Absolutely! I’ve got over 350 free videos on my KZbin channel about a variety of mental health topics. Did you have an area in particular you wanted to focus on first? If not, this video on 20 positive affirmation to cope with morning anxiety is usually a favorite- you can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIuwfGehaJ2CY9ksi=p6a4AhEnrJSNp3LN

@@CharizardChad oh no- where are you feeling stuck?

Best of luck to you! And if she refuses or calls you crazy, you've got LOTS of other options besides the one you mentioned 😉 One thing I remind everyone is the teen years don't last forever, and at some point you'll be in a position to obtain your own therapist without parent permission if they're not receptive now. Plus there are crisis lines, self-help resources (like the free videos on this channel), and other supportive helpers like school counselors. While they don't replace therapy, they can be excellent supports along the way. You got this!!

@@mallorygrimste GREAT : D thank u so much ❤️ i'll update hehe

so sorry you're struggling with this. Have you checked out my video "how to talk to your parents about your self harm (+ get help)" - it may help you talk about it together. Here's the link if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jV6VfIOomrZ_a6c

so sorry you're struggling with that- glad you're getting help and taking care of your mental health 🫶 I know it can be difficult to talk about that, even with your therapist, so I've got a great video on that if you're interested. It's called "How to tell your therapist when you feel suicidal (+ get help!)" and here's the link to watch it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZKTlGucfrKBjdU

I don't have a separation anxiety at night video, but this oldie may be helpful: "5 Ways to Control Anxiety Attacks Before Bedtime (WOW!)" kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWqm3Vmh6eijdU *it's one of my very first videos so please forgive the lighting/audio quality 🫶

So glad you found this helpful 💕 which strategy are you trying first?

glamorization of harmful behaviors is a major struggle. glad you're aware of the differences and hope your healing journey is going well 🌸

so glad you found this meditation helpful - thank you for sharing :) Which affirmation is feeling most useful for you?

oh no! I hope your parents don't want you to die. 💕

well i want to work out if they want me dead or just not around "out of sight" which is pretty much same thing

You're so welcome! 🫶

Glad it was helpful! What’s one coping skill on your coping ahead plan?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Isn’t therapy great when you vibe with your therapist? 💛

Thanks - honestly I don’t remember why I chose the song because I made the video many moons ago 🌸

Hope you’re having moments of joy, too 🌟

@@mallorygrimste it happens again I'm so inconsistent

Thanks so much for this feedback :) I just rewatched to see what you meant and I think you may have misheard my recommendation about using hot chocolate as a self-soothing strategy. In the video I said I like to soothe with hot cocoa, and then suggested making your self-soothing drink a healthy one (meaning non-alcoholic/substance). Thanks again for the clarification and I hope these tips help your clients, too.

Thank you so much and I love your tip about the pillow case! Extra layers really help us be intentional and break those habits - glad you found the tips helpful 🫶

sounds like you're going through a lot and I'm so glad you're wanting to talk to your parents. I have a video that walks you through how to do this right here: "Feeling DEPRESSED!? Here’s How to Tell Your Parents {and Get Help!}" kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYWwmIKModGmbtU

It’s true that a lot of psychotherapy strategies that have the most impact tend to be the simplest. I’m glad you’re finding they’re teaching children these skills because that certainly wasn’t the case when I was kiddo. Seems you got a headstart on many of these skills which is amazing - I personally haven’t found that to be the case for many people which is probably why you consider it “trash” but others find it useful. I never even learned these skills until after I completed my MSW - guess we are all learning at different paces and I hope you enjoy your journey 🌺

I wish I could offer personalized advice on here but social media can’t take the place of psychotherapy. I would start with connecting with your caregivers or school counselor and asking them for help. Sending you lots of healing. Also do you mind removing your age from this comment? We don’t want young people being targeted on this channel. Thanks!

I’ve got a video for that too! 💕 here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWqm3Vmh6eijdUsi=69DGzXHVwWO7wPSD

@@mallorygrimste Thanks 👍🏻

The now was part of a question not an eye roll 🫶 thanks for asking so I can help clarify any confusion for others too

Thanks- as a therapist we're usually familiar with both sides of the couch 🛋️

I've got a great video for you right here:: "What if you're too anxious to show up? Try these 4 Therapist-Approved coping skills for teenagers" kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2nGkoVugpyhjMU

@@mallorygrimste thank you!

awesome! hope it helps :)

This is a totally common fear- and to be honest, they may still be mean. We can't control other's responses, but we do have power in potentially influencing or impacting the response with our own interactions. Not a fail-proof method, but have you checked out the strategies in this video yet? "Here's how to get your parents to take YOU and Your Mental Health seriously as a teenager" here's that link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpbIp5aCpbybhpY

@@mallorygrimste oh thank u but im not a teenager ty for the link tho

@Scrap_beth my content is geared towards teens because that’s primarily who I work with in my therapy practice. However, the strategies I mention in the video come from DBT and these ones are the same in the adult and adolescent protocols so they could still help if you’re interested :)

@@mallorygrimste ok. But do they work for children

appreciate you :)

@@mallorygrimsteI don’t like therapists😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😅😅😅😂😅🎉😅😢😮😂😅😢😅🎉😊😢😅😢🎉😅🎉😅😂🎉😅😢😅😢😅🎉😅😊🎉😊

While having a diagnosis can be helpful, you can still use these strategies if they help you feel better. The only way to know for sure if it’s clinically diagnosable is to meet with a trained professional who can complete an assessment.

Thanks Jo! Hope you’re doing well across the pond 🫶

This is not I am a therapist too

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to clarify this 💝 | crying in therapy

So glad your doctor was able to find something that helped you 🌺

Glad you found a strategy that works well for you. 🌸

LOVE this tip- thanks for sharing!! Also thank you for sharing that it isn't always a "seen" experience. Hope you're feeling better :)

Hello 👋 so glad you’re using emotion wheels. Honestly there are a ton of different tools and cheatsheets out there, but if you can name it yourself that’s even better. You know yourself best. And if you can’t quite pinpoint the exact emotion “name” - describing the experience is a great way to identify and process it, too. Kelsey will be pleased to hear you’re still using the lessons from her book. Hope you’re doing well!! 🌻

I would say some additional incentives that motivate me personally to help my clients get well include, but are not limited to: - personal satisfaction - making room for other clients in need - preventing death (I have a personal history I’ve talked about in other videos of knowing people who have died from suicide which heavily influenced my decision to become a therapist) - less marketing since word of mouth referrals of a job well done help fill my caseload I can’t speak for all therapists, but these are the incentives that pop up top of mind for me. A way I also personally take to make sure I don’t let client’s health is to meet with a consultation group of other therapists who are incentivized to provide good client care where I can process and work out countertransferences that may arise so it doesn’t negatively impact the work we do in therapy with clients. Hope that helps clarify the concern. Again- super appreciate your willingness to talk about this since I’m sure others have similar concerns. 🫶
