Doctor Snipes, you are like a wise mother. I feel as if you know everything about my childhood and how to heal from the abuse and dysfunction of it. You explain everything so clearly in your videos and I value and treasure your wisdom and intelligence. I in my mid forties am learning so much about myself, relationships, and how to be a happier, mentally healthier person. Thank you for your gifts to the world! I tried to make a donation, but I kept getting an error message.

So welcome! I appreciate you watching!

Dr. Snipes....you have helped me so much this past year after I went no contact with my narcissistic family. I sit and binge watch your videos like a student. I used your information to post on Facebook to help other people healing from trauma. I share your videos. I just wanted to sneak in here and say that. I think you're adorable. Thank you for doing what you do

[@DocSnipes]

You’re so welcome. Thank you so much for sharing the videos. I am so grateful for that and I appreciate you watching. What is your favorite tip from the video?

[@andersdatter7993]

I look at a lot of your videos to teach me things for my job, but I come to find that you help me learn a lot for myself. Not just for others. So, thank you for making this podcast.

[@DocSnipes]

Glad to help

[@redxenomorph69]

I love listening to your videos. They have been helping me through my separation with my husband that I am experiencing right now. CBT, DBT, co-dependency, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression topic videos. I listened to others too, but more so of the ones I mentioned above. Please keep up the great work. 💟💟💟

[@DocSnipes]

So glad I am able to be of help to you!

[@ethancropp600]

Hope you're doing better, guided meditations can be very helpful, the first one I ever did happened to be so good for me, haven't found another like it since but they are short and are not bad. You know how sometimes you scroll and pick a random video that is meant for you to hear... Stay strong.

[@sylvie5894]

Finding this video is very on-time for me tuning in and protecting my self physically. I have a fear that someone threatens my physical safety to get control over me emotionally and this is all "stuff" from the past as well as the present. I have a stalker and I need to stand up to him as I work to get my emotional and physical safety problem healed I did not feel physically safe as a child unless I was doing what my father wanted in service to him. Thank you for helping me get in touch with this as well as even helping me get to a place where I can finally start to address it.

Very helpful and informative...Could you please do a detailed session on schema therapy..

[@CynthiaSchoenbauer]

Instead of others using my emotions against me, in this video you empower me to use my emotional messages to create good things for me as they can be pointers to what I need. EMPOWER is the big word here instead of pity, mock, use, dismiss, and degrade me for my emotions and, for that matter, vulnerability, which is used in a competitive culture.

Living with a 20 year driving phobia (and I drive daily). I’m hoping these tips will help.

[@DocSnipes]

Thank you for watching. What tips from the video are you going to use first to start addressing your phobia?

[@alexv3559]

Hi Doctor Snipes. I would like to turn your attention to the mathematical formula, and offer an updated formula. Current model: Hours x Intensity / total hours. Revised Model: Hours + Intensity / 24hours When 24hours is included, it covers the entire day. Answer would be: 0.354 I understand there are lots of students watching you. It is important for the client to have the rules at which stage to input 1 or 4, to be explained very well with consistency like you have. Thank you for the video, I have watched almost 10hours of your content, not including pausing to write down notes. And have made huge progress towards improving my mental health. Thank you so much once again!

[@DocSnipes]

You’re so welcome! I appreciate you watching the video and I am grateful to be of help. What is your favorite CBT tool?

[@alexv3559]

@@DocSnipes Daily entries with time and day is what was the most helpful with identifying the feeling, and not pushing it aside. Stopping and taking the time to write it down was key. The intensity levels and duration i will start today. This will help me see progress

The colors in your dress make me go on a "mental vacation". Very pretty, warm (like tropics) and anti-depressive for me! 🌴 If I had a kindergarten teacher, I would want her to look just like you and be as kind and attentive as you would be. I guess this is my imagery! Thank you, Doc. You make me feel calm enough to have my little child come back and want to both play and learn.

What if you don't trust people like when I have anxiety--how do you be yourself with them? I think evil is in them because they don't identify my fear during my anxiety. If I believe that the truth is false, how can I listen to you with belief. I am a paranoid schizophrenic and being honest is not who I think explains me if I were to discuss myself with you. The psychiatrist in my first hospitalization in a psychiatric ward took away my metal utensils for eating when I told her I felt like harming others in a friendly way after her query of me. I don't know but they got rid of me from a DBT class in my program for the mentally ill for some reason--they didn't want to let me know what they think is my conclusion.

Dr.Snipes what about pot and nicotine smells from my neighbours that is very stressful and I cannot help the situation?!?

[@Sophies.3333]

Well that’s good for you I guess

[@DocSnipes]

That stinks (literally)! You might consider putting air fresheners in your AC vents, or using a scented lotion or cream if you are able so that is what you are smelling. An air purifier with an ionizer might also help, but those can get pricey. Here are some other suggestions from YT kzbin.info?search_query=block+smells+from+neighbors+apartment

What about desensitization to secondhand smoke? Being in a room with a smoker is the worst. It is an all- or-nothing situation. Leave or stay.
