Man, he’s basically giving advice that we should be paying hundreds of dollars an hour to hear. Love this man.

That's how I beat severe depression. I thought and processed every memory I could think of that could've caused it. Apologized to myself for things I couldn't have changed and let go of people that brought out the worst in me. Face it! I've never felt better. It's almost like a spiritual awakening, and it's freeing. It's so incredibly freeing.

I'm learning that some past events affected me more deeply than I could recognize at the time (because it wasn't safe to process in the moment). As I work through the residual undercurrents, I become more aware how much my life was shaped by "surviving." I'm so grateful for the mentoring & practical suggestions from Dr P. Such a Life Saver. This video is spot on.

It just struck me now people who hate this man actually needs him the most

I'm a paramedic and I have PTSD about a job I went to years ago. 4 month old baby with a skull fracture from an abusive father. This advice is so true and I now feel better equipped to handle this kind of situation again.

He’s a guide and a teacher just like Socrates, Plato, Aristotle or any of the Greats, but he is here right now 🤙

[jackflicker]

if you can't voluntarily bring it to mind, it's enormously helpful to keep it there after it's arrived—then write about it, or draw or paint about it, or play an instrument about it. The meaning and fulfillment you derive from this is indescribable.

For me exposure therapy is working. Abusive and neglectful relationship 3 years ago made me not trust ANYONE. Didnt even make new friends. Now I'm opening up more to people. Still not enough but I have the urge and want to open up more and trust people again. Early dating attempts failed to the point I'd get anxiety attacks. But now I'm slowly getting there more and more.

They say time heals everything. But it's not exactly true. Doing things heals everything. Progressing in life and facing your fears when you're ready.

Wow, such a life wisdom just here on youtube for the grab. This man deserves a statue!

[miiiiimiiiiiii]

i had tears in my eyes listening to this. i have some memories that aren't specifically good and they make me so stressed that i just completely block them off since it's the only thing i can do. i have never thought that'll I'll be able to find a solution but here it is, thank you Doc!

"Remembering him is the only way that I get to keep him with me, so I'll take the pain." .... Perfectly said.

Thank you from one grieving mother to another. God bless you.

[rosalindahernandez]

I thank God that I came across Jordan. He is a beautiful person who has helped me better understand my anxiety and depression.

[User]

I’ve officially adopted you as my inner father voice for all the advice I never got! Thank you for all you do!

[xjrisjfnfnr]

Thank you! This is currently going to save my life. 20 years of therapy never taught me this.

[josephhernandez]

The most real human being on this planet, thank you JP!

Actual psychology advice from the Professor. Nice.
My baby sister died when I was 2. I'm sure I am being an overprotective dad to my 3 daughters as a result.
My older brother is now a Consultant Paediatric Oncologist.

Man I’ve been dealing with just every bad memory, and it just plagues me every time. No matter how much I talk about it, I don’t feel like it gets any less painful. But I love the consolation that I’m not the only one that feels plagued by these, I’m glad there’s more than one way to move past those types of memories

[JEB]

I have only been listening to JP for a little bit, and the more I listen to him, the more I wished that I had heard of him earlier in my life. In my teens to be exact.
A lot of things he talks about, iv dealt with and endured through my own experiences in life growing up.
The battles and struggles, the uneasy and awkwardness of it all… fumbling through to find my path, my way in life.
And as cliché as it may sound, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and or nobody said life was easy…
The fact of the matter is…
I can only pin point it all down to one thing.. the reason that kept me driving thru, the reason that I am still alive…
Is “faith”!
For me, this is the absolute bottom line.
I simply…. Believe!
I trust in God that he lays the path ahead.
Like closing your eyes and leap off that cliff edge.. as Vulnerable as you can be.. and believing that he catches you!. 😊

Whatever works for you right?…
This works for me.
Whoever reads this.. don’t give up!

It's not a "big bad moment" that haunts me and brings me down. It's the tiny little one but a constant moment that tells me that I'm worthless no matter what I do.
