- In this week’s episode of In Therapy, I catch up with Katie, who’s been struggling with acute anxiety since we last met. Together, we touch upon the cause of this anxiety, explore why Katie may be feeling increasingly vulnerable at this moment in time, and reflect on how her changes in behaviour have positively impacted her relationships with other people.

This is the fifth video I've watched (Session 5), and I cannot help but admire you, Katie. You don't seem to know (not right now, right?) how loveable you are. I send you many air hugs. You are a strong, intelligent, capable and admirable woman. I was scapegoated as a child, and there never seemed to be enough of anything I did, to please the unhealthy family who'd projected their problems and issues on to me. That had become "the programming," as I've come to refer to it, that set me up to later on in life re-create my family life. I'm in your corner, Katie. And I know there are a lot more of others who are as well.
😭😭 I felt your air hugs! I know they're for Katie but a rouge one hit me 😉
I can relate to Katie so much, just haven't had kids (43). And I can relate to you, Stephanie~ I was scapegoated as well. I'm just now, at this point, learning and figuring out who I am all by myself. I'm struggling with feeling like a loser because I haven't "achieved" a lot in this life 😢 career wise. But I have sooooooo much else to be grateful for!
It's a tough road, healing.
Big air hugs to both you & Katie! And everyone else in the comments who feels Katie's pain ❤
I get so much from listening to Katie and her journey. It triggers thoughts to my own finding myself journey reasons to my own struggle with anxiety, depression and Fybromyalgia. Keep going Katie your amazing.💜
You are amazing.

I have Fibromyalgia and Cervival Spondylosis. I’ve had many bereavements, and in 2020 was given a diagnosis of Complex PTSD and Severe Depressive Disorder, along with anxiety attacks.
I tried Alex’s Clinic in North London, many years ago,but sadly couldn’t anywhere near afford the fees.
Since then the NHS have let me down - I’ve been on a waiting list forever - or so it seems.
I am on a small pension, and even means tested therapy is out of the question.
We don’t seem to value mental health help in this country.
On July 11th, I am moving. It will be the first time I lived in a different city than my adult daughter.
I told her that i am going to be taking a month to myself and we will have a visit after a month.
I was 19 the last time I had a month alone. I am 50 and divorced.
This therapy is helping me and im grateful to you both.
How is it going? 😊
@@nicolab2075 AMAZING! I faced so many fears and it was all worth it! Thank you for asking. how are you doing?
I had last Sunday on my own. I had literally been climbing walls. Who dont realise that so much time has passed since we've been alone. I felt myself melt into it
@@Godisfirst21 So great to hear you are thriving in your new environment!!!
I am good thanks, but I could do with a month on my own, that would be a bit therapeutic 😉
@nicholaohanlon4220 it will be 3 weeks on Tuesday. I am in heavenly bliss. Best vacation of my life and it's not a vacation. It's my new life know. Being an empty nester has rocked my world.
Legs up the wall yoga !! It saves my soul -, I need to do more of this because it really is good to relax your mind and body. I know ( or used to ) feeling of a fluttering chest and breathing difficulties. I used to draw a quick few breathes because the anxiety took over .
Letting go of external identities and soothing the inner child. This resonates with me. Thank you Katie and Alex.
Ooh Katie I'm there with you... That anxiety and super vulnerability after a big shift is so relatable but you're far on the road of being your inner child's powerful mama bear. I tell myself to keep the faith and hope that stirring up all the mud will reveal beautiful things when it clears. Hang in there!
Katie .. you are helping me so much as your story is mine. Thankyou to you and to Alex.
Same
Really good reminder here about the power of self -care methods to get ourselves re-centered . Thanks for the learning!
Katie you are doing well..I hope you know that..you give me hope that maybe I can claw myself out of this old way of living.💜
Thanks Katie for sharing your story. Alex - could you talk about the benefits of self love?
Congratulations on 50th episodes. You have no idea how much your sesion shave helped me to. Good work Alex and thank you for sharing.
Still enjoying and learning from these conversations ..walking the tightrope of being assertive rather than just angry and then the little child verses warrior woman /man ..I suspect a lot of us can relate .
Great testimony. God bless you in your rebirth to new. Life. ❤
Ah Blimey I am addicted these sessions .
Katie…wish we were friends
I thought the same, what a lovely person she is
I don’t know who am either.. I actually can’t stand myself. Hate to even look in the mirror
Unfortunately, if understandably, there is a great deal about Katie’s background and especially her childhood and parenting, that is not shared in these sessions. Knowing more about her childhood would help enormously in understanding some of the roots of her anxiety.

Her husband is bringing her down and is so toxic.
Did he just say Fk? Lol
No
Yes, he did. Brits drop that word a lot.
