Thank you for speaking out about your health scare. I know you must be nervous , I wish you only the best. Cancer is so scary. Love and hugs
Wishing you the best on your journey and a happy and peaceful holiday season!
I am so grateful to you for all of the knowledge and information you have shared. It has helped me immensely. Wishing you, your family, and everyone at the clinic a very Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. May 2025 bring expected and unexpected blessings to you all.
❤🫂🍀
I only just found your videos recently but have already grown fond of you. I do think this video will be impactful but thought I should say that every video you post changes/touches the lives of so many. They have certain helped me understand myself. We wish you all the best.
I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. That must be really hard to take in and deal with. I really hope it all works out, you get treated and are okay. Thanks for making the video. I don't have a prostate, so not super relevant for me personally, but it is good to spread awareness. Wishing you all the best and good luck on your journey.
You're most welcome Dr. Mike & thank YOU...continued LOVE & PRAYERS!!! ♥️🙏🏼😻🦆🙏🏼♥️
Thank you so much for sharing this and being so vulnerable. Wishing you best of luck during your recovery process. Wanted to be another voice in the crowd expressing gratitude for what you do and how important and appreciated it all is. 🍀
Thank you for your awesome and informative work this year ! Best wishes and hoping for health 💗
Thank YOU so so much! 💚 And you too, take as great care man!
Thank you for giving so much to us all. Take care and have plenty of R and R. All best to you and those you love.
Hugs ❤ to u gentle champion
Thank you, Dr. Mike for all the years of encouragement and learning. Wishing you and everyone at the CTAD clinic a happy and healthy 2025
I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis, I understand how scary this must be. Thank you for sharing it with us. You're an inspiration for me and many others and I'm wishing you all the best with your recovery. And if you need to take off time from TH-cam to look after yourself please do so!!
All the best from Canada 🇨🇦 Mike! See you in the New Year!
Dear Dr.Lloyd, thanks for your oppenness and sharing such a personal video. I wish you lots of strength for the coming weeks and the best treatment and all you need just now. Take care.
Your work helped me a lot. Especially in the times before I found my therapist. Thank you so much! Now I wish you the best professionals on your side, to guide you through this. I am sending love and all best wishes to you and your loved ones. ❤
Wishing you all the best!
Oh what friendly and fun friends to help you with a smile and giggles. This is a trauma for you and most if not everyone on your channel understands what that is like. We appreciate your concern and care for us and know that we see you. You matter for who you are as a person. Please remember to put on your oxygen mask before helping us to put ours on. 🦆🐈🙏🏻
Hang in there, brother. It's OK to be scared about this.
Thank you for this cute video for the year end 🙂 Happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year 💕
Oh wow! I am so sorry you are going through this-and deeply moved by your inclination to help others at a moment when life has become scary and hard for you. I am wishing for the best for you as you navigate through this and will be one of the many, many hearts here in your YT forum that is rooting, praying, and wishing healing thoughts for you.
Hello, Dr. Mike. Like others here, this is my first comment on TH-cam. I wish you all the best for your current challenging phase, and thank you for your honesty in your last video. Your videos on OSDD/DID have been part of my support system and assisted me in reaching final fusion a few months ago. Thank you so much. It is wonderful. It is a joy. My world is full of colour now and the past is in the past. I wish the cancer journey on no-one, but it was found early and your video may egg other men on to get themselves checked out and catch the Big C before it's too late. In particular I'm thinking of any male victims out there who may follow your channel. The world could do with more people like you! I wish you and your family peace in the coming holiday period and all the best for the upcoming medical journey.
Hi Dr Mike. Thank you for allowing us to be with you in your journey to healing physically and emotionally. I don't know about your relationship with a higher power. I believe that God the Father is in your presence and I pray for healing, comfort, wisdom, strength and courage be provided to you and your family during this journey. I had a friend in your very position in preparation for a mission trip. I believe that he was also at stage 2. Mike is very alive and one would never know what he faced without an open conversation. I am praying the same for you. You encourage and educate trauma survivors everyday and hope that you will find that some of your previous messages will also be an encouragement to you. Please take good care of you knowing that you are in the thoughts and/or prayers of so many you have served through who you are and what you share.
I’m so sorry Mike. Your vulnerability in this video really moved us. Even at the worst of times you are still showing up to help encourage others to take care of themselves! It’s a tribute to your humanity. Please know that you have thousands of little people (& me), wishing you well and sending up prayers. Please take care of yourself.
Hi Dr. Mike- thank you for courageously sharing this with us. I pray for the best outcome possible for you. Cancer diagnosis is really nerve wracking and when I see you scared it helps me to see you more fully as a person and somehow it adds extra meaning to all the work that you do. I don’t have a way to support you except writing this, and encouraging others (and myself) to get their health exams, which I promise to do.
I am so sad to hear about this. You are a really incredible person, Dr. Lloyd. Thank you for all you do but I hope you can take all the time you need for yourself during this difficult time. I appreciate you talking about this though. It’s wonderful you look out for others so much, and are using this experience to educate others about prevention and early detection. I’m just happy to see you look out for yourself too. I wish you all the best moving forward in your recovery. ❤
I’m so sorry Dr. Mike. Thank you for sharing this and I hope you’ll fully recover. Take care 🙏
Thank you for sharing this with us, and in such a vulnerable way. Your channel has been life-changing for us and how we approach DID, and we can't emphasize enough how much we appreciate you being here. Fuck cancer. Hopefully this battle is short and successful!
I'm so sorry to hear this news. Thank you for sharing it. All the best and big hug
Thank you for all your hard work this year. It all helped save us and helped us get the courage to move to Dunedin (known as the Edinburgh of the South, here in New Zealand). It is a summer Christmas here, hope you get to have a holiday here one day. Hope the Season treats you well. Sending lots of love to you, your family, the cats and the ducks. Take care 🫶 and rest up.
❤❤❤ Thank you for your care. You have served loyally! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
People with autism are also taken advantage of more often. And bullied, excluded, mocked, and abused more often. 😢
Thank you for ALL you do! You wisdom, experience and truth have helped me navigate my D.I.D. and complex trauma. I pray for you every single day!❤❤❤
Your information and instruction have helped me tremendously, Dr. Mike! You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through everything your situation entails. I trust that your health will be renewed, restored, and regenerated. May you be blest with great treatment; may you have awesome support from those near and have strong courage every day. Blessings
Thank you for all your work over the last few years. I have found your channel helpful as I start my own clinical practice in trauma treatment. Take good care of yourself. My prayers are with you.
Seeing you into the new year Dr. Mike!
Merry christmas 🎄 and lots of strength for the next year!
Prayers for you in Jerusalem. ❤
Thank you so much for your brilliant work, Dr. Mike Loyd!!! Now the best health for you and your family - forever, and sustainably!
Many thanks for the videos. I can't explain how much they have. helped and validated me.I am now going to quote you by saying 'please take great care' of yourself and each day as it unfolds. Sending love and appreciation. ❤x
Hello Mike, thank you very much for your dedication and commitment to continue disseminating and educating with information related to the field of Dissociation and Dissociative Disorders. I was fascinated by your videos and comments on the subject, you were truly an example for me of a good therapist committed to his work. I wish you a good end of the year and greetings from Argentina! 🇦🇷
I am very disappointed in this particular video. Isn't Christmas THE period where people with DID meet their trauma-family??? So it's NOT over, it's NOT in the past, yes you can be triggered and you will. I was really hoping this video would deal with what to do when one has to visit the family for Christmas, to meet the parents or other members of the family who abused you, to sit with them, to eat with them acting as if nothing has really happend or still is happening.
I think Dr Mike made it clear this video wasn't supposed to covering the normal type of content and he's wrapping up the videos of this year, I imagine partially because he has to concentrate on himself now, after getting a big shock with his cancer diagnosis... There are videos he's done in the past about the holiday season and how triggering it can be... there are at least 2... one of them is from 1 or 2 years back... Here's one made recently: th-cam.com/video/ta8JtJlyMoQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5XCsDnHDSZzIoF3- Let's let Dr Mike see to his needs now and not cater for everyone else at this hard time...
Dr. Mike made so many great videos the last couple of years. Not every video can please every single person in the same way. I thought this video was a nice idea. Hope you overcome this Christmas with strength
The best resilience I learnt for surviving holidays is to say NO. Christmas is time to spend with my parts and my husband, family isn’t allowed into our sacred space. It’s stressful the first couple of years because of the push back but eventually they gave up and now it’s just peaceful. It’s Dr Mike’s time to heal too.
I'm appalled that you're judging this video so harshly. Dr Lloyd really has other things to worry about right now. I'm impressed that he's making a video at all despite his fear and shock because of this diagnosis. a little compassion would certainly be appropriate now!!
I'm sorry you are triggered by the holiday season that really sucks and I know how hard that can be but dr mike was just diagnosed with cancer so maybe you can cut him some slack for not catering to YOU and YOUR needs at this time. In my opinion this is a perfectly lovely video which I enjoyed and brought a smile to my face in an otherwise challenging time for me. I'm sorry it did not provide the same for you but if you look on his page you'll find plenty of other videos that can help you with dealing with triggering situations
Your videos have really helped me, I'm so sorry to read your news, wishing you a quick recovery, take care of yourself x ❤
Even if no one sees this your videos have changed lives.
I experience vision loss, paralysis, severe dystonia, mutism, unintelligible speech, feels like a stroke in my brain at times, it’s wild. I also experience agonistic muscle pair contractions which can be severely painful.
