"Self care isn't selfish" is a HARD lesson to learn. My therapist has been wonderful in getting me out of the mindset that self care is bad (I am learning). Also, if you are saying the word "should"...I should do this, I should do that...it is a negative statement towards yourself. Something else I am learning. Thank you for validating that it is ok to do nothing and take a break. :)

Comparison is just a walk on a slippery rock. I've heard it said before from others, or sometimes from my own head, hey, that person really has it together, wish I could be like they are. A couple of times, when I've gotten the chance and felt brave enough to ask this pedestal occupying person how they have managed to have such a good handle on life, the answer has been, and I'm paraphrasing, ha, what makes you think I have my life together, I'm just as screwed up as anyone else! Sometimes having your idolizing balloon pop in your face can sting, but it might also bring some perspective.

#2 is totally me 🙋‍♀️ basically feel like a single mother. Hubby started his own business and works 18 hours a day and I have no car so I'm basically stuck at home all day with my baby. I don't have any friends around here. I do sometimes walk to the park but it's hard 🙁 I have been diagnosed with adjustment disorder with depression/anxiety due to everything going on in my life and meeting with my therapist has been sooooo amazing, thanks to telehealth. But he just told me last week he's taking a different job and I can't follow him because of a non compete. I was very sad when he told me but I think it'll be ok overall. Thanks for listening stranger 🙃

@duck7237 4 года назад

That's got to be really difficult and I'm sorry that this is your experience right now. I hope that you make a friend or two on your walks really soon. I'm very introverted but I have met some wonderful people during my morning walks. It sounds like therapy was very worthwhile for you and so I hope that you are able to find the courage to settle in with a new one. Good luck to you. Sending love.

@toni2309 4 года назад

I really like your answer on that eight question. Yes to therapists needing to ask questions. I wish mine asked more of them. I personally used to feel very lonely because, essentially, I just didn't know how to communicate with people and I couldn't relate to anyone. I still feel lonely sometimes because I kinda want feedback and bounce off ideas, but I can't actually focus on conversations, can get too tired to actually talk and get overstimulated really quickly, so usually while I want to be with people, actually being with people isn't a feasable option.

@_maia_m 4 года назад

I used to feel lonely because I felt like I had no friends who shared my interests, so even though I was around people, I never got to talk about and share the things that mattered to me the most. Instead I just tried to pretend like I was genuinely taking part in the conversations they had. And I think both my daughters feel the same way sometimes. That's a great thing about online communities, though, cause it makes it easier to find people you can connect with. Also, my oldest daughter had a really great teacher who recognized that in both her and another student, who was also an introvert, so she introduced them, and now they're best friends! And to the person who asked the question, if you see this: maybe there's someone you could talk to in school, like a school nurse or councelor? And maybe, if that would be relevant to you, your teacher knows if there are any other students who are similar to you in personality or interests, and you could be introduced. Either way - there are many ways to find connection, and YOU are lovable and great and interesting just the way you are!

@toni2309 4 года назад

@@_maia_m I'm actually connecting more online than offline, but I also somewhat still find it stressful. Like, I get stressed about whether or not and when people will respond. I get stressed about feeling like I have to respond immediately. I get stressed about not being clear enough and being misunderstood. But then, I'm not good at looking outside my own bubble, so if I don't talk to people, I get stuck.

@toni2309 4 года назад

I'm really looking forward to your book. Your answer on question number three makes me think that maybe it could be insightful, as you say that we are allowed to call things that are not necessarily life-threatening traumas.

@_maia_m 4 года назад

I agree! You can be traumatized even if you don't fear for your life or serious physical harm. Yesterday my therapist told me about how traumas can be when you sense a danger, not only to your body but also to your soul/emotions/psychological health. It can be so easy to downplay the seriousness of situations that are damaging in other ways than physically.

@larag1764 4 года назад

I particularly enjoyed your intro (what you referred to as your 'ramble') reminding us of the need / value of stopping and resting. So important and yet to easy to forget to do so.

I’m doing the same thing with social media, unfollowing a lot of folks and spending less time scrolling and more time on living MY life. I do find it helps me greatly! I always love the terms I catch on you podcast that maybe I haven’t heard before. On this episode, “Toxic Positives” jumped out at me. Oh my gosh! THAT’S what my Mom did to me my entire life. She would never allow me to emotionally feel my way through anything. When I was diagnosed with tongue cancer 8 years ago and lost not only most of my tongue but my 25 year career singing, voice over work and commercial spokesmodel work, she would tell me that I just needed to “think positive.” It was a HUGE trigger. I lost my life as I knew it...my body, my brain and career had been annihilated by chemo and radiation. So much emotional and physical pain (and a lot of medication) and I was just supposed to “think happy thoughts?!!!” Ugh!! Puffer Fish Bonanza! 🐡 Thank you for this terrific Q & A! Much love!

@MelodicDinosaur Год назад

You see, I do technically have friends, it's just harder to connect with them the more I connect with myself and remember my trauma. I'm just very aware that my experience is outside of what's expected and what feels acceptable to most people, and I'm getting less OK with pretending "I have this thing called DID that makes me a bit wobbly but I'm fine really".

@kaia8167 4 года назад

About question 6, for those who feel the same and are trying to figure out why, I have this same issue and maybe sharing my reasons could shed some light for someone. The first reason I think this happens, for me, is because I grew up with parents who really didn't know me, didn't have any real curiosity about me or my life. My whole family was like that, actually, they just knew absolutely nothing about who I really am. When someone is really paying attention to me, when they're validating me, I have the urge to roll my eyes because in my mind I can't help but interpret their words as fake and meaningless. They don't know me. They don't know anything about me. Sometimes my therapist would say something like this, and there would be this sudden feeling of disconnect. Like there's instantly a wall between us, because anyone showing me that kind of attention must be faking it because they just happen to be in a good mood or something, and they must not know anything about me or care to know anything about me. I just have this immediate association with my family and how I always felt around them growing up. Completely disconnected and never truly seen. The second reason I think it happens is because I can't stand anything the makes me look or feel childish. My abusive dad would tell me that I'm selfish and need to grow up all the time. When someone tells me things like I see you, what you're feeling is completely valid, I just think 'yeah, I already f***ing knew that, I'm an adult'. It feels patronizing, and that makes me feel childish, and that makes me feel triggered and so I push back mentally. I don't know if that makes sense or resonates with anyone, but I thought I'd put it out there.

@kamaliancirranoush1916 3 года назад

That makes total sense! I’m almost 40 and just now realizing that my assumption if someone is nice or positive toward me that they are probably lying, is not true. It is hard to get out of that, but then I realize that I grew up with a pathological liar, and that is my context of interaction with the world. The good news is that not everyone is a pathological liar, and there are actual nice kind people in the world and I strive to be one of them every day.

I appreciate you saying it's okay to feel the way we feel. My mom's feelings are always getting hurt and it's always only about her feelings. The other close people in my life are big on thoughts not feelings, especially my brother as a backlash to my mom using her feelings to manipulate us. I've even heard therapists or online videos big on not talking too much about our feelings

@karimaogden3875 3 года назад

OMG! I relate so much to the sadness we feel with the loss of a dream! My husband's illness came at a time when I was beginning to achieve my life's dream and put a permanent halt on it! When I have tried to bring it up in therapy before, I have been made to feel that I am being selfish for feeling like that and that I should concentrate on my husband's mental health because "it's not his fault he has that illness". We the caregivers are supposed to sacrifice our whole lives for the sake of our partners and deal with our stresses on our own because they can't handle any stress! I have no outlet for my stress because if I mention it to my husband, he then feels guilty about it and becomes suicidal and tells me I would be better off without him. I feel trapped!

@marionoschelmuller1718 4 года назад

I don´t find thought stopping very effective. I mean I do sometimes the "whatever" and then move on, but what i feel works better for obsessive thinking is: Just nocicing your thoughts and saying to yourself "Thinking" after every thought. It will make you annoyed after the tenth sentence but you gotta stick with it. Also what works better mostly is just doing something that will change what your brain is taking in from the environment: Get out of the house, go for a walk. Draw something. Watch a movie. Take a shower. Call a friend. Whatever. If you just do that without enforcing that your thoughts have to change they probably will automatically or if not it will be a lot easier to say "I can let this go for now". Maybe that helps sb.

A friends family has offered me a place to stay and help if things go badly, so I’m nervous but willing to risk it. But anyways, I’m just here to say I love these videos because I can pretend I’m actually getting help or am in therapy. Like I’ll ask the questions that best fits my situation out loud then play that section of the video to hear Kati’s answer as if she’s talking back to me. I don’t care if that’s stupid or whatever, it’s all I have and I’m thankful for that. Stupid or not, it helps.

Stop thinking negative things about myself doesn’t help if I know most people don’t like something about me. It’s not just a belief. For example, people with acne problems. No one prefers acne or is attracted to acne. Not thinking bad things about your own acne won’t change the fact that it limits your options when you’re dating therefor it’s difficult to not hate the acne and hate yourself for having it is that makes sense

As a super introverted person, why is it different never being alone when the person you're around is your partner, vs friends, etc? I used to be able to never be alone because I "shared" my alone time with my partner, and it was still just as rejuvenating as if I was alone. The reverse was also true: if my partner wasn't around for a while, my alone time wasn't as rejuvenating.

It's hard to take a "time off" when you are your husband's only caregiver who has a very severe case of Bipolar Disorder with Psychotic features who has relapses every 6 months even though he is med compliant. He's currently hospitalized for the second time this year. Coronavirus set him off big time. Have been doing this for the past 28 years. Been married 32 years. I dread anniversaries because it reminds me of how my life is being sucked away by his illness and I see no relief in sight. Have tried several therapists through the years and haven't found anyone that really understands the dynamics of being in a marriage where one person has severe mental illness. I have never felt understood, accepted and validated by any of them. Wish I could talk to someone like Kati but there aren't a lot of therapists in my area.

I feel very lonely… I have a very small support system and it’s looking like my sister can no longer be part of my support system. You could say go to your friends but I really can’t.. and I actually tried to today and I called them because I was in so much distress and I was met with voicemail from 2 different people. 😞 I feel like all I really have left are hotlines and resorting back to strangers on the internet again…. I have a therapist but it’s getting to the point that she can no longer support my journey anymore because of cultural differences. She doesn’t understand racial issues I experience and when I start talking about them to her she immediately tells me she can’t help me or she doesn’t know what to say… so now I have to get a new therapist. I had to fire my doctor for the same reason. It’s really upsetting and I feel so alone. I feel unheard and dismissed and like my opinions and emotions don’t matter and like no one can understand. Sometimes I feel if I were to die people would regret the way the treated me or regret dismissing me and truly understand after I’m gone and regret not being there for me when I needed them the most 😞. And no I’m not going to commit suXci3 I just feel that way. I just wish I had someone on my side… I feel like I have to suffer alone. And I’ve felt this way for a long time. I was getting better because of therapy but now my therapist isn’t a good fit anymore. I feel like because of that and the lack of support I already have I will fall back into depression and become suicidal again because I feel like there’s no escape to the loneliness and constant pain

Hi, I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone.

I have no support system and I don't know how to find one ? I am feeling like no one cares unless you have something they want. I also am wondering just how toxic I am!😢

Where do you post the questions to ask???

@amberlangbehn5236 3 года назад

It's because it hurts so bad everytime we let someone in they lie and they leave and after so many abandonment it hurts like nothing anyone can say I just dont believe it. Always triggered and the untrust is like a wall over 6 feet of my whole self when people talk it's just fake and hallow.

this was really interesting to listen to (i mean it), but. no answer to question why are you wearing headphones... 😩

Everytime I see you on AKA I look at your clothes, look down at what im wearing, and thinking this does not look as good as what she is wearing, walk to my closet inspired to put on something better, open the closet, loose the inspiration and go back :p :p

I don't want to sound too hostile but why is the answer to "I have social anxiety and have no friends" always join classes and groups. Not a single video I've seen on this issue seems to understand our address the question. " I have social anxiety" my immediate thought is always I'm not joining a class because I have social anxiety. In the thought of going to a class and trying to talk to people I don't know or trust fills me with dread. I'm not interested and not doing it. I suppose people like me have no hope of overcoming or changing our mindset in this regard

With OCD you usually don't identify with the thought.

I prefer to call it An Unconstitutional Imprisonment, because that's what it is. Quarantine is when you separate SICK people for medical treatment. Imprisonment is done with HEALTHY people. This is home imprisonment without an ankle monitor.
