Nope.
Me too. Lol
Caution! Why dig again into old theory? We now have Evidence Based Methods that are effective treatments for most anxiety disorders, and for most depressions. Is someone making money from this obfuscation? -E. Douglas Pratt, Board Licensed Psychotherapist, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
@@edouglaspratt In what way is this obfuscation?
Joel, good question, "How is reading old theories obfuscation?" In forty years of practice as a Licensed Psychotherapist, I've seen many anxiety patients who avoided treatment for years. Many who want help for their anxiety disorder are, ironically, also especially fearful about getting help. Understandably they fear opening up the underlying pain, such as childhood trauma for example. Instead many obsess about their disorder, and about treatment, to avoid feeling emotions and to avoid treatment; many self-medicate with alcohol and other drugs; many obsessively read countless self-help books to avoid feeling emotions and treatment.
These anxiety disorder patients had become obsessed with the least threatening possibilities, hoping that insight might cure their disorder. Today Psychotherapists use Evidence Based Practices (EBP) that are scientifically proven to be effective. So, encouraging patients to spend time and money reading old theories enables their avoidance. I chose the word "obfuscation" in my previous post to suggest that promoting the reading of Jungian theory over-complicates things.
Instead, people with anxiety disorders need to hear our confidence that we offer treatments that are truly effective, and not as invasive as psychoanalysis. I hope this helps. -Douglas Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
I realized I have a lot of anxiety when I was in college. This barred me from personal growth. I didn't notice this problem until my senior in college. At that time, I wasn't happy with who I am or where I was, I wanted to change. So I started to raise my hand in class more, and took up leadership position. Of course, my anxiety was sky high, just imagine you raising your hand to ask the professor a question full of 300~400 people, or be a leader. I stuttered a lot when I ask questions, I wasn't a good leader, and you bet ppl made fun of me but ... I didn't mind. I know I wasn't perfect and these opportunities allow me to be better. I'm still struggling with my anxiety but I'm getting better... slowly.
The pain is worth it...keep going...I'm very proud of you
big up fam
Just continue
Keep going!
So proud of you !
What I wouldn't give to have found this video forty years ago. I lived this video....lived in hell for most of my life and have come out the other side a better man for it, but with the loss of my youth to middle adulthood. I had to figure it out all on my own...went to doctors...got fed lots of useless and harmful drugs and never once did anyone ever point out the simple truths of Carl Jung in this video.
It is from living the hell of this neurosis and having to find my own way out, that I can testify to the accuracy and vital information contained within this video. If you are young and experiencing these difficulties I implore you to take this video and it's recommendations to heart. It is your only hope to find your way out of hell and to a meaningful life.
As the video alludes I am one of the lucky ones...I tried to conform with my society even though I felt totally alien from it. It is only after a life of struggle I realize it was my inability to embrace my true nature and idealist and free thinker that crippled my emotions so. As I finally grew into the self I was meant to be...I did something I never ever thought would happen...I got better. Now I feel a depth of understanding of the world that I believe only few manage to achieve. Perhaps my life wasn't the utter waste I always thought it was. In the end, I found myself and the world.
To anyone experiencing this life problem do not fall into the doctor trap...be who you are meant to be and damn the risks. No matter the danger it is far less then the pain and hell you will inflict on yourself if you didn't take the risk.
Thanks
What do you mean by the doctor trap?
@Life was given to us meds bro...tryed too.Sucks,kills your soul.
You sound like you made career change. What job did you settle on that gave you peace.
Reading your experiences at the age of 21 fills me with so much hope, even more than the video itself, It's horrible hearing you lived more than 40 years of your life in this state but to see that even after all that time feeling this way you pulled through and found yourself is honestly nothing short of amazing, thank you for posting this
It's becoming scary the way these videos appear as soon as I need answers...
@@Nick-ts1qc You beat me to it :)
fate is calling you
Mampane Family sounds like you always need answers
@@GnarlyBroMr you got me there!
This video arrived at a time that was scarily perfect for me too
Am I the only one who finds Jung's words to be the best I've ever heard? Every word, sentence and paragraph is so dense yet so complete. No word is wasted and he sounds like someone who talks about something he touched.
That's a brilliant way to put it.
He's also very straight forward. It's the slap in the face that was needed for me.
@@Thomas-ui2bd Did Jung say that too?
That's exactly what I feel when I hear him
Wow. Yes. So well said.
Conclusion: don't deny the fear, but move with it. Be bold, get out of your head, spend time imagining (meditating) who we actually wish to be.
I often find I need to 3rd person myself, speak out loud, and tap the first steps into something I'm having trouble doing within myself (even when it's external works).
Careful with imagining the better version of yourself. Don't strain yourself too hard to achieve it, or you will spend a life in continuous dissatisfaction with who you are.
You are a valuable person the way you are, but try to lovingly strive to overcome your personal obstacles.
@@erikpoephoofd Pretty powerful bru
I barely left my room, let alone the house, for about 3 years. I'd spped to the store and then spped right back and congratulate myself on having left the house. That happened a few times a week - or sometimes once every 3 weeks. I rarely was out of the house for more than 3 hours a week, though.
Then my money ran out, so I was forced to get a job. I almost immediately fell for a coworker and it seemed he liked me back. I quit the job after 2 months -without dating him - but if I'd never have left the house, I'd never have met him. 💚
Now I want to leave the house a lot more.
Your words give me hope i can change. I think i had my first ever panic attack yesterday, i couldnt calm down and seem to have lost all rationality by thinking i was truly about to die somehow. I thought i was fine until yesterday. I too didnt leave the house hardly in 3 years, but i forced myself out today to a year overdue haircut appointment. I was freaking tf out, but i managed to subdue most of my visible symptoms because i didnt want to scare anyone. Hearing the rest of your story gave me a slight glimmer of hope in what seems to be the lowest i have ever been in my life, so thanks for sharing.
Every time I read or hear something of Jung I am amazed at how well he predicted how my life was gonna be.
+Henk Glimlach I mean most of what he explains is universal so of course it would apply to your life.
He didn't predict anything, he simply observed human behavior, and lived through it
it's almost like he was one of us a HUman :0
The Barnum effect
@@Beanie-Sandals One and the same. History predicts...
This is so spot on. As someone who has struggled with paralyzing anxiety for 7 years now (that seemingly began in an instant) I see that the fall into neurosis was a path I unknowingly manifested. When I was 17 I was extremely depressed for family, and social reasons. I felt alone. My whole identity was invested in trying to be liked by everyone. On top of this I had a nasty case of laziness due to my parents never enforcing homework and still complimenting me on my "achievements." I did nothing. I got a computer in 8th grade and was immediately addicted. I just consumed all day every day. I had no self worth and the tiny image I held of me within myself faded. One day I had the realization I was going to die and quite literally did not know how to handle it. I broke down and disassociated. I didnt tell anyone for years because I was scared I was crazy. This resulted in years of doing nothing. I thought I had to fix my beliefs before I could move forward. I was so unaware that what was causing my lack of belief was the behaviors that lead me to my breaking point. I didn't stand for anything and was completely self absorbed. All I knew were my thoughts. If anyone is struggling with anxiety know you're not alone and healing is possible!! Its not an easy journey and this video hits the nail on the head. Drop the addictive behaviors you run to to keep you sidelined and commit to yourself. Books and videos are great for guidance but they wont heal you. Only you have the power to walk yourself home.
Thank you buddy for that. I really needed it. Have a great life :)
i'm 19 now. i cannot believe how similar we are. my parents are exactly the same. i dont usually comment but after this i had to. would love to talk to u more. please share more of your experiences.
Damn, I have a similar story as you, I am suffering from schizophrenia
bravo 🥇
Courageous and well said.
I experienced 10 whole years of a horrible anxiety disorder from the age of 18 to 28 , it tore my life apart in the worst of this disorder i was afraid to walk 2km from my house , i couldn't go on buses or trains , panic attacks were all i knew.
I am 31 years old now and I'm living in Paris , i recovered from this Anxiety disorder 3 years ago.
This video makes so much sense to me , it's so perfect so true every word spoke to me.
My life has changed dramatically , i stopped fearing these symptoms i used to think i was having heart attacks or strokes or some kind of medical emergency , when i lost the fear of this i went into life i went forward into the unknown i told myself id rather die than live like that so what have i got to lose ? This letting go and true acceptance then helped me recover. I started to run/jog far distances , into places i avoided for years , I went on to run the Dublin marathon and Paris marathon , and back travelling again. The man who once feared going 2km from his home , these disorders are so awful, until we truly know how to recover then recovery is straight forward but requires bravery , will power and most importantly self discipline.
Amazing man, how much better is it today?
i feel the same, isolated myself for the past year and a half due to ocd. i'm going overseas soon looking to gain some direction but right now life feels pretty hopeless
@@10babiscarsame here. I can travel alone and do all kind of activities alone, but inside there's still this fear and feeling of void, because I cannot feel the connection with orher people : even when I'm surrounded, I feel alone. It's like I'm not part of this world.
@@ganymede... im in europe now, hopefully things get better, going to see some family. and live here for a bit. wish you good luck
Adding to the final words of this video: Terence McKenna once said ¨Nature loves courage¨.
Just a litttle phrase with powerful meaning.
Carl Jung truly cared about people, is the impression I am getting of the man
Yep. That's why he's not been mentioned in the indoctrination classrooms over the years
Yes, but when i mentioned him to one female psychologist, she called him trickster and other names to discredit his work. They teach you against him, because they want you to live the life of mediocrity so you can be better sheep. I then proceed to debate her and base of her arguments were that she finished school for that. And when i asked why doesn't she help herself being 40 years old, with failed marriage she started calling me names and such. So yes, Jung was really a gift from the universe, and helped me understand a lot about myself and others.
@@nyakwarObat it must be why they focus on Freud
@@miloradlukic9277 😆😆😆 shit... you savaged that woman with that help herself and failed marriage
@@logat1847 yeah you can't be having fully healthy and sane people. Apparently It's bad for business
Just turned 23, four days ago. And I cannot be more grateful to finding this videos of Jung. I believe this might have saved my life.
I was diagnosed with phobia, anxiety and major depressive disorder last year. I even spent a whole year trying to kill myself, which I almost did, ended in the hospital hadn't it been for my friends who dragged me to it. Got checked out, got home, still wanted to stop existing, broke up with my 4 year long girlfriend, created a great conflict with my family, basically felt that life was not for me.
But I found this series on Jung, and I can't say 'thank you' enough. I'm gonna apply this great man's theories in my life. No matter how painful, I'm going to overcome my problems in life, so that when I grow old and feel death near I'll be able to say that I have lived my life.
Best of luck,friend.
any updates buddy?
You have friends who love you and managed to keep a relationship for 4 years, it couldnt be that bad. What was wrong with you?
This is beautiful and honest and real. So very glad you wrote it. Thank you. Please stay here. The world needs people like you. Special tender soul. I love you through your words and your struggle. 💚
Everyone stragel sometimes and on people's head they come strange thoughts...the brains is fool of chemical substances sometimes they go disbanded.
The Depomin goes low...than people start feeling down and they don't have clue whay..so best thing is always checking with specialists..
And finding out that why y r suffer..than y will see diferent y life.
I suffer often like y . But I am Scientist and I manage that.
Even I am Scientist I pray.. Just pray on in what you believe and that gives you good energy and help to balance the flow of chemicals in y brain.
It stops negative thoughts.. also exercise ..if y are in bed ...to stop it..
Pinch y ears...if they distract y thoughts...
There are many ways...and lots of videos....good luck...
Y r not alone...
This... might be the best and most important video I've ever watched. Diagnosed me to a T. I started moving out of my head today already by dropping of an application for some part time work...now I'll pursue the endeavor with the utmost intensity. I tire greatly of the staleness, I want to really live my life. Thank you for making this video! 🙏
@JimmyJam good luck to both of you, I have been going through the same situation as you guys and this video and the comments have helped a great deal. It's good to know you're not alone in this I wish you both the best in this it's not easy
go on man
Fight not, the ogre that is clear of your path. Clank softly, scabbard to stone, to remind him, you still can.

One step
Easily one of the greatest pieces of work you have put together this far
Khalil Williams yeah, isn’t this extremely good ?! Wow ! I really enjoyed it !
Amen
Jung is a titan of healing, among men. Such an astute & honest assessment of the issues that plague mankind!
thus*
I think it's "thus far"
I have a dream that one day I'll be able to do things that I like without having this suffocating fear I don't know how or when but I will try my best
Don't dream it. Do it.
@@Ozoal it's harder than that . It's not like I haven't tried, but just thinking about it makes me anxious let alone doing it.
@@youisstupid2586 that day must be today. Just don't think about it. You fail, you get up and do it again. Maybe it's easier said than done but one day wastes time.
@Goose Wayne I genuinely feel very secure around anxious people like me because I know that they feel what I am going through.
@@fairwind8676 that's true but when you get shot down over and over again it makes it that hard to get up and do it again.
The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
Thank you. This is beautiful.
what makes this poem more awesome is that someone like bukowski wrote it
Morrie Mukoda I am 63 years old , just turned , didn’t find much for education , always stop to read a good story , never saw reasons for poetry , too technical I found most , this Bukowski that you post has caught me here , I thank you , for it has opened a door I think for me to explore . I came back after reading “For Jane” .
The last three lines are beautiful. Better to become lovely of one's own self than waste time with harming others. Life is meant to be lived
Yes soo ♡ him.Thanks for reminding me.
I spent most of 15yrs (minus a job here or there, for a year or so etc.) not working, raising my 2 sons. I worked hard before getting pregnant, and then, I had my first at 22. I’m 38 now, and feel like a waste of space, and paralysed. I can’t even fathom getting back into the workforce. I feel I have no skills to offer, and feel I cannot adapt to that lifestyle. I haven’t worked in 8yrs. I have been severely depressed for 6yrs, my anxiety has been debilitating for 2yrs. 2 weeks ago, I signed up to volunteer at an animal shelter. This is my attempt to break the neurosis. I had induction, and now I start next week. Here I go. Breaking the chains of this mental illness. Thank you for this video. It very much helps.
The depression is a sign you are feeling very bad about your way of living, you can do much more, you just need to take action. I strongly advice too start slow and if you fail dont give up, try again.
@@dickmullen3750 you’re not wrong. But, I was born into a world where every minute was dangerous, and for my first 20yrs, lived that life. As soon as I was somewhat safe, my brain just couldn’t fathom what safe was. I don’t live a life I should be, I dwell in death. But I have many reasons to have the brain that I do, it’s not as easy as just “changing your thinking.” if it were, I would be a different person, because I don’t want this. I just have, a different brain. Which anyone who lived my upbringing would. Because I see those people, they are dead, they are drug addicts, they are murderers. They are the people who can’t handle what happened to them, me I am handling what happened to me, I just, have a lot of fear and anxiety in my life, because of it.
@@siobhanrose1680 I can totally feel you on that, I grew up in a very hostile and dangerous environment aswell. Lot of aggression and drug use. I always think the whole neighbourhood I grew up in were psychopaths. Im still on high alert when I go outside nowadays, because outside was always dangerous, but Im doing better nowadays. I wont let fear control me anymore, thats no life. When I reached 20 I turned too drugs too cope with all the anxiety and frustration I build up throughout the years, that was a very bad choice, but Im almost out of that nightmare, I take it one day at the time. Do net let your past define who you are and especially do not drown in your own sorrow. You gotta be prepared too fight for your life, or else you will live a life of regret and I already regret far too much. Take care
Finally dude.. Ive been waiting for this to get on with life
You can do it, too.
Forthrightly, confronting uncertainty.
@Eddy Germosen i guess not
I climbed that mountain. It's a beautiful view up here.
Plz be there to guide me once I reach there too . Don’t leave the peak abandoned
I'm still heading up the slope. Sometimes I lose my footing and slide down a bit, but I'll never stop trying.
So many of Jung's sayings and insights correspond to my own experience. Over the years, I've learned from experience that if I'm in a cycle of anxiety/depression and want to change it, I have to do something different. That sounds so obvious, but it's hard for someone in that position to realize, because they are trapped in a positive feed back loop of symptoms leading to isolating and debilitating behavior which just reinforces the symptoms. If I'm feeling socially isolated, I have to consciously make an effort to interact with people to get free of that feeling. But whatever the different thing is that must be done, it must be done intelligently. And it often doesn't have to be a big change, just a consistent one.
Small consistent changes really help.
@@yoya4766 Wisdom.
Without self-esteem and respect for others, you cannot be true to your own values... Accept responsibility for your actions... Be accountable for your results... Take ownership of your mistakes.
Jon Goat that can't be true as long as you are human and not insane. values are not created they're discovered.
These are things one can do when one ISN"T in the depths of despair caused by any psychosis or psychiatric illness. What advice would you have for someone who is so ill they can't get out of bed each day?
What about nothing but respect and courtesy for others, but zero self esteem and respect?
All others before myself, sounds good on paper, but in actuality is toxic.
I've tried mental exercises and routines, nothing has helped as of yet.
I'm worried for myself, any help would be appreciated.
26yo Male/ "Successful" on paper/ kind, keen, and well adjusted from outside perspective.
....asking for help in TH-cam comments smh.
@@baloooification Self esteem is a myth. Self confidence is what you need to replace it with. The issue is that literally everyone, for all their lives in the west, think self esteem exists. You do, and you need to understand why it doesn't.
Self esteem is basically "I like myself based on X". Nonsense. You do not control what you like, you don't control what you don't like. What you can do, is get accustomed to it and hope your body chemistry can be tricked into gaining self confidence.
As for how exactly to gain self confidence, that's difficult and extremely personal. I don't know you, I can't help you except for a few pointers.
First of all you need something you at the very least don't mind doing. It doesn't matter what it is, find it. It's better if you like it. It needs to be something you have a basic understanding, or almost basically nothing of. The reason for this, is that there needs to be room for growth. Then you need to get good at it.
People enjoy and gain confidence in what they do, only if it takes time to do so. If it's too short, the easy feeling distorts your view of reality and can make you depressed (highly intelligent people are often like this). But if it's too long, it feels like no progress has been made, and any self confidence acquired will not be evident to you.
To make sure you notice your progress, try hard and make it a regular part of your life.
For the rest, you need a therapist, a good one that understands your problem. You need to feel someone cares about what you're doing, and thinks your efforts are worth it. So do not hold any secrets with a therapist, it's completely useless otherwise.

@@baloooification Google narcissisim .....these are very toxic
Merdith Miller on Utube is very good...
Carl jung is a genius! I have had anxiety for years now and it only gets better when i accomplish something!
Great video. Neurosis usually pushes people to the side, as Jung said. It makes people become spectators of life, not it's main players. Whenever I feel the neurosis build up, I remind myself that I just won't let it take me out of the game of life & force me to play a secondary role in my own spectacle... It's more useful to plant your feet firmly on the ground and not retreat from the neurosis but rather withstand it and don't let it box you in!!!
I was doing better until I got into a 5 year abusive relationship and now I'm finding my way back up.
You are changing lives! Thank you!!! As I am on the cusp of overcoming a 2-year phase of depression and anxiety, this video just sums up all the core reasons why I reached this state.
OCD made me neglect any social obligation, including my relationship. Neuroses
can totally throw your whole life off course without you even noticing it until you have the benefit of hindsight. Regardless of the hell it was, those experiences make you far richer
OCD turned me against myself, fighting against myself 24 hours a day. It throws your life off course because you are too busy fighting a battle against your brain. The one thing I greatly learned from my experience is that you can make it out the other side of most things life throws at you. Because there will always be more battles to overcome.
@@seahornet100 man, that is accurate beyond description. Constantly warring with yourself from the moment you get up. At the worse points, I vividly remember not wanting to get out of bed just because I knew what was to come
@Jon Goat As someone who struggles with OCD and is in a bad way right now, I hope you're wrong. I'm currently struggling to save my life.
@@edemont333 I understand your struggle. Could you try meditation? Even for 30 seconds. Or 15 seconds. Please seek help if you are in danger of hurting yourself. You are a valuable member of society
@@edemont333 there are at least three examples in this comment thread of people who have lived through it. There's a way out of most things in life; OCD is one of them. What @Brigidz says is so right. Your existence is valuable, regardless of how miserable it is at this point in time. Also, daily Vipassana meditation has helped me and so many others (ones without OCD, ones with etc)
Just to think that we have took the first step on Jung's way of beating anxiety and neurocisism just by clicking on this video, is really heartening and comforting. All that's left is to be bold on the real world and then to be healed and stronger.
That is what depression and anxiety does to you, makes you feel like you're partly dead while you're still alive. An insideous illness that robs you of Life/Love. I wish anyone that's reading this much health and happiness on your journey through time and space. 🕉️🙏

Anxiety is a symptom of bartonella and babesia.
for me it started when i finally decided to quit smoking .. you just need ONE BIG resolution, go through with it, and the rest will follow
but i think the key is to take your time : it was not like "today i quit smokin" , it was more like "i KNOW that i WILL quit smoking, i want to"
take a big decision, make sure that it is what you want, and take your time (be kind to yourself ) : this is my advice
More power to you.

I had this weird dream in the middle of the night. I had to watch videos after to be sure what the dream was about. It's been 2 weeks now... No cigarettes, no fap better diet and now this video.... Ooh and the coronas virus help to change habits!
I love the paintings that you put in your videos, just beautiful
This is so good, thank you so much.
I think I'm starting to understand this affliction... I'm scared to live but I think I've passed the point where I'm actually more scared of going on not living.
It's a constant struggle though. One step at a time. I can't see the summit but I can hear the wind, whispering my name, urging me closer. Sometimes I look back and see how far I've come, the obstacles I've overcome, and the times I thought I'd surely die only to find out that the thing I was so afraid of was something I had constructed in my mind; it's so small and harmless in hindsight. Well, I guess sometimes things just plain suck, but that's when you learn the most - once the dust have settled.
Not once would I have died if I would just done what needed to be done and not waste a thought on the what-ifs, preserving energy for practical matters and enabling rest and recuperation in between trials. Going with it and staying present is what enables you to succeed; if you'd truly care about the odds being in your favor instead of running away you wouldn't be tying yourself in knots just to give birth to this self-fullfilling prophecy of failure and inadequacy.
I guess you gotta stop being at war with yourself and this life.
Deus Ex nicely put
Thanks!
@Reerei Dia I just had some sausage stroganoff and a dark chocolate and ginger flapjack, so I'd say I'm doing pretty good 👍
Excellent
Well put. Being conflicted for too long is partial suicide, it's the worst position to be in
That first quote might have had a more profound impact than anything I have ever read. Standing aside to avoid pain is always a choice in favor of death, take control, live life, the pain is worth it.
This comes from somebody who almost rarely left the house. I have accomplished so much more in two weeks than I have in two years through the change of perspective.
The amount of profundity this channel exudes is both mentally stimulating and relaxing. Honestly thank you for all your work.
This was just so perfectly articulated, I keep coming back to it.
Felt this one in my Soul.
Once again, Incredible Work.
I rarely comment on videos, but i just wanted to thank you, Academy of Ideas, for making such great videos. I loved this one in particular as i could relate to it a lot. So well researched and i love the type of presentation with pictures of paintings in slide format, with the narration in background. And everything is quoted from the philosophophers' works, no opinions, only transmission of previous knowledge. Everything is perfect!
I got chills after you read the first paragraph in this video. It went straight to the soul of my condition and I felt understood. Thank you 🙌
i need to thank you. it's like these videos on jung's take of anxiety were made FOR ME. i felt every word. your work here is extremely appreciated. cheers from brazil.
The potential of this knowledge to help others is astounding. Thank you so much for putting this together. May we all be able to manifest these lessons within our own lives.
Your channel is like a blessing on people like us suffering from some form of neurosis. Thank goodness this channel exists. And thanks a lot for making this one too.
I love these videos. Everytime I watch them, I feel more stimulated and ready for the day.
Thank you so much for making them - keep going!
Thank you for this, it's so relevant to me. Great work, not only for the message but also the paintings you used to accompany it.
I needed to hear this, thanks... I feel like I've got a bit of a way to go at least I feel encouraged to hear that the focus shouldn't be simply waiting for the neurosis to diminish before acting.
"Only boldness can deliver from fear"
Everybody Carl Jung Tonight.
I am so unbelievably grateful for this channel. It is really and truly one of the most edifying influences to my psyche. The art is magnificent, and the psychological/philosophical content is arranged so powerfully. Love it. Thank you!
This has described my life so perfectly. I live in my head, i constantly worry and fret. I feel anxiety most of the time.
This has meant I've neglected the typical duties of life which are the difficult and meaningful ones. I feel like i've not developed in the past several years in any aspect, I've actually gotten worse. My bad habits are more plentiful than before, the good noble things are being squeezed out. I have no career or any hope of one, zero prospect of a relationship and my pool of friends dwindles as they move on in life. I am seriously worried that when my friends truly settle down with a long term partner and have children i will be completely isolated.
I appreciate this video because it clarifies a great deal in an intelligent way.
Not all ur friends relationships will be smooth, ur friends, the fathers could use a mate to hang out with every once in a while
How are you today my friend?
You have helped me through the toughest of times with your incredibly timely videos thank you
Good luck man it ain't easy but we're not alone!
What a beautiful thing to hear.God bless you
@@ivantomic6799 thank you
Well. I have a brand new perspective now. And a renewed desire to face my fears instead of avoid them. I needed to hear this.
This video directly addresses me in ways I thought impossible. I am ordering Jung's works mentioned in this video and am going back to further my education this morning.
Thank you.
Iam really glad i came across this.. it is trur that when the student is ready the teacher appears.
Thank you for this 🕯
A true genius in the releam of psychology; who defined humen mind without scientific and materialistic prejudice. The picture of archetypes and collective unconscious can be emerged only from a highly motivated and enlightened mind. I realise the world much better in Jungian perspective.
Beautiful. Need to hear stuff like this. Jung is changing my life
Your work is the very definition of inspiration.
Waiting patiently for you next video.
...
Thank you
You are awesome. I needed to hear this. Subscribed.
I am finally ready to be accountable and put in the hard work, to get where I want to go, and to gain my complete self-reliant independence. Thanks brother.
I feel like this video speaks exactly to where I am in my life, avoiding , hiding, but not able to escape my true desires
Thank you for taking the time to make this.
This is the best channel of any medium
AMAZING 2 PART SERIES!! I'm so happy I found your channel today
This is the most I’ve taken from a video out of all the countless mind numbing ones I’ve watched throughout my life. Thank you.
Your content is staggeringly good, thankyou
Moved me to tears.
Such a leap of faith required to envision oneself to the life I would like to live!
If possible, the only cure is movement towards that life!
Been waiting for this one - beautifully done. Your channel is an inspiration to me
This hits me personally in such a strong sense. It’s like a revelation that is difficult to come to grips with. Thank you for this video
The art you use is stunning
Hoooooly f...Not only do I finally understand what everyone means with you guys perfectly timing your videos with life's hardships, but this one hit home so hard. I have spent the last two years, on-and-off, trying to figure out my personal reasons for falling into neurosis, only to discover that the answer didn't give me too much relief, and the situation persists. This here, feels like the last piece of my puzzle. Now I just have to turn it around and make the picture complete, and hopefully, start doing the right thing.Thank you so much for your work. Please never stop.
Exactly the case with me. I dipped into a 2-year phase of anxiety and neurosis. This video summed up some of the realizations I've had on my path to recovery and just added so much more! May we access all of the personal empowerment to turn our ship around!
Can I just take some time to appreciate the work you are doing? It's amazing how much quality your content has and almost all of your videos seem as if they were made for me lol , Just keep doing the good work!
Thanks YT for listening to my convos with my mom. Dealing with a lot of anxieties and slipping in/out of depression.
Hands down the beat video I have ever seen on Anxiety. I've seen 1000s...
I've been dealing with anxiety for nearly 20 years. I've come to the conclusion that whatever I've been doing, I've been doing it wrong. This video hit at the perfect time. My thanks to Academy of Ideas for putting this out there. This is going to be a rough road ahead, and I'm not even sure how to go about it, but screw it, here goes nothing, right?
be present and embrace whatever happens ,find positive things that mean something to you when you feel weak or defeated , life is what you make of it , be happy and be satisfied with yourself , you have no reasons to not do it when you dig deep
How are you today?
The tide that brings you to become a better person will come...if you do...ride it..be patient...do what what you think is good for you...dont judge yourself to other person...you are who you are..
Holy Gee. These videos can't get any better. Thank you AcademyOfIdeas
Perfectly done. Just what I need to confront my procrastination. The quotes were like hear my conscience talk back to me.
I was waiting for this
Man I needed that Pep talk !!! Onwards and Upwards !!!
I realized earlier today just how bad my fears have taken over my life. This is seriously just what I needed to push me forward on my path. Thank you soooo much!!! 🥰
This is awesome. And I truly appreciate the masterful works of art that accompany the words. Thank you!
My favourite kind of notification!
Weil die such nur so mirgegenüber verhalten haben weil die situation es in their favor hergegeben hat
This is incredible. The part about "what would you do in life if you didn't have neurotic anxiety? Go do that, and bring your anxiety and pain with you" is incredibleamazing advice I will do my best to hold on to
I really needed a video like this. Thanks for the upload!
Thank you very much for these extraordinary videos! In the past I searched and searched for advice on how to live life without feeling so anxious and I didn't find something to satisfy me. Now I have come to the conclusion that there are no final answers that can satisfy me, but your videos do great to give a hint of the road one should pursue in life.
It seems that the great people from the past: Nietzsche, Jung and many others are the ones who tried the most to elucidate the nature of humans. They are the ones worth studying.
The phrase "Feel the fear and do it anyway" applies here. Great video!
jung was way ahead of time
His parents haven't met yet.
Not really. He was addressing issues of his time that in reality are problems that have existed in humans since our inception.
@@thatnibbafromthechuninexam1831 not what im talking about. Im talking about his perceptions and ideas of the human psyche and reality at the core
SE9 you two are saying a similar thing but from different vantage points. If anything, folks today are behind the times. There was a lot of brilliance in the early twentieth century which hasn't really been surpassed.
@@djangotrane Totally agree.
Excellent video and I truly love the art you choose for each video, great choices!
3 weeks of waiting. I missed you guys so much
Thank you for your effort.
Carl Jung is a genius.
excellent video. superb.
This might be the single best video I have ever seen. Well done AoI. Well done indeed
The art is such a compliment to the narrative.
Feel I need to weigh in on this. Lots of abusive family trauma had me in this ring for most of my childhood and 20s and 30s too. For me it was fighting, literally fighting which turned me toward healing. Got some bad scars for momentos but I can pin point the fight and the night I turned it around. After that, I learned to begin accepting what I was and that opened up to replacing fears and negativity with proactive loving for the present and hope for the future.
"When you're old, you'll be more regretful of the things you didn't do, than the mistakes you made from the things you did." PS: You sound so similar to "What I learned" it's uncanny. lol.
i've been thinking the same thing
OMG i love your asmr ! You're my favorite
Perhaps, "It's better to be a once was than a never was"
I regret nothing
This video is truly a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing video! It's changed my perspective completely. Thank you for bringing this to me
With hard work we can overcome our anxiety 🔥
@Jon Goat We may fail, but living a life in which we fight against our illness/anxiety/whatever problem is the best way we can live, rather than living scared and turning our head away from whatever problem we have in front of us. Passivity causes more illness than failing a thousand times or even failing till death.

“...which give the human being the priceless feeling that he has really lived his life.”
Just wow
Knowledge in its finest form! The words are so true, so powerful it is daunting to face
I've studied a lot of philosophy and psycbology. This may be the most impactful video for me I have ever watched, in a long while. Thank you for this.
This may have just changed my life
Summarizing points, Carl Jung:
The neurotic should be cautious of conformity. Some people are neurotic because of an acute sense of the inadequacies inherent in the dominant way of life. So long as they strive for conformity, they will remain trapped in their suffering.
Those who overcome their neurotic nature are often more capable because of their ability to use their neurotic nature for growth.
"The energy stored up for the solution of the task flows back into the old riverbeds and the obsolete systems of the past are filled up again" rendering neurotic conditions as a symptom of the mind attempting to right itself rather than the condition itself.
I had a lot of trauma growing up the son of father who has asperger's and a mother with an anxiety disorder. Institutions always gave me trouble growing up and I knew that I would never be made whole through them. I've been a working artist my whole life, and I'm finally starting to realize that though this was partly an occupational path, it was mostly a process of healing myself and making things right.
It's also great to see some of your own truth reflected in someone else's more eloquent and articulate words. Jung's contribution to the world is immense.
Thank you Academy of Ideas, I know this video has helped thousands of people just like me.
This applies to almost anyone. Not just those suffering from anxiety disorders/neuroticism. Give almost anyone a complete representation of who they truly are and they will run from the newly gained knowledge.
Today is going to be a good day!
I say that to myself everyday. Guest what it works.
I can’t thank you enough for making these videos
