I've learned that things are gonna happen whether you're happy or not. We can't stop life events, unfortunately. I've also learned that when you're happier and something bad happens, it allows you to deal with these things in a healthier way. Wishing everything the best✨🙏

Oh dang, Doc Snipes, your videos can be so timely in my life, sometimes it's a bit eerie! Thx so much for all that you do, greetings from Toronto.

I appreciate the questions of “Who says good things will be taken away from me? Is that always going to be true?” That helps me, thank you.

[@DocSnipes]

You’re so welcome! I am grateful to be of help and I appreciate you watching the video

Since then every time I'm gettin' too happy something tragic happens. Thank you Doc I understand more now why I feel that way

Your work brings me joy.

Its very interesting how you say one can not be angry and happy at the same time. When I feel myself getting angry over nonsense (replaying something stupid someone said) I force myself to smile and think, in the grand scheme it doesnt matter

[@diplomatdiplomat2800]

I am very happy

[@maryjanerx]

Afraid to be happy because of its link with my trauma!! I was very happy when I found out some terrible news, and now the 2 are linked in my brain. Thank you. Now that I know this,my therapist can help me work on this

Mmmm hmmmm!! A refresher from of the original post. Ahhh, now to create a cotton-tail moment this morning listening to Miguel Del Aguila, drinking some dark coffee with all natural clover honey as the sweetener, a bit of milk to serve as the creamer and the rest of the day ahead full of events unknown to me. Tres bein! 😄😄😄

[@DocSnipes]

Wonderful!

Oh I see.. This is an edited version of the live stream from the other day minus the Q&A.. Happy Easter 🐇🐰🥚

[@DocSnipes]

Yes it was. The Live videos are hard to find, and I wanted to make sure this content was visible to everyone. 😁

[@reddy5985]

Thank you 🙏 I get so anxious when I become happy. Like the point you made regarding trauma association. Makes sense for me.

I'm surprised, that there are people who are afraid to be happy.

My issue is that I have repressed memories but I have a knowingness that when I was showing my joy outward as a child, I was punished for it. Many years of sexual abuse by different family members but I only have maybe 3-5 specific memories over about 10 years!

[@DocSnipes]

That sounds awful and I am sorry it happened to you. Other videos you might be interested in can be found at kzbin.infosearch?query=trauma

As long as bills are paid. I would LOVE to be locked down at home. I am happy on my homestead with my animals. I'm NOT an extrovert.....

Mighty Mouse and Under Dog were my favorites.

[@anitach5901]

We are going trough times ,when to be happy would be inappropriate . Actually I see people sill frighten or eventually looking for temporary escape , what is devastating in a long term . Question that's nature or nurture? From a biological point of view ,we are driven by surviving and reproduction needs ,not to be happy. Anyway persuading for happiness is like a chasing balloon or butterfly ,eventually life is like Irish summer ,which is stormy with some sunny splits .

[@louisskulnik7390]

I am a few minutes in to the video. I hope she goes into the shame response. I am ashamed and embarrassed by happiness. I can have moments of laughter and such, but it is the big events in life that I avoid. Dating is a no go. No parties. No get togethers. Christmas season is a bust, etc.

[@DocSnipes]

Thanks for watching. Here is the video on transforming guilt and shame: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaaqYaKemtCJqbMsi=2AD0t4TsM5hEkByR

[@vernonscott7999]

Have you investigated Roy Masters 7 minute Meditation? Is this useful? It seems to work.

[@labitcoineragt3596]

Is that fear of being happy trauma related?

[@DocSnipes]

Due to time constraints, I am just not able to answer all questions here. I have options at DocSnipes.com to schedule a cognitive behavioral education appointment, or submit a contact form for a detailed response. Thanks for understanding. I appreciate all my viewers and the interaction! 😀

Is glutamate bad for you? I take it for gut health!

[@allisonroehm4663]

Too much glutamate can stress you out I know that

[@vernonscott7999]

@@allisonroehm4663 Thanks…. I was told it was good for gut and mood. How much is too much? I only take a spoonful with a full glass of water in the morning.

[@allisonroehm4663]

@@vernonscott7999 personally I stay far away from the stuff because I smoke marijuana and too much glutamate production on top of being stoned makes me paranoid
