Book Review - Babette Rothschild Revolutionizing Trauma Treatment
In this 24 min BookReview I talk about ''Revolutionizing Trauma Treatment' by Babette Rothschild (2021).
Trauma treatment is now possible and it is much simpler and less painful than you might imagine. Babette was one of the first people to really understand that it is stored in the body not just the mind and that treatment therefore has to use the body to interact with and resolve the past experience.
This book taught me several important ideas that I was already using but it formalised them a little for me:
1/ the importance of knowing where on the autonomic arousal spectrum (ie. your nervous system balance) your client is by noticing certain signs and symptoms of each state.
2/avoiding going too fast into the past and keeping the client stabilised in the here an now with 'exteroception' - noticing things in the external environment
3/building resources of the client i.e. things that work or feel good to help the client stay calm
4/planning treatment like a recipe - what do we want to 'make' today
5/pacing appropriately by taking clients in and out of unsafety gently (pendulation)
6/ keeping the language accurate - ie, not going back into the past as if it's still happening (although of course that's how it feels with trauma) but reminding the client they are remembering the past and it's over.
7/adapting tools like yoga and mindfulness so they don't trigger the client

During this pandemic of fear and anxiety we need more than ever to release fear and react as a community. in this video I demonstrate a technique called havening to release fear and explain why it's really important.
So much of our immunity is highjacked by fear so releasing the trauma of what's going on and rebalancing our nervous system which is oriented to threat right now is majorly important.

BOOK
book-review-the-genie-in-your-genes-by
In this first part of my Book Review I look at 'The Genie in your Genes' by Dawson Church, PhD. I look at how ground-breaking this book was (2007, rev 2009) and how it was so far ahead of its time in teaching us about how your environment (the thoughts you think, the emotions you feel - or don't allow yourself to feel) all get buried in your body changing your DNA expression and therefore your health.
Buried painful feelings promote cell breakdown whereas positive beliefs and feelings promote cell repair and therefore wellness.

Founder of Blended Therapy, hypnotherapist and yoga teacher Helen Davis and I discuss recovery from CFS/ME: the precursors and warning signs (career choice, sensitivity, imposter syndrome, migraines, etc) and how it has led us both to the careers we now have - but only by 'making space' as Helen says (or having a breakdown to breakthrough as I claim!). Each of us in our own ways have to discover who we really are instead of who we were trained to be. Symptoms are just the way the mindbody communicates and we are wise to listen and make changes to address those beliefs and blocks that lie in the way of recovery. I explain the holistic model of recovery as promoted in The Chrysalis Effect Online Recovery Programme.

Find Helen on helen@blendedtherapy.co.ukVisit My Website alchemytherapies.co.uk for details of the therapy that I offer for trauma and the symptoms of trauma (anxiety, chronic pain or fatigue, relational difficulties, etc).
Even if you don't think you have had trauma as such you will have traumatic imprints or unresolved/processed emotions around birth, childhood illness, separation anxiety, poor attachment to parents, bullying, accidents or operations. They may not be consciously remembered but the body stores them as imprints autonomically (via the autonomic nervous system). I look forward to hearing from you. Please leave a comment below.

In this video I talk about the mental health consequences of lockdown and how we can ameliorate with connection and sharing stories of good news.
I cover the crisis in care homes and how for those caring for them seeing so many people die and believing you may have unwittingly infected them is a form of vicarious trauma.
I look at the latest figures show us that a larger number of people have been exposed in the UK (and probably throughout the world) and therefore herd immunity may be closer than we think. the death rate is probably closer to 0.37%* rather than the 3.7 we were told at the beginning as numbers of infected people were underestimated by a factor of 10 at least! T
Finally I deal with the nature of democracy** and finding a voice. Find connection with others as an antidote to trauma.
*in fact later data makes it even lower
**sadly I am sad to see that democracy is being systematically dismantled now by well-meaning politicians trying to police the desperate and ill-informed responses to a pandemic they don't understand fed by misinformation on the nature of viruses and their function.

THE D
the-dementia-diaries-interview-with
In this interview with Professional Intuitive Jessica Woods, she asks me about the writing of my latest book, The Dementia Diaries and the experience of caring for my recently departed mother who succumbed to dementia over the last 6 years of her life. Learn what inspired it and why Jessica was such an instrumental part of the writing - even though she didn't know til it was published!!
I talk about what creates dementia and how we dealt with it.
Learn what not to do as well as the things you can change.
The lessons I learnt were profound - which is why I subtitled the book: lessons in letting go gracefully.

IDENT
identity-crisis-finding-belonging
How do you identify? What's in a label anyhow? in this 20 minute video I talk about the nature of identity and how it is constructed. Many of us face an identity crisis at some point in our lives and finding belonging can be difficult. Throughout this video we discuss the idea that identity is fluid and may change over time but we may hold onto it long after its value is gone.
Please 'LIKE' this video if you enjoyed it. It helps me spread the word.

How stress impacts the mind and body in particular with chronic fatigue syndrome. The importance of neuroplasticity and the new science of epigenetics in a new vision of Trauma Healing. In this video we are talking about what trauma is and and how it impacts your brain and body via the stress response
With Jane Lumley, part of my ongoing Healing Trauma conversations series with practitioners.
Visit My Website: patriciaworby.com for information about me and alchemytherapies.co.uk for details of the therapy that I offer for trauma and the symptoms of trauma (anxiety, chronic pain or fatigue, relational difficulties, etc).
Even if you don't think you have had trauma as such you will have traumatic imprints or unresolved/processed emotions around birth, childhood illness, separation anxiety, poor attachment to parents, bullying, accidents or operations. They may not be consciously remembered but the body stores them as imprints autonomically (the autonomic nervous system). This is not in conscious control so it can produce unexpected symptoms.

In this 16 min video I talk about how reading this book changed my understanding of our physiology and neural regulation - in other words how we feel about ourselves and the world is intimately linked to our nervous system's ability to feel safe. This so called 'neuroception' results from feedback from our internal organs (specifically our gut and heart) to our brain and is developed from our early experience as babies and young children. If we perceived safety from being cuddled and our needs reliably met, we were able to develop our top level autonomic Social Engagement System - we feel connected and able to take part in feeding (suckling), intimacy (cuddling) and then this develops to regulate our heart rate to be slow (bradycardia) and our emotional states to be safe and secure.
If that system is disrupted from developing properly (this can happen for many reasons: birth trauma, post-natal depression of the mother, or marital discord, bereavement, etc), then we may learn that safety is not something we can reliably feel and we are left with the two lower systems of
- sympathetic fight and flight (mobilisation and anxiety) or the
- parasympathetic freeze state (immobilisation) of low energy and depression common in chronic fatigue states.
This book is ground-breaking but particularly impenetrable to read as it is full of scientific detail and the writing style is that of a collection of research papers. Perhaps that's why Stephen published the Pocket Guide to Polyvagal theory https://amzn.to/3rin9OE which I would recommend and Deb Dana also summarised it more neatly in her Polyvagal Theory in Therapy book https://amzn.to/3lIYPVg
