About Me:
I’m Emma McAdam. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have worked in various settings of change and growth since 2004. My experience includes juvenile corrections, adventure therapy programs, wilderness therapy programs, an eating disorder treatment center, a residential treatment center, and I currently work in an outpatient therapy clinic.
In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love www.churchofjesuschrist.org/c...

I have a fear of writing comments, so here I am doing so. My irrational fear that everything I do is being judged and the constant avoidance of taking initiatives is ruining my life. I’m so grateful for these tips, they make you realize not to avoid but to sometimes make yourself comfortable. I love the analogy of comparing your fears to the muscle building. I hope I can leverage these tips and become better soon. :)

[@Coinmancer]

Yes and I would like to add it is not the sign of a "weak mind" but rather a super powerful mind that makes a lot of impact

[@taranextstop]

Made me cry so much. I am not exaggerating, tha k you

[@platinumstorm2521]

@@Coinmancer when you think about it, anxious people have some of the strongest minds. When you look at it from this perspective, anxious people's minds are so strong as they are powerful enough to convince their own brain that they are in danger. Although it's not beneficial to think in the sense of worst case scenarios and anxiety. If you were to change how you use the fear and power of anxiety (that we give it) think of what crazy and amazing things we could do if we used our brains in another way?

My anxiety was based on One only thing: self-worth. After unlearning and re-learning new beliefs about myself I discovered my old long repressed Anger. When people say 'The Truth will make you free' in my case it's actually Anger will make me free.

[@shyaaammeneen63]

Agnie, The only permanent way to beat anxiety is meditation because meditation reprogrames the mind and helps you relax without stress. On Google search engine enter "alternate nostril breathing meditation videos" and do the simple meditation for 10-15 minutes twice a day or even more. This can also be done sitting on a chair. Lot of negative thoughts will come but anxiety and stress will reduce in a few days. To know the benefits enter "Benefits of alternate nostril breathing meditation " on Google search. Do the above meditation regularly. Do not stop. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Best wishes.Shyaaam-Life Coach.

[@wickedcrypto6004]

I been on medication for about 1 year now. Honestly the medication made me feel worst before I could feel normal again. I never had a traumatic event. I was always smiling with a great sense of humor so I have no Idea what trigger it. As a teen I did martial arts and lots of meditation but nothing could get me ready for this. My first anxiety episode was at 33 and I was hospitalize. They couldn't find nothing wrong with me. My Doctor said I had some form of anxiety. Since I been exercising again and meditating on a whole different level! I try to be more aware of my surrounding and turn of the light in my room when ever I feel overwhelm. I don't like living with anxiety but I don't let it control me either and its so hard to do. I sometime start crying out of no where but when my tears are all gone I feel brand new I feel better. Life is beautiful and anxiety perhaps has humble me. Its like learning how to walk again. Thank you for this video.

[@RichSProducer]

I'm going through exactly the same thing right now at 35. Life was awesome and I was waking up excited to learn and do new things. Loved to lift weigths (still do) and started meditating this year. Then something happened and now reality itself is scary and every minute can seem like a lifetime. It's always comforting to see I'm not alone...atleast bitcoin is doing well 😊

[@wickedcrypto6004]

I love weightlifting as well. Exercise can help especially cardio. Make sure to read the fine print on the label of supplements. I had to get rid of a lot of things I was taking like coffee and certain supplements that were affecting my blood pressure and trigging my anxiety. Chamomile tea helps in the morning and in the night. I’m here to help bud if anything. Sometimes the best source is talking about it.

[@RichSProducer]

@@wickedcrypto6004 That made me smile, man :) I've been having the same blood pressure issues connected with the anxiety/panic. I actually only started drinking coffee over the last year and I stopped it the day this all started since I knew it would just make things worse. The most "real" I feel during all of this is when I'm lifting, without a doubt. Going to try and get some sleep now, but I'll hit you up for sure. Thanks the awesome reply!

i CAN do hard things, i do them constantly, and i overcome them. Usually, the things i was most anxious about wind up coming and going without being even half as harrowing as my anticipatory anxiety made them out to be... but it rarely registers as a success for me, or as a "facing my fears" kinda moment - i just feel haggard after, and judge myself for how hard the thing was for me emotionally, when it clearly shouldn't have been. I guess the step i am missing is giving a judgement free space for my feelings. instead i just get angry with my own emotions most of the time. as if my feelings were an annoying weeping child and i wanna has as little contact with as possible... thanks for the thought provoking videos.

I can't clean like I'd like to, ie. to PERFECTION!!

Mary Widener, For more relief sit on a chair or on the ground and do the simple alternate nostril breathing meditation twice a day for 5-10 minutes for relief from anxiety as it reprogrames the mind. This is practiced all over the world. Watch the videos on Google search. Inhale-exhale slowly and feel the relaxed feeling flowing in your mind and body. . Negative thoughts will reduce. Make meditation a daily habit and enjoy life. Shyaaam Sir-Mentor-Counselor.

I have been suffering with social anxiety for a very long time now, it just feels like everytime I get into a new friendship I can’t feel comfortable about myself in that friendship because of feeling inferior or more dumb than the other person I’m with. I don’t know what I can do to fix that, the rabbit hole is already really deep but this video was helpful and I appreciate that ❤
