OCD, Mental Health and Jesus with Aimee, MS, LPC
Приєднався 17 сер 2010
I am a licensed mental health therapist who works with those who have experienced trauma, who suffer from OCD and who suffer from anxiety. I also have OCD and suffered from great anxiety in the past as a result of my OCD. So I truly get it!! You will find out more about my journey with OCD, my walk with God and what that process has been like for me. I also hope to provide tools, perspective, humor, encouragement and scriptural discussions to those who are Interested. I am hoping to continue to develop this channel with your help and support! So stay tuned! Welcome and I hope this is a blessing and an encouragement to you!
Does God Make Every Decision FOR Me?!
Often as Christians, we get caught up in the fear of making a "wrong" decision. And as a result, we obsessively ask God to help us make the "right" decision so we don't mess up or make a mistake and then have trouble moving forward in that decision if we don't get a clear and exact answer from Him. But I believe that God has given us more freedom than that. And we are meant to exercise that freedom while trusting in His sovereignty in the process.

Mental Health and Menstrual Health (don't skip this one, men!)

Thanks for visiting! I've found it extremely helpful to track my menstrual cycle when it comes to my own mental health journey. It has helped me to put increased or decreased negative mental health symptoms into further context as I go through that monthly cycle!
God and the Creative Self....
Переглядів 326 місяців тому
It's been a long time since I've done a video! But I wanted to share some thoughts in regards to being in touch with our creative selves and how challenging that can be sometimes! Yet it is a part of us that God has created and requires trust and vulnerability to tap into. ❤️

After a very difficult couple of weeks, I felt God minister to me some powerful reminders the other day....I do wish I would have said more about our secure identity in Christ and our identity as His sons and daughters here on earth....but I might do a Part 2 and expound!! 💜

You make a good point. I will do a video based somewhat on your vid. God bless you. Eph 1:12-13
Thank you so much. I struggled with this for decades. IT was so helpful and liberating to listen to you. Thank you and God bless you. With Love from Germany❤
Wow, that is great to hear!! So happy. God bless you in Germany. 😊
Wow, I have been in a week of decision making and I am paralyzed, thank you for this!!!
I am sorry and I understand that! You are so welcome! I hope it brings you some relief.
God bless you ❤
Hi Aimee! Great video! I found your channel because I liked your username and clicked on it when you commented on my video. :) I just watched this video and would like to get in touch. How can I reach you?
Hey Jaimie! I subscribe to your articles and have watched some of your videos recently! Great to hear from you. You can reach me at amdassele34@gmail.com. 😊
Not bad, your further training will have taught you we need to work with the managers first. Otherwise, you're right on point.
I enjoyed your presentation and found it encouraging
Thank you!!
⛪🌹🫶🫂💋
Great
Missing you aimee
Great stuff, with a lot of substance and things to think about. Thank you. God Bless.
Thanks you!!!
Recently, I've started experiencing something very unpleasant: I have frequent intrusive thoughts of grating sounds - sounds such as nails on a chalkboard, a dentist's drill, etc - the types of sounds that cause us to then experience horrible physical sensations in our body, like hair standing on my arms, feeling cold, chills, etc. I try to put these awful sounds out of my mind, I try to evoke more soothing sounds or memories to override the grating sounds, but I find it hard to get rid of the grating sounds. Would you say that's an example of OCD?
Absolutely. And I'm so sorry that you experience that. I would encourage you to get in with a trained ERP therapist and/or a therapist who is trained in trauma treatment. Though I don't know your history, past trauma can certainly exacerbate symptoms.
The transformation of Mind into higher mind is blocked when we blame others for our own thinking our own judgments our own bias our own hate our own jealousies our own inadequacies. When we recognize ourself as the master of our life and our mind in learning consciousness the scapegoat gets to run free and the mind becomes transformed and to conscious kind higher mind knowing what is love what is light what is good what is evil and who am I
Very encouraging. These things have really been on my mind lately. Please keep posting. Your perspective is refreshing to my heart and relatable. We need each Christian to prod thier brothers and sisters forward. That is what you are doing with your videos . I appreciate you sharing. May God continue to bless your speech and the works of your hands. I’m continually shocked at how effective small gestures are at showing people the gentleness and kindness of Christ. Please keep sharing and touching hearts!
Thank you so much!!
🙏👍
Aimee is my special messenger
Hi
Thank you 💚💛❤️
It was very nice
Love it. Very encouraging!
Encouraging message Aimee 👍 what was the Tom Petty said?, the waiting is the hardest part.. 🎶😩😁 but for me it sure helps knowing that Gods Holy Spirit is there working with us here and behind-the-scenes when we're waiting.. 🎶 and I wanted to mention, I like the outdoor videos and scenery 🌞
Thanks for this interesting thought
Do you do on line therapy?
I do but only in the state where I'm licensed!
@@Jesusandmentalhealth what’s state is that ?
@@Joshua12346-g Hi Love and Peace...I am in Arizona.
Yes. Job is a good example of this. That book is about a suffering man that wrestled with Uncertainty and God. In the end we learn that within the terrible circumstances, God taught Job through them. I can’t help but also think of the strange story when Jacob wrestled with God in the flesh in the Old Testament. At the end of the wrestling, Jacob clung to God and would not let Him go, having the uncertainty of what would happen with him and Esua, his brother, whom he betrayed. After He clung to God and refused to let go, God blessed him, and gave him a new name, which I think represents the transformation of heart and mind you are talking about. Enjoyed the video! Keep up the good work
Great observations! Thanks for sharing! And I very much appreciate the encouragement.
Another good video Ammie! lots of good stuff here ! I am going to listen to this again,,,,and I like you're saying about rewiring! 👍 And have fun with your family. 🌞
@@jayheinz4624 thank you Jay!
Thanks for helping spread IFS with the world! I need to learn more about how it works with OCD
Thank you and thanks for the feedback! Yes, I look forward to doing future videos on it!
Well said!!👍 An interesting about it called the doubting disease. I think I might have heard that many years back?👌
That was interesting. I have never heard of the IFS model before? You did a nice clear explanation of it. And I really liked what you said around 12 minutes, about learning how to trust our new self, our new heart that God created along with trusting Jesus,I've been learning more about that and working on that more the last couple of years myself. I had that once many many years ago and had lost it, so it is great to have found it again in a new maybe more mature fresh way. Thanks for sharing this video Aimee. 🌞
Thank you Jay! I appreciate you sharing your journey.
@@Jesusandmentalhealth you're welcome👍 and I think we're on similar journeys with similar passions to help people in these areas. I find out also with Friends on the Andrew Farley live chat group as. I also have a passion to help people, True believers that feel like they've backslidden and feel like they're going to Hell find assurance and peace. Have a good day!🌞
Oh? you are a licensed mental health therapist Aimee? I have been working in the field of mental health and with people with disabilities for many years in the Bismarck North Dakota area. You look familiar? I wonder if we have met before? And a few years back I figured out I had religious trauma and have recently figured out that I had religious OCD all these years as well, after being only diagnosed, with just anxiety. It's a big eye opener! More Christians and people need to know about this. I've been trying to spread the word also. I really like these videos you're doing, I think they're going to help a lot of people!👍🙏
I also really like Mark de Jesus. I came across him a few months back also, because of a Grace friend telling me about him. He helped open my eyes to see I had religious OCD. I also join in on his UA-cam chat from time to time along with Dr Andrew Farley's UA-cam chat. I'm looking forward to hearing more of what you have to say about all of this. 👍
Thanks so much Jay and again, I really appreciate your support on these videos! I have never been to North Dakota so I doubt we have met.
@@Jesusandmentalhealth you're welcome about the videos and I was just thinking maybe we had been Instagram friends? I've been friends or made friends on IG with similar recovery interests.
Thanks for sharing this !This is good!✨🙏I can definitely relate to what you're saying in a lot of ways ! I hope you get a lot more views and comments! After giving my heart to the Lord back in high school, I remember evangelists saying things that put guilt and burdens on me and others, such as saying, you need to witness to to people and if you don't, if they die, you will be accountable for their soul on judgement day. So we tried to witness. Then my cousin ,who was my best friend since I was three years old,who I wanted to talk to,and share my new faith, got killed on a motorcycle. I had survivor's guilt for years. Anyway, there's alot more to the story of course. I'm doing a lot better as of the last few years because of good grace teachers like Andrew Farley and Brad Robertson and friends in a Grace group.
That is excellent Jay, I'm glad you have that support. And I absolutely love Andrew Farley! I appreciate you sharing your story. And I can empathize as well. I think many of us have those guilt laden stories of not sharing our faith with someone and them dying. Glad you are in the recovery process and are doing better.
@@Jesusandmentalhealth 👍🌞🐦
Thanks for sharing that,! I can definitely relate, especially the religious OCD,,and best wishes with writing your book.✨👍 And by the way, I was just obsessing about which emojis to use. LOL 😅 🐦
Haha, love that! I have obsessed over emojis too. Thank you so much Jay! I really appreciate that! It's good to know we are not alone out there isn't it.
Well said! 👍💙
Do you want to grow your channel?
Thank you! I learned so much with your presentation. Do you think this disorder can be passed on genetically? In other words, are there studies that would demonstrate this?
Thanks Darrell! Great question. There have been studies that show certain areas of the brain that function differently in OCD brains than in non-OCD brains. The jury is out though in terms of genetics, though there is valid suspicion that there are genetic components, which I believe to be true. Though this is probably more than likely true, I think environment, upbringing, etc. also play big roles. Like any other mental health issue, OCD is a coping mechanism to compensate for deeper issues. I find that fascinating. 😊
@@Jesusandmentalhealth Thank you Aimee. I appreciate your taking the time to bring me perspective on this. Have you ever seen someone “delivered” suddenly via prayer? Example: I’ve seen some alcoholics delivered instantly (very few) and others (most) have to work through a structured program, i.e., “12 Steps” and always refer to themselves as an alcoholic, even though they’ve not had a drink in 20 years. Or, could it be that those who were “delivered” instantly, not technically alcoholics? (Not to diminish the power of God to deliver. . . ). Make sense?
That is a really interesting thought in terms of them maybe not really being alcoholics and such. I've never actually seen someone delivered but I have seen stories on UA-cam where they claim to have been delivered from it. So, I don't know??
Thank you!
Starting this channel and hoping you come along!! God bless....
Theres a Michelle Alvarez that has a UA-cam channel called Encouraging Word Ministry. She has dark hair. Is a nurse. Came out of New Age. Shes born again and truly loves Jesus. Shes such a blessing and probably around your age. You may find her to be a huge benefit in your journey.

Oh no, so sorry. Not sure what happened.
