Your a breath of fresh air in this crazy world and so personable! I personally could listen to you speak for hours and I have lol. Thank you for being you! ❤

To be as vulnerable as you were during your ‘session’ exhibits a tremendous amount of self confidence and lack/diminution of shame. Kudo’s to you. You were raised well :-). Most people, due to shame, avoid anything that is linked to vulnerability and expressing their insecurities. I imagine it took a lot of courage to speak as honestly as you did, knowing fully that your family would probably (at some time) see this video. I’m writing primarily to say that your actions reflect a very healthy sense of self, along side the ‘voices’ that everyone has about their insecurities. The only way to work through ‘issues’ is by shining a light on them, looking at them clearly and separating the wheat from the chafe. Such a wonderful experience to watch (and learn from) and I suspect it culminated with some epiphanies for you. Thanks for sharing.
@Buzzy-bm6bv3 жыл бұрын
one other thing. being some what older than you, and having dealt with similar (wanting to fit in and being accepted for who I am) of things you’re dealing with, consider the possibility that while you certainly love your family, their paradigm of life might be different than yours (maybe your moms paradigm was more similar) and your paradigm is the one you have to live with during your life. So if there are people with a different way of looking at life, you might not ever fit fully into their paradigm nor them into yours. That will ultimately be okay. Because you have to be true to yourself and fine the people who you fit in with to hold near and dear, alongside your family. Those in that ‘adopted’ family will mean the world to you. You don’t have to change yourself to fit into anyone else’s way of looking at life. Be proud of your own. That understanding, and acceptance will assist you in the personal and spiritually development of who you are yet to become. Good Luck with that acceptance, if indeed, it is germane to your life.

That was literally life changing. Not only did I relate so much (too much? ) to Kyle's issues but also this whole "simple" practical exercise to be less hurt by your own thoughts is exactly what I have been craving for without being able to get help. My different therapists were great and got me out of pure dark depression but now that my head is out of the water, I need to learn to swim and breathe and handle and these waves of suffocating thoughts. And this way more real than anything I've ever listened to. Thank you. Really.

I like the idea of pulling in a little IFS when doing the exercise where you wrote your thought - sensing it as the voice of a "part" to whom you can be present, listen to, ask what it needs from you (maybe affirmation/attention/love/empathy for the pain of losing your mom/remembering her loving/celebrating that, etc.) - bringing the cognitive into the body/mind/heart/spirit, healing and reparenting.

Kyle, I am so proud of you. I have watched your videos for awhile, and see that you are genuine, and applaud that you have retained your empathy and compassion, throughout all the troubles that befell you. 💗 This is just how I felt. My mom had depression and anxiety and used to rage on all of us, but especially on me. She died when I was 13, after two years of illness. Daddy remarried less than three months later, and I always felt i didn’t measure up. He remarried twice more, and i always felt that way, in relation to the families. Thank had to move far away to escape the self-defeating beliefs.

Amazing as always Kyle and Dr. Judy ❤ I had similar experiences also, I used to be so scared saying my most honest thoughts out loud even to myself in private. Even when I tried to write them down on paper (I wanted to write a letter) I couldn't. It went on for years. Before, I held a deep grudge against my dad and I was so scared of admitting I hate my dad. But then I finally broke down from keeping it all in, I cried and let everything go emotionally including my filter. I started to say things out loud (to myself) and wrote down everything I thought without filter. The more I said it the more I questioned why I was saying it when it was not all completely true. I realized I let those words have too much power over me and I held on it for too long. I will try and use the "I noticed that" and "I am having the thought that" next time I am journalling to add extra layers to my bad thoughts. More power to MedCircle!

I think it's really interesting that a lot of the comments on this mock therapy session are focused on "wow I have the same problem as Kyle and this has given me insight in how to deal with that problem that we both share". Whereas I'm here for the ACT example - seeing how a real person navigates through an ACT exercise of cognitive defusion. And I think seeing that process happen in someone else reinforces how I can do it with myself.

Holy crap so I know this video is over a year old but I just recently came across it. I started going to therapy a few months ago. This is my second try and well it’s helpful. I’m not getting as much out of it as I had hoped I would . the way my brain works is very similar to Kyle’s. I need active coping charities, and ways that I can reframe my thought. Often the breathing exercise it will help if I can get to a place of relative calm but I can’t go from high anxiety to come with breathing exercises etc as the first thing I do I need something more like this something that can kick me in the actual brain into gear and get me out of the rumination cycle. I did not know that ACT was a thing until this video and now when I see my therapist next week I’m going to go to her and tell her that this is the kind of therapy I need. this video and this exercise is one of the most helpful thing I’ve seen since I started trying to research my anxiety and ways to cope with it. Thank you so much for making this video.

I love seeing this side of you. I think this helps many people like me. My family position is similar to yours except the death was my sister's dad. From that point on life had changed. Being the youngest at 8, I felt unworthy. In my case this fact is true. I just don't fit with my family and I've finally given myself permission to be free of it. I married a great guy and his family has accepted me totally. Give yourself a break, Kyle. You must have these negative thoughts for a reason. You'll learn to build these bonds with family the longer you're around them. If they have issues with you being gay then I really feel for you. My daughter is gay and I can't imagine me or my family members ever making her feel any less or not worthy to be a part of the family. Her dad didn't deal with it in the same way and it broke her heart. I'm sorry you deal with so much depression too. Mine is at the place where I can't even get out of bed. I'm on so many psych meds it's unreal. I don't know how you survive these periods of time on only 40mg of Zoloft or whatever it was. I'm making this way too long. I hope you have a very merry Christmas or holiday season, Kyle. 🎄☃️

I think in that case you have to dive deeper, because yes some thoughts are objectively true. If, say, you have a disease or you live in poverty, and your thought is "I feel powerless about this" well that IS true, to an extent. But then, what does it mean for you to be powerless about it? That you've given up hope? That the feeling of powerlessness has generalized to other areas of your life? That you feel like it's pointless to try anything else? There could be a number of ramifications under that thought that are keeping you stuck.
