I am spreading your videos to people I know who suffer from anxiety because it helped me

[@marywidener1409]

I learned so much from this video!! I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time that I just might not have to suffer so badly with anxiety, especially health anxiety 🙏

[@elanasomekh1125]

One of the best speakers on anxiety on tube!

[@juliannevans6559]

Dr. Russell...thank you for helping your tribe; us who suffer from anxiety. What you say really helps identify the "hole in the boat," that is the root cause of our anxiety. So true that our little self hasn't healed from those traumas, but now our adult self can hold our own hand literally and help us heal through seeing, hearing, loving, and protecting us through those scary moments we haven't understood why--until now!!! THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!

[@DaleMeinardi]

Brilliant! So Helpful! Don’t change a thing in your delivery, works beautifully for me❤

[@freddyray629]

For how long should I focus on the alarm? Should I tell the alarm that I love and protect him? What else? I gave it a try and it worked well, but I'd like to do all the things that can work me. I am with GAD here for so many years.Thank you for your help so much.

[@LawnJohn]

Thanks so much for this video. I’ve dealt with anxiety for years and this is not something I’ve heard before. I’m struggling to figure out the alarm coming from childhood or my younger self. I really appreciate getting to the root and not just coping. Looking forward to the other videos!

[@thara21]

Thank you for the work you do ❤

[@BlackbeanCatVC15]

For me, and I am still new to this concept, but I gather my 6. 12, and 18 year old "child", we put our arms around each other and we watch the alarm go off, with the wiring to the brain severed of course (by us) and we just chill watching it go off until it's done. This seems to be where I am going with this. So far so good.

[@vivianwalsh1098]

Glad you're here!

[@111tucson]

Excellent information! We can all relate to this. I can’t wait to see how this helps my husband.😊

[@oliviachua1286]

I like your videos thank you so much for the help. God bless !!

[@love-u-first]

Thank you, it helps and love the format 😊

[@garybrowndorf3656]

And truthfully, nobody ever asked me how I felt. You are correct

[@sabyasachisen5351]

HI DOC, I'M 57, FROM KOLKATA IN INDIA. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. MY DAD WAS AN FRCOG. YOUR TAKE ON HEALING ANXIETY IS WONDERFUL AND REFRESHING. YOU LOOK VERY TIRED AND SLEEPY IN THIS VIDEO & IN A FEW OTHERS. I THINK YOU OUGHTA GET MORE QUALITY REST AND SLEEP. GOOD JOB. BEST WISHES FROM INDIA

[@IllustriousGroup]

Hi Doc! Whatever sounds that you are concerned about that are going on in the background, cannot be heard. So let go, have fun and not be alarmed about the details! You got this! BTW, Loving your work, your approach and beyond. Still having a rough time finding my alarm but eventually I will find it.

[@tmanator]

Hi Doc, how long did it take for you to come to a place of healing once you found out how to not allow the loop to happen between your mind and alarm?

[@garybrowndorf3656]

Dr Kennedy. My father died in front of me from cardiac arrest. I was ten years old. After 37 years in law enforcement, I am having anxiety attacks more than ever

[@timmiet47321]

I recently learned my alarm(s). They are constant. I'm in touch with them. My question is this: Given the physical alarms are with me constantly, I'm certain I'm hyperviglilant, Is it necessary to find a trigger for the alarm(s) if I'm free of anxious thoughts during most of these moments?

[@sarahjanevickery9369]

Really helpful! I'msharing your videos and podcast. Thank you!

[@michelefinizio6520]

Thank you. I enjoy all your podcasts I have a question I have a mind that is hyperactive and constantly overthinking to the point of fatigue and insomnia. Can I have an anxious over thinking mind without alarm in the body? I get anxious in my mind a lot of overthink ing but do not experience any alarm in my body. Is alarm in the body pain in the body?

[@bendarbyjones172]

Hi Doc, u mention giving ur younger self love and attention to start healing the alarm. My question is, how do we give the love and attention to our younger damaged self? Ps, i think your theories make sense and certainly ring true with my experiences of gad. I think i know what damaged me when i was younger that caused much hypervigilance in me for several years from a young age until my late teens. I just cant figure out how to get to my younger self.

[@katysmith4978]

Same I would like to know how too

[@ryarya3291]

How do we console and reassure the inner child?

[@geoffreyminns5050]

I’m also spreading your help and treating my work accident ptsd having an physical alarm source I’m struggling on how to nurture it and diffuse it what’s the next steps

[@foofooman80]

I’m very intrigued by your work. I had to have emergency open heart surgery for a saddle pulmonary embolism. It came out of nowhere. Was rushed to the ER and then straight to the OR. My “alarm” has not shut off in the last year and a half. Is this still related to my inner child? Thanks.

[@Alphacentauri819]

Alarms (sympathetic nervous system) can be very triggered by a cardiopulmonary event, such as yours. Additionally, surgery and anesthesia can be traumatic. People downplay the unbelievable impact, due to the novelty of these surgeries being "normal", but to a body it is anything but normal. I think that alarm can be triggered regardless of your childhood, with the situation you shared...but, if there is undealt with childhood issues, those can be retriggered with a later adulthood trauma. The crappy childhood fairy (KZbin) has shared how she had an assault that brought up all her trauma and caused a lot of issues, and her whole platform is how she healed from the childhood trauma that resurfaced with that adulthood assault. I hope you are recovering and not so anxiety riddled. I wish you well 💫

[@foofooman80]

@@Alphacentauri819 thanks so much for the reply. Appreciate it

[@amenhotep7704]

You have went directly to the source problem, i cannot thank you enough for this brain hack, Doctor Kennedy.

[@chanpc5660]

How do u find the alarm in your body?

[@LoveMatters369]

I'm grateful you're doing this in a video format... I'm far more likely to watch... Do you think the trauma we react to could be from a different lifetime??? I seem to have DNA Remembrance of a trauma that I don't think happened in this lifetime... Could that be possible in your opinion???

[@antmercado]

Keep up the good work 👏

[@jodavidson1733]

-I’ve been bitten by the benzos- thanks Doc - Not! anyway, I’m interested to hear how you healed from coming off AD’s and do you do a podcast on healing anxiety etc when we are affected by a chemical like a benzo- there’s millions of us

[@ujjwaladiya2471]

it would be much helpful to practically show it doctor, maybe people will get it more :) but i think its meditation and mindfulness and this feeling of emotions helps. :)

MY ANXIETIES STARTED WHEN THE NEIGHBORS STOPPED SPEAKING TO ME IT MADE ME FEEL ILL AND WONDER WHAT THEY HAVE SAID ABOUT ME

[@Zebratang]

Why not psychedelics? Just curious. Thank you.

[@joe-zp7ge]

im not afraid of anything but i have had anxiety issues for years. 90 percent of people dont remember any trauma from their childhood. so now what? you cant talk your way out of anxiety...you can only manage it

[@danab172]

Please help me. I can't bear this anymore. Is it possible that for some people, these techniques just don't work?

[@Soulshine77]

And why do you not recommend psychedelics when they helped you!? Thats the only thing I don't get. I forget who made this quote..."A heroic dose of psilocybin is like a thousand hours of therapy". Psychedelics impact glutamate in the brain which supports neurogenesis - new brain cell growth - which SSRIs dont do. It doesnt matter how much serotonin there is if there is nobody around to "drink it". Thank you for your book - I love it, it resonates with me in a very fundamental way.

[@theanxietymd]

I don’t overtly RECOMMEND the psychedelics because they can do more harm than good in some people. Thanks so much for your kind words about the book!

[@Soulshine77]

@@theanxietymd thank you, your book ties together all the copious research I have done spanning Polyvagal theory, CPTSD, Levines work on Somatic experiencing etc. I am halfway through part 2, looking forward to part 3. My question was premised on the fact that I have had incredible experiences (healing) with psilocybin and even mainstream allopathy is now running ketamine and MDMA clinics. Johns Hopkins is using psilocybin for end of life patients and results have been outstanding with complete dissipation of fear of dying. And for you, LSD was the catalyst that made all this possible. Of course misuse can wreak havoc - fire can burn my house or cook my meat. Everything must be treated with respect. I am hoping for greater acceptance, acknowledgement and appreciation for the therapeutic benefits psychedelics can offer. Thanks again. Also, your Schwarzenegger voice is very good. :) - I bought your audiobook.

[@theanxietymd]

@@Soulshine77 thank you Shiva! There’s a difference in accepting significant therapeutic benefits and RECOMMENDING psychedelics. I’ve seen people have longstanding emotional dysregulation after pstchedelics, so I stop short of a general recommendation.

[@Soulshine77]

@@theanxietymd I get it now - thank you Doc. Also, I just read/heard the part around your traumatic Aya experience which I did not know of earlier. That is indeed terrifying and I do not have the courage to go near Mother Aya.
