I highly highly recommend anyone who is suffering from these horrible panic attacks to watch this video, i promise you it WILL help you tremendously.

No contact for over thirteen years since figuring out how damaged my mother is. It mentally set me up to be a people pleasing co dependent. Had to relearn how to he a person.

Stop blaming everyone else.. get off youtube and get on with your life.

Right on point, I just discovered my anxiety start with my fast heartbeats, so last time it happened I just tried to control it with a deep breath and that made my anxiety level to go down

❤

I've learned to block her out, but took many years to do so.

You hit the nail on the head with my mom !!

If possible, stay away from them.

Very Interesting! That is true! How our body reacts to our thought!. Observing our thoughts makes us so aware! Thank you so much!

I get a headache if I come across a negative person and it really hits me hard.

Wow, I just stumbled upon this video. You make so much sense, and you've helped me start to work on this! Thank you! I'm going to check out your other videos.

No. Not triggered because im healed and if you're not healed you cant truly help another. You can feel FOR someone but if you feel WITH them youre emotionly dysregulated

I’m checking out the webinar at the end of the video

I admit I love 💕 animals such as dogs and cats 🐱 than human beings since I’ve always been misunderstood and mistreated by human beings of all races and genders.

How do you know my Mom. My sister shared this with me. We have really been opening up about this as adults.

I catastrophize about people not liking me since I was bullied and ostracized as a child 30 years ago.

1:40-exactly true. Flood of tortuous thoughts 💭

I’m definitely guilty of catastrophizing! 100%

My father drinks all the time and it really increases my anxiety

I’m a obsessive ruminator involving my past. I also suffer from depression & anxiety. On meds for over 30 yrs 🙁

As a child, I wished that I couldn't see other peoples feelings. I learned to ask myself, 'who's problem is this? 'That alone has made a huge difference in my energy level.

My twin daughter, who is now 19, can not stand to see or hear any person or animal harmed in any way. When she was a child she could not watch cartoons where a character was hurt. She would cover her face or run and hide. Now, as an adult she can not deal with seeing or hearing about anything negative about people or animals. It causes her great anxiety. Her twin sister passed away from suicide and she seen spirits all the time. So we have been to psychologists, therapists, and grief counseling. She's intelligent, friendly, yet introverted and talented. But how will she function in life when she can not cope with negative news concerning others? Any advice would greatly help. ❤

I had CBT, and it worked, I have been panic free for 15 years, then the last 6 months they have come back worse than before, and are deffo more physical this time around. Doctor has given me beta blockers this time. THEY ARE HORRIBLE, and leave me exhausted.

Thank you so much. I happened upon your video and it was a lifesaver! ❤

You speak with so much clarity, logic and calm in your voice. I have done therapies in the past, but I'm still stuck with many persisting issues while I can't escape challenging situations. OK, a "challenging situation" is likely a cognitive distortion. Got it. Wait a sec, is this true or false positivity? I guess it could be both. I would think if our safety is critical, we can't afford the false positivity. Otherwise, I can only see the benefits. Thank you so much.

i was told i have an old soul and i attract people to me .people come to me wanting me to hear them. i also get this feeling deep in my gut when something is about to happen. some times something may happen that day or a few days later. can you tell me what this all is.

U help a lot see I’m a 14 year old and I have separation anxiety And some depression and I’m used to stay home like if we get a whole week off of school I’m so used to be staying at home So when we go back from school after a week off my anxiety Kicks in and some times my head hurts and my leg and my ribs I know it’s my anxiety kicking In

This was so good! Thank you, I recently changed jobs after many years and am kinda proud of the way I handled it. When my supervisor said things about me that I knew were lies, I reminded myself that I was leaving anyway and that this was not an argument that I needed to 'win'.

its working .... phuuuuuuu ... so grateful .... thanks 🙏

My grandchildren are suffering from a covert narcissistic mother. They are 6 and 10 years old. The 10 year old gets blamed for everything. The mental abuse is awful. What can I do?

I tried to meditate this time for the first time in 3 years and normally I would be so unsatisfied with the results. But now I imagined myself salty and all wet near the beach and feel that I accomplished something with my imagination. Although I couldn't meditate for 10 minutes. But I'll try harder tomorrow.

thank you for this video. I think I'm going to do some beginner meditation now. I really want to diffuse my anxiety. I have OCD and it hijacks my thoughts all the time. I would really be so happy with an anxiety therapy video for OCD patients like me.

Thank you 😊

Yes, This is why you should NEVER trust dog owners 16:34

Thank you so much for giving us this information for FREE! What a gift. Thank you! I have done EMDR many times in the distant past with at least 3 different providers. I have also done hypnosis at 3 different points in my life. I am still dealing with some things (phobias) that have come and gone over the years and need to desensitize myself. Also, I have tried to find therapists but many don’t return calls or their wait list is so long they don’t even add to it. It can be very dishearte Can’t wait to try the self administered EMDR! Again, my heart felt thank you ❤ ning.

IT WAS beautiful!

Great stuff and a real lifesaver! thanks.

Just learned im codependent... it took decades... wasted my whole life... it attracts crappy jobs , housing , relationships but you don't know why because you really try but every obstacle you can and can't imagine. Now I know how I got where I am.

Hi Dr. Heffeman, thank you very much for your videos on EMDR. Your knowledge and practice is very helpful. I live in Kiev, Ukraine and I have a Rehabilitation center for injured soldiers. Mental health is needed and I have been studying about EMDR therapy. Do you have any videos explaining specifically using EMDR for soldiers?

Excellent. I love that you incorporate Buddhism-I’m just starting- mindfulness and loving kindness are a great deal of help despite my resistance. Thank you 🙏

What if 90% issues are caused by one partner? Why will the other take higher responsibility?

My father is narcissistic, and it destroyed our whole family, including my own life.

Thank you Barbara ❤❤❤

Very helpful as always, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤
