Doctor Snipes, you are like a wise mother. I feel as if you know everything about my childhood and how to heal from the abuse and dysfunction of it. You explain everything so clearly in your videos and I value and treasure your wisdom and intelligence. I in my mid forties am learning so much about myself, relationships, and how to be a happier, mentally healthier person. Thank you for your gifts to the world! I tried to make a donation, but I kept getting an error message.

[kristyrobertson]

Dr. Snipes....you have helped me so much this past year after I went no contact with my narcissistic family. I sit and binge watch your videos like a student. I used your information to post on Facebook to help other people healing from trauma. I share your videos. I just wanted to sneak in here and say that. I think you're adorable. Thank you for doing what you do

[andersdatter]

I look at a lot of your videos to teach me things for my job, but I come to find that you help me learn a lot for myself. Not just for others. So, thank you for making this podcast.

[sylvie]

Love your work and appreciate that your delivery is calmer and more regulated as my nervous system is so traumatized that I am sensitive to anxiety in people's voices... and I can really take in your stuff now so I am really grateful... also I love how you are incarnating being a Woman!! Thank you for you and your great work!!!

[redxenomorph]

I love listening to your videos. They have been helping me through my separation with my husband that I am experiencing right now. CBT, DBT, co-dependency, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression topic videos. I listened to others too, but more so of the ones I mentioned above.

Please keep up the great work. 💟💟💟

Instead of others using my emotions against me, in this video you empower me to use my emotional messages to create good things for me as they can be pointers to what I need. EMPOWER is the big word here instead of pity, mock, use, dismiss, and degrade me for my emotions and, for that matter, vulnerability, which is used in a competitive culture.

Hi Dr. Snipes!!! Amazing video!!! Occasionally, my mom would say very negative things to me when I was eating lunch. I believe that it’s because of her own battles with depression/ eating disordered.

[CynthiaSchoenbauer]

Finding this video is very on-time for me tuning in and protecting my self physically. I have a fear that someone threatens my physical safety to get control over me emotionally and this is all "stuff" from the past as well as the present. I have a stalker and I need to stand up to him as I work to get my emotional and physical safety problem healed I did not feel physically safe as a child unless I was doing what my father wanted in service to him. Thank you for helping me get in touch with this as well as even helping me get to a place where I can finally start to address it.

[intrakitproductions]

I've experienced a lot of trauma... your videos help me 💯💯

[NatureHeadSupreme]

You deserve to be forever blessed, doc.

[Tammarrah]

So helpful, personally and professionally. Thank you.

DOC THANK YOU IM SO READY FOR YOUR NEXT LIVE ITS AMAZING

Hi Doctor Snipes. I would like to turn your attention to the mathematical formula, and offer an updated formula.
Current model: Hours x Intensity / total hours.
Revised Model: Hours + Intensity / 24hours
When 24hours is included, it covers the entire day.
Answer would be: 0.354

I understand there are lots of students watching you. It is important for the client to have the rules at which stage to input 1 or 4, to be explained very well with consistency like you have.

Thank you for the video, I have watched almost 10hours of your content, not including pausing to write down notes. And have made huge progress towards improving my mental health. Thank you so much once again!

[lawstsoul]

My purse is my rescue pack. There are things like legos from my son, a small stuffed animal from my daughtern a couple perfumes, headphones for music, candies, gum, bubbles, the list goes on and on. My friends call me their dopamine dealer because they know if they're stressed out there will probably be something in there that'll help.

[LeviBrich]

I am getting counselling at the moment here in NZ, its been really helpful. I think I would get tremendous value sitting with you going through some stuff. Your very insightful and I love the energy and passion you bring.

[heidijoseph]

Thank you for your clear and easy to understand videos. They are so informative and helpful. I don't always have the time to listen but the content is packed full of specific tools and reasons why we do what we do and how to be able to change.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge.

First time watching this and I am super grateful for you already ❤

[anthonysanchez]

You are the best, and I hope it feels good to know that you are helping so much. As someone that just can’t bring themself to discuss problems with someone personally, you are we have to turn to. Thank you for your good work. Only thing is, it’d be cool to have a playlist so that we can watch in a recommended order! Nevertheless, I plan on watching every video, as I need all of it. Thank you again❤

[allandubbon]

God, you’re amazing, I didn’t know doctors were this advanced in mental therapy .
I love you ❤
Thank you!
