Sir i am so grateful you are a blessed soul,your knowledge i have applied practically and my life is much better now my whole being prays for you and your loved ones i shall send you my details shortly thanks again
100%. Your words really moved me to make this video, and I'm grateful that this was helpful for you. Thank you so much for sending prayers. I'm a deeply spiritual person, and I genuinely appreciate that kind of energy. All the best to you always. Much peace!
Hey need help
Thank you Mr Ali, without your comment on this gentleman's video, I would have never found this tool in understanding my own inner demons.
Thank you
I hope you and your family are doing well, Mr Ali.
Peace.
I've struggled for years with my emotions, growing up in a family that had everyday verbal abuse it's followed me around my whole life. This video speaks to me but most importantly after finding these videos, and I'm currently reading Walking Through Anger has changed my life and opened so many doors to my inner self. Thank you for your kindness and please keep reaching out to people, so many of us don't always recognize that we're broken and we go on hurting others without consciousness. The book has opened my mind and my eyes. Super enlightening. I can honestly say I wish you and others much peace.
Yes, i do tell myself " im safe " when there isn't a threat. 🎉🎉
It TRULY does
Helps !! Over time!
😼🌞👍
I am a mental health therapist in private practice in Maine but from Canada. Your videos are very informational and well presented. I play your videos during sessions with clients and they are very helpful. Thank you and keep posting new videos please. :)
Thank you so much for making this video. When you said "it does not make you less than" really sat with me. For the last few months, this round of trying to deal with things that happened ten years ago, I have been feeling so much less than, and so frustrated with myself and all the what-ifs. It is difficult to talk to those who I want to because I don't want to burden them. I am going to therapy but in between sessions is difficult. Just learning about it helps me understand and freak out less and be less angry at myself when I can't control what is going on inside my head.
Hey Cassie, I'm so sorry to know that you had to go through something that impacted you like that. I'm grateful this video helped at all. I really want you to know that nothing you experience in terms of anxiety is your fault. The fact is that your brain was impacted by the experience you had, and even though I don't know what it was specifically, I'm confident that you didn't choose for it to happen. Please keep giving yourself compassion and be easy on yourself. You are NOT less than in any way! Please know I'm sending you all my best and tons of peace!
my brother, thank you.
keep the compassion, education, and peace coming !
100% my man! I appreciate your kind words for sure. Sending you all the best and much peace!
Thank you Dr. Conte, right on with PTSD treatment . I am struggling with it over 30 years now .
Got PTSD as a young man in
Iran 35 years ago after serious of events.
Living a good life in Denmark now.
As you mentioned.
Meditation is a great help.
Keeping distance in mind from the time and event ,being here and now helps.
having loved ones to keep the person here and now is a
blessing too.
I have gained much from your anger management videos too.
Once again I appreciate your work,Thank you .
Thank you so much for your kind words my brother. I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through something so terrible, but I'm grateful to hear that you are doing better now. I'm definitely sending you all my best and tons of peace!
I'm so thankful for Dr. Conte and his time . 🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is a GREAT video! You explain it so well. Praying for Ali and his health. Thank you again for this educational piece that will help people all over the world.
Thank you! And thanks for the prayers for Ali. I definitely hope this helps him and anyone who's struggling with PTSD. Thank you for your consistently kind words, your support, and your great energy. Sending you tons of appreciation and peace!
The best explanation of Ptsd !!!, it is a daily challenge of the symptoms.
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
Cant believe i saw the video 4 years ago !! 😲
Thank you for posting this video. It was so simple, and made so much sense. I was at Route 91 in Las Vegas on 10/1. It was the scariest night of my life & I am dealing with some of the aftermath (PTSD).
My goodness my thoughts are with you. I'm so sorry that you had to experience that. Sending you tons of peace!
Thank you so so much ❤️ I have PTSD and OCD. This is a great explanation of meditation.
In my personal experience and opinion, the way I alleviated some emotional concerns in terms of safety (In my case, specifically paranoia for my safety) was by having a dog.
I specifically have a German Malinois (German Shepherd / Belgian Malinois mix) and I have her for emotional support since I have a high-end production studio in a sketchy (criminal infested) area. Rather than constantly looking over my shoulders and sketching out or getting paranoid every time I'm there, my dog became my neutral zone to set me straight. All I do is look at her ears if I feel unsafe and that allows me to check myself. It also let's me know where I stand (whether or not my mind is playing games on me).
Oh, and the kicker is the 2 times that there were attempted conflicts, the perpetrators disappeared quicker than hoodini.
Jokingly, I'm so attached to this dog now at times I find myself growling with her to support her emotionals... And when she looks at me, I only wonder if she's looking at my ears as well ;)
Peaceful Regards,
Chris
My hubby has this 12 yr marine vet and firefighter 15 yrs : I finally understood this yr and now we are working on meds and understanding his triggers
Definitely sending you guys all the best and tons of peace!
Thank you for these videos they help a lot
I have watched this video twice. Was diagnosed 6 years ago. Family knows about it but doesn't understand nor do I think it matter s to them so I do not reach out to anyone about it. Thank you for the video
Tommy, I feel you. Same situation with my family. When I told my dad For the 1st time 3-4 Years after it happened, he started to laugh. Luckily it was over the phone but my 1st response was If you think this is funny and you are laughing I'm gonna punch you in the face. He tightened up and stopped laughing. I have sense move closer to my family To garner support because they always said I was living too far away. Honestly it has made no difference whatsoever And it's amazing to me People have their own PTSD Without formal diagnosis. So, I basically keep to myself I go to church when I can And I Lean on the Lord For everything that my family cannot provide and more. Please understand that I'm not a religious person but I do have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and without Him in my life I would be dead. I also have a wonderful psychologist who provides therapy for me pro bono once a month and I couldn't do without her either. I will pray for you brother ! God bless and seek Jesus Christ while He can still be found.
your video skits are really good. very infomative, and just interesting.
Doc, I've just started my journey to being a better person. I should say, my journey to getting back to the real me. Thank you for doing what you do!
I love the explanation of the fact of the symptoms of "hangry " ..👏👏😲
Thank you so much for this. I wish I had found this sooner, this has helped me so much. I have watched a bunch of your videos now and I just ordered one of your books.
Thank you I am going to try putting some or all of these methods you suggest into action. Just having the hope of a possible improvement and or solution is incredible. May you and yours have a beautifully blessed joyful and peaceful evening/day/life. You make a huge difference.
So much love and respect goes out to you Sir as you share your professional knowledge and person wisdom on all things psychological.
Thank you so much! I put my heart and soul into what I do, and I'm grateful it's helpful for you. Much peace!
Man this was a powerful message. God bless you all. Peace! ❤🙏
Very, very, very helpful.
Thank you! Sending you tons of peace!
Thanks mate ,Love from New Zealand
Technical and solid information - Thanks for the great content! Hope your weekend is going well! #MuchPeace to you and your fam
You are a top bloke - Greetings coming from the UK 🇬🇧
I am going to try the self-talk approach when I feel anxious. It sounds very feasible as a cognitive technique solidly based on physiology. Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Such a huge help. God bless you abundantly! 💛
Oh and I was going to say Qi Gong (chi gung) is great for this & anger mgt also. Plenty of videos on here on UA-cam abt it.
Loving your channel. Could you please also cover complex-ptsd?
I've had PTSD 21 years! From blunt force head trauma and near death at work! Thank you Dr. Conte. I'll share video! I'm cool. :)
I admire you for bringing this out more into light. THANK YOU .. 😀
How true!, a phsychological injury..
I'm incredibly grateful to have found your videos.
Thank you SO much Wendi! Thank you for all your kind comments. I would love and genuinely appreciate if you could share my channel with others. I would really like to help as many people as possible. Sending you all my best and tons of peace (and tremendous gratitude, too)! :)
I just now saw your comment, im sorry !! Ive sent your videos to friends & i will definitely send your videos to more friends & boyfriend, a healthy relationship. 😊
I Love your SIMPLe parenting videos too!!! 😮😮
So..sometimes I get startled and my reflex is a defensive fighting posture, I see it as unreasonable and embarrassing. I'm in therapy for an OSI PTSD . Idk where I'm going with this. But this video is great. Thanks. I appreciate ya man.
This Works 👍🏼

Thank you for your good works. I appreciate your words and your understanding. Are there ways to use self-talk to help with other "injuries of the mind" like depression, anger, or anxiety? I would love to hear more about self-talk...
Thank you. Yes, definitely self-talk can help us with our depression, anger, and anxiety. Self-talk is often the root of what triggers how we feel (and when it's not the trigger, it at least exacerbates or ameliorates how we feel). Sending you all the best and much peace my brother.
Excellent video! I just endured two bad earthquakes in Mexico City and have been on edge since. Great strategies, thank you so much!
Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope you and everyone around you is okay. Sending you all the best and tons of peace!
Dr. Christian Conte thanks so much! I'm definitely following all your videos now :-) you're like the Rock for the mind!
Lol. Thank you!
I was a victim of a crime back in 1995 if October 21.. I myself deals with the ugly scar that’s left on the right side of my face!! That night it took away me!! It’s like a part of me is missing and I just don’t know to get it back!!
Thank you for this video. I've been through some tough times in my life and have survived. Have been robbed and assaulted but luckily not killed. I'm having trouble dealing with people who are NPD, I don't know how to handle these people and why do I attract these kind of people. They make me angry and cause a lot of emotional pain to me. Please make a video on NPD - Narcistic Personality Disorder and how to handle this, thank you.
First, my goodness does my heart go out to you for all you've experienced. Second, I'm hopeful you have someone to talk to (a counselor, social worker, psychologist, etc) around all you've gone through. And third, that's a great idea for a future video. Thank you. Definitely sending you all my best and tons of peace!
Hi there Dr Conte, I've never been to a counsellor or any professional help at all, just support from my family (parents and brother). In the beginning it was tough but with time was able to carry on.I'm not sure, but my brain might have supressed this emotion.I remember I used to have panic attacks, night sweats and just freeze when I'm around strange people. I know I have become very anti social and don't like to be around people, keep to myself. I like my own company. Then I met this man and we started dating and now I'm in this mad relationship and I want out, but he won't leave me and has been able to clean me of my finances. I've come to a point if I should just call it quits and end my life, but with meditation came to a conclusion - that no man or money it worth me taking my life. So I'll have to fight this, but I get very angry and it consumes me for being in this mad situation and have listened to your anger management videos and that has helped me box my thoughts correctly. As to the debts this is a little complicated as it's all in my name and I have to pay it up. Tomorrow I'm having a job evaluation with my employer and ask for a raise to see if they can help me, let's see what happens. I refuse to let these things get me down, as I have survived before. God bless and peace to you too.
Thank yiu so much!
Quick question. Let's say two people are in a relationship, some trauma occurs where one person wrong the other verbally and it was very traumatic for the other individual. Then the relationship dissolved. Then let's say five years later the relationship rekindles. Let's say the one individual still has lingering PTSD but both of these individuals love each other so greatly that they want to work through this PTSD. What the best course of action be to use couples therapy to move through this together or would the best course of action should be to get individual therapy to move through it as individuals or would mixing the two courses of action be the best do couples therapy and individual therapy. Asking for myself. I was the cause of PTSD for my partner in our relationship years ago. We have reunited and we wish to move past this. Is it even possible to do? Can't wait to hear your response really looking forward to it as we are in need of some advice
I am curious to know if a failed relationship with kids involved can cause ptsd or is it something else. When I get in a relationship and an argument arise I automatically get anxiety that I have another failed relationship or sometimes flee a relationship to avoid being let down. Not a good thing. Like I always have one foot outside the door when it comes to relationships.
Ptsd does not have to be a near death experience. Any trauma does have its Ptsd consequence. The severity of the trauma, of course, determines the severity of the ptsd
Shlomo Cohen 100% you’re absolutely right. I’m sorry, I thought I said that in this video. You are 100% right though: PTSD is any traumatic event (including even the perception of any event) that involves death, near death, serious injury, or even threat of serious injury. Thank you so much for watching. Sending you all the best and tons of peace!
Can PTSD be accumulative? Or maybe it's not just one particular event, but a series of events? And some of those events not even something that happens directly to the person, but having the knowledge of a tragedy that cause great grief and turmoil in the soul?
Who do you reach out to?
Theres a delay in the "hippo connection. 🤔 interesting!
PTSD not only effects you but your whole family. Understanding PTSD and TBI helps me understand but what do you do when your spouse is always feeling amygdala? Especially when thiers children involved?
Is cptsd and PTSD permanent?
I didnt understand I had ptsd until it was too late
How about gaslighting?
That's on my list to make a video about... But in the meantime, I just made a video called "Understanding relationships," and I think the keys in that one can be helpful around gaslighting (even though I don't specially talk about gaslighting in that one). Sending you much peace brother!
Thank you this was very helpful. I find my self talk escalates when triggered into fight or flight so this is already happening by default and practicing mindfulness of my surroundings and doing a threat assessment doesn’t always work. But this makes sense because it’s the thoughts in my head influencing the reaction. Even just with anxiety or hypervigilance, when I say “I am safe” it helps. It also makes me bring myself into the present moment. Along with that, it helps me notice if things in my environment in the present moment ARE part of while I feel so uncomfortable. Sometimes it IS my environment. That helps me not judge myself for how I am feeling and just tell myself “this is temporary, you will feel better when you can get out of this situation”. (When dealing with toxic people or environments that trigger me for real reasons - to tell me it’s not “safe” in terms of my health and well-being or risk factors. But for the reactions to noise and things that are not a real threat the self talk really helps and I will keep practicing as it aligns perfectly with the mindfulness and threat assessment my counselor is teaching me to do in nanosecond before I react.
I don't get it. I swear i don't. Dr. Conte should be world famous and the best known in his field. All those incompetent jackasses society promotes and loves is just more proof of how we are doomed !
