hi everyone I'm Kell ooro and this is
0:09
adaptable Behavior explained and so I'm
0:12
now not met with compassion I'm now not
0:15
met with Grace I'm not met with patience
0:17
and so I feel now betrayed I feel like
0:20
I'm a burden I feel like I did something
0:22
wrong and so that memory might be
0:24
encoded differently thus creating a
0:26
traumatically informed response as I
0:29
grow up so we've got two kinds of memory
0:31
we've got explicit and implicit memory
0:33
and these are important things to
0:35
consider when we are talking about our
0:37
stories and when we're thinking about
0:39
how our experiences affected the way we
0:42
show up today next we're going to talk
0:44
about how those Chief complaints or
0:47
those symptoms end up turning into
0:49
problems and how the histories of our
0:52
epigenetics and the originating events
0:55
are so incredibly important to
0:57
understand and in the way that we do
0:59
therapy here at infinite healing and
1:00
wellness and the way we believe is
1:03
helpful is from a bottomup perspective
1:06
so we want to talk about therapy from a
1:08
bottom-up perspective and that is that
1:10
we're not just going to talk about what
1:11
happened to us because that very much
1:14
dismisses or minimizes how our emotions
1:17
and how our lived experience are
1:18
thwarted in time and how they can get
1:20
encoded maladaptively and how we can't
1:23
just talk about something and feel
1:24
validated and feel heard and understood
1:27
because it won't change the way that we
1:28
react when Pres presented with different
1:30
stimulus or rather the same s stimulus
1:33
in the future that reminds us because it
1:37
looks tastes smells feels something like
1:39
something in the past so let's say I
1:42
have an accident in the future and it's
1:44
a car accident and I've crashed my mom's
1:47
car and I go to tell her and what got
1:50
encoded because of the way she showed up
1:52
for me when I was young was that I was a
1:54
burden it was inconvenient she was you
1:57
know disappointed and she was blaming
1:59
when I came to her with the cactus
2:01
memory and now I show up after I've
2:03
gotten an offender Bender in her car and
2:05
my body shows up in this way of being
2:08
afraid to go tell her this thing
2:10
happened and maybe I have a lot of
2:12
experiences where she was kind and
2:14
compassionate to me and that one was
2:15
just one of those where she wasn't and
2:18
so that one got a little bit lodged In
2:20
My Memory it's encoded maladaptively and
2:22
so when I go in the house to tell my mom
2:24
about this fender bender I'm waiting I'm
2:26
waiting for her to be disappointed I'm
2:28
waiting for her to blame me I'm waiting
2:30
her for her to not care about the injury
2:32
that happened with me and so I'm
2:34
tentative I don't feel like I'm going to
2:36
be met with open arms and that is
2:38
important to understand that the roots
2:40
of the way I'm showing up is because of
2:43
a a memory that happened before now I
2:45
walk in the door I tell her that I
2:47
gotten this fender bender and she goes
2:48
oh my gosh that's so scary everybody's
2:51
been in a fender bender and so she meets
2:53
me differently than my three-year-old
2:56
self who was in the the accident with
2:58
the cactus and I'm kind of surprised by
3:00
it because I was expecting and waiting
3:02
for the other shoe to drop because of my
3:04
memory before and so I'm lucky that she
3:07
shows up for me in this compassionate
3:08
loving way this time but I wasn't
3:10
expecting it because it was so similar
3:13
to the experience of when I was three so
3:15
when people come to us with their
3:17
presenting issues I want to be able to
3:19
say let's look at what happened to us
3:22
not just what's happening to us now but
3:24
what happened to us before and so we
3:27
have our symptoms are presenting issues
3:29
that Chief complaint maybe I'm jumpy
3:31
when I'm going to go tell somebody that
3:33
I did something wrong I'm anxious or I'm
3:35
nervous when something bad happens
3:37
because I'm expecting someone not to be
3:39
kind to me and so I'm tentative and I'm
3:42
a perfectionist and I never want to make
3:43
a mistake and I am leery when I do and
3:47
it's partly because of things that
3:49
happened when I was young so we have
3:51
these Chief complaints we have the
3:53
epigenetic component that I talked about
3:56
am I from a story or a family system
3:58
where everybody was over welmed in my
4:00
parents' lives and and even more so
4:03
people were overwhelmed in their in in
4:04
their parents lives my grandparents
4:06
lives and therefore there's a whole line
4:09
of us that are sort of nervous anxious
4:11
waiting for the other shoe to drop so we
4:14
want to understand the epigenetics and
4:16
in this picture that you're looking at
4:18
this is this is the W the metaphor of
4:20
the weed what I like to make sure I
4:22
share is this picture is is helpful to
4:24
illustrate we're not just dealing with
4:26
what happened right now or how you show
4:28
up or act right now we're dealing with
4:30
the the which would we would call the
4:32
symptoms or the top of the weed but
4:33
we're also dealing with the roots the
4:36
originating events where the negative
4:38
beliefs about ourselves I'm not safe I
4:40
can't trust I'm I'm powerless um you
4:45
know it was my fault these are the
4:46
beliefs that people come in and they
4:48
talk about those are deeply rooted with
4:50
the maladaptively encoded memories that
4:52
are stored with the emotions that
4:54
happened the first time the thwarted
4:57
Sensations in our bodies that happened
4:59
the first time and then of course the
5:01
negative beliefs that we that we make up
5:04
about ourselves as a result of what
5:05
happened to us in the past and then we
5:08
have to consider our epigenetics or the
5:10
seeds that were planted and then the bad
5:13
news is there's also seeds that are
5:15
planted in our own offspring so we can
5:19
we can um inadvertently pass along our
5:23
epigenetic Tendencies and how we show up
5:25
in the world uh into our Offspring uh
5:28
the good news is is EMDR therapy which
5:31
is the kind of therapy that I'm going to
5:32
talk about a lot in our podcast is it
5:36
changes the way our brain fires and
5:38
wires data and it changes the way
5:41
information is encoded and it can change
5:44
the way our methyl groups and our RNA
5:46
are organized and it can change the way
5:49
our DNA shows up in our Offspring so if
5:52
you're if you're inclined to do the work
5:54
about yourself prior to um having
5:57
children there's an there's an
5:59
opportunity for you to change the way
6:01
you will pass along DNA and information
6:04
onto your onto your Offspring and I'm
6:06
not going to dig in too much to that
6:08
into that topic because we could go on
6:11
for weeks and weeks about DNA and RNA
6:13
and I am certainly not the expert in
