6:21 🤔 She CLEARLY has low self- esteem and is attention seeking. Putting her own things aside to make a cake for a friend’s birthday. She doesn’t need counselling. She needs therapy.
What a splendid idea 👏They desperately need online resilience training to compensate for not having what they actually need to their job. And for having crap managers who would not raise issues up the management ladder. It’s not like the NHS is being sabotaged to make way for private clinics and hospitals. Not at all. Silly me.
That counsellor would drive me mad with her softy- softy patronising voice. Are we sure that girl hasn’t got any other stuff going tits up in her life?
Hello Judith, I would like to watch your video and learn from it but CC is not allowed on your videos. Would you be able to make the CC available? English is my second language so if the CC can be turned on, it would be very helpful.
Mine one is a rare social anxiety - I hate my same aged people. Bcoz of that I have literally 0 friends. I find them too much more energetic and active than me. My mind always thinks I won't fit among those boys and end up in failure and they will laugh at me. I hope I could find some boys like those in comment section in my locality who can understand the social anxiety difficulties to befriend with. 😢 Every boys seems like they already engaged in a friendship zone and no extra person they need

This is amazing work. I do wonder about the factors of this being more of a systemic change in the medical field. I know in America the work environment can be set to burn people out... long-term wise, how can we address the medical system being a part of why anyone in it are burnt out?
With social anxiety unfortunately it can become a self fulfilling prophecy. We scrutinize ourselves so much to the point where we judge every action, reaction, and thing we say. Undoubtedly this would make anyone feel tense and anxious. Our presentation and reaction to social situations will unfortunately isolate us. We then use that data that comes from our skewed thoughts to reaffirm as to why people will never like us. But this doesn't have to be the reality - we are not our thoughts and we don't need to prove them "true."
I didn’t understand the young girl was an actress 😳, I’m 60 and still struggling with depression which may be lots of other things 🤔, I don’t understand but I’m starting CBT tomorrow and to be honest I’m dreading it…… I can’t understand my own thoughts let alone try to explain them to someone else , but I’m determined this time I will go through the pain of talking and feeling bad rather than avoiding it , or giving up because it stops the feelings. Take care everyone going through life like this x
My social anxiety reached to the point where i don't even want to go out for work. I feel like i would get judged. I feel breathing problem when i face people. I feel lonely still I can't talked to people. I don't know how I'm going to heal. I don't know how i became like this. If you are reading this please pray for me. I don't want to live life like this way.
But bro there's some real nuance here, if she's at the point where she can put herself out there without being totally withdrawn she might actually not be worth being friends with, because social anxiety is at a core fear of expressing your true self due to risk of rejection, and what she puts out is a fake persona. And she may confuse that fake persona for herself. That's what I did the past 9 months, even knowing of that risk, and I genuinely believed and tried to be authentic.
It is a fantastic technique for sure. But sometimes people, in spite of having evidence against their perceived shortcomings, cannot overcome the anxiety. As if they are lacking in efficacy to overcome such perceptions and behavior. I wonder how can we help them build such efficacy.
I really think that all these "diseases" are a make up of Big Pharma!Like this one for example....what is wrong with a boy,a human being to talk about his experiences???He was all around stressing time with his exama and everything and fast they ll call him bipolar.BS! Or kids with ADHD!!! Good God,they invented another one .Kids are kuds,they play,they jump! If they are kids,naughty like kids are supposed to ne,they are sick in their opinion now.Givd me s break.This medicine of Rockefeler should be abolished and start again from the beggining .This is not medicine is BS.
The therapist way of talking is so irritating! Sounds like … sounds like … and just repeating what the client is saying… as she already didn’t know whats going on … sounds like a parent than someone equal and understanding Maybe its just me but i would like much more dynamic conversation as friend would Over cup of coffee
When I was sick I started to get dreams of all the Gods... when I was sick I thought it's because of I was special... when I started to get right medication I understood it's because of your constant thoughts... when you think of something 24*7 you will start to dream about that... now I know I made stupid mistakes when I was sick... said stupid things...I am a human not a goddess... now I pray for forgiveness from Creator for the mistakes...I still struggle with self love
The therapist is creating the narrative for her, asking too many questions, the client should always have tremendous space for her to talk. A therapy session must be at least 70% the client talking. She can only give short response if shes asked question after question. Everything she says doesn't need to be repeated as a therapy technique, she also need a real person to listen to her empathically and intuitively. Otherwise it feels a bit like talking with an AI. Let her go deeper and deeper with her own thoughts, never ever to be interrupted. The therapist does an amazing job at validating her feelings
I've been like this since I was 14. I'm 61 today. Good luck with "getting help." For me it's just been a chronic, apparently incurable, disease. I've had to live a lonely life. People are just as terriying as ever. Their eyes are like daggers.
Sorry for my English. I will try to best format what I’m feeling. It’s relatable what I’ve seen in the video because I feel like depression is in me for many years now. Have I talked about it to my parents, friends or teachers? All three I could say and I ended up with them saying that it will be fine, deep talks about what I’m struggling or hell, idk what’s up with my life. Oh for my parents (in a good matter), I might’ve failed them in a academic matter since I went way downhill for my first year in college. For what I’m feeling throughout the day, it’s like two versions of me. Whenever no one is around, me (the real living me) is all act up in a “narcissist “ , or opposite I should say for heading through the pathway of my future. The other me is a version kind , sweet, and heartwarming who I see is willing to help anyone out. That version being myself. I have friends that contacted me if I’m doing well or how I’m feeling. Im mad at myself for not responding to them back cause I don’t know I would feel. In addition, I don’t know how to carry a conversation cause how awkward I am. Have I considered going to a therapist? Yes. But I just don’t know where to start and where anything could lead me. I want to help myself little by little but in other words , be back where I was. Stable and helping!🙃
I remember my uni showing this video. I don't think it prepared me for the things I would hear in my first job (my first client was a convicted child sex offender).
@@fatislimi5145Sure I am glad to help, but it's a long story. I am 40 now but when I was a child I was very shy and avoided other kids, mostly because the kids at school made fun of my accent and weight. I went to counseling and the did exposure therapy with me. First step was asking what situations made me anxious, and why. Like the doctor did in this video.
@@fatislimi5145Next step was to gradually put myself in these anxious situations to get comfortable in them. It took many years (getting older helped too) before I started enjoying being in groups of people. There is no need to lose hope, you absolutely CAN overcome your anxiety. Keep pushing yourself, a bit more every time, and you will improve.
I found this video several years ago. It wasn’t until I had a recent meditation poisoning that triggered a manic suicide attempt that I deeply understand this person’s story. I have found out the hard way that any kind of strong stimulate puts me in a suicidal place. I feel lucky I went into treatment quickly. It has been almost 6 months and I am still recovering. I am no longer taking my adhd medication. Does anyone else miss the energy you had on these meds or the feelings well manic. I had times of joy and creativity. I also felt confident. The swing into the depression and overwhelming shame mentioned in the video is so difficult. Sending love and understanding to all of you going through this. Thank you for these videos and your service in breaking down stigma.
I haven't had a manic episode for 5 years now and I honestly look back at that time and really do miss the energy tbh. It just felt like a normal person just couldn't keep up with my thought process. The meds they gave me during hospitalization just drug me down, and stopped taking all drugs after I left the hospital and it's been working out for me tbh.
I worry about that in social situations. Mainly when I am filling out paperwork in front of people whil applying for a job. I get neck and head tremors. It's awful. I can't afford therapy but I need it. I didn't used to be like this. It happened to me I think after I had been through a ton of abuse and bullying.
