Parasympathetic Response: Train Your Nervous System to Turn off Stress: Anxiety Skills #11

[@ritagaston1556]

Fabulous ideas to try

[@TherapyinaNutshell]

Thanks

[@iboremytherapist]

@@TherapyinaNutshell hey where is the link to the dumb cat videos?

[@dinorahdarby4499]

I agree 100% . She has a gift to compliment her vocation. Love this channel!

[@sacredmuseproject]

@@iboremytherapist My thoughts exactly... ;)

[@talloolahmoon]

@@iboremytherapist yes. Where?

[@arenlario5296]

Here's a quick summary of techniques: 1) Meditative breathing (long slow outbreathes) 2) Mindfulness (covered in separate video) 3) Laughter (watch stupid KZbin videos) 4) Listen to your biorythms (eat when hungry, sleep when sleepy) 5) Monotasking (do one thing at a time, do it slowly) 6) Social connection (close friendships) 7) Take care of body (stretching, massage) 8) Standing on your head (heart works differently which triggers vagal nerve response) None of these techniques will solve your problems. The purpose behind these techniques is to calm you down so you can solve your problems easier. You're Welcome!

This woman's voice genuinely makes me feel calm; good skills there!

7 years of pursuit for solutions to mental health given in less than 4 minutes. This includes everything I ever found out in allopathy, Yoga or meditation and much more. Thank you

[@regalo1979]

Your voice and articulation is very calming...

[@TherapyinaNutshell]

Thanks for your comment, I always feel a little insecure about myself on camera, so it's nice to hear that it works for you!

[@Stephie788]

@@TherapyinaNutshell no, you're amazing!! Keep shining, you have a gift.

[@user-bh1mi3qc4p]

Very palming

[@Ams_lee]

I agree , your voice is calming

[@CrimeandCrafts]

Thank You so much your Voice just put me to sleep 😴 Do you Meditation and Calming voice.

[@Messi10947]

People should realise focusing on doing one thing is so crucial in reducing anxiety. Paying attention to the task at hand is really calming

[@arabellacox]

That's mindfulness

[@afifahabdulrahman177]

Monotask

[@Vestu]

Yeah like a zen monk tending a bonsai tree :)

[@Hypocritial]

So true.

[@Vestu]

But sometimes the task should be embracing the anxiety while breathing calmly. It takes power out of it. Just be with it and listen to it and question it. Sometimes it's based on a real issue or it may be based on a distorted way of thinking about some matter.

[@anaguerrerosholisticwellbe2788]

An alternative to standing on your head is lifting your legs above heart level. This lowers blood pressure too

[@KatarinaS.]

Yes, legs up the wall pose is helpful. So is down dog.

[@mar0112]

I've been almost binge-watching your videos. Learning about the parasympathetic response and these techniques has helped to make my panic attacks way less severe and frequent; not a substitute for actual therapy sessions, but sooo helpful. Thank you so much for doing these videos! x

[@elspethfougere9683]

I really appreciate your comments at the very end. I think it's the advice that's crucial, that's often missing from cheery vapid pop psychology social media insta happy posts. It's sooo important that people understand that soothing, doesn't equate to solving. Solving takes focus, and sometimes surrendering the fact that we don't have control. Or are yet to find a workable solution. It takes away guilt and shame, which also then helps calm us. Thanks for being so down to earth Emma, this is really useful and healthy information to help people stay in balance.

[@ChitchatwithApril]

Thank you for being so generous. Thank you for adding to the healing of those you touch.

[@hareram-g]

Just listening your voice 10 min a day will strengthen my parasympathetic system☺☺☺

[@EternaLivesMatter]

This is a GREAT comment. Her voice is so soothing.

[@Mrbu77on]

True 😄

[@JesusLovesEVERYTHING]

For real lol

[@jlh2737]

I can't believe you mentioned standing on your head. I have been wondering why handstands help my anxiety for the last several weeks!

[@leopold17780]

The last part is very important. I know people who do all or some of these techniques and fail miserably when they got triggered with some emotions! Thanks

[@genevanevaa4910]

Watching you alone makes me calm! Thanks for your videos !

[@nganbap9973]

You talk so calm and when I watch my stress go away.

[@eddie195777]

This lady has a very calming voice. My parasympathetic system kicked in just listening to her voice.

[@sk_s_w]

I am adding "your calm amazing voice and tone" to this list of awesome techniques! When I start watching your videos, I can feel I start to calm down a bit and also get a positive excitement for what I'm about to learn from you and get blown away! ❤

[@blazhespireski2259]

Thanks for this, much appreciated. The best video on youtube on this subject, many of the medical professionals (that you visit and pay for) will not give you this good advice in this good manner. The internet can be a powerful game-changer if we filter out the right information like these and let more people benefit from them. Thanks!

[@johnsnow5264]

Your contributions are much more significant and beneficial than reflected in the number of views you got. Thank you for this important and wonderful video.

[@StellaChilinharova]

It's amazing that you mentioned about problems.

[@fluffyspit]

Within ten minutes of watching this I tried it in real time…something someone said to me sent me in to about to cry mode…I leapt on your advice and not a tear drop! Thank you.

[@stephensvanholm]

This is super. Thank you. Yes, the long slow outbreath has always been super helpful for me!

[@jimforsyth1760]

I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. kzbin.infoUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!

[@cui.cui.]

Seriously your channel is a gem. Thanks so much for my making all that information available for free

[@Chloe-w7n]

I like to count 4 as breathing in, hold for 4, release to count of 4. Helps stop anxiety from escalating. Very good information you are sharing, thankyou.

[@TherapyinaNutshell]

yes, this is called square breathing- I made a video on it :) glad that technique works for you!

[@LilyRose-theOne]

releasing at 8.

[@johnpalgrave9331]

An exceptional and truly helpful woman . ..

[@lisjoh]

Excellent sum up at the end - the purpose of these techniques is to help calm our nervous system so we can solve our problems. We're not trying to change how we feel about those problems or escape from them. Very important point! Thank you for sharing.

[@jackierobinson8785]

Thank you for that. I had been threatened as a child that if I didn't shut up about the multiple attacks I'd been through that my mother would have these known and unknown attackers take me away again. So any hint of abandoning my feelings brings up a righteous rage in me. There is so much I yet have to learn. And with a healthy dose of self compassion and acceptance, I'll find my peace at last...

[@pearl27777]

I agree too .Your voice is calming .Thank you for your teachings.

[@alexandros1985]

Thank you so much for all these videos! I believe that many people need your help nowadays more than ever!

[@pinkgummybear766]

Monotask = ZEN MASTER . Some of my favorite things to do are painting , especially watercolor it’s so relaxing , slicing very thinly cucumbers , arranging and rearranging all my crystals, brushing my teeth, gardening, making jewelry, & preening my cats lol.

[@amyhoop9651]

Thank you for the great quick tips to calming. Even better was your advice to figure out the root cause as that is the only way to truly fix constant anxiety. I think that is key to my long term success. Thank you so much for caring and making these videos.

[@caniney]

Wow never did i know, why i felt so relaxed after stretching, or while doing a hand stand when i felt so badly stuck. From now on, calm and refocus on the thing at hand.

[@mariselaabasta4879]

This was fantastic! But I gotta say your voice was very calming!

[@imnoemit]

Inhaling and exhaling through mouth slow, is really calming and invigorating

[@isabelkassan5244]

Thank you! Very helpful! Looking forward to seeing some more of your videos. So glad I don’t really have to stand on my head but can raise my legs above my head level!

[@svenmencke9]

What a wonderful short video on how to calm down. The last part (this will not solve your problems) is the painfull truth... Thx for the vid

[@mohanty6741]

3:10 The sole reason why i thought that meditate did squat for me. Id meditate and the problem would still be their, the pain would be dulled but the actual thing that needs to be solved is still there. Thank you for this.

[@manogarenarmoogum4618]

Techniques that are worth exploring and experimenting

[@deehuckleberry3999]

I find that when I am anxious or stressed I turn to something beautiful, either watching (gardening shows or Jane Austen flicks), smelling (buying myself flowers), or creating (sewing, embroidering, painting). Internally, I can't stop the feeling that I need to do it, and I feel guilty because it feels like I am being distracted from sitting with the emotions and solving them. Afterwards, I think, why did I do that, I'm right back to anxious.

[@vanshikamukheja6513]

Stress Support Capsules have made a huge difference in my stress management. I highly recommend them.

[@lydiaozuna3751]

[@prschandran]

Fantastic illustration.. According to the Emma , one can generate hormones of your choice by triggering Parasympathetic Nervous system though conventional activities, a self-medication mechanism... Great ..

[@uke7084]

I grew up in a stressful scary environment. Our basement stairs had openings between the stairs. I would hook my legs on the underside if the stairs and hang upside down all the time. Now I know it helped me cope. Very interesting.

[@fraktel_]

I absolutely love all your videos, thank you! and this is for who might be reading.....as a person who broke her 2nd cervical for doing a bad practice of yoga for years while inverted positions. I learned.....NOPE WERE NOT MADE TO PUT PRESSURE on our heads. So try a handstand instead BUT NEVER THE HEAD.

[@ArianaGraande]

Your voice is so soothing I'm already calm and I feel safe :))

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

3.25 Or, not to help is solve our (self created, mind based ) problems, but rather to realize that there is, was or ever will be such a thing as a "problem", and we have none of it. It is just a mental game we are playing with ourselves, when we are still identified as the person/ego, thinking we are our thoughts, feelings, emotions, sense perception, memory and so on. Great tips, and thanks once again.

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

@@pattyayers Word salad for the limited intellect yes. There is no other way.

I could focus on the way her tongue curls over every time she says the word calm or calming...its mesmerising...

[@roberteberhart1139]

[@jamesfloyd1864]

Great observation!

[@Skanny11]

Thanks great snippets of advice

[@chrismackerdush7728]

The last point she made was the most important. A lot of people use such techniques as a ‘spiritual/ bliss bypass’ and think they are ‘dealing with’ their emotions. There are whole industries built around this fallacy, it’s a real problem.

[@MargheritaOrsoPletti]

I loved this video, thank you so much, really really helpful ❤

I like to unload the dishwasher and put all the dishes and silverware away making as little noise as possible. Then I reload of there are any dishes in the sink, using the same method. This really helps me focus on the moment.

[@angeladyson7367]

[@buffplums]

Your videos are amazing and so practical. What I like is you have such a way of coming over with a hidden wealth of experience knowledge and qualification which is clearly the case ... sorry not meaning to patronise.... just trying to frame something positive... I know, bless you, may you be healthy, may you be happy, fulfilled and content in your life and work..may you receive many fold blessings in return for your wonderful work. xx

Genuine Self Love ( Metta or loving yourself / your mind and body for a start ) is the solution but very few can truly guide to open the door of your heart. Videos of Eckhart Tolle or Thich Nah Hart may help
