I was tought math, chemistry all that staff in school but no one tought me how to deal with emotions. Thanks for this valuable information

[@wendydiaz8988]

Right!?! This should be standard education throughout the school education experience from kindergarten to grad.

[@noonecaresworkharder9125]

This is legit one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. I might not even be exaggerating. Not just for DBT, not just for mental health, but just everything in general. Wow. This is significantly better than my experiences with therapists

[@SelfHelpToons]

Wow thanks!

[@amber0290]

Literally. I cannot believe how you hit everything I needed point by point. Some videos are too long and scientific, I really need to know the basics and then what to do. Thank you so much.

[@danielvelaofficial]

Hi! I’m a nurse and I applaud you for making this visualization. Breath work is so very important. When we get our breath (lungs) under control, we then can directly influence our heart too. The heart and lungs work together to oxygenate and nourish the body. When you’re anxious, and your heart is beating so fast, and you get all hot and sweaty (like you’re holding your breath.) YOU have the power to take control of your heart by first taking control of your breath. Breathe in and hold it. Then purse your lips and breathe out slllooowwwwllllyyyy. Just like you allow the discomfort of pain in other parts of your body, allow the discomfort of your anxious heart to be one with you. Once you single your heart out and you feel it beating inside your chest, and you let it do it’s thing while you breathheeeee, you’ll soon see: the slower you breathe, the slower your heart beats- the less anxious you’ll feel. I always tell my patients: ✨don’t knock the power of 10 DEEP BREATHS✨ This is coming from an anxious nurse who has practiced this more times than I can count, who worked through C*VID in a cardiovascular unit ❤️ I saw horrible things and dealt with a lifetime of traumatic experiences, but when I allow myself to breathe, and accept that I have this knowledge; this experience, I then feel empowered to know that there is something I can do to help with this feeling in my chest. (Spoiler, it’s BREATHE!) I know it might seem too simple or ‘woo-woo’ at first glance, but there is a physiological, scientific profound madness behind the magic, your heart and lungs work together and we have the power to work out breath! Moral of the story, breatheeee. I hope this helps❤.

[@itskeagan3004]

I held my breath for 30 seconds the first time and doubled that at one minute the second. It felt SO EMPOWERING to hold onto that uncomfortable sensation in a way, I’m so glad I watched this video!

[@ices3456]

When we accept the discomfort we automatically get more acceptance tolerance to it.I guess we flow with it better.Amazing!!!

[@SelfHelpToons]

Great point!

[@anthonyebert1812]

This is one of your best videos. Often, they explain the why behind the bad, but don't put as much time into the how of the good. I love how you integrate the lesson into the breathing exercise. Thabk you!

[@SelfHelpToons]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aisling664]

Thank you for this video. I've had a really tough time dealing with emotions after numbing them. This has lifted a weight I didn't know was there.

[@SelfHelpToons]

Thanks for sharing, that's great to hear.

[@jenniferclarke900]

how did you stop numbing them? Was the numbing volunatry or involuntarily? I'm numb to everything besides anger and anxiety. I don't do it purposely and can't find out how to stop. How did you learn to stop numbing your emotions?

[@brandismith7151]

@@jenniferclarke900 Look for them in your body. Sit and focus only on your body to pinpoint the location of your emotion. Our feelings live in our nervous system so there is no reason to involve thoughts. Focus on your body. Locate it. Allow it to be. Focus, don't run. When you move your awareness from your "mind" to your body it becomes a physical sensation instead of an intolerable feeling, and we are more able to allow them to rise and then fade away.

[@itskeagan3004]

@@jenniferclarke900 I’ll add my experiences and opinion here as well, being a trauma survivor and losing nearly 30 yrs of my life fighting with it. I could feel few emotions but when I felt them they were intense, I can’t describe how intense honestly. I had NO control over my emotions until I learned about DBT, mindfulness and being present. “The Body Keeps The Score” is the book that laid the foundation for my journey to who I am just a year later! These tools in DBT/CBT therapy are absolutely life saving and they are so overlooked. Well, that’s changing recently, more therapist are excited to share it these days!

[@ggonsg]

I am just blown away that you are describing my inner world and giving me so many tips to feel the sensations and allow them to add bin flow instead of running to go get a chocolate chip cookie. Thank you kindly

[@SelfHelpToons]

Thanks, that's so nice to hear!

[@ggonsg]

@@SelfHelpToons you’re so welcome. I am doing my own inner work and your videos are helping me so much to understand what I’m going through. By the way I wanted to make a donation but when I went to the buy coffee site for some reason it wouldn’t go through. No worries I’ll try again later this evening. By the way well I was trying to get it to work I was experiencing all kinds of “agitated” body sensations, jaw clenching, etc, lol! So I had the chance to practice acceptance. I didn’t get 100% and yet I know this is a journey🙃☺️

[@stephdimas93]

Dbt has helped me so much!! I use to be on a war path everyday and now I know how to calm myself and not act on first emotion!

This is the most well done video about emotions i have ever seen in my entire healing journey! Good job and thank you!! :)

[@SelfHelpToons]

Thanks so much!

[@a10c032]

Thank you so much! I have been dealing with anxiety because I thought I had a medical condition based on an article I read, and have come to realize what I’m battling is just negative thoughts because of what I read, and increasing my anxiety. I resonated with this video so much!

[@sethfoster7603]

Thank you for this video. Really informative and practical. I have BPD and OCPD, it's feels like a battle with 2 polarising conditions that pull in different directions. I also teach mindfulness in primary schools which aswell as helping the children helps myself.

Thanks so much!

[@ethangilbert7305]

The accepting of a feeling and not fighting it is what I do when I get way too high. I can’t get weed panic attacks because I have mastered the skill of just accepting the feelings I have and letting them happen. It’s much harder with regular sober emotions because it’s not nearly as clear to me that they would go away and with weed I don’t shame myself for feeling anxious

[@anitadawnburgess3403]

Wow! This was a great video - the holding breath exercise was awesome! So insightful. Thank you!

Breathe in 7 seconds, hold for 3, then imagine you're exhaling all the air into your heart. It's pretty calming.

[@sanjana4219]

After imagining the exhale process,when to really exhale ?

[@awolfe8565]

I held my breath the hold time:)

[@MrCjchamp2001]

Sure 👌

[@chooseaname1423]

I held for 23 the first time and 48 the next. 👍🏻

[@kamiaesanto]

Very very good one 👍🏾

[@TheEtherny]

I held my breath 10 seconds longer the first time cause it was distracting to hear you talk about other stuff, however, the second time I was very aware of the discomfort cause that's what you were talking about it so I was less able to let it happen

The sensations you talked about are different for each individuals. That's why doctors having difficulties finding them because they're there from the emotions effects

Thanks! Most of the animation is done in Power Point with a little bit of Photoshop

I came here because I became interested in dbt. There are two categories, but I don't know which one to look at first. Did you study psychology and work on cartoons yourself? I think it's a great content.

[@SelfHelpToons]

Thanks! I have an MA in psychology and I make the cartoons myself.

Im so bad at abusing physically/verbally my boyfriend when I have a bad day. I've been in therapy 2 years and nothing works. 🥺 How can you accept being angry without acting?

[@manganime1893]

Fromm 55 to 92 😯😯

[@wks6034]

Whats the emotion when u feel like fainting or puking?

[@SelfHelpToons]

Anxiety?

[@hadtomakeachannel]

When people are angry, do they really feel like their head is actually going to explode?! :/

[@crystalshadesoflightworker]

Often if habitually suppressed, yes. I often ultimately get migraines from it, as I don't really identify my intense anger despite a crushing headache being present during stress/frustration, until I get a migraine which doesn't physically allow me to continue ignore my emotions/feelings that are present. I then NEED to go and calm down and it doesn't go away until I an regulated again... I often have facial pain and TMJ due to grinding and clenching my teeth in order to unintentionally suppress it also.

[@rabiabelani1184]

26 seconds both times
