How Trauma Changes Us: From Creators to Victims - Interview with Lynn Himmelman, NDT Master Trainer

New Decision Therapy on understanding people with trauma and how their perception of reality can change them from victims to creators: Victim vs Creator Mindset

A NDT (New Decision Therapy) master teacher's view on trauma and the role of emotions in how we perceive our lives. Lynn Himmelman, NDT Master Trainer and NDT Level 2 trainer Dr. Artour Rakhimov expand on this topic. In spiritual and meditation perspectives, a human being can exist in states as either a victim or a creator.

That is someone that is not growing and living the best or highest version of themselves. Would it be correct to infer that if we have trauma that we view ourselves as a victim of our past circumstances? On the other hand, when we are creators, we are rather looking at our better future. Yes, trauma can make people see life through the eyes of their trauma. Even while we are struggling with that unfinished trauma we can dance back and forth between being the victims and being the creators of our reality. Being a person that has experienced trauma does not mean that your life is a complete mess and that you are not accomplishing anything.

Lynn shares her personal experience that she was accomplishing a lot in her life. On the inside, it was different as she was not able to fully embrace her own successes. There was something on the inside that still felt unfinished and very unhappy in spite of all the really fabulous things that she created in her life. She had created a career as an opera singer that was highly enjoyable on many levels. Yet, it was also highly anxiety provoking on other levels. This was due to the emotional challenges that she was still dealing with.

Negative Emotions/Behaviors as Effects of Trauma - Interview with Lynn Himmelman, NDT Master Trainer Dr Artour Rakhimov

Youtube URL: Trauma effects - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyS687_SPpc.

Effects of past emotional traumas are different in different recipients of past traumas and depend on many details and factors related to their lives and trauma itself. The common personal effects of past traumas are new emotional states that represent guilt, regret and anger. When traumas are more severe, many victims get an unconscious desire to die. All these emotions diminish personal life force.

As a result of trauma and becoming a victim many people demonstrate such self-defeating behaviors as:

- breaking promises made to yourself or inability to stick with your own intentions and plans

- being hard on yourself

- feeling worthless even though while having achievements in life

- feeling depressed, dispirited, hopeless, etc..

One of the effective solutions to these emotional problems and self-defeating behaviors is to use a body healing technique called the NDT (New Decision Therapy).

The New Decision Therapy can expand a traumatized person view of life, other people and situations that they were being previously emotionally triggered by. Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Lynn are NDT (New Decision Therapy) practitioners that go further into depth on this topic. Dr. Artour Rakhimov is also a breathing teacher and the owner of NormalBreathing.com. How can one test for trauma? The NDT has a technique that tests specific points on the body to reveal trauma. A related question is if there is a person that has no prior knowledge about the NDT, what how can they make do it yourself type of test? This would be for the person to know that they have some kind of trauma. Simply a person would know that their 'buttons are being pressed' or that they are being emotionally triggered easily.

Someone with trauma would be triggered on a regular basis because of a certain person. There is an idea that if that person would just change the way they are behaving and talking that would make their own life much easier. We do not have control over other people's behavior. To keep waiting, negotiating and trying to make another person change their way of behavior can be an endless story. The NDT puts you back in the driver's seat of your life. Even if that someone else does not change their behavior, you can still feel at ease. You can recover your peace of mind and have a broader perspective to understand from a place of compassion. That this other person is truly stuck and does not know how to change. It puts you in a self-empowered state and makes you stop putting your happiness in someone else's hands.

Later, we are going to discuss testing specific body points with the NDT on presence of guilt and regret (a weak CSX Body Alarm point) and anger (a weak Heart Body Alarm point). When the life force is undermined, the Thymus Alarm point (the upper point out of those three points) become weak.
