for last weeks introductory talk about Ronald Ruden's discovery go here https://youtu.be/kltZn4ji3Tc
Ronald has also written two superb books When the Past is Always Present and The Craving Brain
For a typical discussion on depression and anxiety (albeit a very helpful one but one which doesn't mention the traumatic origin) see here with neuroscientist David Eagleman. Although they touch on electrotherapy as a possible solution.
00:00 Intro and what's missing from the discussion on anxiety and depression
02:00 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 child
05:00 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 losses
16:10 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. Mindbody an electrical system - dysfunctional circuitry can be changed by a change of brainwave states breaks the chain of unconscious (implicit) memory.
