How to tame a tantrum || Storytime with Irene Lyon 

💚💚💚

Hi there, Susan here from Team Lyon. If you are looking for more videos from Irene on the topic of kids and parenting, she has created a playlist titled 'Kids. Children. Raising Healthy Humans. Parenting.', which you can find here - ru-vid.com/group/PL_tIcR-r0CU7ILnciQbAUULSBimkIMDHn

Circumcision is preverbal somatic trauma and male genital mutilation. Irene has stated that circumcision is childhood trauma of the preverbal kind. Please make sure to protect him from doctors and nurses that may try to forcibly retract his intact penis out of ignorance. Only clean what is seen, the foreskin does not retract until age 10.5 on average because it is fused to the head of the penis, so forcible retraction is super harmful! More info: The body stores the trauma via survival stress physiology of the nervous system. Look up Somatic Experiencing and Irene Lyon for more info. She is a practitioner that will give you all the info on Polyvagal theory and how trauma is stored in the body with references, books and other supporting info from dozens of other practitioners and researchers who have hundreds of other citations themselves. Somatic Experiencing and the somatic modalities of psychotherapy in general have been the most effective way for me to deal with trauma and actually release it and teach my body that it is now safe for it to truly get out of flight fight freeze to begin to actually rest and repair and heal. Chronic illness is most often just trapped trauma to the point where the body can't keep up with repairs so it looks like disease. Of you're in fight flight freeze, you don't repair and recover properly. This is why people with more adverse childhood events have much more chronic illnesses and symptoms. Preverbal somatic trauma is real. Before you can speak and consciously recall memories of the time when you were a baby, you can be traumatized because you can feel pain and threat if you are not attended to by an attuned adult. This puts you fight flight freeze, but since you're a baby you cannot fight or flee, you go into preservation mode and numb out and disassociate. What we do to babies matters. Think about circumcision. Male genital mutilation is the en masse sexual damaging and truamatization of over 1 million boys a year in the USA alone. 1.4 million in 2022 in USA alone. This is a human rights violation that traumatizes the baby boy. Men don't even have rights over their own cocks, and they deserve the basic human right of all their genitals. If it is not a life saving procedure it is mutilation. Normalize NOT cutting up your sons' cocks, America. Normalize men owning their own cocks, and not having their cocks be public property of their parents and America. Circumcision, male genital mutilation, is immoral and disgusting. Most Americans, conservatives or liberals, love to ignore this. The USA mutilated 1.4 million baby boys in 2022 alone. Over 4,000 a day. 80.5% of men in USA are cut, no consent, they don't know how authentic sex feels like. Then the USA jokes about circumcision in their crappy TV shows and movies. Only a slave would joke about his own violation and the violation of other baby boys. Christians in your country can't read the New Testament properly, it seems. Apostle Paul calls circumcision mutilation and emasculation. Foregen is a biotech company that is fully reversing circumcision with regenerative medicine. This is beyond foreskin restoration which doesn't bring back the inner mucosal lining, Meissner's corpuscles, fine touch receptors, and other musculature like the dartos muscle. Over 6500+ species of mammals have foreskins. That isn't a mistake. Do animals take better care of themselves than humans? Europe knows better, Japan, too...the majority of the world, in fact. His penis is his own, it's not the family penis. To deny any of this is to be emotionally avoidant, willfully ignorant - and from ignorance comes acts of evil.

@@Prince_Sheogorath I agree with you!! Thank you for this information!!

The key is to regulate your own system ie. eat, sleep, breathe what Irene teaches. As your regulation increases you'll become more and more intuitive and empathic towards your child (and everyone else!) 😊 Best of luck and congrats ❤

@dianeshoemaker6591, Jen here from Team Lyon. It's good to hear that this video was helpful in understanding yourself a little more. Irene has a few other videos on the topic of early developmental trauma (EDT). I'll share a few links in case they're of interest to you. This lady deserves a gold star. My long form interview with Kathy Kain - irenelyon.com/2018/12/18/this-lady-deserves-a-gold-star-my-long-form-interview-with-kathy-kain/ Q&A w/ Irene, Seth, & Janice. Special focus on healing early & developmental trauma - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-78Qix0D6eLk.html

I will add what she said about kids who don’t respond to the smiles of a stranger. It can actually be a sign of healthy attachment. That is the way nature designed so that children wouldn’t wander off with people who weren’t their safe tribe. Children with disorganised or damaged attachments will sometimes go to anyone and seek connection from anyone as it is wired in them to receive that yet their needs are not being met in attachment. Not always but sometimes this is the case.

Hello, Sophia from Team Lyon here. While we cannot offer consultations here I highly suggest you check this playlist specifically for the topic of children ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SP6lGWzbiuQ.html

@ashleyhart8524, thanks for letting us know. I'll pass this info along to the team. - Jen from Team Lyon
