and the unconscious emotional trauma) combines to form your total allostatic load in the terrain of the bodyso the treatment path is very unclear09:20 recovery starts with accepting you have a problem and something needs to change - the mindset shift. All complex chronic conditions have a mindbody component10:50 what are the maps to recovery? nutritional supplementation which can be difficult to handle when depleted, physical/structural like Perrin technique, very intense and long.14:35 Rewiring the nervous system like Dan Kneuffer's Re-wire, Chrysalis Effect, Gupta, Lightning Process, Reorigin programs. All work on the autonomic nervous system dysregulation.16:20 Modern medicine is left hemisphere oriented and cannot look at all the various factors in such a multifactorial disease.

Recovery from chronic disease or conditions is not about fixing the problem. How the experience of Craig McKinley's sepsis and the work of Dr Rangan Chatterjee, Nicola Singleton and John Campbell has informed my work.Here's the interview with Nicola and Dr Chatterjee where she talks of what she discovered from working with him and how she got well. Sadly a couple of years after this was recorded Nicola suddenly died from an acute bout of sepsis. An absolute tragedy for her family and all the people she encouraged and supported to believe in recovery from chronic disease. We miss her energy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7-2B-cQE0QHere's the new research on mitochondrial function in relation to the immune systemhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgBbIxxjyls00:00 Intro - Craig McKinley's sepsis experience made me wonder...01:33 Nicola Singleton recovered from Fibromyalgia and then died from sepsis very suddenly. What causes this is unknown.03:33 Why such conditions are biopsychosocial? Could it be mitochondrial deficits and/or a constellation of genetic SNiPs (genetic mutation) - the bio part of the biopsychosocial.05:30 Psycho - the imprints that change your view of yourself, largely from childhood experience and beliefs.06:40 Social - people suffering longterm chronic conditions tend to isolate and we therefore lose connection with others which perpetuates disease08:06 It's not all genetic (it's epigenetic) and society disregards co-operation - my answer to the critics - largely left hemisphere thinking driven by fear and competition10:02 Symptoms are body's way of communicating your distress, personalised approach to healing dis-ease means paying attention to your body in a new way and journey back to the self*Watch a video**WHATS THE MATTER WITH MEDICINE - IAIN MCGILCHRIST https://youtu.be/CdE1QphYKoUHOW TO HEAL BIRTH TRAUMA WITH EMDR https://youtu.be/JmtarRiGsgYQUANTUM HARMONIC RESONANCE IN THE BODY https://youtu.be/DMKLkIw6PXIEMOTIONAL RESILIENCE https://youtu.be/E5TYi9dEBEUWHY ANXIETY IS NOT A MIND ISSUE https://youtu.be/Ty-J2pu37tAHOW CHILDHOOD EMOTIONS STILL AFFECT YOU: https://youtu.be/8LzR8yhR8u8 *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com
My reaction to the death of TV presenter and doctor Michael Mosley was one of deep sorrow and shock despite not knowing him personally. I was stunned by the unnecessary loss but also realising I was reacting to an event that happened to me 40 years ago!! Find out how here.00:00 Nature of Trauma - shock trauma of loss e.g. the tragic death of Michael Mosely, one of the few TV doctors talking the language of integrative medicine - someone I greatly admired.02:31 Very triggered by his death due to my own history with shock trauma - losing my Dad while I was away. Trigger = an internal traumatic re-enactment of previous experience.05:31 You can't process trauma with willpower as it's generated in your survival brain. Causes many symptoms in body including pain, fatigue, gut issues and inflammation.07:40 Trauma exists in most childhoods, as attachment trauma = emotional wounding, particularly for emotionally sensitive people (HSPs).09:00 Usually shows up as long-term chronic conditions such as CFS/ME, Auto-immune Disease like Ehlers Danlos and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Will not respond to trying to 'fix it' (cognitive approach), particularly left hemisphere attention (grasping, linear, reductive)11.40 Requires unconscious processing via body connection and unprocessed emotions stored there.. In the immediate aftermath need to take control (cognitively) but later on will need a different form of healing allowing you to heal at a deeper level.15:50 Healing in safe physical connection with another allows you to feel the feelings without judgement or competition (no shame).17:42 Social media is a shaming environment because it lacks heart to heart connection. AI particularly illustrates this as it shuts down our emotional centres promoting disconnection. 19:50 Recovery requires rewiring brain neurobiologically using somatic psychotherapy (talking therapy doesn't work so well with trauma as it is perceived in the body).21:00 Finding a neuro-biologically safe state enables brain integration and mind and body connection. Get help, reach out to reverse chronic disease. Everything is possible...*Watch a video**AI IS ARTIFICIAL INTIMACY - https://youtu.be/Ii4ylPl9vJ8WHATS THE MATTER WITH MEDICINE - IAIN MCGILCHRIST https://youtu.be/CdE1QphYKoUHOW TO HEAL BIRTH TRAUMA WITH EMDR https://youtu.be/JmtarRiGsgYEMOTIONAL RESILIENCE https://youtu.be/E5TYi9dEBEUWHY ANXIETY IS NOT A MIND ISSUE https://youtu.be/Ty-J2pu37tAHOW CHILDHOOD EMOTIONS STILL AFFECT YOU: https://youtu.be/8LzR8yhR8u8 *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com
My commentary on the insight and understanding of healing ME/CFS as a spiritual disconnect that nevertheless has physical consequences. I draw on an interview between Jenny Lynn and Raelan Agle as well as my own experience as a therapist for over 15 years. See that herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyFQKb0qS7000:00 Intro00:56 CFS/ME is a disconnect from the soul/spirit of the person suffering from it.02:20 Your biography becomes your biology - why the body attacks itself - an alternative view04:32 Feelings of unworthiness are embedded so that you have to strive/prove it somehow - and when you are not able to continue producing because of illness this creates a lot of fear that you will stay this way forever - spiritually adrift06:45 Medicine is spiritually adrift too - a disconnect from you as a person, treats the symptoms only. Lost the art of medicine. a spiritual dislocation in the doctor/patient relationship08:45 Most disease is a dys-regulation of the neuro -hormonal/immune system - a metaphorical reflection of the subconscious mind's dysfunctional beliefs10:47 The mind and body are one and they read eachother. Integrative medicine brings this in and approaches this as a stress response gone awry. Helps to heal by motivating the body to heal from the bottom up rather than symptom checking.13:00 Self-worth/esteem is built from the ground up - with a supportive therapist to engage your creative spirit rather than simply symptom suppressing.14:40 Being not doing. Building creativity using metaphor/stories to get a dialogue between head and heart engages self-love and forgiveness of the self.17:58 Finding a way out is about engaging new responses from the adult self - is NOT selfish19:50 Healing in NOT about fixing the problem but about your own journey back to the authentic selfNo 'one size fits all'.21:20 We often have to hit rock bottom to truly heal - we seldom change unless we have to. Transform the relationship with yourself.22:24 Healing is a process not a destination - need to assimilate (digest) it for yourself at a deep level. Takes courage and support.*Watch a video**WHATS THE MATTER WITH MEDICINE - IAIN MCGILCHRIST https://youtu.be/CdE1QphYKoUHOW TO HEAL BIRTH TRAUMA WITH EMDR https://youtu.be/JmtarRiGsgYQUANTUM HARMONIC RESONANCE IN THE BODY https://youtu.be/DMKLkIw6PXIEMOTIONAL RESILIENCE https://youtu.be/E5TYi9dEBEUWHY ANXIETY IS NOT A MIND ISSUE https://youtu.be/Ty-J2pu37tAHOW CHILDHOOD EMOTIONS STILL AFFECT YOU: https://youtu.be/8LzR8yhR8u8 *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com
Why is this groundbreaking book so important? Here's my view...00:00 Intro and Dr Mate's background02:00 A leading light in emotional trauma awareness- and his personal experience of childhood trauma03:44 Synopsis of chapters and the general direction of the book - disconnect from the self, attachment wounding, trauma is not always what we got but what we didn't get05:32 High sensitivity (SPS) and parental deficits combine, creating dis-ease , aided by a distorted (toxic) cultural milieu07:30 Brain creates patterns as adaptation but which is perceived as reality, which can create anxious mental states08:50 The current medical model is based on individual disease not the wider picture of your environment and is inadequate to heal.10:04 Pathways to Wholeness - the 5 Rs how to heal: Re-labelling (introducing uncertainty) 12:00 Reattribute (to childhood programming - giving you a new response- ability14:49 Refocus - changing what you're doing/ take time out to do practical things.16:28 Revalue - what has this belief done for me?

My commentary on the lecture given by Iain McGilchrist yesterday to McGill University.for the original lecture go herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REB7GOxX5Mk00:00 Intro to what's the matter with medicine in a left-brain world of disconnect - toxic world vs.01:55 The importance of attention as a form of love03:00 The doctor patient relationship is devalued now which degrades the skills of doctors as well as a distortion of the body as a faulty mechanism in a mechanistic view of the problem04:40 Nothing in the animate and inanimate world is fixed or mechanistic - complex (living) systems are self-organising.06:50 A danger to ourselves - medicine and molecular biology can read the notes but not the music!08:20 Single celled organisms change their structure to solve problems almost instantaneously. Living systems are in dynamic equilibrium / in motion - even emotions - unlike machines11:30 Nothing about a cell is linear. Multiple inputs create a dynamic equilibrium. Grows by differentiation. Engage in bootstrapping - change themselves within at same time as becoming.13:30 DNA mapping - left brain approach saw mapping the genome as the answer to world disease but it ignored what it designated non-coding DNA as junk DNA.15:13 Humanities are the essential context for science - especially clinical science. Reductionist approach doesn't work. Meaning and values in life. Each life a whirlpool in the stream that returns to source when we die.18:00 when we lose the fear of death you see your life as a gift and appreciate the quality over quantity. E.g. money accumulation. Your body responds to how you live your life. Resonance and relationship to everything else.19:58 Being human is about attention and intention. Avoiding commodification and mechanistic view of the human experience makes us sick21:51 What makes us healthy? Shared community experience in which we can trust. Closeness to nature and connection to the spiritual (bigger than us).23:50 Choose your future - avoid capitalist serfdom.See also the Trauma of Capitalism herehttps://youtu.be/SU1ZarHa7O0?si=NGszRx_8QuUiP7Mn**Watch another video**HOW TO HEAL BIRTH TRAUMA WITH EMDR https://youtu.be/JmtarRiGsgYQUANTUM HARMONIC RESONANCE IN THE BODY https://youtu.be/DMKLkIw6PXIEMOTIONAL RESILIENCE https://youtu.be/E5TYi9dEBEUWHY ANXIETY IS NOT A MIND ISSUE https://youtu.be/Ty-J2pu37tAHOW CHILDHOOD EMOTIONS STILL AFFECT YOU: https://youtu.be/8LzR8yhR8u8 *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com
My commentary on the lecture given by Iain McGilchrist yesterday to McGill University.for the original lecture go herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REB7GOxX5Mk00:00 Iain is a unique voice in that he marries the humanities (philosophy) and science (medicine) which gives him a broad view of the world.02:10 Writing my current book Mind Medicine /Emotional Alchemy (provisional title) looking at changing consciousness and therefore health through implicit memory pattern change04:10 Parts therapy/ IFS (internal family systems) therapy- disembodied parts argue with eachother.May talk to the left brain dominant!! Needs a therapist to pull back a more holistic view06:05 A Medicine more Fit for Humanity - my commentary. Very left brain dominant procedural occupation focused on technology and humans as machines08:00 Lose contextual information and meaning when we look at the world this way, lacks feeling and relational dynamic between us and the world we perceive09:20 Left hemisphere sees the world in parts, (ignores the right hemisphere), deluded in its representation, competition, grabbing, using things - society follows this sadly (narcissism?)13:41 The 2 sides are complementary, conserved in all mammals, separated by Corpus Callosum15:06 The way we pay attention changes what we find in the world and who we are! Disembodied, disconnected may be as a result of the deficit of the right brain. 16:20 Medicine is an example of 'left brain' approach that seeks to understand things by studying constituent parts. Right brain understands there is uncertainty in understanding anything this way and we have to have a more wholistic view - opening up to possibility!17:25 Transforming people into the realm of possibility - where diagnosis goes wrong - Life Beneath the Labels. Left brain that seeks control the uncontrollable takes us down into disconnect. and fear19:26 Getting into implicit, creative view of the world. (work of Martha Beck) getting out of anxiety by getting into the body and looking at your whole world view not as malfunctioning machine.20:50 Any dis-ease is biopsychosocial - reflecting the whole of you. Needs to be treated as such21:26 Left hemisphere creates a map of the world which is inaccurate, but very compelling. Doctors train in this very view, which limits their ability to help suffering people (a problem of reductionist, technological medical training). 23:50 This hurts not only patients but also medical professionals - no connection leads to mental health issues for all24:40 Complex systems (which we are) need complex nuanced solutions to learn about themselves in the depth of their being.**Watch another video**HOW TO HEAL BIRTH TRAUMA WITH EMDR https://youtu.be/JmtarRiGsgYQUANTUM HARMONIC RESONANCE IN THE BODY https://youtu.be/DMKLkIw6PXIEMOTIONAL RESILIENCE https://youtu.be/E5TYi9dEBEUWHY ANXIETY IS NOT A MIND ISSUE https://youtu.be/Ty-J2pu37tAHOW CHILDHOOD EMOTIONS STILL AFFECT YOU: https://youtu.be/8LzR8yhR8u8Work with me:BOOK A SESSION (individual or g *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com
Men and women - the difference in how stress operates and how it manifests. And why men are less likely to admit they need helpSee this article for more details on gender differences in neurobiologyhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC342524500:00 The stress response in men and women are different - physiological differences in brain organisation. Fight and flight vs. Tend and befriend.02:31 Emotions are part of that system that communicates safety biologically. When symptoms arise, women are much more likely to notice and respond to them.03:30 Men much more likely to come when things get so bad that they can't fix it themselves. Shame in needing others (being emotionally vulnerable) is cultural.04:45 Childhood experience is hugely landscaping of men's and women's brains. High sensitivity is just as common in boys as girls (orchid children). Emotional suppression more common in men.06:08 Trauma embeds itself in body memory (instances of not having emotional needs met). Anxiety is present in both men and women but presents differently - can be more melancholic, shame filled.07:57 The body presents its bill through symptoms, and it needs inter-relational safety to connect with the sensations that mask the underlying emotions wanting to break through.09:20 Children have to attach to survive. Strategies develop as a means to manage the situation. But they become dysfunctional later in life particularly in relationships - which causes more shame.11:22 The dysfunctional behaviour is not the authentic person but the coping mechanism. Learning to express yourself emotionally is vital to full health.12:50 How to contact me - experience somatic psychotherapy which tracks sensations in the body which are proxies for the emotions that could not be felt.**Watch a video**HOW TO HEAL BIRTH TRAUMA WITH EMDR https://youtu.be/JmtarRiGsgYQUANTUM HARMONIC RESONANCE IN THE BODY https://youtu.be/DMKLkIw6PXIEMOTIONAL RESILIENCE https://youtu.be/E5TYi9dEBEUWHY ANXIETY IS NOT A MIND ISSUE https://youtu.be/Ty-J2pu37tAHOW CHILDHOOD EMOTIONS STILL AFFECT YOU: https://youtu.be/8LzR8yhR8u8Work with me:BOOK A SESSION (individual or group - including the Community sessions)https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/bookORDER A BOOK: See my books here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Patricia-Worby/e/B015TM124GMY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/alchemy.therapies/MY WEBSITE: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/ *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com
Lessons from the life and untimely death of Amy Winehouse after watching the movie Back to Black and also reading The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate. How nervous system dysregulation plays out in the life and how it inevitably takes its toll as we seek to calm our nervous system in any way we can.Luckily with support and proper tools it IS possible to quell the anxiety that leads to all kinds of addictions. Learn how you can do this to re-connect to safety inside.00:00 Intro - movie drama Back to Black about the life of Amy Winehouse and an interview with ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Usually regarded as the 'bad boy' in the story, was also very young and dys-regulated (no family support)02:40 The film shows a rather cosy view of her family but we know that she lacked support from her family also - her mother (ill), her father (somewhat childlike in many ways) and her Nan (the best emotional support she had but who sadly died at the height of Amy's fame). No wonder she was attracted to Blake and alcohol (and later hard drugs)05:35 A more nuanced view is that she was lead to these adaptations /strategies to regulate the dys-regulated nervous system - the early life experience is the most important developer of our stress response07:00 According to Gabor Mate in The Myth of Normal parents are both important but under-supported themselves, so it's no wonder that things go wrong - the neurological payoff of poor attachment is huge in the lifespan09:00 Societal pressures are also huge - social media and access to information that the nervous system cannot always make meaning of without overwhelm. Triggers in adulthood will easily then create addictions.10:30 Tools that we can use - e.g. touch based havening is bottom up from the body to the brain (somatically) via feelings rather than thoughts.12:00 demo of havening showing the importance of interpersonal support. Connecting with a safe nervous system. Other tools - cranio-sacral therapy, breathwork and humming/chanting (voo sound) helps to stimulate the vagus nerve (calming)**Watch a video**HOW TO HEAL BIRTH TRAUMA WITH EMDR https://youtu.be/JmtarRiGsgYQUANTUM HARMONIC RESONANCE IN THE BODY https://youtu.be/DMKLkIw6PXIEMOTIONAL RESILIENCE https://youtu.be/E5TYi9dEBEUWHY ANXIETY IS NOT A MIND ISSUE https://youtu.be/Ty-J2pu37tAHOW CHILDHOOD EMOTIONS STILL AFFECT YOU: https://youtu.be/8LzR8yhR8u8Work with me:BOOK A SESSION (individual or group - including the Community sessions)https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/bookORDER A BOOK: See my books here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Patricia-Worby/e/B015TM124GMY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/alchemy.therapies/MY WEBSITE: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/ *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com

In this audio I describe this ground-breaking information on how to heal with psychedelics from the book How to Change your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics by Michael Pollan.The article I mention By Robin Carhart-Harris on The Entropic Brain on psychedelics is here https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2014.00020/full00:00 Intro to the book and my work02:40 outline of the book: history, natural history and personal experience of the author Michael Pollan, origins of psychedelic research LSD/mescaline - began in the 1940s/1950s with the 1960s counterculture and anti-war movement04:59 The War on Drugs began and class A restrictions still in place 50 years later.06:21 His own experiences with LSD, psilocybin and DMT07:00 The neuroscience - switching off the Default Mode Network in the brain creates unusual new connections. Disconnection dissolves - we become one with all that is and love as the ultimate meaning10:16 Drug assisted psychotherapy - the research from the US and the UK - particularly at Imperial College, London under David Knutt - one of the major research groups in the world. The new renaissance.14:20 Predictive coding is how the brain avoids uncertainty - entropy is controlled therefore by making things predictable and limited. New states require rewiring of regular reality to include magical thinking much like young children have with neuroplasticity17:00 New expansive awareness has HUGE potential for healing disease states like depression, anxiety and addiction, overcoming the fear of death in terminal cancer patients but also promoting creativity and productivity in healthy people (when microdosed) 19:24 The potential to help trauma/PTSD when traumatic memories are over-written by psychedelics and other forms of altered state promotion like EMDR.

Psychotherapist Virginia Satir (1916 - 1988) remains one of the most influential family therapists there have ever been but she is virtually unknown now outside of psychology. She taught the importance of feelings over thoughts and blew the current understanding and practice out the water with her emphasis on safe emotional connection and the reasons people repeated certain scripted behaviors. Her work was the basis for Richard Bandler's development of NLP but she is seldom acknowledged or celebrated.When I was a fledgling therapist I was asked to model myself on someone who worked the way I wanted to and I found her by accident and noticed something very important. She touched people! Both figuratively and physically she stressed the importance of safe emotional connection through touch, sight and sound. She believed everything was vibration and that to be human was a magical thing of divine expression.Find out how her work has influenced mine and what I wished I'd known about self-esteem and becoming fully human.Her expressed wish was that everyone could look the mirror and say "the world is a better place because I'm in it".Find your work here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ITT44xDLXI00:00 Intro to Virginia Satir as a model for the work I now do03:00 The importance of emotions in working with people in therapy - sight, sound and touch (sensory inputs through the body) enables people to feel safe and is the basis of behaviour06:11 A faulty model of the world that we learned as children becomes the basis for how we related now - a faulty projection of reality. Power vs. intimacy.10:05 The body expresses the dysfunction because the mind cannot (it's repressed). Rage then ensues which is driven into symptoms.11:48 Power dynamics between people. Being present vs. being defended. Freedom to disagree via safe connection vs. reactivity.13:07 The need to be right will be defended even if it is dysfunctional (Peter Crone) to avoid feeling uncertainty.To be truly intimate have to be willing to acknowledge difference.15:53 Each human being is the unique manifestation of a divine force. We need time to explore ourselves to be in true relationship with others. We ask to be heard by someone.17:30 We are vibration - so how we use our bodies matters. Being in true connection whilst disagreeing gives us energy. In battle with our experience.19:34 The importance of meaning and interpretation in communication. Having an accurate picture in order to respond appropriately21:56 How the vulnerability of not knowing is part of the solution not the problem. Our difference needs acknowledging and a willingness to not know.23:32 Every situation in our life in which we struggle shows us where are not free or out of alignment with our true selves.24: 30 How I work with the body to build self-esteemFind Peter Crone's conversation with Rangan Chatterjee here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnsUif-CzOg *If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*CONTACT ME: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/Alchemy Therapies & Emotional MasterclassOTHER USEFUL RESOURCESGroup Healing Program: http://myemotionalaudit.comAuthor/Book site: https//patriciaworby.comPodcast: https://www.alchemytherapies.co.uk/po...121 and group therapy and training for stress related conditions like anxiety, fatigue and pain: https://alchemytherapies.co.ukSee in particular: Thrive! - an introductory mindbody connection program and The Emotional Audit for more intensive training.COMING SOON:Intensive Training Program: https://emotionalmasterclass.com
Anxiety is not a disease in the sense that doctors describe. It is a message from the body that something in your environment feels unsafe.For original article I'm commenting on go here. https://www.carolynspring.com/blog/six-steps-to-managing-anxiety/00:00 Intro - everyday trauma impacts the mind to create a sense of unsafety which can be easily triggered in current life causing anxiety as a symptom02:50 Anxiety has a purpose - to keep us safe the amygdala will fire a warning signal to DO something to change our situation. Anxiety is normal - to draw your attention to something emotional that hasn't been resolved activating your sympathetic fight and flight system.05:00 A backbrain phenomenon from past trauma in your history that was unable to be processed.07:10 Lack of belonging, status, and safety can create physical symptoms of collapse including insomnia. Getting curious as to how to make your environment safer and learn how to soothe yourself.'10:00 Relational safety. Stressful, competitive, insecure environments.12:12 Managing anxiety with havening, breathwork, play and connection to overcome nervous dysregulation. How to collaborate with you body via sleep, diet and movement, especially walks in nature and allowing.14:40 Cognitive reframing - not being anxious about being anxious. Making friends with your anxiety.Not making it your identity. You are doing anxiety, showing this behaviour, especially when highly sensitive. It's not who you are.16:31 You are not ill, you lack the skills you need. I teach this at my monthly Community group calls (see my website below to book)17:50 Your focus matters - not broken but wounded.
