Summary

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Victor Carrión, M.D., the Vice-Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford School of Medicine and a world expert on the understanding and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children, adolescents, and adults. We explain why, as children, we are particularly vulnerable to PTSD and how stress and trauma affect the developing brain. We also discuss how PTSD is related to attention-deficient hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and vice versa. Dr. Carrión shares effective therapeutic interventions for PTSD, including cue-centered therapy (CCT) and how to create a custom “toolbox” to help you identify triggers and manage stress. We discuss an emerging curriculum that combines yoga and mindfulness to help people with PTSD improve their stress resilience, mood, and sleep. The episode will provide listeners of all ages with a clear understanding of PTSD and effective strategies to heal from it. Access the full show notes for this episode at hubermanlab.com.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.
0:06.0	I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of neurobiology at Stanford School of Medicine.
0:15.0	My guest today is Dr. Victor Kerrian.
0:18.0	Dr. Victor Kerrian is a professor and the vice chair of psychiatry and behavioral
0:22.0	sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.
0:25.4	He is one of the world's foremost experts on post-traumatic stress disorder.
0:29.1	In particular, the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder in children and

0:53.4	We focus heavily on a particular therapy called Q-centered therapy
0:56.6	that was developed by Dr. Carion and colleagues
0:59.0	that has been shown to offset the triggering
