00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,120
Hey Nevena
2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,400
Hi.
3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,800
Nice to meet you.
4
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,360
Nice to meet you too.
5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,680
When I went to see the psychiatrist,
6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,600
I was so lightly diagnosed
7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,560
and given the antidepressants immediately,
8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,080
which is just to num what you feel.
9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,680
Just continue to suppress and continue burdening it,
10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,360
and to be fair, it has helped because I was numbed.
11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,760
The trauma hasn't left you.
12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,280
It's still in your body trapped.
13
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,880
So when I started medication
14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,760
and I was diagnosed, I was relieved obviously,
15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,320
to have my symptoms go away.
16
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:54,760
But I knew that I needed to do a lot of work on myself
and that it's not over.
17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,880
So that's when I found you, and I Googled
18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,880
and I breathed and I went into the cold,
19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,600
and I've been doing that every day, ever since.
20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,040
I wake up and the first thing I do
is I do two or three rounds of breathing
21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,480
and I go straight into the cold shower
22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,480
and I find cold anywhere in nature I can.
23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,880
I go into the ice
24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,200
and as a woman,
25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,080
as a traumatized child,
26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,920
to be able to choose pain,
27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,560
I'm in control,
I'm choosing to feel the pain.
28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,640
I can be with it, I can sit with it,
29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,560
I can feel my body again,
30
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,000
and I'm in charge of my body.
31
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,720
No medication can give you that.
32
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,160
And it's free and it's simple and you are alone,
you don't need anybody to
33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,640
guide you, tell you how to do it.
34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:56,400
The biggest thing that trauma takes away from you
is the ability to feel the the beauty of life.
35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,800
And you feel threat in everything
36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:06,360
And also you learn to disassociate from your body
because that's a defense mechanism,
37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:13,000
and so what the cold did for me
is it made me feel my body again.
38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,760
And I found the thing
that healed me, which was the cold.
39
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Yeah, so no medication,
40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,280
no therapy did ever offer that.
41
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,520
Wow, thatโs great.
42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,160
It doesn't matter
where your trauma comes from,
43
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,920
you are able to get back into control.
44
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,480
I think that what
is also a really big issue, is that
45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,760
if you've been for example, sexually molested as a child
46
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,760
and a child doesn't
know what's happening to him/her
47
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,360
and obviously you disassociate, you block it out
48
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,480
and then that kind of memory is stored in your body,
49
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,280
The body remembers, but the brain doesn't,
50
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,960
and then if you come out
to a psychiatrist or a psychologist,
51
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:10,760
and say: โโI'm having these issues, I'm overwhelmed with emotions, I have anger issues, I'm self-harming,โโ
52
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,480
โโI don't know what's going on.โโ
53
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,040
And then you say, what happened to you as a child,
but you can't remember,
54
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:24,200
and all they say is: โโWell, you've got depression and you've got anxiety disorder, and you don't need to remember.โโ
55
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:30,280
โโThat's it, so here's some antidepressants
and you can just continue your life.โโ
56
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,160
So obviously, if you don't know that there's any other solutions,
57
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,000
this is your life saviour so you hold on to that.
58
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,440
and if a doctorโs told you that,
then that must be it.
59
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,520
But then, you suppress the symptoms,
you numb the symptoms with the medications.
60
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:54,240
The cold makes you survive.
It makes you to just be there in the moment.
61
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,240
Anything else is shut down.
62
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:06,160
The cold creates new connections in your brain, new patterns,
and I think if you've dealt with the trauma,
63
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:13,200
you've got such strict patterns of behaviors and ways
you look at the things and ways you deal with things,
64
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,160
because that was the way you survived.
65
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:24,320
But the cold teaches you new connections, new ways to deal with that, new ways to look at the pain, to look at your own suffering.
66
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,200
I don't know, I think I couldn't live now without
67
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,800
those two, so simple.
68
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,440
And you can do it everywhere.
Anywhere you go in the world, it's there.
69
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,720
Yes.
70
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:45,080
What you say is of great importance,
because in the end, trauma is trauma.
71
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,240
Whoever is looking at this,
72
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,120
this is a life experience, a real experience.
73
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,840
And I love Nevena for coming forward and talking about it
74
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:02,680
because there should be no taboo
on something that is inside that needs to be released
75
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,800
besides the fact that you experience trauma...
You cannot even talk about it!
76
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,080
It's like you did something wrong.
77
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,080
You didn't do anything wrong.
78
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,520
The taboo makes you shut up and not being able to work it out.
79
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,960
Come on, guys, it's over.
80
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:29,000
It's done, breathe and go into the cold and be your lovable self,
become sensitive again
81
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,280
instead of disassociated from your feelings.
82
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:34,560
Become happy, strong and healthy,
83
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,040
and with a beautiful mind, as you have as you are.
84
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,840
Bye Nevena!
85
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,360
Bye, thank you.
