Psychologist? Psychiatrist? Therapist? Will they fix my anxiety?

Most people with anxiety will seek help to alleviate their suffering - it's so important to have space to talk, learn and improve your practice.
But many people have bad experiences with different professionals - so who will actually help you? Psychologist? Psychiatrist? Therapist? Counsellor?
In this video, I explain what different professionals offer, who I saw during my recovery and questions you should ask any professional you see for anxiety.

This might be a good place for me to use my difficult journey to help others who may read this: please don't let a doctor prescribe a benzodiazapine (xanax, ativan, etc.) for you for more than 3 weeks. I saw several doctors and none knew the extreme physical and mental addiction of these drugs, and I was put on a painful several year journey with even a hospital stay. The ramifications are not worth the short relief you get from these drugs. I did not understand this simple method back then. There is so much more hope this way!

Respectful to the profession, I have seen 5 different psychiatrists, some meds have definitely helped. I noticed they all have different, even opposing ideas. I have resisted psychologists, having seen one once, it was a rehearsal of my history, a trigger. Where I live, in Southern Africa, medical aid helps, but it becomes expensive to keep seeing someone weekly, that is stressful for me. After finding your videos and listening to Dr. Weeks, I decided to stop running to experts, be my own guide, apply what I think is the best, most practical, helpful advice I have heard this far. No one has ever explained it like this, and understanding has helped me a lot. I am very grateful for your videos Dr E. and the understanding you have on this topic, which, for me, spilled over to severe depression, and I have managed to deal with that exactly the same way. It's still shakey ground, but no doubt I feel a difference. Xx

I went for combo, Claire Weeks approach + Psychoterapy to work for my old believes and programming it works like a charm for me at least :)

Honestly, this channel has been the most helpful BY FAR. Nobody else says that it's adrenaline and not thoughts. So many people get trapped into believing that their thoughts are causing the problem.
