Sometimes we feel like we're in danger even when we're actually safe. In this video you're going to learn four skills to turn off this fear response, aka the fight/flight/freeze response, and restore a sense of calm in your body and mind.
When we believe we are in danger, our body and mind create the fear response, the same physical anxiety reaction as if we were in actual physical danger. This is the fear response, aka the fight/flight/freeze response. This keeps us stuck in FFF response (NS hyperarousal). How we think about things and how we interpret our situation creates a sense of either calm or fear.

About Me:
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, sense of security, peace, hope, and love. www.churchofjesuschrist.org/c...

Lol.

@tommyjones1357 Год назад

@@marymcinaney7242 i finally faced my fears and I’m very glad I did. As an adult, if your dentist sucks, just leave. It is very uncomfortable and the fear is in our head. You get used to the discomfort. I am getting 4 deep cleanings. Finished 3 and my teeth look great so far and my morning breath is gone! So when he’s drilling away at the teeth, I feel good knowing he’s making them healthy again. Gums went from red to pink! The last quadrant of my mouth is a nightmare compared to the three that are now clean. This was my biggest fear in life and I faced it after 20 years. Now I believe I can do anything! Honestly, it’s not the drills that scare me. It’s the shot in the back of the mouth when they numb you. It’s not pain. It’s discomfort. I mean: It’s the ultimate discomfort. But once you develop a sense of trust and have faith that the person inside your mouth is helping you in ways you cannot help yourself, you will develop an appreciation. And if it hurts, they can numb you more. By that point, you don’t even feel the needles. But the worst part is the high screech of the drill. Lol

Ive always been a positive person but bc something so tragic happened unexpectedly its hard not to be affaid of it happening again. I try to relax more often and not overwhelm myself with my triggers. ALSO being more present, focusing on the moment and being thankful for the little things in life that are actually good things. Food, nature, friends etc. Plus bible reading, prayer help a lot.

Thank you for this great video. I've been struggling with anxiety my entire life. I can't remember a time, when that wasn't controlling my life. In '19 i had a blood clot in my brain and things just had to change from then on... I'm now 44 years old, and i've come a long way since then... I think the most important thing i've realized since then, in terms of how i deal with my anxiety, is to admit to myself, that i'm no victim. Life threw me a rough hand, and it's not been easy. A lot of sh!t happened to me, and i did a lot of sh!t to myself. But i'm no victim. - And then after admitting that, i had to then start taking responcibility for myself, and my actions. And the only one that i have to hold accountable, is me... - And i had a long time, where i had a big problem comming to terms with that... I felt it to be a very egocentric way of handling things... But, really... Dealing with your own sh!t... You HAVE to focus on your ego... So it is... And that's ok... My daily anxiety have gone from a 7 or 8, to a 2 or 3... And it's also helped a great deal, that i've started doing daily exercises... As i start to feel stronger physically, i feel less anxiety... It's a good feeling... ;) But that's my little story.

@nikibee8335 4 месяца назад

I freeze and panic with men/confident people, who seem to trigger me to feel inferior and vulnerable=in danger), and then afterwards I go over it in a self-critical way, feeling shame and embarrassment over things I said or the way I acted as a result. Which then makes it even worse! I’ve lived with this all my life since suffering a lot of violence and abuse in many situations with many people. Hence many triggers. I did seek help once but the counsellor basically said she couldn’t cope with all of it! So I’ve worked on healing myself, and I have succeeded in many ways but this fear response is something that I’ve tried and failed with. I tend to forget any promises I’ve made to myself to relax and breathe when I’m in panic mode. This video resonates so strongly with me and I now have proper, structured tools to help me and to practice and I thank you so much! I’m determined not to live like this any more and I’m going to change those neural pathways to calm! Thank you 🙏 ❤

Content like this is so valuable, not just because of the educational aspect, but the fact it grounds our experiences in reality and makes us feel less alone. Sometimes in a difficult time, videos like these can make isolation lift like fog, put our experiences into context, and remind us that it is normal, temporary, and can be improved. Thank you so much.

One of the things that I’ve struggled and trigger anxiety for me in the last two months was hearing about someone passing away in their sleep...... boom that got to me and gave me anxiety! It was weird !! I also have a fractured on my rib and had discomfort, that discomfort triggered my anxiety even more because at the time I thought I had chest problems etc. These videos and seeing a counselor has definitely helped a lot. One thing that has really helped me sleep and feel calm is to keep my mind calm and not think about the future, I have to live in the moment and trust that my future is in Gods hands.

Gosh, Emma, there were a BUNCH of stressors, but Perceived Danger effected me so much!! It comes down to CPTSD Dysregulation Trauma Response, I know now, but it literally drove me mad last year! I became psychotic from survival fear! I got so afraid of my father's narcissistic need to bring me down in retribution for not telling him about all my bumps and bruises in life. He goes on sprees, calling my friends, searching for dirt on me. This time he went on a rampage to ruin me by smearing me to my professional helpers after he heard about a car accident I hadn't told him about. Why should I? I'm 57. But that threatened his control of me. The fear I have of my father grew SO BIG I just went into permanent fantasy land. It was not all but it was quite a bit made up in my projecting scary outcomes. Learning to be my own, soothing, self-talking Best Friend was my key out. My brain, eventually believed me, when I got a clue and was able to tell myself that the extreme anxiety it seemed to believe was keeping me safe, by running possible scenarios, only made it harder to respond if I was right and had to counteract his damage. Life Changing!! Unfortunately I was right, just not to the huge degree of persecution I was scared by in my mind. All this was narcissistic punishment for not telling him utterly everything on my mind so he can tear it and me apart. Was able to go No Contact for 6 weeks now and I feel Great!! Super strong. SO MUCH BETTER!

Coyotemoon, Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax. During your daily activity keep observing your breath consciously. Best part is mood swings also reduce. Do the above meditation daily to feel relaxed.

Thanks for this. As someone with high health anxiety these sort of reminders really help. My cardiophobia has really messed my me up this past year and each day I believe I am getting better. It’s amazing how our mind can create symptoms that aren’t really even there. Waking up with a 200bpm heart beat thinking I was going to die repeatedly has really made me appreciate the small things in life. Even just my shirt rubbing on my chest can trigger some panic until I remember it’s just my shirt. I swear before I knew I had anxiety, my anxiety was actually way less if that makes sense.

She is insinuating that even that stems from evolutionary fear of being abandoned and starving because the tribe rejects you. It might not feel like that's the underlying fear but from an evolutionary standpoint- she says it is. Therefore the exercise for anxiety relief is the same

I tried a lot but i think the only real way to overcome this is having new experiences until the brain ''saves'' them as reality. It is definitely possible but sometimes we have to make difficult decisions in order to change our inviroment and relationships. I haven't found the best way yet but for now, this is the most promising idea.

I have experienced similar struggles as you.My honest opinion is quality over quantity. Meaning to surround yourself with a small friend group or family that you can truly trust and feel comfortable with.Stay away from meeting and opening up to new people until you feel safe to do so.I hope this helps😊
