  • How to talk to teens about anxiety. How to help teens with Anxiety. This video is for you if you are curious about how to help teenagers in therapy, or counseling, with anxiety. Or if you want to know about What to do with Teens in therapy .
    My personal ANXIETY FLASH CARDS & Teen Question Cards are now available for all of you on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/TheGrateful...
    I have been an LMFT (Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist) in the State of California for almost a decade.
    This channel is about Mental Health Awareness and Personal Growth.
    Should you be in Therapy counseling? I believe counseling is for everybody and most people can benefit from learning
    more about themselves with the support of a Therapist. Therapy is an opportunity for growth, change and healing, whether
    you are diagnosed with a clincial "disorder", or you simply want to expore ways to feel better and have healthier relationships.
    NOTE: This channel is not a substitute for treatment. If you or someone you know needs counseling, please call your MD
    and reach out for support, and call 911 if there is a psychiatric emergency. I cannot respond to a mental health crisis via youtube.
    This channel is for education, not psychotherapy. I am a licensed therapist, but I am not YOUR therapist, please find a local professional for help in your area.

    Fantastic video, I am a counsellor and I always like to educate clients on the flight or fight response. I find getting the client to challenge negative thoughts can be very helpful. Also, to talk to themselves how they would talk to someone they cared about.

    I know some people will say that they already "try to control their breath" during anxiety. How do you make sure that the deep breaths does not become a coping strategy that maintains anxiety?

    • @thegratefultherapist
      @thegratefultherapist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I practice the deep breathing with them in my office. A "deep slow breath" would not ever be a coping strategy that maintains anxiety. If they are able to focus on their breath they are out of the anxiety. They are regulating their nervous system with the breathing. When someone is in anxiety, they can only take short, quick breaths. Does that make sense? Quenby

I took for granted she knew about the fight or flight - she also mentioned breathing makes her more nervous but I agree its like you mentioned because she is taking shallow quick breaths not long slow ones.
