Julia is awesome in providing real world solutions. What she is talking about could be likened to "slaying the dragon" ; ie facing your fears. As she pointed out in a diferrent video, you are going to have anxiety whether you try to overcome it or not. Might as well try to overcome it. She said to ask what if questions if fear questions pop into your mind. This frames your thinking as HOW can I do it, instead of I CANT do it. It worked for me. Some advice I might pass along though:Keep a close eye on your focus. I was so "motivated" I sometimes lost track of what I was doing lol. Check yourself often. Try it though. It worked!
Hi Julia, you're so right. I used to be so terribly shy, I dreaded going to any social event because I'd never know what to say to people. So my anxiety arose from a fear of being overwhelmed and unable to cope. I'm registering for your class immediately!
I loved the way you explained this so clearly and really laid out the causes of anxiety, and the ways we can intervene and lessen its impact. Thanks so much for all the amazing teaching you are doing here on UA-cam! You are appreciated!
ive been struggling with Health Anxiety for 3 years now and ive been to Therapy and councillors but none have helped.. for the first time in 3 years somethings made sense as you were speaking! heading to sign up now i think i may have been looking for you for a while ❤❤
It's like driving a car and worrying you'll get into an accident. You can't really worry that you'll follow all the traffic signals and everything because someone can hit you even though if you did everything you're supposed to And then Being confident in yourself that if you do get into an accident, you'll be okay because you've made it this far in life and this won't hinder your growth. Good luck and happy healing to everyone!
i watched your videos to see if I could help out a loved one and in the process have actually found out of why i am always getting help back with things that I am the one that has benefited immensely and have been able to understand why i feel the way i do and your videos have helped me see that not everyone is "that way" that i have some things that i need to be aware of and i need to build my arsenal of tools and mental weapons against something i have been experiencing since i was 12 yrs old. Literally didnt even know i needed theses for myself but I AM THANKFUL for your time and energy in producing such good quality no BS videos cause they have helped me. i have a question i get physically ill when i have panic/anxiety attacks. and need to rush to the bathroom nobody really talks about that is it common?
Thanks for sharing this ! Yes , indeed ! Going out anywhere seemed to trigger a lot of anxiety. ..I'd wake at 2 am and be unable to go back to sleep .... then feel extremely tired and sleepy when it was time to wake up . Once I did wake up , I had to use the toilet on numerous occasions before I left home . A big event coming up for me , like my teaching practicals for my final lessons , gave me a bad bout of diarrhoea ! I wish I had the kind of help you're providing us now , when I needed it most ... over 50 years ago ! I'm almost 72 and many thanks from India .
I already know what my anxiety is triggered by, and it helps to knkw and other people involved to know that the things they do make you feel worse. Its a good way to get better
Thank you for this. I have GAD and I have this horrible fear of sharp things for so long. My body sores a lot when I am really anxious and I wish I could get out of this situation or at least to cope better with it. Actually I can't take any therapy here in my country because professionals in this area charge a lot for therapy and I really can't afford it for the moment but I will continue fighting.Thanks so much for your videos.
I'm aspiring to be a musician but anxiety always makes me feel way too scared to deal with people if I were to get somewhere. I always have this constant fear of being judged or looking stupid because I tend to trip over my sentences or don't know what to say next due to this horrible illness.. I've made people cry and mind blown with the stuff I do, but there's always that little demon in the back of my head telling me "what if this" or "what if that"... "what if you fail and your family and friends judge you for having such a silly asperation.." "what if you make yourself look stupid" "why are you so dumb".... it's horrible! And I'm almost at my breaking point if something doesn't change.. anyway, the tips you supplied in this video are helping me calm down about my anxiety, but I feel like it'll always be there in the back of my mind.
Beerdrinkerunion if you're watching this and you THINK you have anxiety...you have anxiety and it's legit. I think doubting yourself and thinking you're just crazy (as far as anxiety symptoms) just makes it worse. Love your handle, btw
Hello Julia. Thanks for all that you are doing. How you present these ideas are very helpful. I'm curious if you might be willing to put content together about anger? It would be helpful for many people I believe.
I have an intense, irrational fear of ghosts and it's one of the reasons why I feel even more anxious at night. Mostly i don't know how to cope with it and I'm usually scared about the fact that some ghost is gonna attack me. What should I do?
I like your suggestions. Just 2 buggers. Totally unresourceful. Put them back where they rightly belong. Slay those thoughts with our Excalibur! Thanks for the video!
Would a fear be when someone is in a room, kids are running around and they get anxious. I am thinking of someone and i think their childhood i.e. being yelled at, triggers this fear so they are anxious of someone yelling? Fear of yelling from kids not "behaving"... even tho kids are fine and just being kids! But they are "overreacting with anxiety?" Idk.
I love the fact you talk about overcoming anxiety and not just coping! It's possible!!!
It absolutely is possible to overcome our biggest struggles with anxiety - without question!

I'm in and so excited. Your anxiety videos have been such a life saver for me. thank you for continuing to create videos.
Absolutely my pleasure Bridget. It's support like this that keeps me going!
I loved the way you explained this so clearly and really laid out the causes of anxiety, and the ways we can intervene and lessen its impact. Thanks so much for all the amazing teaching you are doing here on UA-cam! You are appreciated!
Love your videos, helping many people including myself. I do notice your short breathing, making me anxious!
ive been struggling with Health Anxiety for 3 years now and ive been to Therapy and councillors but none have helped.. for the first time in 3 years somethings made sense as you were speaking! heading to sign up now i think i may have been looking for you for a while ❤❤
Moey, that really means a lot to me. I'm so grateful you've found this helpful.
Met Fox have you tried exercise? Meditation? Deep breathing? Just some ideas...xanax helps...lol. but seriously, it does
I've had health anxiety my whole life, it is horrible, I feel your pain.
Have hope Met Fox. You are not alone in being let down by the "professionals".
It's like driving a car and worrying you'll get into an accident.
You can't really worry that you'll follow all the traffic signals and everything because someone can hit you even though if you did everything you're supposed to
And then
Being confident in yourself that if you do get into an accident, you'll be okay because you've made it this far in life and this won't hinder your growth.
Good luck and happy healing to everyone!
Thanks for sharing !
I never drove , even though I managed to obtain a license. .. extreme anxiety held me back !
i watched your videos to see if I could help out a loved one and in the process have actually found out of why i am always getting help back with things that I am the one that has benefited immensely and have been able to understand why i feel the way i do and your videos have helped me see that not everyone is "that way" that i have some things that i need to be aware of and i need to build my arsenal of tools and mental weapons against something i have been experiencing since i was 12 yrs old.

Watching this again Julia and would be great if you had more videos on anxiety.
I already know what my anxiety is triggered by, and it helps to knkw and other people involved to know that the things they do make you feel worse. Its a good way to get better
I so agree with you because sometimes the things people do and or say flare up my anxiety
Thank you for this. I have GAD and I have this horrible fear of sharp things for so long.

You are not alone
Great tips! Anxiety is a tough thing to live with.
You ve nailed it with me. I work in a dangerous trade and I feel this all the time. I'm not sure if my anxiety is legit or not.
It probably is to a certain extent, but you mind is also likely playing some tricks on you. That anxiety sure is a bugger!!

Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway
Anxiety.... A lack of certainty
I can only do the best I can with what I have and what I know at any given moment ! And there aren't any certainties !
I have an intense, irrational fear of ghosts and it's one of the reasons why I feel even more anxious at night. Mostly i don't know how to cope with it and I'm usually scared about the fact that some ghost is gonna attack me. What should I do?
I have Generalized Anxiety my husband thinks he can heal me and he is just making things worst. He is my biggest trigger! What should I do?
In what way do he think he can heal you. And my auntie significant other was apart of her anxiety so it's possible.
I like your suggestions. Just 2 buggers. Totally unresourceful. Put them back where they rightly belong. Slay those thoughts with our Excalibur! Thanks for the video!
This is great information on how to control anxiety!
Finally joined your fb group!! Thank you for being a light to many!
So glad to have you Angie!

How do i deal with anxiety
speaking words of wisdom.
superb video
I'm here for the hair and smile
It's 5 a.m rn and I can't sleep
Thank you
Easy to say, hard to do. :)
E Tu Pompe?
One more video I just love! Do you offer Therapy via skype?
So glad to hear it! I do offer distance therapy, but only in Canada unfortunately.
just out of curiosity, how come you don't offer skype sessions outside of Canada?
Hi Jessica, the reason is because my therapist's license doesn't cross the border. I do offer life/anxiety coaching in the USA though.
How do we change our coping skills?? It's debilitating!
Can I pay you for a Skype session. ?
Good lord girl, you are good looking but please do something with your hair!
Thanks... and I love my hair - so what you see it what you get! #sorrrynotsorry
