Childhood trauma from observing an abusive parent abusing the other can trigger anxiety; I'm so glad I found your tutorial, the explanation is quite helpful. Encouraging talk therapy, Self expression and articulating feelings is very important as well as presenting reality. REST ( Reduce environmental stimulation therapy) is excellent by e.g Tai Chi as well as by guided imagery. Thank you very much.
Dr Snipes. Thank you. For your empathy and your intelligence without arrogance. You are clearly trying o capture, help and explain the most complex and enormous range of symptoms but with understanding and humanity and taking a holistic view. This to me indicates real intelligence along with compassion. I’m glad you failed calculus and moved into this sphere to find your calling!
Omg for years after my divorce I had to deal with this and I couldn't figure it out what was wrong with me. Thank you for this, this video has helped me more than going to counseling for 6 months.
@@mirelladlima5278 How are you now? Be careful of what you feed your mind. To feel better reduce negative thoughts and overthinking. Avoid comparing with others, reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed, avoid moving too much and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Never meditate with expectations but with awareness. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Observe your breath sensations before sleep, in college, at work, taking a walk, when reading, etc.etc. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.
From my experience with anxiety and undiagnosed BPD: 1) Reduce or eliminate caffeine and stimulants (like nicotine). If you must drink caffeine, have two small doses within four hours of waking up. Caffeine has a 12 hour quarter-life, which means drinking 4 cups of coffee at 10am leaves 1 entire cup in your system at 10pm! Caffeine anxiety and psychosis are REAL! Other stimulants like nicotine can make you feel constantly afraid and worried. (I believe many people on psych meds have undiagnosed caffeine psychosis, but most counselors and psychiatrists miss this obvious connection.) 2) Exercising vigorously for 30 to 45 minutes per day will reduce your anxiety from "unbearable" to "unpleasant, but manageable." Walking hilly terrain works best for me. 3) Practice mindfulness and slow, deep breathing. Realize that you may be experiencing "Transient Stress-Related Paranoid Ideations." If you have BPD, stressful situations may cause you to panic and think "Worst-case scenario" for hours or days. This is probably leftover from traumatic and confusing childhood experiences. Realizing that your anxiety was triggered by sudden, stressful event can help you calm down and understand that there is no monster under the bed.
As a new licensed practicing social worker, working in a counseling department, this is SO useful. A majority of my clients struggle with Anxiety. Thank you for this perfectly detailed and useful information.

I almost agreed but man why so much drugs. It’s like hey you have a drug problem here’s some drugs so you can stop using drugs. Hey you have depression here’s some drugs hey you have anxiety problems here’s some drugs hey you don’t like it when it’s slightly cloudy out side I here take these drugs. It’s like how about you stop being pawns for the medical industry aka (largest drug empire) and research the fact that every drug mentioned on this video causes so many more problems than they cure. Oh wait they don’t they just treat symptoms aka “first times always free”
I suffer from GAD and OCD this is my first time watching this, and honestly, I don't think I need medicine, I just need CBT. I feel so much less anxious after hearing this than medicine ever made me feel. I always felt like medicine really only MAKES you think your less anxious but really your anxious about "what if the medicine stops working" "what if the side effects start" I don't like the idea of depending on a pill made in a lab. After watching this.. I fell when you're not on medicine, you feel 100% in control of your own mind because you know there is no chemicals messing with your brain except for what your own body produced. A lot of anxiety is the idea that you're alone and NO ONE in the entire world feels the way you do or understands and aren't even taking you seriously. But after watching this... I know i'm not alone. In fact, I know people out there suffer even worse than I do. I will definitely start doing CBT as often as possible.
I don't like to take medicine either. I do take natural remedies. No side effects and your body knows just what to do with it and only uses what it needs, unlike man made medicines. The Body doesn't recognize it so it has to try to figure it out. SAMe, Ashwagandha & Rhodiola are the best I've found for anxiety and depression. They've helped me a lot. They don't have side effects but SAMe can interact with some medicine like cough syrup. Best to check it out if you think you might want to try it I agree with you about CBT.

Thank you for posting this. I am a counselor in training and I am struggling with my social anxiety client. She’s a young girl who is worried about what ppl think about her and often does the “mind reading” thing with no evidence they are thinking about her at all. She KNOWS her thinking is skewed but she cannot stop thinking about it. Idk what else to do and now I feel incompetent 😖

I'm like that with tornados. I'm from ca, having never been around them before moving to KY was hell for me, all day and night I worried we would be hit. We eventually had to move, to a state that has had 1 tornado in its history. I feel a million billion times better.

This was a very informative presentation and as someone who suffers from anxiety as do my parents it is much appreciated. One thing however is that I would suggest is that a lead idea and it's related ideas under it should be labeled differently, every point is tabbed with an orange arrow making it hard to differentiate when observing. Thank you.
i would like say thanks so much, at the moment im struggling with a very long relapse from my opioid addiction of almost 30yrs and this was due to a head trauma, ive tried NA,which helped me to get clean and created an opening inside my head, this time seems so much harder having all this knowledge yet never work it,denial is so very cunning i can be in it for weeks before i snao out and it was listening to your videos for which iam grateful, for me ill continue to fight my demons on a daily basis and to anyone else out there who is struggling we can always try again tomorrow cant we x

@@mirelladlima5278 Life is tough. Develop your mental muscles. Never meditate with expectations but with awareness. Since many years I have made it a habit to observe my breath sensations even during my normal activities and I am feeling relaxed and healthy. Anywhere-anytime it can be done. The best part is nobody comes to know that you are doing the breath observing practice as there is no deep breathing or sound. Reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Read my msg and do the practice regularly. Best wishes. Sr. Counsellor.
Having faith in your ability to tackle whatever life throws at you and having the ability to adapt and adjust according to new information and learning more about yourself and the world without judging yourself for not knowing these things - all things I wish I was able to do, wish my parents had known about how to give me those gifts, but they didn’t have those things to give. Is there really any science behind aromatherapy- and there it is - as soon as I ask a question, you answer it - it’s almost like there’s something supernatural going on because this isn’t even live 😅. I’m very much inclined towards scientific evidence which has been reproduced enough times that it’s about as certain as we’re ever going to get, so it was probably the next logical thing that you would go to. I wish some more counsellors watched these videos! Either way you are providing top quality content. It helps more than you know.

I'm the first to say I'm not perfect. Yet everyone expects me to be. I'm so done with relationships. I'm tired of men controlling my life on top of micromanaged every moment of the day, I never had a break. I'm happy now. Just have an ex-husband stalking me at work, where I live. Threatened to kill me, but hey, not under his thumb....one down...free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I am free at last!
Thank God you are now living without Fear, Brave you,! Enjoy ur life , and you have a second chance to live your Best life, sending you love from Ireland 🙏🥰💕
Choose a different kind of man then. Dont compare your poor ability to gauge peoples character to actual slavery though. That's a really bad look. Once you grow up little boys wont chase after you and you are the one who made the choice to give so much time and energy to things that didnt make you happy.
And block your ex. Actually block him. Dont keep talking shit and blame him for being upset about it. Completely avoid him and odds are hell go away. Also stop posting to social media for a while. That will just give him a way to stay obsessed. These are simple things that you can do to fix your problem. Itll say a lot about you whether or not you take them. Best of luck.
I have friends who have experienced these controlling (usually narcissistic) partners. When they did as Brandon suggests and basically stopped feeding the “beast” like they were just not giving them any information at all - not even a photo. They get bored and go away (probably to torture some other poor soul, but there is nothing that can stop that unless they break the law).

I always feel like somethings going to go wrong. I tend to habitably worry a lot and it causes distress, and I know this is something from childhood. Do you have any advice that can help me?
Here is my question,... can it cure severe chronic insomnia.??.. that will cause a panic attack. I have zero panic during the day, no depression. severe chronic insomnia CBT.... where the panic happens at night of I can't sleep?.. I have been to over 15 doctors and specialist. Psychiatrists and testing. I have zero depression. I have no panic if I sleep. Klonopin was the only drug that works and I have healthy sleep habits. I have a peaceful home, a loving partner. I have heard thousands of of takes and followed thousands of suggestions. Nothing has worked past 4 hours and klonopin has given no side effects. 6 years of 1.5 mg nd zero side effects. My panic is about fear of not falling asleep. None during the day. Thank you for answering. No anxiety unless I get little or no sleep.
I appreciate you watching the video and thank you for sharing. Have you tried creating safety? I have a video on that: ua-cam.com/users/livekHfs-PnmyXs?feature=share Here are the videos on improving sleep: ua-cam.com/users/DocSnipessearch?query=sleep
@@DocSnipes I feel like I am in a warm safe place all the time. I created that yes. My home is cozy and safe, my bedroom is safe. My loving amazing partner is safe. It is not it. I am saying I have zero fears except the fear of not falling asleep. I am confident in a room of 5000 people,... and I am an introvert. No past things triggered. Can CBT help with that..... True insomnia is the fear of not falling asleep or getting sleep. Not other things. My Psychiatrist said "maybe it would help" .... so maybe you have not experienced this.
Hello Doc Snipes, how are you? Here in Brazil they claim that treatments with Aromatherapy are not effective. That there are no established guidelines.
Thank you for watching the video and for sharing that information. There are some studies that prove aromatherapy helps those struggling with anxiety: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5111093/ www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S016503271933160X pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36687893/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36738535/
Anxiety is common in countries which are used to getting things from other countries without really working for it, but for fools and brokers who facilitate their dirty mind games on fellow citizens. In developing countries, the citizens are used to work for things that they want. It is an inherent quality of many citizens to work for what they want and not be anxious, except for those fools and brokers in these countries who facilitate the shortcut dirty acts for them and are anxious "for them"! People are taught how not to be anxious and work for what they want, at a very early age, but for the cheapos who do dirty acts with a desperate desire to facilitate the rogues putting their own fellow citizens down to shame and projecting them otherwise, to satiate heir dirty greed, create shortcuts for "their fancies and their babes, as much as their mafia brothers"......in the garbs of deshbhakti.
I've noticed that even mild anxiety can affect your breathing and the pace of your breathing oh yes that's why we had to remain calm and mine I have to give all the glory to God because I'm a born again Christian so I like what you say there's a lot of good truth there but I give all the glory to God because he helps keep me calm so that when I do get anxiety it's very minimal if at all and he helps control my breathing so like when I'm donating plasma or something else I can get through and it's not an issue

Thank you for watching, Norman. There are some studies out there that have linked lower omega-3 PUFAs and higher omega-6 PUFAs with inflammation and depression but I strongly advise you to talk to your doctor before taking any medication.
Why do we think that worrying is somehow going to protect us from things we fear. I suppose that staying alert when there’s a wild animal or a pack of wild animals circling your cave or whatever shelter you have built to protect yourself and your family back in early times might have been useful 1000s of years ago. Even then if you’ve done everything you can to reinforce your dwelling - no amount of worrying is going to change the outcome.
That's one reason I enjoy this channel, she breaks brain chemistry and biology down in such a way that's very easy to understand at a base level. She'll mention how the amygdala works with other parts of the brain, how serotonin, dopamine, etc contribute to our natal responses, how we can get a hold on these things. Love it! Thanks Dr. Snipes!
Whether you're perfect or not, even if you've never failed, you can look just as much a failure as someone who never tried. It is possible but it will take some very careful planning by some very malicious green-eyed monsters. Sad thing is, it happens to more people than folks care to know.

I'm like that with tornados. I'm from ca, having never been around them before moving to KY was hell for me, all day and night I worried we would be hit. We eventually had to move, to a state that has had 1 tornado in its history. I feel a million billion times better.
I grew up in Texas and when I moved to California, I was certain it was my fate to die in a earthquake. 😁
I can understand. I've been through a number of tornadoes and hurricanes. I'd rather deal with those than earthquakes.

Thank you so much
So nice of you.
I am so glad you explain how the medication works vs don't work. I enjoyed your lecture.
Excellent presentation, very informative and helpful.
Thank you!
This was a very informative presentation and as someone who suffers from anxiety as do my parents it is much appreciated. One thing however is that I would suggest is that a lead idea and it's related ideas under it should be labeled differently, every point is tabbed with an orange arrow making it hard to differentiate when observing. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback and watching.

sTAR 23, How are you now? Be careful of what you feed your mind. To feel better reduce negative thoughts and overthinking. Avoid comparing with others, reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed, avoid moving too much and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Never meditate with expectations but with awareness. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Observe your breath sensations before sleep, in college, at work, taking a walk, when reading, etc.etc. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.

@Shyaaam Meneen - Thanks 🙏
@@mirelladlima5278 Life is tough. Develop your mental muscles. Never meditate with expectations but with awareness. Since many years I have made it a habit to observe my breath sensations even during my normal activities and I am feeling relaxed and healthy. Anywhere-anytime it can be done. The best part is nobody comes to know that you are doing the breath observing practice as there is no deep breathing or sound. Reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Read my msg and do the practice regularly. Best wishes. Sr. Counsellor.
Having faith in your ability to tackle whatever life throws at you and having the ability to adapt and adjust according to new information and learning more about yourself and the world without judging yourself for not knowing these things - all things I wish I was able to do, wish my parents had known about how to give me those gifts, but they didn’t have those things to give.
Is there really any science behind aromatherapy- and there it is - as soon as I ask a question, you answer it - it’s almost like there’s something supernatural going on because this isn’t even live 😅. I’m very much inclined towards scientific evidence which has been reproduced enough times that it’s about as certain as we’re ever going to get, so it was probably the next logical thing that you would go to.
I wish some more counsellors watched these videos! Either way you are providing top quality content. It helps more than you know.
Thanks so much!
You are a wonderful, insightful, inspirational gift x thank you.

My ex girlfriend (29yrs old) is doing her own research and came up with the conclusion of being autistic (this mimics schizophrenia, along with other disorders) and effector along with other meds were making it worse.

Doctor Snipes, do you have information about anxiety related chest pain?thank you
I'm the first to say I'm not perfect. Yet everyone expects me to be. I'm so done with relationships. I'm tired of men controlling my life on top of micromanaged every moment of the day, I never had a break. I'm happy now. Just have an ex-husband stalking me at work, where I live. Threatened to kill me, but hey, not under his thumb....one down...free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I am free at last!
Thank God you are now living without Fear, Brave you,! Enjoy ur life , and you have a second chance to live your Best life, sending you love from Ireland 🙏🥰💕
Choose a different kind of man then. Dont compare your poor ability to gauge peoples character to actual slavery though. That's a really bad look. Once you grow up little boys wont chase after you and you are the one who made the choice to give so much time and energy to things that didnt make you happy.
And block your ex. Actually block him. Dont keep talking shit and blame him for being upset about it. Completely avoid him and odds are hell go away. Also stop posting to social media for a while. That will just give him a way to stay obsessed. These are simple things that you can do to fix your problem. Itll say a lot about you whether or not you take them. Best of luck.
I have friends who have experienced these controlling (usually narcissistic) partners. When they did as Brandon suggests and basically stopped feeding the “beast” like they were just not giving them any information at all - not even a photo. They get bored and go away (probably to torture some other poor soul, but there is nothing that can stop that unless they break the law).

@@DocSnipes how you explained in way that makes total sense, very detailed but easy to understand, like a blueprint if you will, and really easy digest it in a way I can go away and actually put a plan in action to help me, which I thank you and really appreciate your upload, I’ve subscribed to the channel and will watch more of your content, not shaw what’s going on in the uk, it’s they are using old data or they just aren’t qualified enough to actually even just explain anxiety, never mind form treatment’s that make a difference

I always feel like somethings going to go wrong. I tend to habitably worry a lot and it causes distress, and I know this is something from childhood. Do you have any advice that can help me?
You should work on those issues with a professional counselor.
Here is my question,... can it cure severe chronic insomnia.??.. that will cause a panic attack. I have zero panic during the day, no depression. severe chronic insomnia CBT.... where the panic happens at night of I can't sleep?.. I have been to over 15 doctors and specialist. Psychiatrists and testing. I have zero depression. I have no panic if I sleep. Klonopin was the only drug that works and I have healthy sleep habits. I have a peaceful home, a loving partner. I have heard thousands of of takes and followed thousands of suggestions. Nothing has worked past 4 hours and klonopin has given no side effects. 6 years of 1.5 mg nd zero side effects. My panic is about fear of not falling asleep. None during the day. Thank you for answering. No anxiety unless I get little or no sleep.

ua-cam.com/users/DocSnipessearch?query=sleep
@@DocSnipes I feel like I am in a warm safe place all the time. I created that yes. My home is cozy and safe, my bedroom is safe. My loving amazing partner is safe. It is not it. I am saying I have zero fears except the fear of not falling asleep. I am confident in a room of 5000 people,... and I am an introvert. No past things triggered. Can CBT help with that..... True insomnia is the fear of not falling asleep or getting sleep. Not other things. My Psychiatrist said "maybe it would help" .... so maybe you have not experienced this.
Chest pain,heart palpitations, health anxiety

@@kalenaglory2483 what kind exactly??
Anxiety is common in countries which are used to getting things from other countries without really working for it, but for fools and brokers who facilitate their dirty mind games on fellow citizens.
In developing countries, the citizens are used to work for things that they want. It is an inherent quality of many citizens to work for what they want and not be anxious, except for those fools and brokers in these countries who facilitate the shortcut dirty acts for them and are anxious "for them"! People are taught how not to be anxious and work for what they want, at a very early age, but for the cheapos who do dirty acts with a desperate desire to facilitate the rogues putting their own fellow citizens down to shame and projecting them otherwise, to satiate heir dirty greed, create shortcuts for "their fancies and their babes, as much as their mafia brothers"......in the garbs of deshbhakti.

Do you have a training on treating clients dx with Tokophobia?
Thanks for watching.
I've noticed that even mild anxiety can affect your breathing and the pace of your breathing oh yes that's why we had to remain calm and mine I have to give all the glory to God because I'm a born again Christian so I like what you say there's a lot of good truth there but I give all the glory to God because he helps keep me calm so that when I do get anxiety it's very minimal if at all and he helps control my breathing so like when I'm donating plasma or something else I can get through and it's not an issue

Doctor Snipes ,do you have any facts that Omega 3 may help reduce anxiety, someone else told me this,I wanted to know if you know thank you
Thank you for watching, Norman. There are some studies out there that have linked lower omega-3 PUFAs and higher omega-6 PUFAs with inflammation and depression but I strongly advise you to talk to your doctor before taking any medication.
@@DocSnipes I been taking omega 3 anyway ,in hope it would help with my high cholesterol,God bless you

Why do we think that worrying is somehow going to protect us from things we fear. I suppose that staying alert when there’s a wild animal or a pack of wild animals circling your cave or whatever shelter you have built to protect yourself and your family back in early times might have been useful 1000s of years ago. Even then if you’ve done everything you can to reinforce your dwelling - no amount of worrying is going to change the outcome.
Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
That's one reason I enjoy this channel, she breaks brain chemistry and biology down in such a way that's very easy to understand at a base level. She'll mention how the amygdala works with other parts of the brain, how serotonin, dopamine, etc contribute to our natal responses, how we can get a hold on these things. Love it! Thanks Dr. Snipes!

Whether you're perfect or not, even if you've never failed, you can look just as much a failure as someone who never tried. It is possible but it will take some very careful planning by some very malicious green-eyed monsters. Sad thing is, it happens to more people than folks care to know.
