all of your answers in the comments to the exercise are making me cry with laughter 😆😭🤣

[VishalPatel-ytut]

Out of the many many years of self help videos and channels I've watched, you really have such a genuine sentiment to everything you deliver. Please don't change as time goes on. Your sincerity is what makes your channel so rare

[PretendCoding]

A quick note to my autistic brothers, sisters, and other literal thinkers: representing yourself at the best of your ability each day is good advice, but it's important to remember that your best changes each day, and not punish yourself because "yesterday I was so much better"

[WOLV]

1.- Water Faucet
2.- Dandelion
3.- Egipt Pyramid with bugs flying around 🥸

Hey man, just wanted to sincerely thank you for the knowledge your sharing in all of your videos. It’s been one of the things pushing me through a deep lullaby of self resentment lately. Both of our jobs entail the selfless pursuit of helping other people, and seeing you do that has been a reminder of my purpose as well, helping those in need. I’m slowly crawling out from the dark, thank you.

Charades! 🤗
1. Fridge from the side
2. Long haired person
3. Two tunnels under a volcano

[medots]

- A penguin with a weird beak
- A Stickman head with hair
- A mountain, two trees and fire works :D
Now that I've finished the video 🦦🐉🌧️ I'd like to once more thank you so much for the insights :) Putting in the effort to further improve our spawn points each day is definitely a delightful goal to thrive for. It's hard to keep it up consistently amidst the turbulence of the mind... But doing our best, no matter how small that might be, is crucial and enough. Best of wishes to us all in our life journeys :D

[SaporahLuna]

1. Fridge handle
2. Weird plant flower ( not quite dandelion)

Volcano with smoke!

🦦🐉🎵Thank you, Louis. Your presentations are well thought out, and i never feel like you’re forcing your opinions on me. I like your quiet voice as well. I am 71 yeas old, but still learning. You are a wonderful teacher.

[julybutterfly]

Ok fine, I'll go take a shower! I saw a profile of a bird, a flower, and two people about to walk up a mountain. "Continually represent yourself to the best of your ability, so you can wake up tomorrow with strength." Gosh, that's good! I like it. 🏖 beach emoji, I forget the other two already so here you go 🏝🩴I'll make it a beach theme lol

[aleksandarnikolov]

That's only if someone is willing to change.

Thank you for
This video. I was listening in real time as I did a workout. I slept in very late today, I’d been sleeping more than usual, so I think it’s because the holidays are hard. But what is in my control remains how I wish to show up. So it was really cool hearing, as I was reclaiming today, your words and the words which you heard from Ollie. Thank you for putting in all this time and sharing.

Weird faucet, lightbulb flower??, nuclear power stack

What you said after this segment reminded me of what I say about music. The music doesn't change, but you get different meaning from the same song as time and experience progresses, but it's always the same song, it's you who have changed.

[lovelylavendertea]

I hated CBT growing up. I never understood the whole “change one of your and it’ll change them all” until you explained it on a neurological level. I wish I was shown this in therapy instead of the way I was taught it. Thank you

[Bullebizzare]

Not only the things YOU did but also what your parents did. Now that i'm a mother i'm starting to involuntarily do some of the unhealthy stuff my mother AND dad used to do when we were growing up. It's completely new situations i've never experienced and my brain is like "how did mom react when she was in this situation? Let's do that, we're still alive, she kept us alive, so that must have been a good enough response she had (no)"

[realname]

1. A pipe sticking out of the wall
2. A shining lightbulb/A hairy tree
3. A volcano with smoke on both sides

[bryanamadeo]

1. Bird with a beak, close up frame, it faces left, eyes are unseen.
2. Semi blown out dandelion or a cardboard cutout for an insert
3. Volcano or duck (en face) with glowing eyes

[gavivimarte]

My perception of the exercise of the images was:
1. Mailbox
2. Dandelion
3. A mountain with fireworks on the sides

Gracias, gracias, gracias 🙏
