Have seen multiple psychologists. Not one has been so proactive, practical and structured as this lady.

[DenisaStancu]

I overcame it when I realised the power of intention. I also stopped my panic attacks. I share how.

[maximinoblas]

Better late than never 😌 I started watching now.

[DaiseyThomas-qnyk]

I got diagnosed with general anxiety when I was 17, I am 24 now my anxiety has had ups and downs recently it is gone up quite a bit and making my life harder especially socially. Funny thing is I am very happy person no matter my anxiety I always find a way to be happy and I love people

. I believe there are a lot of of reason for my anxiety

number reason I believe is my adhd which causes to be restless and zone out to most things and then in turn this causes excessive energy and restlessness (which is sometimes good in the gym) when I am zoning out and restless it is for me to get anxious

. 2 number small worries and obsessing over them(and this for many reasons)

3. Rejecting things and overnalzying. What is more fascinating is sometimes I get in states and moods where there is no anxiety and nothing can make feel anxious not even my worst fears and then sometimes it is everywhere

As usual, I really loved this video and found it very informative, very well structured and hollistic. I have seen so many therapists who very easily dismiss the basic needs as contributing and maintaining factors for many disorders, including anxiety, instead focusing on trauma of various sorts, working on it unsuccessfully. When someone doesn't sleep properly, doesn't eat properly, is less likely to be receptive to any therapeutic work so addressing basic needs is extremely important. I also love how you explain each symptom in terms of potential causing factors thus developing a very comprehensive image of the person's situation. I am really excited to watch your other videos.

[LarhondaNolden]

Really need this video information for me

[hendersondeshawn]

When working with clients, do we do these in any particular order?

[annporter]

Do you offer the 12-16 weeks program online ?

[davidodili]

I experience or belief my bp will either drop too low or too high which will result in tragic end. This makes me always Panic and most times skip my meds which later doesnt turn out good.

[Shadwmoses]
