Anxiety Toolkit: Understanding Its Effects On Your Mind and Body | The Mel Robbins Podcast

[@melrobbins]

@DrRussellKennedy never disappoints. I learned so much about anxiety in today’s episode that I had NEVER heard before. If this episode provided some value to you, please do me a favor by dropping a like and comment below your biggest takeaway!

[@pamlightfoot1871]

I am so sick of anxiety. thank you Mel Robbins. 😊

[@bucii01]

Here here ppl who don’t suffer from it do not realize how debilitating it can be. Affecting all aspects of one’s life

[@RealNyeTheScienceGuy]

Not gonna lie, telling myself it’s not my fault combined with counting to 10 over and over again works. Did that for years and the anxiety basically disappeared until anything negative out of my control happened. Then one day I found God… I think that is what I was truly missing because I can feel full anxiety and just put it on God now, then continue my normal day. Hopefully that helps someone get passed the anxiety. My anxiety can from childhood trauma and failures in life

[@salonsavy6476]

Very relatable

[@fishpaw09]

I envy people who can lean on god. I’ll never be able to do that. It feels inauthentic for me. I’ll continue to try to deal with my issues on my own. I love your first solution though and will try it. Self empowerment!

[@RealNyeTheScienceGuy]

@@fishpaw09 everytime something else other than you counting 1-10 pops up in your head, just let the thought go and keep counting to 10 until all other thoughts disappear and you’re just focused on counting 1-10. I started with counting 1-20 but it was too much. 1-10 was very easy to repeat in my mind. After a few minutes(an hour the first time) the feeling completely left my body and I felt like I was floating the first few times.

[@KhushSoul]

I agree completely! I’ve learned to manage some very difficult emotions by pausing and asking myself some very serious questions. I also created a Pinterest board with some inspiring verses from the Bible. And I use a lot of self-compassion and keep reminding myself, “May I be at peace, May I continue to get stronger, May I be loved.” We are all a work in progress and need to have each other’s back in these difficult times because of common humanity.

[@janisharrismurray8508]

@@fishpaw09 Hi, was curious why you feel its inauthentic to lean on God with anxiety

[@relaunchinglife]

I understand that the majority of us have childhood trauma, however, that is not my experience, I have adult trauma - my childhood was fine, (healthy would be a stretch) but I had many traumatic experiences after I turned 50 that have put me into deregulation & dissociation for the last several years. I had no idea trauma could cause this, and it is so misunderstood & underdiagnosed that there just isn't a lot out there on how to heal. There are common experiences that many of us go through after 50 - loss of parents, caring for sick parents, loss of marriage, death of partner, loss of career, of income, of home, empty nesting, loss of our health, our dignity, pride and on and on... these are all very traumatic experiences that many of us go through within a 10 year time span, which is a lot of trauma on our systems. Especially when we are dealing with so much loss and not many "gains" in life, since it is a whole new ball game to start over after 50 w/ career, dating, living alone, etc.. This is the focus of my new channel that I am trying to build on KZbin, but it is scary. Thankfully I feel it is more important than my fear.

[@RoxanneSchmidt-c9t]

Thanks for addressing this !!!

[@ModernJewelryMakers]

@@RoxanneSchmidt-c9t thank you for replying to this comment. I have let trauma & fear prevent me from starting the next phase of my life fully. Oh - sorry, I just realized I’m commenting from my business account. But I made this original comment apparently 11 months ago - thank you for reminding me of where my soul is calling me. I have spent this past year focusing on healing but there will never be a “right” time to fulfill our dreams. (I’m really just talking to myself now 😊) 🙏

[@alexvagias5295]

You may have had the nicest parents in the world but if they subconsciously taught you to block feelings, they unwittingly set you up for neurosis. Feelings/ loses have to be processed or they fester in the subconscious for time immemorial.

[@evaramirez7665]

Jesus!! Thank you for putting this podcast in my life.. I been hiding my pain for too long.

[@kristalhumphreys4621]

I absolutely loved Dr Kennedy

[@johnrbrown1968]

I didn't even have to wait very long for him to say something impactful for me.... Thanks for this one, Mel!

[@CrisWithLove]

"the amygdala doesn't know the timeline" has helped me finally be ok with trying the whole inner child soothing thing. THANK YOU

[@AnneVanTol]

Everything being said is resonating with me sooo much. If anyone could've seen my face when Mel begins her story about a wonderful memory as a child and she explains playing in her front yard in Michigan, my jaw just dropped. Seriously, I can't get enough!! I have listened/watched several episodes and I swear, you're talking right to me:) I have a beautiful memory of playing in my front yard in Michigan, too!! I could go on, I have adult children in which two were recently diagnosed with ADHD and encouraged me to get help because I'm "full Monty" as you'd said in one of your episodes (made me laugh so hard - menapuase) and am getting help because, yes! I too have ADHD and because I'm aware, so many life struggles make sense. It's like so many things are aligned because I'm choosing to take care of the little girl and because of that, God has placed you in my view to help me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for that!!

[@Notsu465]

Hi I totally understand

[@Gidgeegetzit]

Hi Mel, There is such a marked difference to this episode from the last one! OMG, I wanted to put tape over your mouth so Russ could speak, but this time it is obvious your personal work has taken you to new levels as you look so calm and serene now, and allowing the conversation flow.. Well done you!!! These two podcasts have changed my perspective of myself , my kids and the students I work with. Thank you!!

[@Midlifeanticrisis]

Felt this deeply. It’s like you were talking about me! I’m 53, three divorces, past struggles with addiction, overachiever and can never slow down. I’ve only recognized my anxiety in the past few years, but it has always been there.

[@sarawork-h2h]

[@harishhabit]

14:42 Masya Allah even in anxiety there's a blessing in disguise, thank you so much for this pov. Greetings from Indonesia. I had C-PTSD and it's been prob 2y I've been doing innerwork after being diagnosed stage 3B hormonal breast cancer in 2020 (alhamdulillah after chemo, mastectomy, radiation, I'm cleared).

[@mariefouquetvoixoff_voicet5390]

Thank you so much Mel and Dr Kennedy, I cried alot when listening because i was having a panic attack at this moment and boom as i was searching this video appeared! then as i listened i felt woaw what great tools to heal my anxiety, morning anxiety related to financial fear disguised in the lack of safety i felt as a child. For some reason money is connected to it. I'm ready to go deeper. Must find that happy moment and the trauma because i have several. Mel i have been following you for along time and never posted a comment, don't know why LOL i feel safe when i listen to you and the way you bring things is realistic and genuine and connected to life on life's term so really thank you for this generousity. Dr Kennedy i wish you were my therapist . Do you do sessions online? Can't wait for Part 2 🙂

[@KhushSoul]

I’ve been listening and following Mel since 2017 after watching her on Impact Theory and her messages helped me so much to during my financial issues. Just keep taking consistent steps…

[@elainemywords6799]

It's one of the best videos I have ever seen. The world needs more on this topic. We love you, Mel, for sharing.

[@MissRedWine]

agreed and i just came across her channel too. so glad i did.

[@amylooper]

Yes, this is why we must break up that original trauma to overcome the chronic stress cycle, chronic anxiety in order to really breakthrough. Exactly the process I had to do myself breaking through burnout, postpartum depression, emotionally toxic marriage. You name it, it all starts with healing core wounds! Great episode!

[@xannaz9226]

WOW I'm so glad to see Dr Kennedy again, and thrilled you are making this two cases instead of cramming it into one. The flip between the happy moment and trauma moment pulled up tears and tingling for me, always a sign I'm into truth

[@jennycasanova]

Mel and Dr Kennedy 😊 understand the inner child perfectly but unsure on how to heal and on how to pay attention to my little me and make it feel worth it 🙏 the how is what I am missing

[@dianefairey3731]

Mel I have been listening to you for many years. Especially when i became so terribly emotionally and physically isolated in 2020 with the perfect storm of unresolved family of origin issues, compounded grief from the death of first my dog, then my husband and then my father. I became an outcast. I am in recovery from compulsive over eating, by the Grace of God (of my own understanding) and the 12 steps ❤. I retired from 30 years a public educator, k-12 Visual and performing Arts, when I was at the top of my game! I had travel plans and moving to the country dreams for as long as I have known myself. My dreams are coming true one day at a time. It IS and inside job. we heal in small and giant ways - the healing trickles backwards and the self soothing awakens from having it modelled ❤but Truly from feeling in new ways… Every freakin time I watch and listen to your sign off, I well up with a gush of 😭 tears- sometimes the kinda pretty tears that make my eyes sparkle ✨ at their brightest! You and how you can sincerely connect with me…heartbroken to healed,full of gratitude 🙏🏻 and grace…sometimes it’s the ugly sobbing from the gut and a harder release of old stored hurts and trauma. The only way out is through. I have needed much heart❤hand holding, sometimes you Mel, have felt like the one and only one who really cares. That’s when I am in the pit of despair…and can never thank you 🙏🏻 enough for how many times I have been reached down to and pulled up by your videos and pod casts. You have saved my life and I am absolutely sure, I am not alone 💋 Diane in Canada 🇨🇦

[@svtkilr]

Wow I have also learns so much from both of these Great Drs I have had anxiety for the past 2 weeks and I have been using both of their techniques and I have been feeling much much better in the past 4-5 days prayer has been my go too!

[@lindamellingen5977]

Hi - and love your podcasts Mel. Having suffered severe childhood trauma, I would ask you to combine all the wonderful tools here, and the work Dr. Joe Dispenza. It is NOT a regular type of meditation, which I have never been able to do. Pretty much like trying to get a million mosquitoes to line up at one time..followed by 3 days migraines. Combining your work and Dr. Kennedy's work and insights would be amazing. I look at this younger me - a number of them - as bubbles in time in which some defence mechanism isolated the suffering of an episode. Every time shit happened, more trust was lost, and more defences built - and extra layers put in - for safety at the time. I am amazed at how my mind managed to actually saved me, kept me alive. But now I needed avenues of being able to let all my old "warriors" dare trust me telling them...that the war is over. And of course, I have been lucky - I have an inner part too that really kept me alive, and pushed me to try to a way back to trust..in my self. That part always, always gets in the forefront and tells me: The glass is half full, Linda - NOT half empty. If I did not have that, I'd not be here to bug you on your pod. :-) Pain can be a wonderful motivator, though what caused it was not. I cannot really go back to a favourite memory, due to not really remembering much - but listening to YOU...trickles down through the layers, - and Dispenza has taught me to find a way back to daring to listen to the pain of listening to the secrets of my body. Thanks for being there, all of you wonderful, sincere helpers.

The piece of art from Dr. Russell Kennedy’s office wall, it’s an inspiration. It captivates my mind and soul, my inner child. That’s my path to healing. Great podcast, thank you! ♾️♥️

[@krismiller5474]

This has really helped me put my finger on many specific bullying traumas both inside and outside my home. I always have felt separate and it must be because the hurtful words were said even before I can consciously recall. I can really relate to the doctor about seeking validation externally but simultaneously pained by the fear of being noticed and rejected. Even as a child, I was so scared of dying. Being that unlucky one something awful happens to. As a 58 year old woman who recently retired from a 36 plus year military career where an anxiety diagnosis could be a career ender, I am so relieved to be able to seek help and true healing.

[@jaykim6734]

I thoroughly enjoyed this message today. Ive been feeling anxious for the last few days, not knowing where its coming from and this is very helpful.

[@svtkilr]

Yeah me too but for a couple weeks and I’ll tell you what Dr Mel and Dr Kennedys Wisdom has helped tremendously and I have actually been doing better for the past 5 days some days I feel a little anxiety and irritable but I turn to what I was taught by these 2 great Drs and I pray to the man above and I know that god is hearing me! I’m in the process of getting off prescription painkillers for the past 15-20 years Iam currently a month of pills and I’m slowly tapering off suboxown I only been on it for a month but I’m ready to start getting off of it because I want to be completely off of everything by my bday in January but iam not taking it too fast the holidays are coming up so even if it takes after my bday in January I’m in no hurry because I know I can do it. One day at a time I hope you are feeling better tho! Let me know how your doing ? Have a great week. Let’s kick anxietys ass. 💪👍🙏 Benny

[@joanknowles2136]

This is an amazing podcast for me. You and Dr Kennedy have talked about childhood trauma being stored in my body. I am almost 67 years old (29th April) I have been in various therapies over the years with some very caring folks, mostly women. Have had some good results. However, I still cannot remember most of my childhood, only the abuse. I was the "mistake". Parents had the boy, then the girl. Oops, then there was me. And my mother made it very clear that I was not lovable, even in the womb, because as she said "you were all elbows and knees", even while she carried me My sister had so many health issues (physical and developmental), so I was tasked with caring for her, even though she was 2 years older. It sounds weird, but my sister did teach me a lot about conditional Love! She passed in 2016, and I still wonder If I could have done more to protect her. Ok, back to childhood. My mother was very abusive, mentally, verbally, physically. And, a relative (great (?) uncle) physically abused my sister and me. Ok, I had a car crash Feb 14th 2017. Young gal on cell phone, destroyed the car I LOVED, and set in motion a lot of insurance issues. Then, my husband got ill , went into hospital June 6th. Oh my, intense work until he passed October 30 same year. Ok, will stop now. But will say, I LOVE you! I am doing the High five in my mirror every morning. Joan

I learned that I could study the trauma that occurred in my life over and over and get a good grasp on understanding the sources and triggers...but in the end, it was mindfulness meditation that helped me finally let go. It is important to understand the past experiences if they impact present moment health and wellbeing, but ultimately I had to learn to let go. Books like "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels and "Awareness" by Anthony del Mello helped a lot...i think they're both on amz. Escaping the mind is so important.

[@sandrakreul9617]

Mel, I will never forget the first time I heard you speak. I was at a 3-day conference. It was day #3, just after lunch, I was mentally drained and did not want to attend the afternoon sessions. With a less than positive attitude, I went into the conference, took out my notebook (going through the motions) and was waiting (annoyed). And the introductory rah-rah started....."stand up and let's give Mel Robbins a warm welcome". And in short order, I felt like you talking only to me, everyone else in the room disappeared. I put my pen down and was so connected to you and every word. Since that day, I have told thousands of my patients about you, the 5-Second Rule and you have helped so many people. More recently, my 27-year position at work was eliminated and I was devastated. I do know that that door was closed for a reason and God will open the next one. But this is terrifying to live through as I think about starting my own concierge medical practice. When I saw this Take Control is another sign that I meant to open this door. Every time I think I can't, I start my countdown from 5 and move on. From the bottom on my heart.....Thank YOU!! I pray one day I can meet you in person and give you the biggest hug (I am sure full of tears on my part).

When Mel was going back and forth from the times with her brother and friends playing outside and the assault when she was a child, I also wonder if, beyond it being how we are wired to be on alert, could the pulling down to the unpleasant feelings and emotions have to do with the fact that our younger self, the child that never had the issue resolved, has been waiting for that healing and resolution for DECADES and so, while painful, is familiar and the happier feelings are new and scary?

Why does anxiety always blamed on child hood trauma? I didn't have childhood trauma, but I suffer from never ending anxiety and over worrying. I am 70 years old with Alzeimers so is all this causing my anxiety?

[@fernmartine3772]

One explanation could be that according to Medical News today (2018) researchers found that increasing symptoms of anxiety were linked to higher levels of beta amyloid which is a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease. The protein form plaques in the brain blocking nerve cell communication (American Journal of Psychiatry) which affects memory, thinking & behavior. The article also suggests that previous studies of anxiety & depression might be indicators of Alzheimer's.

Sounds like inner child work which is similar to ACA/ACOA work. Wounded child. The part about addiction is so true. 12 years clean but only 7 emotional healthy. Respectfully i aint touching a psychedelic etc...i believe it can be done on my own via esoteric spiritual work. Meditation exercise for sure. Im lost in my own brain...I need to reach my higher brain. I keep getting closer. I'm at the point that physical pleasure/ world isn't getting it done. I am in search of my spirit my inner brain or even my soul. I probably sound like a nut! Very Matrix like ! I am tween two worlds. Its baffling.

[@howardhdavidson]

Anxiety is life or living some can’t live with it as all they do doesn’t seem to work out for them or actually doesn’t work out for them .They make the wrong choices or have bad judgment . Not necessarily in all parts of life , you can be highly successful in business or work but very unsuccessful in your relationships or socially .So you harbour on the side you are unsuccessful at and it gives you anxiety .None of us are totally complete , some of us understand how fragile life is . Ignorance is bliss comes to mind .
