How to Face Your Fears #shorts

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.

Yes! I'm kind of scared of cats since I didn't grow up around them, but I've been challenging myself lately by spending time at a cat shelter in my neighborhood. (:

Benefits of having a really good professional therapist as a mom? 😁👍😂. Something's getting through to these kiddos! ❤️👍 Either that or they've just got, you know, the wisdom of childhood!

[karenswartz]

You have a very “wise beyond her years” seven year old! It will serve her well in life.

The best part is that once she decided to be brave, she went for it and added fancy kicks. 🎉😂

Emma, I got up from my comfy couch and walked to the computer because I just had to say... you instilled some wisdom in that little cutie. :-) It's not a foreign concept to me, but I like the pithy way she said it. By the way, I can see a resemblance.
