If we don't address it, the trauma that occurred way back in childhood can negatively affect our health and happiness as adults. Here's how it works.

With its strong connections to the emotional and survival regions of the brain, the right brain oversees the non-verbal, non-conscious processing of memories. It imprints childhood memories, which are experienced asEven after the left brain fully develops, the right brain will remain dominant for the emotional processing of traumatic memories because the left brain goes off-line during overwhelming stress. It’s as though the brain says, “This is an emergency.

Immune dysfunction–Too much cortisol suppresses immunity, leaving us vulnerable to colds, flu, and other infections. Too little cortisol allows the immune system to become over-reactive, putting us at risk for autoimmune disorders. Toxic stress in the early years can impair the immune system’s ability to distinguish friend from foe.Disrupted sleep and mood

Trauma

AimeeAwakens yes sometimes we need to address things that have happened early on so that it doesnt bring about conflict between us later on down the track one of the main causes for fights and disagreements is lack of communication and lack of listening

This company took $39.97 for a subscription and never sent me a single copy. I disputed the charges on my credit card and Psych Today insisted it was a valid charge. I’ve been waiting for 8 months to get $39.97 back. Please do not subscribe to their magazine.

What if you have selective amnesia to protect you? Like DID? What if you can’t confront traumatizers who have died? What if even te ones alive can hide behind a shell f no guilt fr their abuse? How do you heal?

Coming to terms with the past is not easy, but essentially necessary to truly live in the present.

it is so important not to try and shut out your feelings and emotions talking about them is really important with someone you trust that is the only way that you are going to be able to truly heal from your past experiences and move forward into the future

so true ive seen the damage that not talking about things can do so many people just dont want to talk about problems with you they would rather walk away from conflict cut you off block you stop talking to you start to give you the silent treatment stonewalling you

14/ Best Wishes from a 12 year emotional researcher with PTSD who lives this on a daily basis. I ran into the DEATHS of many people and pets and the shock and trauma of that in childhood, and the technique helped stop the shock and emotional signals. Proof of Concept.

13/ Transferred to normal memory is 'Catharsis'... as Freud and his mentor, Dr. Breuer found, my findings validate much of their work. The Childhood emotional signals continue and build by MOMENTUM, the continuing of the ENERGY IN MOTION... we stop that motion, which helps.

12/ Now a person can use a technique to recall and DISCHARGE the emotional trauma of long forgotten events in childhood. And not just childhood... When memories of forgotten traumas are looked at consciously they transfer to regular memory and become DEACTIVATED...

11/ If anyone is interested in the technique or my research, I invite you to learn more about it on my blog: My Ebook of my 10 years of research teaches the technique: As does my paperback-

10/ These are some things the technique works on: suicidal thoughts, flashbacks, panic attacks, Aggravation, Anger, Hate, Hostility, sadness, grief, guilt, worthlessness, hopelessness, Fears Stress, Intimidation, Shyness, Worry, Horror, Terror, Panic and MORE

9/ See my other podcasts down the list. 4 and 6 are a good starting place. A person does not need a practitioner to work this technique on a person. It is a SOLO technique. We name that emotion. Address it as an emotional charge, and do the technique, it is TRULY that simple...

8/ This stops the SIGNAL, stops the Flashback...stops the PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNALS in the brain to organs and glands...Cortisol stops pumping, effects lessen... and as the emotional energy is drained... DOES NOT USUALLY RETURN. This is observed data and results.

7/ The technique I discovered in 2009 works on this because it works on Emotional Charge itself...regardless of SOURCE. Now, or 'forgotten past trauma'... Forgotten Childhood Traumas... can be remembered and the emotional charge discharged out of them...

6/ THUS, The Emotional Charge is held in memories, and stored in the subconscious memory...not just conscious memory, or short-term memory. So: 1. Monitoring was set up subconsciously. 2. Associations made. 3. Reminders perceived. 4. Triggers, fires off signal = 5. Flashback

5/ When a similarity is perceive, the SubC is Reminded of the association and TRIGGERS a flashback. If recent this can be visuals and audio of the traumatic event, if a forgotten trauma event, it may ONLY BE THE EMOTION...'out of the blue'...happened to me...

4/ A person has a negative experience, the subconscious records, (this is NOT the brain processes), then indexes, and references the experience, and makes associations. It then MONITORS for any similarity in its anxiety that it should happen again.

3/, which was found by Dr. Josef Breuer in the 1880's. I studied this for 2 years in the mid 70s, and find it still valid today. There is an INTERNAL mental mechanism for this in the subconscious mind...

2/ which sets off the physiological signals, chemicals, and re-releases more stress hormones in real time. My podcast is on Psychosomatic Events and Phenomena, and how at the CORE of a psychosomatic event is an emotional disturbance...

1/ In my emotional research of the last near 13 years, I found it is the emotions that produce this. It is a Psychosomatic Phenomena. The subconscious mind holds associations with childhood memories, and triggers emotional flashbacks, this is a revivification of the emotion....

Trauma is a tough thing to go through. Anyone who hasn't healed yet - know there is a way out, and there are people willing to help.

Duh

❤️I definitely find staying in therapy for my entire life since I’m 15 has helped me. Nobody was doing it because it was so expensive Catholic charities really helped me as a kid💯Putting frankincense on my brain every day helps so much as well

8/ Best wishes from a 12 year emotional researcher with PTSD. I have stopped MANY psychosomatic events, flashbacks, and other trauma related phenomena with this technique...as have others. Even severe, long term depression issues... listen to my other podcasts.

7/ these events are a type of flashback, and are continuing the momentum of the negative experience. The ENERGY continues until it is dissipated. The technique is easy, it can still take time and persistence. Many things continuing from childhood are NOT FROM TRAUMA. BUT PLEASURE

6/ Now a person can have a personal technique they can use to go back and finally PROCESS 'adverse childhood experiences', Childhood Trauma. They can dissipate this negative emotional energy, and AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE FOR THEM... to heal, and feel better...

5/ If anyone is interested in the technique or my research, I invite you to learn more about it on my blog: My Ebook of my 10 years of research teaches the technique: As does my paperback-

4/These are some things the technique works on: suicidal thoughts, flashbacks, panic attacks, Aggravation, Anger, Hate, Hostility, sadness, grief, guilt, worthlessness, hopelessness, Fears Stress, Intimidation, Shyness, Worry, Horror, Terror, Panic and MORE

3/ 'dysregulated pressure'. Emotional Charge is that pressure. Emotional pressure. We target, reduce and stop that 'Pressure Charge' with the technique I discovered in 2009. Easy to do, even with my PTSD.

2. Josef Breuer; 1893... My podcast: This is a long podcast, about an hour, on psychosomatic events, and phenomena and how the technique can help stop issues. I use the technique on this stuff. I am not the only one. Give a listen.

1/ Bingo. Emotional Charge at work. Psychosomatic Phenomena. Store emotional responses that can trigger due to overstress decades later. A type of breakdown occurs. It is a Psychosomatic process from the childhood emotional charge that is stored in deep memory: Forgotten Trauma.

What is supposed to be 'new' about this? It is stated as though it is a new revelation of some kind. Psyche and soma are one and insults to both begin before the cradle. NOT Rocket Science...

A brilliantly clear, informative article.

arttherapyproj This seems very logical to expect childhood trauma to affect an adult’s sense of well being. We need to hear more of HOW to reverse the stress overload in adulthood carried from childhood. HOW to undo the damage. HOW to rewire the brain to let it out and let it go. Maybe artTX?
