My parents coped with anxiety by screaming at me😅

Content description is a way to avoid the pitfalls of unhelpful & discriminatory trigger warnings. It is used as a way to segregate material deemed as bad; which is offensive the the story being told in the content. CSA is something held under this stigma-based bias which actively increases victim blame & shame & silencing of their voices. I have been campaigning for this for years 🙏🏻🌺💕

I like the bit about Freud not knowing how to satisfy women. Poor Martha 😒

I have some disagreements with Hillman over some things, like demonizing Western free democracy, free enterprise & capitalism etc.. compared to ruthless totalitarian Socialism r Marxism.. & the postmodern tyranny of the elites & corrupt academia.. sick woke Cancel Culture etc.. I think we need some perspective in our modern molly coddled West.. the exposure of antiSemitism in academia etc, ask Bari Weiss etc.. Hamas & the barbaric October 7 terririst attacks in Israel.. Welcome to the Kali Yuga,, the new Dark Age..

I've fallen through every crack possible , I was the scapegoat in a very narcissistic family , I loved to drawl when I was small , I heard my dad tell my mom that God even gives gifts to retarded children , I gave up all art work right then and there as I couldn't even have one validation of my worth. I'm 62 , I live in section eight apartment with severe heart and colitis conditions. I spent most of grade school day dreaming about ways of being accepted. I try to treat people decent but people avoid me like the plague , I think they see my masking as insincerity or see me struggling with social expectations. I live with my cat in a small rural area that is void of good therapist and Drs. I'm diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I feel completely hopeless , I'm lonely but also want left alone because I can't handle criticism , loud people , prefer low lighting. I'm not diagnosed but from research this fits exactly what I've been dealing with for 62 years . I'm glad to have an answer and most likely was targeted as a scapegoat for this reason. I'm a anxious mess but even this late in the game I now have hope , wearing a mask for so long is exhausting and simply isn't working for me I'm so sick of trying to be normal and have always known I was different my upbringing certainly added to the destress. My first memory of my dad was him intentionally burning me with a cigarette on the arm on purpose and it didn't improve from there. Thank you so much for getting this information out there. Guess I'll pick up that sketch book , paint and canvas again parents are both gone now , I also can pop children's stories off the top of my head but have never tried my art and creativity seriously from low self esteem. I apologize for a long rant but you have no idea how much this helps , I'm relieved with tears that I have been so misunderstood for so many years. You're work in invaluable for us and I'm so very grateful for it.

I'm autistic, and a big plus to COVID for me was that I could be alone without appearing odd. COVID gave me allowance to unjudged alone time.

great to see videos of Steve DeShazer.

Thank you; your video is very helpful !

Problem - so many often quite quality KZbin video's are now on mental health issues falling into the clinical range OCD, Health Anxiety, PTSD, Depression.....etc etc - why seek private therapy? This development has I suggest has caused a major effect on the private therapy/counselling sector. Maybe not so much in affluent areas - but this has caused me to re-think exactly whether to abandon attempting to develop private practice after taking fairly early retirement from MH and also Substance Misuse Social Work. Pity, but that is a fact. I am not in an affluent area of kent...so seriously thinking of just focusing on one of my other main interests. I know this has no relevance to the theme of this video.....

Love his energy. Also, lots of new therapies propose what he proposed decades ago as “new”, trying to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks-very clear.

Hope to hear more..

Loved this video. Very informative

I have been following SDS Thursdays since they started.The sessions are very accessible and the content is always interesting and relevant.

Hi Tony and Michelle, I have vert recently been diagnosed with moderate High Functioning Autism and moderate ADHD - combined type at 50. What can it mean for my future when I've never been encouraged to reach my potential or use my special interests and gifts to be successful. I don’t know where to go from here. I feel cheated of the last 50 years of my life and I have had so much bullying and CPTSD in my life, which I can never get back.

Why? I am well over retirement age, didn't manage to register with hoc, coming from South Africa.

Why isn’t my empathy reciprocated,why am I alone. Why does society not give a flying f#%k about people like me.

I wish Tony and Michelle would stop promoting the stereotype that people on the spectrum are sexless eunuchs. It plays into the stereotype that people with disabilities are "eternal children" that should not be allowed to experience physical intimacy or reproduce.

7pm on Thursdays can be tricky. Apologies. Preparing ground work for this course😊

Andrew Reeves is a great teacher. Thank you for inviting him.

I'am currently undidiagianondes, but I resonenate especialla with dr. Garnett. My Autism makes is difficult to inertact with humans, and I play always a role, I don't know who I am, but considering my autistic strength make me hopeful for the future

Awesome

Awesome!

Could not log on live for the depression for 2 days course, - no Internet. Moving and chaos! This update is very interesting and tempting.

Ooh! Good stuff!!! BTW... Allergies aren't specifically caused by dysregulation. But.... Chronic stress tends to cause the immune system to begin acting wonky. And in severe prolonged stress, things like asthma and allergies can get worse. But in general, a person must possess underlying genetics for the disease. Besides the immune system, chronic stress can cause many, many diseases with a wide variety of underlying genetics to happen. So, there's more than allergies that can get worse.

Do these guys offer counseling?

Will there be another class?

I find in my life, if I could find someone who can understand me, I know I could learn to spell n write. I know I can talk with others about many different subjects, with out schooling, I'll see many eyes browse lift up, I see things in many different ways, so if I explain what I see , there's a eye opening for others. This makes me smile.

Made me laugh, especially the 'kill yourself bit,' my assessment results were so negative.

Was connected fine, but sudden disruption to my zoom connection...apologies. Looking forward to new course. A good book around these issues is called "How to be Miserable - 40 strategies you already use" R. Patterson, New Harbinger 2016. Strongly based on the cognitive distortions, but also health life style, etc.

Deb Dana has the most direct explanation of Poly Vagal Theory. Love her work!

I too have experienced much trauma beginning in the womb. At 65 and several years healing work and study I am now exploring polyvagal theory and the exercises to calm and understand mine. Just listening to Deb has a VERY calming effect. 💖

Thank you Dr Tony and Dr Garnett...for the amazing amount of work you have done and continue to do ...your talks are life savior for so many. As a parent of teen with Aspergers and as a mental health professional dealing with patients on the spectrum... Your patience , your humor and and enthusiasm Dr Tony is truly infectious... Thank you and Warm regards 🙏

Excellent exercise. Thanks.

Really useful, thank you.

Excellent, thank you!

Very valuable information, many thanks 🙏🏻 ❤

I m 63 years old and feel like an aspie that only got the learning disability’s sensory issues. Not seeing the gifts. Not great at anything. Been married 36 years had a meltdown for a multitude of reasons and changes that have happened in my house. Biggest, my daughter and her new baby moved in. I never get the quiet time I’ve had before. My house was my refuge. Feeling desperate.

Yes. That’s why I dropped psychology from my requirements years ago in college. The only part I wrote and studied was Gestalt. Jung was not regarded as viable fodder to munch on in those days.

Thank you!

It's pretty ironic that the company that produced this video no longer offers it on their website, but have hundreds of training videos of just the kind of reductive, soulless, cognitive-based psychology that Hillman despised.

I was just wondering what being "not quite right" actually meant! Fascinating summation.

Great man.

Plus not being able to do our activities that we rely on to have a meaningful life

I learned nothing

I am puzzled as how Ray describes anger. On the one hand he argues there are not enough thinkers taking about anger as positive emotion. On the other hand he describes anger as "negative" emotion. I think either label is not helpful.
