Trying to help a neighbor
Hello, I’d like to know what kind of treatment is available for an 11 year old child who was molested by his father and step mother, who was then homeless with his mother and sold for sex trafficking, then molested again. He’s been named the monster child at his orphanage because he would follow other kids to the bathroom and try to touch their genitals. He was adopted by my neighbors 3 years ago and his mother explained how she is scared of him ever since he said he was going to kill her at night and explained to her exactly how he would do it. He’s been paralyzed by drugs they prescribed him, he’s had a stroke, he bit his teacher and made her bleed, he’s being isolated at school and is not allowed to be around other children. He has created different voices as well ( possibly a personality disorder ). My question here is, how can we help a child who has gone through so much trauma already? He hasn’t reached puberty yet, so I’d assume that once he does his symptoms get worse ? I’m concerned for this family. The mother doesn’t sleep because she’s scared he’s going to kill someone at night.
How to handle extra stress/adrenaline
I'm a professional poker player. I often find I am forced to go days or even weeks where my body is extra jacked up on adrenaline and the stresses of competing for very high stakes. I'm afraid about the effects of this on my long term health. What changes would you recommend I make to my life to account for this stress? Thanks!
Can I brainwash myself with self confidence?
do you think there is a way to brainwash yourself enough that you heal this past traumas and deep beliefs that keep holding you back and preventing you from becoming the version of yourself you really want to be ? The episode on mindset was very insightful on this. Is there a way these protocols can tackle deep rooted self beliefs formed in infancy?
Huberman Lab: Dr. Eddie Chang: The Science of Learning & Speaking Languages
1) In the interview with Dr. Chang, he indicated that “white noise”(keeping the brain’s window of plasticity open) in infants has the potential for being a negative—what is the effect of “white noise” (or other structured sounds) in adults and/or seniors in terms of keeping (or re-opening) their brain’s plasticity relative to cognitive function? And/or effect on sleep patterns? 2) As a geezer (79 years old) with moderate essentially tremor (diagnosed by my neurologist) what is the efficacy of MR guided focused ultrasound targeting appropriate parts of the brain vs a pharmacology approach which I resist?
