Why People Bounce Their Leg 

Totally Me..my mom tells me the same thing..i'll stop or try to stop but i'll start back until i stop on my own which is not forced and i don't realized I've stopped..

Same

Yes and anxiety is caused by previous trauma that has not been addressed. So your instinct was correct. You have a lot of stored trauma that is trying to get out

it can also be as sign of ADHD and/or Autism, maybe you should also look into that as well

@@kennyweiss Why do we need to let it out? Isn't our brain trying to protect us by capping it off? Building a brick wall of sorts around those memories... wouldn't it be better to strengthen the wall?

We can never outrun our trauma or are struggles. It always shows up in our body. Great perception on your part to notice the change. well Done!

Here is a new video I did that describes the neuroscience behind why we bounce our leg and what to do if a person wants to stop it. Hope it helps you. ;-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wo6o4yChtOI.html

This is exactly the response I was looking for!

👍 👍

For me, that makes sense

beautifully put

Your reason that the original cause behind those behavior-induced actions is different with every person is so... True!

As you can see from the video and all of the comments that is a sign of unhealed trauma. A suggestion would be to go to my website, www.thegreatnesssmovement.com, and user "resources," print out a "feelings list." Then when you sit, look through that list and discover what it is you are feeling, and then ask yourself where in your body are you feeling it? If you can't recognize it, force yourself to stop bouncing your leg. At that point, big feelings will surface and you will then feel them in your body. Then ask yourself, "when was the first time I felt this feeling as a child?" You will then be flooded with different painful memories from your childhood and for the first time, you will know what pain it is that you get to decide if you want to heal so that you can no longer be living in that constant fear and pain that your bouncing leg is trying to communicate to you that you are stuck in. If you decide you want to live without that pain and fear I would suggest you get my book as a first place to start helping that pain.

@@kennyweiss Could it possibly be an anxiety and stress issue? I'm nineteen and my parents just got a divorce last year, but before then, the effects of the toxic relationship between my parents caused me to be pretty stressed and confused growing up and I've suffered with a mild(it's gotten worse lately) anxiety issue for as long as I can remember... So that's been my guess about the knee bouncing.

@@JustCameronT Yes you are exactly right. All anxiety issues are caused by previous trauma that has never been released and healed. That is what anxiety is. The clinical definition of stress is fear. So yes, you are struggling with deep trauma issues going back "as far as you can remember" and your body is in a constant state of fear (stress) and anxiety from never being given the skills, tools and knowledge to over come the original trauma which is now being expressed as anxiety, fear and leg bouncing. If you want to begin the process of healing I suggest you watch all of my videos even if the title sounds like it has nothing to do with your condition because in each video you will learn a piece of the healing puzzle. I would also suggest you get a copy of my book, Your Journey To Success. It can be found on Amazon. If you really want the full process I also work with individuals and have a whole online University that will give you the process to heal your pain and get your life back.

@@kennyweiss Thank you! I really appreciate that you remembered this conversation and came back to let me know about that video! 🙂

Bingo!

@@nicoobrowner Same as me, 63 now and still looking for the correct answer I am one of 5 siblings but the only one who has shaken my leg and all my life. Undiagnosed ADHD lol

You're living my dream 😢

Yes, we store all of our emotional trauma in us physically. That unhealed trauma is the primary cause of all illness and disease.

I read this today and it resonated with me: "The nervous system is the interface between consciousness and physiology." That makes perfect sense to me and more and more people are waking up to the reality of this in big part thanks to teachers and coaches like you. Why it took us so long to realize this is true? Who knows.

@@RantTherapist Yes, that has been known for many years and there are 2 main reasons why the general public doesn't know this and is being robbed of real health and real solutions. To start, nearly every medical school is funded my the drug companies so they have a vested interest in all doctors being trained to believe that pills are the solution. Secondly, only a very few I believe it is less than 5 medical schools EVEN CONSIDER emotions as a source of health problems. Most schools the word "trauma" or the idea that emotional trauma plays a role in health isn't even mentioned once! That is completely insane when there are so many studies showing that our emotion dis regulation changes, DNA.....and is basically the single greatest driver of all health conditions. It goes back to everything I wrote about in my book and how shame and denial work. The medical profession is literal living proof of the worst day cycle. They are stuck in massive denial.

I tap my leg, when I lay down I shake it side to side my partner says I do it when I sleep. Also if I'm laid in a funny way my hip start going.

@@dannyredmond776 I used to do something similar Danny. When I was a child I used to have to kick my leg in bed to fall asleep. All of those actions are an attempt to release the emotional trauma we haven't yet faced.

Glad you liked it!

Yes and the cause of anxiety is fear/pain/trauma that has not been processed. Almost always moments from childhood. That is why none of the anxiety medications work. They only blunt and cover over the symptoms. To heal anxiety it requires emotional mastery which is what my skillset and expertise is non. From my book, to my videos to my online university and my individual coaching. Until that emotional pain is faced and overcome and new emotions are put in place, the anxiety/nervous leg will continue

that happens to me too, but i always just dismiss it.

Wow!

That sounds frustrating but let me give you some insight to help you with that. First of all, we NEVER make anyone feel anything. That is one of the biggest false truths out there that none of us have been taught. That we actually have the power to make a person feel something good or bad. Each person chooses how they think and feel about any person or situation. The belief that we have that power over people or that they have that power over us is something called codependence. In other words, we are giving up our own inherent power and "depending" on someone else to make us think or feel better. So when you start getting mad..... ask yourself, where in my body do I feel this anger? Then ask yourself, when was the first time I felt this feeling? Most likely you will have a memory from childhood when your parents, friends, teacher...sent the message that you were somehow bad, wrong, not enough. So in that moment what you are really experiencing is your own unhealed pain from your childhood. The person bouncing their leg is experiencing the exact same unhealed scenario. Each of you is choosing to have a thought/feeling based on your own pain from the past and therefore, the other person is never responsible for that. The secret is to make the choice to gain Emotional Mastery (all the things I teach) so that both people are no longer codependent but are now self empowered.

When we are raised by a person who lives in so much fear and superstition, their fear actually transfers into us as a child. It would be very normal for a child to develop a bouncing leg, knuckle cracking, finger nail biting or other ways to try and release the state fo fear the child (now adult) is carrying for that parent.

Yes, exactly. They are all based on that part of the brain being stuck and each person picks their own unique way of trying to regulate the unhealed energy/trauma

Yes and that’s because your body is trying to send you a message that it would be beneficial if you uncover and heal the pain from your past. If you don’t know how to do that I have several videos that teach you how plus I’ve written a book

@@kennyweiss thanks Kenny!

@@DeadpoolGames19 of course

Those are two overwhelming emotional traumas. I’m really sad you experienced both of those. I hope you take time out for yourself and find someone to talk to and help you release your sadness and pain.

I am really sad to hear everything you went through. Those are very sad and painful experiences and it is no wonder you bounce your leg. That is a lot of stored trauma that has never been healed.

In general, it is an attempt to allow you to focus but yes, if the underlying trauma were addressed you would be able to focus more acutely and for longer periods which would help you. Meditation is a great place to start. I also have a free download on my website, www.thegreatnessuniversity.com called 10 steps to heal your emotional pain. It can be found under the free content tab. That will really help you as well.

So happy you are doing the work to get your peace and freedom back. If you would like to learn the process how to release that pain, my podcast this weekend walks you through it in detail It would really help you. Here is the link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C0E8Ed_T3LY.html

That would tell me you went through trauma of some sort at that age that has never been addressed. You are describing PTSD symptoms.

@@kennyweiss There’s also the occasional random shivers or twitches, they’ve been there for years since I was 7. I think it’s normal, but it’s strange since it’s always in a certain place such as at the back of my neck and it makes my head move slightly. It’s not noticeable but it’s there and it’s really weird.

@@kennyweiss And whenever alone in a room I’ll impulsively check behind me. It’s always been a habit of mine since an incident that happened at school, I’m also extremely afraid of people putting their hands near my neck (as in hugs around your neck) and I will yell, stiffen or get shocked when they do.

@@tears2974 Well those are not normal, those are most likely PTSD related and are definite signs of unhealed trauma.

@@tears2974 This is the disconnect most people have and the denial mechanism at play. Even in your description you admit you went through a traumatic experience but you are unsure what is causing your fear and why you impulsively check behind you even now as an adult. You are literally admitting to yourself that you have unhealed trauma but at the same time not admitting it. That breaks my heart for you that you are stuck in so much fear and pain from unhealed trauma in your past .

I am always in support of people doing what they feel is best for them. If you don't want to heal the pain from the past you have every right to not do that. In regard to anxiety, I am not sure if you are aware of this but anxiety is caused by previous trauma that has never been healed. A person is perfectly fine and then they start having feelings/symptoms out of nowhere. Those feeling's of anxiety are repressed trauma and the body's way of screaming at the person to go heal them. So it could be said that being "anxious" is also a form of PTSD. As for genetics, there is a massive misunderstanding in the world about how genes work. The famed Dr Bruce Lipton discovered over 20 years ago that there are only 3 genes that if you are born with one of those three, you will definitely have that disease/illness/condition. Other than those 3 genes, all the others just mean that you have a "predisposition" for something, it does not mean that if you have that gene you are "predetermined" to have the illness, disease or condition. For the gene to activate, it requires an environmental trigger to turn the gene on. In the case of the bouncing leg, that means both you and your grandfather cope with your unhealed emotional trauma the same way. The "gene" to bounce your leg was passed down but it required trauma in both your lives for it to be activated. It also means that had your grandfather healed his trauma, he would have reshaped the gene and therefore, the family trait of avoiding healing trauma would not have been passed down. This is not meant to blame your grandfather, he was just doing what he was taught. For centuries we have all been taught to avoid healing our trauma and that is why the world is stuck in so much pain, disease and unhappiness. In addition, there is so much false information about how all of this works. It makes me sad that you have never been taught correctly how genes work or what anxiety is because the information you have allows you to stay stuck in pain. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. If we were to change this pattern and provide people with accurate information, it is my personal belief that the world and our lives would be a much happier, healthier and better place.

@@kennyweiss thank you for replying, what you said it makes alot of sense, im quite scared to go to therapy because there is too much to unravel in my past and it is embarrassing to me some things in my past

That’s trauma. It is such a powerless feeling and experience I wouldn’t wish it on anyone

Unhealed traumas are locked in the subconscious, yes, and as a result, the average person is mostly unaware of why they feel what they feel, what triggers them, and what lessons they can learn from the reflection of themselves in their reality, including circumstances, people, places, and many forms of communication by spirit through symbology and numbers.

This is also why hypersensitives, including myself, are easily overwhelmed every where we go. We are simply hyper aware of what is being shown to us on a deeper level, what emotions we experience from it, and a sense of hopelessness of being unable to fix it (which is bad, because anything can happen and I believe this is the new wave of humans who are truly meant to save the planet due to their environmental intuition, aka we are quite literally the compasses that point to what needs to be fixed within our society and the planet as a whole). Sorry if that is overwhelming or sounds ridiculous to anyone, but I'm pretty sure this is the truth.

I can appreciate your assumption. None of us would like to admit that we experience trauma. Our society gives that a black letter as though you’re somehow defective. It’s just not true, all of us have been traumatized in childhood. Every parent is perfectly imperfect, every parent makes mistakes and those mistakes leave wounds inside of us. That doesn’t make the child or the parent bad or defective it makes them both human. It’s part of the human experience. The problem comes when we deny the truth and try to come up with a different rationality so we don’t have to admit that to ourselves. I will try to say this as lovingly as I can. That’s what you’re trying to do. The scientific fact is that our brain gets stuck on overdrive because of an emotional event. That’s what causes the bouncing leg or biting fingernails… That’s also what causes the brain fog that you bring up. That’s dissociation and a detachment from the world because of the trauma. It’s a defense response so they don’t have to process the emotion. That’s why their leg is bouncing. Even though they’re trying to avoid the previous pain their body won’t allow them. It’s an alarm system telling the person. Hey, I know you would like this to be anything but emotional trauma, but I’m here to remind you that you were hurt and you need to take the time to heal your heart. Until we as a society start accepting truth about the pain we all experience, and stop coming up with rationalities because we fear the truth makes us bad or weak, all of us will continue to suffer in poor health and poor relationships. That’s my whole platform. I’m an advocate for truth and I’m here to help people admit to the truth. Because without truth there is no healing

Yes all of those are trauma responses

Also, maybe I'm just sensitive, but it seems like fidgeting is a defensive mechanism to distract me if we are having a serious conversation. Could that be true?

@@connielacey4881 I don’t want to say defendively because I don’t know him but we all use many defense mechanisms to avoid intimacy and connection. Sometimes we are aware of them and other times we are not? It depends on many factors

I would guess it’s because of your father? Usually pain and difficulties on the right side have something to do with the male influences in your life. When you clean up those emotional injuries your right side will improve

@@kennyweiss you are dead bang on - I guess I just don’t know how to finish processing it all.

@@anitavirginillo if you’re looking to learn how to do that I have a whole online master class part form that walks you through that healing journey. Why don’t you get started with the free class first thegreatnessu.com/p/your-journey-to-emotional-mastery

@@kennyweiss thank you so much. I’m just about to take a trip - I’ll be gone for 2 weeks but I’d like to tackle this upon my return. I have dealt with this for at least two decades and you are the first person who actually has some insight. No massage therapist, physiotherapist etc. has ever been able figure it out. I thought it was father/male related based on research I’ve done on body pain. I’m interested to see how your course can help me navigate through all that. I wish you were here in person so we could chat, but this is the next best thing. Thank you for all you do Kenny.

@@anitavirginillo Enjoy your trip. I also have a private group which is only $59 a month to answer your questions and guide you through the process

ADHD is also a trauma response. It’s basically the over activation of the fear response and that’s why they can’t focus and concentrate. It’s usually caused by a lack of quality attachment and attunement with the child’s parents in the early years of development.

Yes and both anxiety and depression are caused by emotionally trauma that has not been addressed or healed.

Yes, thank you 👏👌

ADHD is a trauma response

Many people respond with laughter to their emotional pain. It is a defense mechanism

Over 80% of people think they never experienced trauma in their childhood, yet all of us have. It is very common to have the false belief that our parents were perfect or just fine and did nothing that affected us. They are human so that belief is just not logical or possible. In addition, people only equate trauma with severe abuse but if a person's parents were divorced, that creates a severe abandonment and many other wounds. Another simple example of trauma is If a person has any secret from their parents or things they don't want their parents to know about them. Do you see what that means? If my parents ever found this out about me, they would reject me. Imagine how frightening that is? I inherently know that if I shared who I really was with my parents they would disapprove. That is SEVERE trauma The two people I should feel the safest with and the most accepted by I can never be safe with. As for anxiety, are you aware that what causes anxiety is previous unhealed trauma? We store all emotional trauma physically in our body so when a person feels anxious or has an anxiety attack it is the body's attempt to scream at us that we need to uncover and heal the source of the pain. The answer is to become educated on what trauma is? When we do that we discover our childhoods were filled with it. I have done several videos on how to heal from the past and in those videos you will learn a simple process that will unlock the door you have around your trauma. I also have free downloads on my website to guide you through the process. When I was in your place I made a choice to go become an expert and gain the knowledge, skills and tools to conquer all of this.If that is something you want I would suggest starting with my playlists on trauma and codependence and also subscribing to my website where I provide tons of free downloads and resources to help people. www.thegreatnessuniversity.com/

Then it sounds like you have created a trigger mechanism that allows you to try and release fear and anxiety that hasn't been processed. Most likely you aren't aware of those feelings consciously but once you start the bouncing your brain and body see it as an opportunity to try and let you know that you need some help to let all of that go.

@@kennyweiss thanks for the info♥️

Welcome!

But I’m always on edge ngl dunno what from yet. Tried thinking about it but can’t pin anything down but just everything lol

Nope, it is a part of the brain that has been stuck open from experiencing trauma as a child

Yes, it is the unhealed trauma from your past that causes that. Your body is basically stuck in a state of fear and anxiety. You don't really feel it anymore because it has been stuck in that place so long it "feels" normal. If you chose to do the work to heal the pain, the bouncing would go away. ;-) If you are looking to do that just let me know, I have a whole program to help people get their life back.

I hope it was a help to you?

We all have trauma you can’t get through life without emotional trauma. Parents are human and perfectly imperfect they make hundreds of mistakes thousands of mistakes not because they’re bad parents but because they’re human. Sadly our culture minimizes and suppresses all of the trauma and think unless it’s something catastrophic nothing happened. Apparent being late for a game, a mother saying don’t bug me right now I’m cooking dinner… All of those things are traumatic. If there was a divorce of somebody had an addiction, health issues… The slightest imperfection leaves injuries and wounds emotional dysregulation and the proof of it is a body that shakes.

That is very common. Most people are completely unaware of how much trauma they have been through but a simple question proves it. DO you have any secrets from your parents? Everyone does. What that means is, if your parents found out who you truly were as a person, you feel they would not approve or they might get mad/reject you. That is UNBELIEVABLE trauma. So much so that you can't even feel it or recognize it. Also, if you have struggles in relationships or financially, those are more indications of unhealed trauma and the older a person gets, the worse all of those will get until they face the trauma. Just another clarification, "stress' is actually fear. that is the clinical definition of stress. The bouncing of the leg is a sign of tremendous fear and so much that you can't feel it.

If you ever decide you want to heal all of that, I can help you in many ways.

Well if it’s ADHD, that’s a fear response. That’s a child who suffered “attention deficit.“ There was a lack of what is called attunement in childhood. Which means the parents were not consistently emotionally available and so the child experienced a lack of proper emotional attention. So just like the video points out, that part of the brain gets stuck on and the bouncing leg is just an attempt to release that unhealed fear from childhood

Meditation is a wonderful practice and can help us lower the anxious feelings. What would help the most is working with a professional to help you uncover and heal the underlying fear and pain that is causing the stress/fear. Being in a constant state of stress/fear always affects our brain and our ability to focus. I can’t really answer as to its affect on your brain or your studies because I don’t know you or have enough for information on you to evaluate that.

Rachel I’m so sad to hear that you’re struggling. What you’re experiencing is your fear system is overloaded and so one of the ways your body is trying to help you unload that fear is by bouncing your leg. You can think of it this way. You know how the thermostat in your house adjust the temperature? Well your internal thermostat is set really high right now and so you need to do some of the exercises to lower the thermostat and get it unstuck. I would suggest you go to my fear playlist and start watching those videos on how to do conquer fear and anxiety. There are exercises I will help you learn how to do breath work and many other things to help you lower your fear response. that usually creates dramatic improvement right away and that feeling of hopelessness will start to release. If the desperate feelings continue then I suggest you get to a hospital and get immediate help.

@@idontseenobodybutyou7052 you’re very welcome 😁

Unfortunately, people have a very distorted view of what trauma is. This only happens as a result of trauma. My suggestion would be to watch some of the videos on my childhood trauma playlist so you get educated on how trauma works, and how easily it happens. Once you have more education, you will recognize very quickly where it started, and what trauma created it

Yes and if you research RLS it starts in childhood and is an attempt to soothe intolerable feelings which were the result of less than nurturing parenting or even abusive parenting or some sort of emotional disturbance in childhood. RLS will cease once those underlying traumatic feelings are addressed and overcome. The avoidance of dealing with the root cause, (pain in childhood) will allow it to persist.

@@kennyweiss thank you so much

@@nial9350 Of course. Happy to help

What you are describing is an attempt to create a cognitive workaround. In other words, using thought/will to stop it. That is what most people try and it won't work because as you try to will yourself to stop with your thoughts, it will trigger new negative feelings. Most likely feelings of anger, shame or inadequacy because you can't "will" yourself to stop. What causes a bouncing leg is unhealed traumatic painful feelings from the past that have never been dealt with, they have been suppressed. Trying to think or will it to stop is just another attempt to suppress the emotion but it is also adding new painful emotions on top of the old ones. The answer is to stop trying to suppress your pain and start facing your pain. The way to do that is to become an expert in healing the pain from the past. You can do that by watching my videos, reading my book, taking my courses....or finding another expert to teach you how.

well i sleep alone and it helps me sleep, maybe she doesn't do it on purpose

Same when I shake my leg I feel comfortable and fall asleep quickly
