We also discuss how PTSD is related to attention-deficient hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and vice versa.Dr. Carrión shares effective therapeutic interventions for PTSD, including cue-centered therapy (CCT) and how to create a custom “toolbox” to help you identify triggers and manage stress. We discuss an emerging curriculum that combines yoga and mindfulness to help people with PTSD improve their stress resilience, mood, and sleep.The episode will provide listeners of all ages with a clear understanding of PTSD and effective strategies to heal from it.Access the full show notes for this episode at hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanEight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/hubermanWaking Up: https://wakingup.com/hubermanFunction: https://functionhealth.com/hubermanTimestamps00:00:00 Dr. Victor Carrión00:01:56 Sponsors: Eight Sleep, BetterHelp & Waking Up00:06:19 Stress, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Avoidance00:11:41 Stressors, Perseverate; Children & PTSD00:16:13 Transgenerational Trauma00:19:20 Post-Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI); Children, Dissociation & Cortisol00:27:17 Cortisol & Brain, Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms00:31:48 Sponsor: AG100:33:19 PTSD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)00:40:17 PTSD & ADHD; Identifying Cues, Triggers & Interventions00:47:49 PTSI, Autonomic Nervous System Seesaw; Sleep00:53:11 PTSD, Brain Development & Kids; Cue-Centered Therapy01:02:37 Sponsor: Function01:04:25 Limbic Pathway, Inner Dialogue, Therapy Toolbox01:12:34 Agency & Control, Deliberate Cold Exposure, Narrative01:18:11 Custom Toolbox Development; Energy01:26:32 Tool: 4-Corner Square Response, Understanding Cues01:32:59 Tool: “Creating Space,” Feelings Thermometer, Analyzing 4-Corners01:38:47 Social Media, Boundaries01:46:07 School, Yoga & Mindfulness Curriculum01:55:31 Implementing School Mindfulness Programs, Sleep02:00:52 Barriers to School Programs02:06:08 Redefining Success, Identity02:10:33 Resilience & Adaptation; Organoids, Epigenetic Treatment Response02:21:42 Listening to Kids & Adults02:24:19 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterDisclaimer & Disclosures Learn more about your ad choices.
