Thank you thank you thank you! Love this video❤ Subscribing right Now! :)

My therapist needs a therapist himself. Waste of time and money.

Ive come to describe my OCD as "I don't control my thoughts, my thoughts control me."

I wish I had seen you for help. The therapist I saw questioned whether abuse was actually occurring! The domestic abuse hotline thinks so, so yeah abuse is occurring.

I do self harm to change all my mental emotions and stress and anxiety into physical pain, inflicting my rage and emotions and feelings for things into myself and ive hidden things that harm me, im trying but its hard when youve just relapsed today

I have severe social anxiety & severe depression

I am 4 years late into discovering your platform (Sunday, May 19th 2024) Another interesting channel alongside Orion Taraban, Psy.D (Psychacks) Ramani Durvasula (Doctor Ramani) and Kenny Weiss. Will definitely delve into your backlog/ library of posts, sir. Happy Sunday from London, UK.

This video is so true!

Okay, definitely need to watch this video! Thank you!

Early in my relationship with my late wife (30 years together) she was telling me something her husband said to her and I asked, “how did that make you feel?” She said crying. I didn’t understand why. She told me, “that’s the first time a man ever asked me what I feel about anything.” I was shocked. It seemed that a natural obvious question to me. I would suggest the question is different in the context of a therapy session than it is in a personal conversation between two people who have a bond as friends or lovers.

The sound effect at the beginning is like bbangbbang’s daily life credits

1. Clean. 2. Go outside. 3. Interact with one living thing. 4. Check off one thing. 5. Treat yourself.

I have OCD, I went to a therapist and I was taught basic breathing techniques and to "relax and give myself a break", but was never taught about how my brain works and why I get the thoughts that I do, absolute waste of time and money, you can act like a professional but an act is an act.

Am proudly bipolar / manic disorder. I would like to promote awareness in my country Uganda

Thank you so much for your videos. I am a victim of gang stalking, and have heightened anxiety from that. It is a lot to cope with. Thank you for your video about listening, and the 4 questions. I found that video very useful, as well as this video. I appreciate that you are sharing this information.

Can someone be assessed as or rather labeled as crazy if say they are Fidgeting around not sitting still…?? Or would they need to be ask what’s going on before judging this behavior…is that fair to say ..?

Heck yeah! Thanks Doc for this video!!

I am going through this right now!!! not sure which one to pick!

Im sad(im not joking im trying to find something to stop crying im crying radomly my mom yelled at me and hurt me she slaped me in the face and hit me a lot and i barely did anything)

Thief of joy more like it.

Laundry! It's a simple thing I can do with a big impact that leds me to doing other 6hings. Setting time limits on my phone gives me the opportunity every hour or so to get off the couch.

"What's going on in your body? " instead of "how do you feel?". Brilliant. I've just finished a long chunk of therapy and this approach is so much more useful. For me, it gets me out of my head and gives way more information.

I am facing OCD since from 8 years at first it was just a begining from having small ocd (actions) like washing hands, unwanted thoughts,etc. But, now the level of OCD today is much more greater and the worst I ever did in my life is not taking any kind of professional care and today even I don't have any professional help or anything to fix my ocd and the ocd had made me to this level that most of my time everyday I waste in OCD 80% time out of every hour I waste on my ocd to get relief by doing actions I don't want to do, and I am writing this comment and I am on level where I just wanted to suicide but I am not doing OCD has destroyed my whole college life personal and professional. And, I had just started hating my self and my life.

I choose to stay alone I know everyone think we are bad persons and I feel tired to explain that isnt like that...but I had no choice

Really thanks sir thanks for this video 😊

I just realize I do this with my mom…

This video was definitely made for dorks

Therapy is Pseudo science. It cant be proven real

This stuff is gold !

Thank you...after a long time, I am finally taking meds and therapy. Ocd and adhd . I have lost so many good jobs. Also quit college. My house was a mess. Now my life is so much better house Clean. Also getting better with the social anxiety. 😌

if you approach me & give a compliment, you are getting side-eye

❤🎉❤🎉🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

4:34 this whole section is me exactly

Brilliant.

I need to ask myself these questions. Thank you❤

I thought id Telehealth, and for some it works, but it really limits for teens and kids

Well, the first question is already quite difficult to answer for me. I genuinely don't know what I'm afraid of. I don't even know anymore if I'm really socially anxious or if I'm just over exaggerating. Many symptoms seem to match, but many triggers seem to mismatch for me. For example I'm not afraid of being judged or seen anxious and I don't have problems looking someone (even strangers) into the eyes. Starting a conversation or joining one tho is IMPOSSIBLE. Most probably it's the fear of being rejected, but thinking about rejection doesn't really feel strong enough to power the anxiety. Idk anymore what my problem is; it's just exhausting being lonely and feeling like I couldn't do anything against it although I could and should.

I’m just going to say that if you’re watching this video you’re a really good person. 💛

Should this job be only for grandparents with life experience? Cause all you do is listen and talk.

what's the therapy fo people who havee been abused by religion.. people who know there can't possibly be a god because how many people that are killed by religious zealots of every religion state and country and international front on the block. religion kills 4 no good reason

Number 1 to learn at school .. start early

Does skin picking count as compulsions? Because I do have ocd but it’s not mainly the common ones like germs or sexual thoughts. My skin picking is so intensive that I can’t control it even it I was bleeding.

I do have it. Medication has changed my life. So did therapy but the medication really made the difference

I know some therapists who frequently validate pretty much anything people say, I always feel "handled" it's an obvious technique and it makes them so much harder to trust or relate to

Even my mom tried to admire my illness but sometime she still unintentionally hurt me by "so hard to live with you". I know she doesnt mean it. Even my best friends, for sure they can not understand it, i remember in the past she told me that im so picky and live like a princess with high standard. I i stop hangout with her for a year. Luckily that we came back lol. They never know how our life truely are. We're not proud for being an OCD. We dont like to be "that clean, that perfectionist,..etc". We doubt about our memories and exhausted. Swear the fee of paying for using water monthly is triple time to compare to normal people..

Comment section calms me down
