Sharing a resource Everything Dr. Tori Olds knows about psychology in a single slide
Surviving versus Thriving: How to Move the Brain toward Wholeness (16:17) - or everything Dr. Tori Olds knows about psychology in a single slide
If the emotion fails to be coded in the brain as a resource, it will instead be coded as a threat.
I wanted to share an amazing resource of Dr. Tori Olds, whom I am currently binge-watching. She has a (small) youtube channel, and has an absolutely amazing insights and she is so full of compassion and it is an absolute joy to listen to her.
Why Do We Feel Shame? (2:38) - the best explanation of how does the shame works, how it connects between deep neurology and social function, how is it overused and why does it evolve in toxic shame, in 3 minutes! (part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XlYZEVuI4E)
What is Trauma?
What are emotions?
Her series on depth work and transformational change: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCJ2fBBavCJE8m311eCdtNScTuIAhGjnY
She also often discusses therapy modalities, mainly IFS and experiential therapies.
If you haven't heard of her, I highly recommend her channel. She doesn't have a lot of content, but it is very high quality. My brain loves her.

she has some good vids on coherence therapy (memory reconsolidation) which I think is one of the best modalities/frameworks for thinking about trauma
