Thank you. It will take me a while to try and understand my own reactions which I think are to do with my own fear (getting things wrong and making things worse for such individuals) and guilt (not having the courage to try to help nor the imagination to know how).

Difficult work, sometimes harrowing but hopeful.

Sometimes when presenters read their talk without looking very often at their audience I feel myself shutting down but not this time. I not only felt engaged with Sian and the material, I found myself there (I’ve never thought go myself as agoraphobic, socially inept maybe, certainly anxious and ‘unnecessarily’ fearful) especially when she talked of her own lucky escape from an assault and the consequences of intergenerational trauma, both of which I can relate to. I couldn’t help noticing and empathising with her body language (crossed arms, hands protectively raised under her chin at the end) especially when talking about survivor guilt and the “…need to assert the freedom to be in the world on their own terms…” Thank you.

As a scientist I’m interested in the allostatic load and overload theory and will look it up.

I realise the reason for this is my own family experience which I’m continuing to work on in my retirement! In a much more general response based on my years of counselling mainly with young adults, I’ve been surprised on how little sibling relationships have featured in our training.

I felt that important points weren’t elaborated on enough and more time could have been spend on the clinical material? Maybe there is a reason for this I am unable to appreciate but the succinctness of the talk took something away from me. what was talked about however was interesting and prompted some thoughts in my mind. Thank you

Dr Panksepp is so engaging in his enthusiasm and in his ability to make what is a complex subject so accessible to us. It is heartening to hear him advocate for the importance of primary process emotions in the understanding and clinical application of client/patients’ presentation(s).
It is a shame that the fixed camera position couldn’t fully capture his delivery.

Wise, powerful and thought provoking. Really reminded me of how important balance is, with lovely insights into how to restore this in myself and my work.
Thank you sincerely Roz.

The being in tune with my own body during trauma work has really resonated and I found the way Morit described everything very clear.
