How to Heal From Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) | Dr. Victor Carrión

I've learned through my psychosocial intervention, I've learned that this is a cue that triggers a response from me, triggers a response that was helpful at one time. And through classical conditioning, and we do teach classical conditioning to the kids, those responses then become present, become conditioned, right, when the cue is there, when the trigger is there.

So, yes, to answer your question, it is important to know the cues. Now, what happens? Are we going to know all the cues to everything, to all of our behaviors and this shift in mood that sometimes we have during the day and we don't know why, right? No, the answer is no, we're not going to know all the cues.

But the beauty of this is that if we can just learn about one or two or three cues, what our response is, there's more of a forgiveness to ourselves in that when we respond inappropriately, we can think, well, maybe I was exposed to a cue, right? Because I've learned all of this about cues and classical conditioning. Maybe that's what's happening here.

Yes. No, and I like the visualization of your seesaw and the example of the hinge because it reminds me of that cognitive flexibility, right? It's not there. It's kind of stuck. It's kind of tight, too tight. And in some individuals... they just experience the dissociation. They're like stuck on the bottom, right? Sitting on the bottom of the seesaw.

Whereas for the other individuals, they're hyper aroused all the time and then you have everything in between. But no, that's a very good representation of it.

And I think people have their own experiences with sleep, right? We've all felt that cold that's coming. And if we really sleep those eight hours, we may be able to fight it because we've strengthened our immune system. If we don't, we will get sick.

So in pediatric psychiatry, we have three different populations. We have the preschoolers, we have the school age, and we have the teenagers. Okay. And they are all very different. They all have responses and defenses that are very different. The projects that I'm describing happen mostly with the school-age children.
