If you're here, watching this video because you want to better yourself, I'm proud of you and you should be proud of yourself. It's not easy and maybe something pushed you to be here but whatever the reason, you're here and that's something to be proud of.

CBT saved my life. After that I became a CBT therapist. This way of living is so much powerful that my mission now is to let the whole world know, how CBT can heal our lives!

I got more out of this 12 minute video than I have seeing a therapist for the past 2 years! A million thankyous!!!

[karenweeks]

Yes, avoidance was definitely me with anxiety. 💕 I would avoid going places, making phone calls or even going outside.. Now I’m doing them all by working hard on myself.

Someone like this comment for me please, as I need to focus on making food, but I don’t want to forget to come back and watch this afterwards

She is VERY right about how depression works. Behavior -> Thoughts -> Feelings. Sit all day -> Blame yourself all night -> Feel like crap the other day. Repeat for an year and you become emotionally numb AF. I knew i had a problem, but one day i thought "Why my favorite music stopped making me feel good, i get no emotions like before from it (and im fan of Accept, Black Sabbath, Deep Purpple, Pink Floyd - stuff that you just cant feel emotionless towards)". That was the moment i realised that something is VERY VERY dangerously wrong with me. That happened today. Now looking for ways to "fix" that thick emotional "shield" of mine :|

My social anxiety was extreme and my therapist was trained in CBT. She also included exposure therapy and challenging automatic negative thoughts. I was cured in about seven sessions.

Anybody would be lucky to have you as their therapist!

I’ve been through CBT treatment for depression. The skills have helped me so much. I no longer get overwhelmed by emotions frequently.
Now I am watching my sister go through severe depression with very negative thoughts. Her behavior ends up pushing people away. She feels frightened and alone. I’m sending her this video to encourage her to get into CBT. Thank you so much for the video.

Wow the whole loosing job ending up on the street homeless are my exact thoughts. Wow glad I found this.

[kiki]

The cycle you mention makes so much sense. I get anxiety about my day. And then my anxiety immobilises me I get nothing done and I criticise myself. This was very helpful, thank you. I just subscribed to your channel.

[calebcoleccs]

Great Video! I agree, I hear too much advice on "changing my mindset", but once I started changing a lot of my behaviors, I was able to help control my anxiety much better.

[youjeltrevo]

I had never heard “move a muscle, change a thought.” That really makes a lot of sense.

[mattmetcalf]

I like that you include behaviors. Thats needed.

[donettesis]

This is EXACTLY me!!! I am going to really work on learning the strategies and techniques of CBT. You explain life so eloquently and it doesn't feel so intimidating.

[virginiaparker]

Yes. Makes complete sense. Here to learn to change. Was in a toxic relationship for a long time and negative thought pattern became habit. I felt trapped. Growing and learning now.

[milachyc]

I believe some people instead of spending money on expensive and material things, they need to pay for therapy. The world is so toxic and unhealthy, the bad apples spoil the good apples. I believe there are so many beautiful, kind souls in this world, that been broken by greedy, selfish, narcissistic people that have no boundaries, know no God, or how to love and are very ungrateful. The good souls instead of expanding their love in this Universe, choose to shut down and learn how to cover and protect themselves from these dark souls. How unfair?? Right. To all beautiful souls who been treated unfair by others, may you know peace and love from the Universe each day. And thank YOU for existing here on Earth. Anxiety and depression is also rooted from the fear that this world contains...we all should work on ourselves to live in Peace, love and understanding.

Thanks so much!
Sending love and support to anyone who is having a difficult time right now. Find a good therapist and seek out support from a friend. You can do this!
