29 Episode - Living in a World of Danger - Shot Six Times, Left For Dead, and How I Overcame PTSDIf you’ve lived with hypervigilance—always braced for danger—hear me: "You’re not broken". Your brain did exactly what it was designed to do—keep you alive. In this conversation, I explain how the mind encodes intense experiences and why emotional patterns can keep you locked in survival mode long after the danger is over. Then you’ll meet Nigel, a former police officer who was shot six times and carried the weight of that night for decades—until he learned to update the way his brain stored those memories. Nigel, a police officer in Northern Ireland, was shot six times.
I don’t treat you like a diagnosis. I teach you how your mind works and give you the tools to "rewrite the emotional learnings"—so your nervous system can stand down and the world feels safe again.

Robert Gene, Founder & CEO, Skills to Change Institute • Creator of Eutaptics / FasterEFT - Points of the Video * Hypervigilance is a protective adaptation, not evidence that you’re “broken.” * Trauma isn’t just what happened; it’s how the brain encoded what happened * Logic rarely dissolves trauma responses; "updating encoded memories" does. * You can change intense responses without describing the details (no‑content work). * Media, family dynamics, and culture can install fear patterns early. * Symptoms like panic, insomnia, hyper‑alertness, and specific sensitivities can be learned responses * Nigel’s story: grew up amid conflict, was later ambushed in the line of duty, and struggled with PTSD years afterward. * After many modalities (CBT, hypnotherapy, EFT, etc.), Eutaptics provided the shift he was seeking. * Core reframe: “Everything in me is me”—I direct the inner movie, so I can change it. * Forgiveness ≠ approving the past; it’s releasing what you still carry inside. * Results look like: calmer baseline, better sleep, fewer triggers, present‑moment living. * Invitation: learn the method or book a session to create measurable, lasting change. #trauma,#ptsd,#hypervigilance,#mentalhealth,#anxiety,#healing,#neuroplasticity,#mindset,#utaptics,#fasterEFT,#robertgene,#skillstochange,#survivalmode,#cptsd,#firstresponders,#police,#resilience,#forgiveness,#innerpeace,#selfhealing 00:00 – You’re Not Broken: Why Hypervigilance Is Smart 00:49 – PTSD Reframed: A Survival Skill, Not a Disorder 03:12 – How the Brain Encodes Danger (and Keeps You Alert) 07:45 – Growing Up in Chaos: Early Installations of Fear 12:30 – Symptoms You Might Miss: From Panic to Sensitivities 19:10 – Coping vs. Changing: Why Logic and Willpower Stall 25:40 – EFT, FasterEFT, Utaptics: What’s the Difference? 31:55 – Enter Nigel: From War Zone Childhood to the Badge 38:20 – The Ambush: Shot Six Times—and What Came After 45:05 – Years Later: Flashbacks, Insomnia, Hyper‑Alertness 51:30 – Trying Everything: When Modalities Don’t Finish the Job 57:15 – The Shift with Utaptics: Updating the Inner Movie 1:03:40 – Keeping the Wisdom, Releasing the Pain (Forgiveness) 1:09:55 – Skills for Life: Be Your Own Healer & Next Steps --- Want a short, direct session CTA blurb for the description or pinned comment?
