Check out my other MENTAL HEALTH videos: • Counseling Teenage Cli...
I have been an LMFT (Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist) in the State of California for almost a decade.
This channel is about Mental Health Awareness and Personal Growth. I will educate viewers about concepts in psychotherapy.
Should you be in Therapy counseling? I believe counseling is for everybody and most people can benefit from learning
more about themselves with the support of a Therapist. Therapy is an opportunity for growth, change and healing, whether
you are diagnosed with a clincial disorder, or you simply want to expore ways to feel better and have healthier relationships.
At "The Grateful Therapist" we will explore mental health "disorders" such a anxiety, depression, trauma. We will learn
about different interventions counselors use, and theories which guide their treatments, such a Art Therapy, Cognitive
Behavioral, EMDR, Existentialism, Attachment Theory, Therapy with Children & Teens, Mindfulness.
Practices, such a Gratitude Practice, or Meditation, that improve our Wellbeing.
NOTE: This channel is not a substitute for treatment. If you or someone you know needs counseling, please call your MD
and reach out for support, and call 911 if there is a psychiatric emergency. I cannot respond to a mental health crisis via youtube.
This channel is for education, not psychotherapy. I am a licensed therapist, but I am not YOUR therapist, please find a local professional for help in your area.

I am an introvert and this describes me spot on. I so enjoy quiet alone time and people often misread it.
Hi Madelynn, me too!!!! I have felt misunderstood too. I am so happy to understand myself and others better now! xoxo Quenby
I'm an introvert an INTP personality type, my girlfriend is more extroverted and socially driven. I just wish I could tell her that I require my time alone without upsetting her. From the point we met, she'd consistently drag me out to see her friends and have them over-- that in itself was incredibly overwhelming. I prefer to keep peers at a distance and chat with them online and don't feel comfortable being around them in person. It's not that there was anything wrong with her friends, they're just all very extroverted and time with them got overstimulating. Since she and I moved back to my hometown i've struggled getting alone time at all with us both being stuck in a room, and being tasked so much with doing things for her is piling up on me. I just wish people could understand better that I get burnt out without that personal time to recharge. I just feel suffocated or like i'm drowning.. 😢
Yeah I've realized more and more that I'm very introverted I mean it hurts being in real life. I grew up around alot of extroverted people that kind of abused my personality but I'm here and I keep trying. It's hard to believe this because I feel kind of muted but I know when I love someone I can speak freely so that helps
Too bad other people see us a a problem for not being talktative as they are..😢😢
Thanks Quenby for confirming what I already knew, I’m an introvert. You hit the nail on the head!
I am an introvert too and we are amazing, right? It has helped me so much to have a word for it and to normalize it. xo quenby
I am super excited for this channel! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for being excited, I am too. It's a bit of work to launch a new channel so I really appreciate your support!! xo Q
I am definitely an introvert now! In my teens i always hated being alone and being called shy. I wanted that social active life. It got better after High School and began to be more outgoing. In my 20’s i wanted ro plan the parties... But after the office parties and wvents i went to i always got sick/ panic attack after each event. I always thought I got food poisoning.. but now i realize it was a sever over stimulation and a downward spiral to getting sick. This eventually became to overwhelming and started to have sever panic attacks with any type of event or dail routine.
I can relate! It helps me to know that I have all those things too and I need to take better care of myself. You can too. I would def seek support and find a therapist in your area who works with panic attacks. Thank you for sharing this. xoxoo Quenby
Love this, Quenby. I have recently been wondering, though also accepting, the idea that I am not as social as my family is/was. My mom and dad were both more extroverted and very social and both my brothers are very much so and also very social. Me on the other hand, not so much. I like that solitude. I'm more a thinker and I don't like to have more than one thing "scheduled" in a day. Yet I am very much like you in everything else - okay with public speaking, I enjoy meeting people, etc., etc. I never would have thought previously of myself as introverted but have thought a lot about it the last several months and realized it's okay to be different from the rest of my family. :) My son - probably more introverted. My daughter - definitely extroverted. Hubby, introverted. But it all works. I hope lots of people view this video, Quenby!!!!
Thanks for this amazing comment Betsy. I personally found it extremely helpful to have a name for "the way I am". It all made sense and it was very helpful to educate my loved ones about my introverted ways so they don't take it personally. Yes, we can all work together and it's easier if everyone respects our different ways of being. xoxo Quenby
Honestly I have thought endless nights about this same question...im used to feel both equal..but the older I become the more i like and ENJOY my solitude and the more i protect myself myself from draining individuals. Im learning my mental health comes first in most cases. This is one time I feel as though its ok to be selfish. My sanity and self image and self love and self care are worth it!!
YES!!!! i love ""my mental health come first"
Hi Quenby,
Great video, I am definitely an introvert, and have always felt misunderstood and like I didn’t fit in my whole life!!! It has taken me a long time to accept who I am, and that there is nothing wrong with me. And Im OK with that now and if someone doesn’t care for me as an introvert .... oh well for them!!!
The strange thing or wrench thrown into my life is that I have a gifted singing voice and love to sing, it is my one true passion I’m still hoping to use or do as a career option. And I have somewhat.... sung at baseball games, nursing homes, even on a cruise talent show and everywhere i went after the show people loved to say hello and talk to me.. it was so funny!!! Then they would play the songs in the elevators or replay show on the cruise TV!!
But my total stage fright has gotten the best of me.. But im hoping soon to use or start a UA-cam channel singing, as a means to somehow still perform and get myself feeling more confident!
One last thing comment is that my animals/ pets have always been a source of solace for me
When the world is not understanding my introvertness!!!
At times being an introvert in this world is a struggle... but trying to make the best of it and and coping better. Will definitely look into your book suggestion. Thanks for the great video and info...
Debbie
What a great Comment Debbie, thank you! Go for it with the singing!!! Gifts, like a beautiful singing voice, that are not used, can cause all sorts of suffering. We are all creative and humans need to use their creativity. Funny, I have many clients that are introverts or who have social anxiety, they can still perform. They tell me it's because it's not really them on stage that people are looking at. Interesting right? xoox Q
The Grateful Therapist very interesting, I’ve felt that my whole life!!! The singing is like another body part for me...!! If i couldn’t sing...I don’t know what I would do. And it is like having another person inside you, an without it... life isn’t worth living ( dramatic licensing here LoL) I do have a lot of stress not using it at the moment. But trying to make the best of it.
Is thinking about all the interactions you've had for the day a normal introvert thing i take a lot of time to process all the interaction ive had
I’m a total introvert but used to be an extrovert . Not sure why it changed
I think a lot of us get more comfortable being with ourselves as we age. If you are healthy and growing and learning, you begin to like your own company more. That was my experience anyway. Thanks
I'm definitely an introvert. Relationships are difficult for me, especially meeting someone. What does an introvert do with this topic, any advice would be helpful.
Introvert! Great video. Totally need the recharge. 😊
I am so with you Nicole!!! I had to have a convo with a friend just yesterday about my introvert needs. You might like the boundaries video too. Quenby
I’m definitely an introvert! I hated being called shy in my teens- I just didn’t want to talk! Lol!
I love this comment DacieMay!!! You just didn't want to talk! I know, I know. Myself, I am very talkative around people but then I need to recover. Thank you so much for commenting. Quenby
I loose appetite when we have to host a lot of people
Your Cali. accent is so broad. (Awesome vid., by the way.)
Hey, thanks! I am from Boston, but lived in CA for 20 years now.
💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much
Definitely an introvert. However, I'm surprised that less than half of the population are introverts, possibly only a quarter. Does this mean most or more people are extroverts or is there another type?
Hi Marion, Me Too!! Most people are somewhere on the continuum. There is also something called an ambivert. Thank you for your comment as I grow my new channel! Quenby
Can I be an introvert with social anxiety?
absolutely. Many introverts have social anxiety, and some just have a preference not to be in groups or social settings. If it' anxiety it can be treated in therapy, if it's introversion, it's a temperment or personality style and does not need tx. Thanks Quenby
I feel like the misunderstanding by others of introversion is one CAUSE of my social anxiety. I’m perfectly fine and optimistic and enjoy others’ company on a small scale and then others’ judgements about my introverted qualities derail me and make me nervous in social settings where I was otherwise fine.
