I was a psych major and can't believe we didn't have the concept of 'mental injury', just trauma and assault and abuse that lead to mental disease. The concept of injury implies a capacity to heal. Thank you for putting that out there.

I love this woman's courage. Going against medical industry is like going against oil industry. Impossible to win, but more fighters we get, more possible it becomes.

The best way to heal somebody's so called mental illness or disorder is to fix the environment not the person Usually absolute safety and rest do the job. I went through a major break down because doctors and superiors refused to give me a leave when I absolutely needed it, being exhausted after covid and just going out of trauma caused by an accident and two suicides in the family The problem in our society is the overvalidation of work and efficency - "you're injured? - fix yourself and go back to work" - if the healing takes you more than 2 weeks you're considered a parasite to society

Here’s a quote from John Briere, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus Psychiatry and the Behavioral Science, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California. “If we could somehow end child abuse and neglect, the eight hundred pages of the DSM…would be shrunk to a pamphlet in two generations.” Parenting education must be part of the solution. Not conventional parenting education, but an entirely new kind that reaches everyone, everywhere.

I am a licensed therapist. I worked at a state run psychiatric facility for 5 years. It was awful. Everyone I worked with who was a client wasn’t getting good quality treatment. When clients vocalized this, clients were made out to be too crazy to know what treatment should look like. My concerns about carr was evident in how I practiced psychotherapy and care management in a more sensitive, kind, way. They tried to get me in trouble - expelled entirely - because of this. They made evidence where there wasn’t any. They contacted my licensing board and that terrified me how far they went to get me out of there. It payed well, but I will never go back. Clients were very much not treated well and it was normalized. Clients were terrified they would never get discharged and I understand why. I pray that place closes. I believe Allah will exact justice. Those that were mistreated and had their minds cracked, I pray they feel better now or in the hereafter. ❤

She's right! There's a lot of misunderstanding surrounding mental health or even mental illness. I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, treatment resistant and so was recommended for a long-term care facility in my mid 20's. Yet I went on to recovery, and I mean cured, with no longer taking meds. What they don't teach you is how schizophrenia works, how your mind works and how schizophrenia uses the workings of the mind to entrench itself. You don't need psychedelics either, though they are better than the harsh chemical laden antipsychotics. But greater than psychedelics is understanding the mental plane. Understanding how to have your mind be your ally instead of working against itself. Psychedelics can make things easier, but there things you need to learn that doesn't come by walking the easier route. There are understandings that come from struggling and persevering. There's so much wisdom to be found in this way. But, it might not be everybody. Still, I definitely appreciate her message. Psychiatry had favored big pharma over truly helping patients with therapy that leads to understanding and a more meaningful and sustainable recovery. It's not just a brain thing either, there's also spiritual component to this, and only looking at the brain creates another blindspot to the other, greater parts of our being.

Thank you for bravely telling your story. I am a nurse and worked in the mental health field for many years in the past. It is just a revolving door. The system definitely needs an overhaul.

In the 1980s the Campaign against Psychiatric Oppression (CAPO) met for regular music and poetry meetings in the Troubadour Café, London, to express their response to how people had been treated. I find it absurd that instead of learning from people who are classified as mentally ill and thereby changing society to avoid making people ill, we continue to support a socio-economic system built on cooperative abuse and exploitation, resulting in the adverse consequences for millions of people.

I'm a young woman who's benefited from Falkora's research. I'm grateful to you for your work and the sterling insight into mental health that you do. Great talk.

I love that reframe! Mentally injured. I took SSRIs and it ruined my career and life. It’s taken years for me to rebuild. In September of this year I started an at home low dose ketamine treatment. The first thing I began to realize - I didn’t understand how deeply depressed I had been; it was as if an oppression was being lifted.

Absolutely fantastic presentation. Clinically credible and peer reviewed research based. Thankyou for this.

Thank you for your courage to speak out. You have put a voice on a very dark place of humanity that needs to come out. You have said we all might have got it wrong. We need a new language for it., new concepts. Perhaps with Covid it will finally be addressed and like you say given the time and respect it deserves. We need to face the fact this is a very human condition.

I healed myself microdosing for .30days at bed time. I can't even try to fall in to depression like I use to feel. I fell sad but not like it use to be... I'm on year 3 healed thanks to mushroo.s. thank you for bringing awareness to this 🙏

I've been watching Ted talks since they began and have enjoyed so many of them...but the message here is by far the best one I've heard. Everything about Khaliya's delivery of this message indicates the depth of her commitment to it, and I applaud the courage it took for her to do so. Everything about it is "SO TRUE". We MUST stop thinking of brain altering substances as "the fix" for mental "injury". Human beings deserve so much more....even when their suffering is inconvenient to society....and even though it takes real work and real pain and real time to recover....and even though pursuing "real" health does not directly serve our economy....and may even, in the short term, my be an economic burden. The state of our world will ultimately benefit exponentially if and when we correct this "wrong turn". I don't have any first-hand knowledge of the statistics and/or viability of psychedelic science so won't weigh in on that, other than to say..."If" these alternative treatments are shown to encourage neuroplasticity in a way that facilitates healing, these DO need to be seriously considered". It sounds like they may even be the thing that bridges the gap between what "real humans" need for "true" healing, and the existing economic challenges that have led us down this "wrong path" of medicating symptoms away at the expense of true health. THANK YOU KHALIYA!!!👏👏👏👏👏!!!

What an amazing women, I have a mental 'injury' on and off fir 30 years but slowly and surely I'm healing, videos like this help my healing Thank you very much🙏

Outstanding and brave TEDx and not a moment too soon. I hope this kind of work can continue!!!

I've heard amazing things about the use of psycidelics (idk how to spell it) and I really hope that becomes an option for me. I've lived with mental health issues for over half my life and it's killing me. The meds they put me on which have changed time and time again don't fix me. Therapy isn't fixing me. I wish this was a legal option to try. I hope it becomes an option one day for not just me, but everyone, because we are all dying from this

Thank you for having the courage to talk about concerns of those who use services. Shrinks & nurses do the best they can to put people back together after or during personally devastating circumstances.

This is wonderful and true. There are over 400 psychological methods but only one, CBT has been proved to be any better than talking to a good friend. Read Richard Bentall's book Madness Explained. God provides for all our needs.

Absolutely true! This is groundbreaking knowledge. And Khaliya is the perfect messenger to bring it to the world. And believe me, Mother Earth needs people like Khaliya to take care of her. The world has given us everything, we have to give the world our care and love back.Starting from here. Let us take that responsibility together to make the force of creation unstoppable. Tell me whatever to do to that can help. I am in. 🙏

Great talk ! i keep hearing more about psychedelics all the time , society is definitely waking up .. magic mushrooms have quite possibly saved my life & i will continue to use them 2 maybe 3 times a year !

She is right. People aren't healed in psychiatries, they are being executed. Sad but true. I barely survived a withdrawal from "clozapine", a deadly neuroleptic which was prescribed to me for social anxiety.

We speak of physical fitness, not just physical health or physical illness. Just like physical fitness requires working to keep strong and stay strong, mental fitness requires working to keep strong and stay strong. When asthmatics (physically ill) can win Olympics then isn't it time we realize that people can manage their weaknesses and their strengths can be championship levels in mental fitness as well as in physical fitness.

The fork in the road she refers to is Alchemy! It split into chemistry and real psychotherapy. Only the chemical part survived. When she talks about psychedelics, that’s great, but she is STILL on the chemical side. I think the psychedelic approach is great, but the understanding of the PSYCHE, as defined by Jung, has been lost from the study and practice of PSYCHology. She missed it.

Psychiatry is an industry, like any other industry. There is a profit motive. I went from being on a few medications (for over a decade) to absolutely none. I still deal with depression and anxiety. But I have grown far more through taking on challenges and messing up (learning). I am far beyond where I would be if I was still on medication. This isn't to say that I don't think medication is necessary for some people, but it goes to show that it isn't necessarily there be all end all.

What a role model, beauty both inside and out.

Wow thank you for your speech I wish they were helping us with this new drug I knew there was a way we could get over it thank you 🌸

A beautiful message from a beautiful woman!

And so many other treatments are proven to be beneficial for emotional dysregulation. Like DBT. It does WONDERS. EFT, EMDR, those have helped me heal for real from trauma. And move on. On the other hand, I believe there is a time and place for benzos or SSRIs, just like for some there could be a time for psychedelics. But the potential dangers of developing something like schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions should be very clearly stated. Even weed can have that side effect. Please be careful if it is in your family history.

Thank you Khaliya for your beautiful human, intelligent and important contribution!!!!

Thank you. Well done!

Talking against big pharma is indeed courageous. I would fear for my life. They don't want us to be healthy..

Dear Society: Please vote for politicians who recognize that the drug war is the single most damaging policy ever to be forced upon a free country.

You're such a brave soul, thank you for everything ❄⭐

Wonderfull!!! Thank you for this talk. I'd like to add using professional EFT. Perhaps less cumbersome? EFT is very effective for neurological change. For mental and physical healing

Gosh - at last someone is articulating what it's like to have a mental injury. My point was always, that if after a mental trauma you have no trauma then you are mentally sick. If you break your leg ' you see the injury, you recover and maybe it leaves a few scars, but usually the body still functions. So if you are abused. Suffer violent crime etc it would be abnormal not to incur injury. She is right and those who have suffered this know it. They know they are otherwise healthy - many parts of their brain and lives carry on normally. I know thousands if not millions of people hide their mental injuries if they can, so they're not further injured by mental health practitioners. You know after the first couple of consultations it ain't going to work, few have empathy or understanding and most don't have a clue. So you try to recover on your own and every now and again this does work, but it's a case of trial.and error.

I hope this helps to change the mental health paradigm.

"Keeping them alive, but not healing them" so true, so sad

what a wonderful lady!!!

Hello. This is a great talk. It's a shame it's not translated to spanish, or any other language. I'd like to translate it to spanish myself, but the video is not allowed to have community contributions.

BRAVO! that's how to change people's opinions... Thank You

Thanks 🙏👍👍👍 FOR THE VIDEO 📸 I AGREE 💯👍💯👍💯

"Waiting for the moment when the scientific community and public at large will lift up its head and acknowledge its blind spots"

What this lady is saying has powerful applications with the Autism condition, in my view. It's very positive.

Annie: "I've heard you help people with horse problems." Tom: "Truth is, I help horses with people problems." 8:20 An injured soul. It's actually easy to diagnose with me: Take away the reason for my despair and boom, I stop being "mentally" ill. I just need hope. But I don't get any.

thanks for this. this rings true. mental injury. God bless you for telling the truth

There are two kinds of perfect people: those who are dead, and those who have not been born yet. ~Chinese Proverb

Real mental health is spiritual in nature... true spirituality has all the answers...

" we keep people alive but dont heal them"

Obviously, there's big money being earned treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals. Using relatively brief low-cost treatments that effectively manage and even cure disease meets resistance. The use of psychedelics, fasting, and neurolinguistic programming for treating mental health disorders effectively and relatively quickly has been known for many years.

Ayahuasca, for real, saved my life. It should be used clinically, in a safe environment.

HOW TRUE! !!!

Brilliant Thankyou

Thank you so much

The real challenge is you can't have an army or perhaps accountants 😛with free acces to psychedlics - Psilocybin, MDMA, 'toad' - bring on the shrooms but let's prepare for a near complete overhaul of what normal life is going to look and feel like. Psychedelics mediate fear - amygdala, hypochampus, if you reduced fear by 10% in the world you'd have to gut the military budget and completely redesign 'deathcare' and thats only the beginning

She is so sweet !

I think she missed out on other forms of therapy that focus more on the healing, like schema therapy

What if Aldous Huxley was right ? and his novel ISLAND was a potential working model for the future of humanity !

Min 8:05 is where it really starts , sort of.

I just want to hug her!!!!❤❤❤

A vital teaching. However time limitation, & money, undeveloped truth in the medical world, & lack of care/ devotion to true care research, & beaurocracy, all hinder these breakthroughs in knowledge. Who will help this lady spread this descovery? Has it been said before & it has been kept quiet? Listen to the interview with Carolyn Bramhall. Also the Testimony of Dr. David Wood, diagnosed as a sociopath.

This needs more views

She is so pretty. Love her clothes too. Great talk.

One out of one men become a victim of violence. Lest we forget as tragic as it is the violence happens to anyone. Men are faced with the vast majority of societal challenges.

praying for your salvation in JESUS CHRIST YOUR LORD AND YOUR GOD❤

The best way to heal your mental health is to believe in God and nothing else will come close. Read the Bible and trust in God. A ticket to ethernal life. This life is just a short journey…

Fantastic

No. They will do whatever they can to keep and grab, the truth out of our presence.

At the age of 72 ,I want to know where I can get involved with the trials ….Canadian eh !

One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small

Why is it like this? Because of money! (and politics. But that's also mostly about money)

Make a drug that completes neuroplasticity.I’m a schizophrenic.

What truck did you fall from? You just repeated word for word what I have been writing about love to know how you got that content

What if most of what we knew about Mental Health is correct?

What a beautiful woman omg :)

You are beautiful, thank you 🌟❤

Sometimes I feel like the fly , in the movie "help me"! 😱😰😶

This is a tantalising glimpse, but nothing more. Are there any follow-up to this? Did the 72% effective drug ever get released onto the market? In short… What happens next?!

Who do I contact about these trials,my ex boyfriend swears on LSD clearing the mind...any advice for me 🙏🙏 Thank You 🙏

Interesting.

Interesting

Everything you know is wrong! Did you know that everything you know is wrong?

360 for a full circle!

Meanwhile, Prozac, etc. measurable in our drinking water.

Legalize LSD and other psydelics.

If she hadn’t suffered, would she have cared? Sorry that her suffering lasted so long.

What do you have to say about the Towers that conveniently went up when the world was irder to isolate at home inder lick down mandates of COVID?

Can't hear.. volume to low.

what if? well is it or isn't it so??

Love love TRshow however it may have blind spots (?) to reference the speaker of this video My response post was removed & no indication? Safety to feel .. 🤔 A symptom to be silenced &or other patterns ..
