I survived the Southside of Chicago, 15 year stage 4 Cancer battle, more trauma than imaginable...been working in Mental health for 20 years...I have complex ptsd...no one understands my ptsd...sucks to be me!
Hi andrew . You are doing a great job at spreading knowledge with you podcasts . Is there a way you could add persian subtitle to them . Im sure a lot of iranians will aprecviate your work . Hope you the bests
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, steve_porassss . I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
For some children you’re forced into early adulthood at 11 was told I was the man of the house some of us lose the ability to play And it’s replaced with early maturity which gives you coping skills at an early age but also robbed you of your childhood thanks again appreciate what you do
Thank you for sharing. I noticed I started this behavior after my husband took his life 2016. I’ve now stopped the behavior I am hoping that I haven’t caused to much damage. Both of my kids are adults and seem to be doing well. I am aware that they just may not be able to share with me as they may not see me as supportive. I appreciate you & wishing you well my friend. 🙏🧠❤️☮️🌏🙏 ~Michelle
That's called parentification. When a child is expected to behave like an adult. Often taking care of parents' emotional needs and household responsibilities. ❤
@@TheBayAreaBackyardsBee Thank you for the insight knowledge is power and the more I learn the more it helps to get through the day sometimes appreciate you
@@TheBayAreaBackyardsBee I just noticed your tag I grew up in Redwood City union sheet-metal worker I even worked on the Stanford campus sometimes it’s a small world thanks again
reframing it as injury over disorder is very therapeutic for me and my brain. I remember the one thing that happened to me about a year and a half ago that changed my brain completely. It’s been an uphill battle mentally for me. Working on newness/ neuroplasticity has been helpful. I remember then this happened saying to my family “my brain my brain.” It truly felt like an injury occurred. I can’t explain it.
It's crazy and in a way therapeutic to read the comments on how many people struggle with PTSD and mental health. Kinda feels I'm not as lonely in all this
As someone who suffered for decades before ever learning about PTSD I have a strong impression that there's plenty more also suffering in silence and are not in the comments.
We're 20 years behind in revealed knowledge bcz of suppressed and withheld information from all levels of health.. .bcz of FDA, NIH, WHO, USDA, CDC, thank God for advocacy of free speech....keep pushing for info availabilty.
I went through a brutal divorce (or maybe a normal divorce) and lost my money, house and can now only see my son every other weekend (if the mother lets me). I definitely needed this.
I can't imagine how you felt/feel going through all that, really wishing you all the best ❤️ you're son will grow up eventually and be able to make his own choices, he'll understand one day that your absence wasn't your fault
Let me suggest (as a son who went through a brutal divorce) please please please just show him love. Do not position him as a go between. Do not burden him more than he is already burdened by everything that is going on. Just ask him questions. Just listen to his answers. Just love him. Just do fun things. Just raise love and banish hate. You’ll get through this but the damage done will be much less if you can bring love to every precious moment you two are together. I wish you both well.
@@paradox8960 😊 Hello, there are several websites that offer advice on how to get started with journaling. The good thing about this is that there are no set rules. It is a private personal diary that only you will write in and that only you will reread, perhaps in the future. So your notebook is only for you and you can write as much as you want. For example, I can tell you how I do it in case it helps you. 😉I write about ten minutes a day, more or less the time it takes me to drink a cup of tea, I always put the date, even if I write four lines, but I like to set the date in case in the future I want to reread or consult exactly something from that period .I like to be constant, so I write every day, even if it is just a line or two , but it is interesting because in the future you will be able to read what you were doing or thinking just that specific day a year ago or more, and I think it is really very valid for everyone, not only people who suffer from depression or anxiety or other pathologies ,it is a magnificent opportunity to express oneself everything that one feels or thinks on that precise day. Your diary becomes your inseparable close friend to whom you explain your problems, your next dreams, your fears, your goals, your personal disappointments or your new friendships, and hopes 😊❤ both happy and sad moments, always write it without problems of there being spelling mistakes or it is not well expressed or written properly ,do not worry, because only You will read it and it will give you more peace of mind when writing it ,knowing that no one is going to judge your writing , so simply write and enjoy yourself your time .Well, there are people who use their phone, but I prefer a notebook and a pen, I feel that I concentrate more, although both ways are good. 😊Think of Journaling as a few minutes a day dedicated to YOU and for you. I'm sure it will go very well for you, everyone talks about the benefits of self-esteem and health, so I encourage you to start today. Greetings. 😊 best wishes 😊
@@paradox8960 just write a few lines every day day with your thoughts and projects ,or how you feel , try to put the date so in a few weeks you might want to reread again and see how you felt those days 👍😊😉
Yes! Fund the teaching of resilience in our schools! Let's redirect away from the current negative coping mechanisms that are being pushed by social media and teachers/counselors who are woefully misinformed and misled. I love this! What a fantastic study. Thank you Dr. Carrion and Dr. Huberman. 🙏♥️
Thank you for this comment. Pure Edge's curricula and resources are free, because we believe every child deserve access to the supports that empower them to thrive. And so do the adults who serve them!
I believe that if the clear différenciation between PTSD and C- PTSD, as in complex PTSD, had been defined at the beginning of this discussion it would have been clearer.
I especially loved Dr Carrión’s mention of “belonging” and being “good citizens”, I like this departure from longevity and individualism that seems to be very pervasive in these spaces. His message is inspiring , hopeful and deeply appreciated.
Since I began my PTSD journey with reading "The Body Keeps The Score" I have doubted myself, others (pros) have doubted me, I have relapsed with booze, I have relapsed with mania, but looking back, the most progress I have made has been through the workbooks I read on PTSD and CPTSD. Yes, just reading workbooks and doing the exercises. That's all I did, and it has changed my life to the core. So, whatever anyone thinks about me, whatever I think about myself, doing the work that is put forth, has worked for me, so I will continue to do it. And probably for the rest of my life, so thank you for this further contribution to the space.
Right off the bat, I appreciate the comment about children NOT being resilient but on the other hand vulnerable. It is through coregulation with a stable caregiver that resilience is developed and survival stress mitigated. I personally am experiencing this dynamic with my own daughter who endured in utero trauma and medical trauma at birth from prematurity. I believe the “body keeps the score” and we need to recognize symptoms of survival stress in our children that may get imprinted as early as in the womb. Thank you for this podcast. It’s an ever increasingly important topic. We are now beginning to understand that psychological disorders of all kinds and physical illnesses are often born out of early developmental trauma and or shock trauma. The body and mind are in dynamic connection and can’t be effectively treated separately. This is why cognitive oriented modalities of treatment (talk therapy, CBT) may only be so beneficial.
We absolutely agree that children need to be taught skills and equipped with simple tools that help them cultivate resilience. And coregulation is key, which is why we teach adults those same skills!
He is amazing! Our curriculum is the subject of his research, and we are fortunate to partner with schools around the U.S., as well as support adults throughout the country and even internationally.
Can't wait to watch. I've had some really terrible things occur in my life 2015-2021 where I hardly have any memory of that time at all. I don't even remember my children when they were babies and toddlers (through this time). It's like I was there but not there. As much as I've grown and left a lot of that stuff behind me I still get triggers that throw me off the rails- sometimes for weeks on end. It's insane. I was with my children last weekend and had full blown panic attacks the entire time, something about my children reminds me of this time zone where I'm FUUUUUUUU**D up in the head and I just lose it. Definitely some kind of PTSD and I'd really like to move on from it. I'm not taking SSRIs. This can be done naturally somehow someway I know it can, I've made a lot of progress on my own.
One of the best episodes. Full of hope. It's fantastic to hear how mindfulness and yoga is implemented in schools and that these actions help children so much!! Keeping my fingers crossed!
I use all the tools! Meditation, prayer, somatic release, supplements, grounding, hypnosis. Mixed with modern psychology, spiritual practices & lots of education. Keep seeking. Keep forgiving. Keep practicing.
I’m interested to hear about the differences between anxiety, stress, and trauma, as well as their proper treatments, especially for children. Thanks Dr. Huberman and Dr. Carrión. I’m ready to learn. 📝

Tim Fletcher does a deep dive on CPTSD. Highly recommend. Also, his interview with Theo Von was pretty good.
Would you say watching this interview gives any more insights than Tim and the podcast with Theo had? Totally agree that podcast on Theo's podcast was very insightful
Just watched a PBS documentary about sleep called “The Mysteries of Sleep” that talked about sleep heightening the PTSD response when individuals went to sleep immediately after a traumatic event, whereas if they did normal tasks for several hours before going to sleep, they suffered less severe PTSD responses. This was demonstrated repeatedly with rats, and the consensus was that more study was needed for people. Sleep helps learning, whereas if you learn something new or novel and have a nap immediately after, individuals retained more of the learning. This was demonstrated with toddlers.
WOW resisting sleep might be a natural self defense reaction to protect our brains? To help us retain less of the days harsh events? Basically self induced memory loss? this might explain why we naturally delay our sleep when feeling anxious or after crazy events such as putting kids to bed (this is meant equally serious and humorous). I’ve always felt guilty for being the last one asleep in my house my whole life. The sleep deprivation has very negative effects but now I’m thinking it might help me stop resisting sleep if I focus on the fact that I am currently safe. That in my life, at the moment, my troubles would be greatly improved by more sleep instead of resisting it. That I don’t need to “forget” my days stresses by doing random stuff for hours instead of going to sleep. Wow.
as a young scientist, you are my hero and role model Dr. Huberman! i listen to your videos for hours everyday while i work in the lab, you make Mondays so much better!
@@hubermanlabas well as how many girls and women are not hyperactive on the outside, or perceived as hyperactive. I feel that a for a lot of us mothers especially “look” normal as we act like dogs chasing our tails in caring for the never ending tasks of child rearing and housekeeping. And then are told to just calm down or let it go or are presented the solution to “do more” while the kids are at school so you’re more “present” and calm later when everyone needs you to be more present yet spin you around with constant requests and needs in afternoons and evenings. Some of us have adhd look “normal” because what else would you expect in that kind of chaos? Or even better: our hormones cause hyper vigilance, a sort of ptsd simply from caring for children 24/7? I realize this was not a clean question but more of a food for thought. Yet another topic to explore scientifically so that a huge section of the population might feel less crazy. Hormones, child rearing, household managing, in context of an extremely individualistic culture.
Absolutely! And during menopause. Many women are afraid to talk about it and suffer in silence because most of society and most doctors are not educated about it enough. You lose quality of life if you don't know to manage it. My menopause started at 46. Education is key
@hubermanlab I was in a study that used nitro patches I think it was 4:months. My symptoms - I didn't sleep for 13 years was the main, I woke every 1-2 hours d/t night hot flashes. The study showed the connection with the heart.
I grew up facing a lot of challenges-moving from a third-world country, growing up in 4 different countries/3 different continents in my first 16 years of life, learning 4 new languages, and dealing with religious abuse as well as extreme racism. I NEVER thought of it as trauma (as we don't believe in such things back home and see emotions as weakness) until I started understanding it through Huberman’s podcast. I binge listened to the entire podcast. lt wasn’t until I started picturing my kids going through the same challenges I did at their ages that I realized the weight of it all!!! It broke me, and for the first time, I truly felt the emotions I had buried! This reflection has helped me heal in ways I never expected ♥️ Mister Huberman, Bless you and both your parents for giving us you ❤️🩹🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️ and thank you to your team for making all of this possible.
I used to smoke. Smoking reminded me of my loving parents, and believe it or not, was a comfort to me. I quit by sleeping a lot at first, but I forced myself to do jumping jacks and/take myself and usually the dog for a brisk walk. I guess I unknowingly retrained myself. 😀
He was in a great documentary called Resilience: The Science of Stress and the Biology of Hope by Jamie Redford. It’s on Netflix now. I showed it in like 30 places. It’s about childhood trauma, adult health, and what communities are doing about it.
If I could wave a magic wand and capture the world's attention for exactly 2 hours, 26 minutes, and 59 seconds, I'd make sure everyone listened to this episode. It’s that powerful!
So grateful for this podcast. Dr Carrion listed all that strategies that I've used myself to heal from cptsd, adhd, and chronic burnout. I started yoga practice 1 year ago. For the first year I only went once a week ( ish, depending whether I had a migraine). For the last 6 months I've built up from once a week to 4 to 6 times a week. The difference is remarkable. I've developed a tool kit that I use every day, and built habits in my life such as gratitude, breathwork, grounding and mindfullness. My life has completely changed❤I'm calm, happy, and energetic❤
I was 44 when i first mentioned "PTSD" telling about my childhood. After that, I was shocked that i had used it and that it is describing me and my life so well. I tried to remember what was happening in my early childhood, and I remember only childcare facility. Probably, it was so bad at home that i have no memories: dad, mom, grandparents. They must have been making something very wrong. I didn't want to go home after childcare, my mom says. I visited my family this year. The first visit in 15 years. They didn’t change. My kids were shocked by how my own parents treated me. Now, i am home, in a safe place, but everything's a trigger. My own voice triggers me: it reminds me of my mom, and all the trauma she and father caused. I hope to heal because it drives me crazy.
Hello Andrew this is one of your students from India, I'm preparing for a law exam which is this December and I've been procrastinating all day i can't get 1 thing done no matter what i do I've tried various things but nothing seems to work if you could guide me that would be very helpful
Was diagnosed with PTSD at 16 after an assault that took place when I was 14. Been living with it for almost 20 years now. But I am happy to say I am thriving! Therapy, faith and a great community saved my life.
Thank you. I have CPTSD and struggle with emotional flashbacks and depression. The work of Pete Walker, John Bradshaw and John & Linda Friel has been life saving.
The evolution of PTSD into PTSI (Injury) resonates as drastically more hopeful. There is the very real sensation that an injury can be healed, while a disorder is something that can be learned to be lived with. Freedom could potentially be expressed as a healed autonomic nervous system where there is a suppleness to the lever between S. Dominance and P. Dominance. So that we can all be more like a dog that can go from deep sleep to hypervigilance, and back again with tremendous ease. Muchísimo gracias a ti Dr. Victor Corriòn and thank you Dr. Huberman for your continued offerings to the global community. Also, in case this is helpful for anyone with elevated cortisol levels before bed, I find swinging in the hammock for at least 15 minutes very helpful. Not sure what the data is on hammock use, but I find it very helpful for relaxing before bed.
Spent 19 years with a covert narcissist, and I had no idea because I did not have the words. I just thought he was insecure, had a bad childhood, is stressed etc. out of it for 4 years and still can’t see him without having a visceral reaction. PTSD is soooooo Interesting. Thanks for more enlightenment
Thank you so very much for this, Andrew and Victor. I feel seen and respected. Keep up the great work and thanks for the love you both share with the world.
Looking forward to this one knowledge is power and when you’re broken you can’t get enough insight to deal with the demons appreciate what you do have a great day
As a teacher for more than 30 years, I often fought the diagnosis of ADHD which did not seem very scientific to me, based on a simple checklist and the children were sent to one doctor and they always came back with the diagnosis. Pills became a substitute for discipline in the home and at school. Then it becomes an excuse for not being accountable for learning where you can memorize all of the steps for a video game but math facts are deemed not fun and not required. If you look now, almost everyone has a diagnosis of some sort. I agree that there are few mental health services available, especially for low income or immigrant students. I found it interesting to hear scientific solutions to this problem.
I am grateful that you are covering this, esp the neuro-biological aspects of PTSD. it's exhausting explaining that I can't _control_ the way that I react to triggers (thanks to my trauma therapist in late 2019/early 2020 for this understanding..). 1 Jan 2012 (hmm wary of well, 'trigger warning' content for others) was my PTSD incident. which, as of 2021, deteriorated into fibromyalgia. took me until.. 2018 to get _some_ help - EMDR (only I felt more like a guinea pig for her professional development, can't SAY that can I? bite the only hand who _might- help (instead of traumatizing me more - seriously - more traumatic than original incident, some of this 'help' - that was 2016 - right now - 2024 nothing - again, not since 2020. no help, no support system. banging head against a maze of brick walls.
I feel quite the opposite. Knowing that cortisol and brain regions are involved is only helpful in creating drugs. not in treating the underlying thoughts and beliefs that are at the core of our neurobiology
Literally, going out into cold weather does the same thing as a cold plunge does for me. I hate both 😂 but my body loves them and responds very well to both. It has become a mind over matter thing. I can even get warm after subjecting myself to that torture for a time
Just about every abused and distressed person recognizes that self-harm relieves their distress. Doesn't mean you should do it. It is an act of desperation in someone that has no other, more mature and effective, coping skills.
Ppl are very good at projecting their energy off on others, sometimes not intentionally nor mindfully, they just do. Self control is underrated. Learning the compassionate art of sitting in the discomfort of being around others when they do what they do, sort of like we seem to be able to teach ourselves to do in uncomfortable environments to get paid or whatever We can tolerate children better than adults, especially when we can diagnose them with behavioral issues
such an excellent episode. i dont know where else to pose this question and seeing as you say you read all the comments... just wondering if you could do an episode regarding dysautonomia and its umbrella issues like POTS and MCAS etc?
Because more than 70 million people are living with Dysautonomia, which isn't taught in medical school, a deep dive can help millions of people. While POTS is the most common form of Dysautonomia what's poorly understood, by patients and practitioners, is that POTS is heterogeneous, there's multiple subtypes, it can be secondary to other medical conditions, there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to the treatment of symptoms and treating solely symptoms is like putting a Band-Aid on a damn. What's more, compression socks, exercise and increasing salt & water intake is almost always, without exception, the first line of treatment when the cause is not yet known. This approach doesn't address the root cause of the ANS dysfunction or the associated comorbidities independent of SNS activation caused by postural change so the burden is on the patient in more ways than one.
Adaptation vs resilience 😍 good inspection Dr C. My bounce back game has been on point, but acceptance and keen mindfulness/awareness is getting me closer to adaptation- bouncing back to a different and better place upon the return. Accurate agility, especially mentally.
Great video! You should do a video in the future on treatments for Borderline Personality Disorder. It's something I struggle deeply with as well as ADHD and anxiety, but the BPD and anxiety are a constant struggle. Yoga and meditation have been helping me as well as being mindful of how I speak to myself. I am 22 and I try to take care of myself, but find it hard to find accurate info on the best treatments. Thank you for the videos they really do help.
Creating Space = Creating boundaries at different distances, a buffer zone, for the things/people that disrupt our inner peace the most. It's a way of quieting the noise to hear what the silence has to say.
I’ve heard you talk a bit about the benefits of bright light shortly after waking up. As someone who gets up well before the sunrise, what kind of artificial light would count as bright light, and what is the best way to view it? (Is being in a room with the lights on good enough, or does it need to be a more focused source of light aimed at your face?)
Very interesting. Thank you!!! I am a bit surprised that with something like PTSD with elevated chatecholamins there is no mentioning of the impact of SNP in the COMT enzyme, especially low functioning COMT enzyme as it leads to even higher chatecholamins (and other neurotransmitters like histamine, glutamate and dopamine). Quite the opposite of a depressive state!
Awesome interview, this is a very important topic. I think its so important to address ptsd at a young level. Hopefully help these children to be able to manage their stress early in their lives. Thank you for sharing.
You're amazing. It's great that you have so much experience with neuroscience and I appreciate that you're helping to bridge the gap between your practice and the psychology of the condition that you're explaining. It's necessary to understand the cause of the condition as well as the neurological effect . As for meditation because of some of what caused me to develop this condition I experience an array of negative reactions to any type of relaxation. .
I'm sorry too. I got my things mixed up. It's not your fault. And the fact that trust that people you try to help says everything that's good about you.
You're the best and greatest psychologist I've ever listened to. I'm really I got to hear you talk and that you freely give your time to share what you can to help people.
I think it's possible you might have some type of ptsd. This is something that I think needs to be subcategorized. Based on my experiences theres different types of ptsd, and I think it's a good idea to identify the different kinds and how each affects the brain body and mind.
Andrew, please find a guest to talk about Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) also called ‘Parts Work’, a therapy for healing from trauma. I will pay a large amount of money to see this, please. Thank tou
Another great podcast interview for the books, Dr Huberman 🙌🏾🏁 Thank you for your time and knowledge Dr Carrion! Your techniques for coping skills are very innovative. empowerment is my gift and turning myself into a certified yogi (after a lupus sle diagnosis) has saved my nervous system and vagus nerve navigation for learning how to stress manage over time when it comes to happening to life and not just letting life happen to me. It’s about the narrative, indeed. Yes, We Can!!!
I don’t think there’s a single answer for that but probably avoid in the hour before bed and the hour first thing after waking. I now keep my social media on an old phone and only take that phone out to post or read. Maximum one hour per day and often less. But I listen to podcasts and read books and listen to audible books.
@hubermanlab I'm so glad you replied! I’ve listened to all your episodes where you mention that you actually read the comments, and now I have proof! 😂 Thank you so much for your incredible content, Dr. Huberman.
This was such an interesting topic and wonderful guest. I do have one critique though (apologies): sometimes you (Andrew) explain your questions at such length, and go on so many tangents, that the guest hardly has time to reply. You have my sympathy because I’m guilty of this tendency myself, but I think it would serve these conversations if you could hold back a little. That said, thanks for all that you do 🙏
Empirical research for innovative treatments that work! Talking my language now!!! Mental health, science, and medicine with spirituality intervention practices. I’ll definitely be following closely, Dr C! Intersectionality is so important!!!! Agreed, Dr Huberman. Beyond the silos and isolation. Bridging across different analyses and complexities. Stanford collaborations will definitely be apart of my clinical practices beyond dissertation and possibly residency post neuroscience graduate studies at Johns Hopkins. Very Exciting!!
I would've liked if this conversation talked more about interpersonal relationships. It's clear that the number 1 risk factor for PTSD is not having a support network. It's when you go through something hard and you feel there is no one to talk to or that no one would understand. All this scientific mumbo jumbo is distracting from the fact that people need people, not coping mechanisms.
