Bravo sir!!!!!

[@studylearn2249]

I very much appreciate your videos! I think a great topic right now is DEALING WITH ANGER.

[@aaronwest1055]

I’ve noticed, with my own experience with addiction, that I have typically liked to conceptualize my behaviors to help me fix them. For instance I’ve figured that behaviors are things that you can feed or starve. In doing so we can make them grow or shrink. Increase or decrease the behavior. So by doing an activity more, you made it more likely, a stronger influence in your mind.

[@TheChristinebarois]

Hi ! from Paris France, I'm psychiatrist. Thank you so much for your videos. May I ask for a topic like "how to overcome fear of abandonment" ? could it be : acknowledge fear and get curious ? Loneliness is so hard for people.

You're a total boss!

[@veroniquelamontagne1327]

Dear Dr. Jud, Thank you very much for this explanation of the the fix and growth mindset from Carol Dweck. As I am currently studying learning disorders, it got me curious. There are some innate capacities and they have to be recognized if we want to give the children the help they need to experience success. But this really sounds like a fixed mindset. I would be curious to hear your ideas on this subject. Veronique

How to cope with the struggle with blaming others a lot, not because of not willing to take responsibility for own, the reason I am aware of is I think my spouse, my kids are not doing what expect they should do, when they do not , I am disappointed and sad. I know what contribute my habitual pattern to blame others, but hard to get rid of them. That is why I am sad most of the time
