    We have to examine our patterns that leave us feeling stuck in our emotions. So let’s talk about eight reasons why people get mental or emotional blocks and why they’re unable to process through some emotions or memories. And, of course, we’ll discuss what you can do about it.
    You can learn to remove mental blocks by processing through them carefully and getting help to move through them and work past them.

    In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.
    And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love www.churchofjesuschrist.org/c...

      I agree too, your work is so valuable. From the few paid therapists and the NHS therapy I've accessed over the last 6 years, no one has given the understanding of what is going on inside me like you do. I've always found talking about emotions and experiences so difficult, that I didn't think it was ever going to work, I felt I was reliving the experience, retraumatised each time. What you give is really powerful to help realise the blocks and clogs in the system. This nutshell is finally feeling ready to open! I've not gone through your videos from the beginning but based on those I've watched I feel encouraged to begin the journey. 💕 Truly grateful

    3)Avoiding your emotions can hurt you (gotta figure out what to do with them)
    4)Nervous system hyperarousal (6 steps to process).Train your body to be calmer so that you can process your emotions
    5)core beliefs (subconscious labeling)
    6) blame mode or victim mode(forgiveness, boundaries)
    7) worry part of the brain vs solving part of the brain
    8)brain differences

    This CD is very calming ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq the first meditation focuses on breathing, the second guides you through the Buddhist metta bhavana--loving kindness to all, and the third is a meditation to be used when walking. him is originally from Scotland, so there is a little accent to his voice, but it is very soothing and not at all distracting. If you are a beginner to meditation, this CD will walk you through all the steps of relaxing and breathing as well as sending out the positive thoughts of love and kindness that will be returned to you. We have several CD's, but this one is a favorite that we choose most often.

    Avoidance = anxiety is the opposite of my experience. For example, I developed a phone phobia after working in a debt recovery call centre as a teenager. Trying to push through calls made it worse. I implemented a policy of "I don't do phones" and insisted on text-only communication for a few years. After a few years, it was like I'd forgotten what it was about calls that scared me and was able to start doing them again. Same with public speaking: that phobia got worse and worse while at uni, but a few years later I volunteered to speak publicly because I couldn't remember what was scary about it.

    These videos are so invaluable. I've been dealing with an intense anxiety relapse since June, and it took until this week to realize I've plateaued and day-to-day stressors overwhelm me so much because I try to fill my time with so much avoidance. I try to keep busy and a schedule with WFH, making sure I workout during the day, etc., but never sit down, identify my emotions, and just keep sputtering in this cycle. This causes me to feel perpetually anxious, and constantly reflexive. I've always been bad at labeling my emotions since pre-teen traumatic factors, but I'm so glad this is something I can actively now work on.

    Thank you sincerely for these videos. AS someone with limited insurance, it has been very hard finding a therapist for CPTSD. Your voice and aura are so comforting. I feel safe listening to you. I have a rumination about 27 years in an abusive marriage. I have accepted my own lack of skills in the marriage, and I wish him a healthy life because he is the father of our children. What I can't seem to process is the 27 years I "lost". He had a double life, chronic liar and cheater and had numerous affairs (girlfriends) locally and in other states. I can't get past the feeling that my whole life with him was a lie, and that I was married to a stranger for all those years, like even though I was there, the life was a total lie, that there was no relationship. I keep going back to mourning alll those years I lost. So many "traumatic events" to process, and that make no sense. I have to accept that, yes, I will never make sense of these events.

    I came from a family that never resolved issues and left it like running from an emotional explosion, every man for themselves, too messed up to be able to help the others. So to me an argument was always a horrible thing to avoid. Victims blaming and judging to the point that even hearing my name was fear of more pain to come. So to say there is a lot of unresolved issues and loose ends would be an understatement. It is like not being able to function if everything is not going well as it should, with extreme reactions, worries, doubts and fears. So I have been needing this stuff of yours Emma, but have been avoiding doing so... thank you. Being overwhelmed with too much information or too much emotion from being triggered has hindered me from being me. Yet if I have a clear head I can help others see solutions.

    Oh this is so good. I've seen that ruminating endless loop in myself and others. I discovered endlessly listening is not helpful to the other person when they are so stuck.

    Thank you this was really helpful especially the part about writing things down and going through the solutions. My neurodiverse brain loved this idea and I hate writing things down but a table with all the problems and possible solutions sounds really good. I'll be rewatching this again and going through all the points.

    I love your analogies! It really helps to understand things in a tangible way! Such practical advice - to calm your body when emotions get intense. I'm 46 and I still don't think I've learned this skill. It's about being consciously aware and intentional in the moment. All of this, again, was so helpful and interesting!

    Holy hell I'm 37 years old and I just finally heard what I needed to here...for the first time. I can't even think what to say right now. Thank you ...I think. I hope I get through this. I've listened to Matè, even Peterson and lots of podcasts but I couldn't hear something...it still didn't make sense to me. That's the best thing I can think of to say other than just thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I hope this helps. I'm hoping. By the way I'm 37 and I'm a gay guy. So it would appear us Drama Queens are very VERY MUCH still a thing ;) Thank you for this.
