Erasing Fears Traumas Based on the Modern Neuroscience of Fear

In this episode I discuss fear and trauma including the neural circuits involved in the threat reflex and how specific experiences and memories come to activate that system I also discuss how our body is involved in trauma and fear First I describe the logic of fear mechanisms and how top-down processing-- meaning connections from the parts of the brain that assign meaning to our feelings are involved in fear and erasing fears and traumas Then I discuss what successful fear and trauma treatment must include and consider various treatments for whether they meet that standard such as EMDR Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Ketamine and other drug-assisted therapies and more I also review new data on how 5 minutes per day of deliberate self-imposed stress can erase fear and depression And I review the role that social connection plays in erasing or maintaining fears by activating specific molecular pathways in the brain and body Finally I review supplementation with over-the-counter compounds for their effects on anxiety and fear and when to take them if at all fear trauma stress Thank you to our sponsors Athletic Greens - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww athleticgreens com 2Fhuberman a InsideTracker - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww insidetracker com 2Fhuberman a Helix Sleep - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww helixsleep com 2Fhuberman a Our Patreon page a https 3A 2F 2Fwww patreon com 2Fandrewhuberman a Supplements from Thorne a https 3A 2F 2Fwww thorne com 2Fu 2Fhuberman a Social Instagram - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww instagram com 2Fhubermanlab a Twitter - a https 3A 2F 2Ftwitter com 2Fhubermanlab a Facebook - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww facebook com 2Fhubermanlab a Website - a https 3A 2F 2Fhubermanlab com a Newsletter - a https 3A 2F 2Fhubermanlab com a neural-network Timestamps 00 00 00 Introducing Fear Trauma Trauma 00 02 15 Athletic Greens InsideTracker Helix Sleep 00 06 49 What is Fear 00 11 45 Autonomic Arousal Alertness vs Calmness 00 13 44 Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis HPA axis 00 17 36 The Threat Reflex Neural Circuits for Fear 00 28 24 Controlling Fear Top-Down Processing 00 32 27 Narratives Protective or Dangerous 00 35 58 Attaching Fear to Events Classical Conditioning Memory 00 41 45 How Fear Learning Occurs Long Term Potentiation NMDA 00 46 10 Extinguishing Reducing Fears 00 50 25 Cognitive Narrative Therapies for Fear 00 57 56 Repetition of Narrative Overwriting Bad Experiences with Good 01 05 28 EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing 01 14 00 Social Connection Isolation Are Chemically Powerful 01 18 23 Trans-Generational Trauma 01 25 00 PTSD Treatments Ketamine MDMA oxytocin 01 39 25 How Do You Know If You Are Traumatized 01 46 16 Deliberate Brief Stress Can Erase Fears Trauma 01 49 50 Erasing Fears Traumas In 5 Minutes Per Day 01 59 42 Nutrition Sleep Other General Support Erasing Fear Trauma 02 02 30 Supplements for Anxiety Fear Saffron Inositol Kava 02 10 00 Synthesis 02 11 46 Zero-Cost Support Sponsors Patreon Supplements Instagram Twitter Please note that The Huberman Lab Podcast is distinct from Dr Huberman's teaching and research roles at Stanford University School of Medicine The information provided in this show is not medical advice nor should it be taken or applied as a replacement for medical advice The Huberman Lab Podcast its employees guests and affiliates assume no liability for the application of the information discussed Title Card Photo Credit Mike Blabac - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww blabacphoto com a
