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 response
01:50 Liam Payne - the stimulus of fame and then rejection is overwhelming to a sensitised brain
02:49 Not a moral failure - the importance of 12 step programmes to provide safety in a tribe but it often fails when people leave
04:39 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 behaviours
06:13 The way the craving brain works - the seeking system does not turn off in a sensitised brain because of low levels of serotonin - a neuroregulator
08:12 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 repressed
17:02 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 need to teach these psychosensory methods, particularly working with a practitioner.*If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*

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 history
02:34 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 therapy
07:04 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 uncertainty
14:09 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*

For the paper I'm referring to go here https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550830718301848
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.*If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*

Please see this article for a scientific summary of the recent work of Ronald R Ruden in re-consolidating memory
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550830718301848#sec0003
This is the havening video i mention at 12.20
https://youtu.be/S6nQiNtuOoc
00:00 intro - Retraumatisation and implicit memory. 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 physiology
12:50 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.

In this book review I consider the idea that what we perceive as reality is in fact an interface much like seeing icons on your desktop. This is the astounding idea of scientist and philosopher Donald R Hoffman..
In this review find out what I thought of the book and its astonishing hypothesis of 'Fitness Beats Truth' (FBT) theorem and how it's the payoff for being able to interact with our world in a meaningful way that beats true perception of reality.
00:00 intro to book and his interface theory
02:50 conscious agents (that's us) interact with a simulation of the world
03:42 origin of consciousness - hard problem is solved if consciousness is fundamental
05:30 format of the book - a great idea but some formatting, style and repetition issues
07:44 position of conscious realism vs. panpsychism - the philosophical basis - immaterial?
09:51 Time expands and contracts depending on our focus/interaction

00:00 How Jenny started working with clients with CFS/ME
03:00 How the patterns became so clear led to explore solutions and begin teaching
05:06 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 models
11:14 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 clients
13:46 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 said
15:50 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 self
20:00 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 narrative
24:13 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/woke
30:49 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 wholeness
32:46 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. Wild unleasing - true feminine energy/power
36:50 Final thoughts. Let go and let it unfold.

The new film about photographer and war correspondent Lee Miller does not shirk the hard stuff. From covering the liberation of Europe (and especially the concentration camps) to her experience as woman excluded and violated in childhood.
00:00 Intro to Lee Miller: model, photographer and war correspondent.
02:56 War breaks out and how she got to be a war correspondent for the US government.
04:38 Liberation of the concentration camps and the effect on her and fellow photographer David Sherman
06:06 Why Lee chose to go into danger and conflict - how her personal experience of sexual abuse changed the course of her life. Trauma begets trauma as you seek the familiar.
08:50 Difficulty with relationships including that with her son Anthony no doubt affected by her alcoholism.
11:02 In denial of your vulnerability makes it difficult to parent. ACE's (adverse childhood experiences) live on as a feeling of unsafety in your life or body.
13:05 Tools and techniques to reverse the pattern stored in the body - rewriting unconscious responses are now available (sadly not for Lee and her trauma).

Anxiety is a common problem for athletes:
00:00 Intro and how I got into somatic trauma work
03:40 Chronic anxiety is a natural response to past experience stored in your body in a feedback loop with your limbic brain
06:50 The body cannot lie - it will reveal the truth of your unmet emotional needs from childhood as symptoms
09:20 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. Books and courses.*If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*

I've been looking at innovative new therapies to help calm the mindbody as I'm writing my book Mind Medicine (soon to be published 6th September).
Here I give a summary of how and why it works and what my experience was recently.
Catch the original paper I am referring to here which outlines the medical benefits https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451902218300491
00:00 Intro to dark therapy/dark therapy/floatation (sometimes referred as sensory deprivation)
01:30 The practical aspects of floating in salty water - lighting, temperature are all controllable.
03:05 Why it works - muscular relaxation from floating in Epsom salts high in magnesium, feedback loop to brain is changed - reduction in anxiety from quieting the Default Mode Network
07:00 Neurological benefits - interoceptive feedback, increases heart rate variability HRV increases wellbeing
09:30 The hynogogic state increases internal focus and changes the DMN coupling away from mental chatter towards internal homoestasis
12:20 the effect of stress and changing your brainwaves. the importance of setting.

By special request - more info from the book The Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg on the importance of the myelin sheath in transmission of energy throughout the body - and what can go wrong with Electromagnetic pollution.
00:00 Intro to the book
02:00 The importance of electrical energy in healing damaged tissue - porphyrins as transmitters of energy within cells - haemoglobin in red blood cells
05:16 Electrical polarity of the brain can be reversed to cause anaesthesia, pain reduction and healing
08:00 Porphyrins are energy transmitters in the mitochondria (as cytochrome c in the electron transport chain) but also those in the myelin sheath complexed with zinc, (chlorophyll uses magnesium, haem uses Iron).
11:00 With a porphyrin manufacture problem excess precursors builds up in tissue along with excess zinc causing hyper excitability of the neurons - predisposes to electro-sensitivity and chronic fatigue syndrome?
13:06 Robert Becker's investigation in bioelectric healing in bone and nerves - electro-chemical transmission allows much of our activity
16:25 'Currents of injury' - point to another information system that allows regeneration and healing
18:17 Myelin sheaths/Schwann/glial cells are intimately involved in signal transmission and energy production in the brain and nervous system
19:45 Electro-chemical sensitivity may interact with high zinc in brain and nerves, and other parts of body. EDTA (a chelators) complexes Zn and will take it out the body and can reverse cognitive decline
22:00 90% of oxygen consumption occurs in brain from glial cells - myelin may be the major energy powerhouse completely independent of mitochondria
24:02 Excess zinc is everywhere in the environment, car tyres a major factor along with denture cream, water supply, etc.
25:40 Are highly sensitive people (HSP's) the canaries in the coalmine with problems in the porphyrin pathways? What can we do to protect ourselves particularly during sleep and add highly coloured foods into our diet.

A book review and interpretation of Martha Beck's wonderfully illuminating book The Way of Integrity based on Dante's The Divine Comedy as a book of an existential midlife crisis!
Martha takes us through the process of recovery from this through
The Dark Wood of Error
The Inferno
Purgatory
Paradise
based on her experience and the lessons she learned about being true to yourself.
My take on this is told through the lens of the people I have worked with as well as my own experience
A great book. Find out why.

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 symptoms
00:00 Sarno's revolutionary ideas of psycho-somatic (mindbody) medicine
02:45 The divided mind - pain and emotional centres in the brain are closely linked
04:20 Unconscious emotions from early childhood repressed by personality traits of goodism, perfectionism as unacceptable
06:52 My story of unconscious repression of rage/ anger or rebellion plus guilt, fear or grief
09:25 The need for control - narcissism and the dismay when illness, divorce, etc strikes
12:16 past & present experience accumulate to speak for you - the symptom imperative
14:42 Biomedical medicine treats the body symptoms only
15:11 Other recommended books - including mine The Scar that won't Heal, The Hidden Psychology of Pain
16:29 Mainstream medicine slowly taking on this view. Accept the brain creates pain and deal with underlying emotions*If you're suffering from Chronic pain, fatigue or anxiety, I CAN HELP*

Talking about pain from a mindbody perspective and how to heal.
00:00 Intro and why I'm talking about pain today
01:30 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 brain
08:20 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 triggers
12:24 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 solution
14:13 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*
