I have gone from fear of dying to it is what it is, I sit with the uncomfortable feelings, they soon pass, not everyday is easy but it's possible warriors ❤
Kandy, you never get over the actual fear, it always lingers sweet, you have to shift your mind set and don't let it have any control over you, the way I took myself from the despair was, we are all going to go one day, so why use your life worrying about it, live your life sweet you deserve to just like each and everyone of us, don't let the fear dictate your future for you, our minds like to play tricks on us, it only affects you if you give the sensations and thoughts attention, when you feel the fear get up and do something to keep busy, without realising it will disperse, I have a journal on my bed side I write every night what my triggers are, I started identifying a pattern and worked on un doing that pattern, I know when I'm going to have a panic attack cause I get a cough I can't control and I will keep coughing, when that first cough hits I find a job to do to take my mind off it, you will get there sweet, keep pushing, your sensations are not there to hurt you, they just want to protect you, just say thank you and keep on moving, you can do it warrior 🙏🏼🫂
Jennifercook, I wish I could get to the place where I no longer feel fear of dying each and every moment of the day. It has been 4 years and I am just existing. How long did it take for you to change your mindset?
Hi Denise I've been listening to your videos for months now and I am much better i have changed a lot of things in my life and realised this is a journey i will always listen to your channel nothing has helped me more than you thank you ❤️
I had anxiety and stress so long that I developed hypersensitivity in my body, anxiety actually causes me horrendous heartburn ALOT. It's a huge problem. t
For the end of the video about giving things up; please please give up caffeine while recovering it will set you back . Even being anxiety free I got into the habit of drinking it for workouts etc and it just causes issues! Much love , JJ
It's crazy I overcame anxiety a few years back and had an anxiety relapse about 3 months ago.. back to the spiraling frantic o2 sensor and blood pressure monitor,hot faced wobbly legged dizzy guy... This video really spoke to me it reminded me the stages I went through in my recovery the first time without really recognizing it. I'm currently reading your essential guide that I bought on Amazon and I feel like im healing the right way this time, after this book I'm reading F*ck coping start healing. Before when I healed partially I didn't watch any videos on TH-cam on anxiety this time I have, coming across this video was insane because every step you just talked about I felt at an alpha conscious level. Each step you mentioned was connected to a memory of when I first healed. All the way up to the last step. I'm in the middle faze of these steps your talking about now just got past depression again, when I get to that last step I'm gonna focus on not trying. I think that's been a struggle to let go being a college athlete... Makes sense that it's hard to let go of that. Anyway Tha KS for this video dennis curious on what you think of this comment
I love this guy! I'm gonna share w my women's group!... However, let's notice that for many of us, " expressing our true anger/disgust at family members can't be done because they throw it back at you...That's why I do dance exercise, walk, run and sing. The anger that comes up is real and needs to be used. But with narcissistic people, they never want own up. So it's best to talk to the right kinds of people.
Yes !!! I went from enxyty to fear to twitching to muscle movement to face numb to stomach pain and like adrenaline in my legs disconnect and like am goin crazy
No matter how much ever we hate or scared of anxiety now at this first place it will end up becoming our identity defining journey for sure. Stay put guys.. I am halfway there and I can vouch it's making me a better version of myself
I totally agree with you, when you go through struggles yourself, it changes you but also make you more emphatic to others around you, you feel other peoples pain and shine your light to help them up, the more lights that shine together creates peace and harmony, keep going warrior you are doing amazing 👏
Wow! So much to take away from this video. Totally changes my perspective and helps me appreciate where I am in my journey. This video gave total confirmation that I am still growing. I am not by any means perfect or 100% over my struggles, but I am sure not where I used to be, and the points in this video helped me identify that, and take on new perspectives in the chapter that I currently am at. Thank you so much for this video! Until next time. -Steve
I have gone from healing addiction & eating disorder to healing depression & now I am healing my anxiety and isolation but am eating well and able to regulate my emotions rather well. It may be reversed from what you explained but I hope this is just another layer to my healing journey
Dennis I have been on this healing journey for about a year and half with you. I have done the health anxiety program and have read 2 of your books… I should say heard them on Audio 😂 I feel like I am a mixture of some of these stages you have mentioned. I think that my challenge is surrendering 100%. I don’t understand how and that’s where I Think I’m struggling with. I have days that I am 100% surrendered and days where I have different symptoms. Some days are more challenging than others. Thank you Dennis
The need to know how is the very thing keeping you back. Do not confuse thinking with knowing, you already know, and there’s no need to think of how to do it.
I'm currently in the sadness and depression state. I'm came off antidepressant meds about 2 months ago and thought it was that, but the sadness only started a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend I had lots of anger and irritability. I have the bewilderment thing too.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 Thank you. I am trying to live in the moment, not the past and not predicting the future. It's a very different mindset, so not surprised I'm struggling a little. I will keep going though.
On this journey of healing I have lost many of the bodily sensations I was having however I am having new ones. I started to revert back to " this must be something different" and your video today helped me realize that it isn't so. It's my tricky inner child. Thank you again for keeping it real. You're a gift. 🙏🌿
I’m going through one of the most difficult times in my life. I’ve read “Letting Go” and understand well what you are discussing. I’ve been feeling so depressed and anxious lately. My son graduated a year ago with his degree in electrical engineering and partly due to his own anxiety has not yet found work. My anxiety does not help him. As my mood swings from extremely anxious and depressed to accepting and hopeful I find myself exhausted. What your words helped with was understanding that what I am going through is normal and there is hope. I do feel like I am becoming a new person, it’s difficult, but I am more accepting that this is my path right now. Thank you!
Thanks Dennis! Another fantastic video! I have just purchased one of your programmes and I’m excited to learn more as every video I’ve watched of yours had resonated hugely with me. It’s time to stop listening and agreeing and start taking action!
I've been stuck in the anxiety cycle for 3 and a half years with 24/7 symptoms the whole time. I'm now so depressed I don't know if I wanna keep pushing on. I've tried hard to heal but my symptoms have been stuck to the point my drs have no idea how to help me. I hate depression it's by far the worst.
I have been on this journey for...a while. I find myself here more often these days for guidance, and I appreciate all you do for us, Dennis. The many, the few, you are making a difference in the lives of others. Thank you.
I feel I’m having some breakthroughs via your guided meditation videos...reframing. I’m at the beginning. There’s a lot to heal. I think I’ve been white knuckling and medicating through this for years/decades. Major panic attacks infrequently throughout, but have become more frequent. I feel like there was this energy I was always trying to put down, or soften because I didn’t know what to do with it. It was too heightened. Weird. I think maybe that’s the source you’re talking about getting back to. Much work and discovery ahead. Thank you.
I have learned that my anxiety/panic disorder is a direct result of benzo brain injury. My CNS is stuck in overdrive. Even 10 years after I stopped taking them. I've learned that once your brain discards GABA receptors from tolerance build up they don't ever fully come back. The brain heals somewhat eventually but it's not the same. Your channel has provided me with skills that I never learned while being prescribed benzos long term. Which is extremely important to healing. Learning from you acceptance & ways of turning on my parasympatetic NS has been vital to my recovery journey. I can heal the anxiety part since I better understand what's going on inside my body. I have accepted these changes that are out of my control. When I experience moments of CNS hyperactivity, I have learned how to counterbalance that. I can now lower my own heart rate & BP, which slows the tremors & shaking.Thanks to you!!! Thank you from the bottom of my healing heart! 💚 I wish someone could've taught me these things before instead of just take a pill. Learning to accept & work through anxiety is the only way to recover. Not to mention the now well known fact that long-term benzo use will make anxiety worse & cause extreme agoraphobia that wasn't present before the drug. It can cause psychosis even. That alone causes PTSD in many. I have a love/hate relationship with the mental heath care system right now. Sometimes it's a life saver & sometimes it's our worst enemy! I'm dreading what I'll experience when I wean off my zoloft. Whenever that may be. At least you've provided me with plenty of ammo when the time comes to handle whatever may come. Much love & light
Am so sad angry had a major cry shouted stamped my feet... I know it has to come out signals sky high in so much pain... I am right there what you talk about in this video yes i express my anger and sadness.. Not easy I miss my sister who died on February 20th 😭 I am angry about my life my past... I dont know who I am don't know my purpose don't know f.. K anything I do understand the signals I am fed up with this suffering fighting so tired now.. Ty Dennis any advise?
My anxiety used to be debilitating I have been working through your program for the last 2 months and Im so happy to say my anxiety is almost gone the last 10 percent I am forever grateful for everything you do.
Ohmygosh! Dennis! This spoke to me on every level. On the weekend I had such bad anxiety, I couldn’t really focus on what anyone was saying to me. It was all surface chitchat and I felt like I was about to explode. I was anxious and worried about how dizzy I was feeling, brain fog, and yes, very irritable. I felt trapped in content, as Eckhart would say. A few days later, one of my friends pointed out that he noticed I was very different than my usual self. Where did Melanie go? But just as you said in this video. I didn’t feel like I had to explain myself. I thought, okey, this is interesting. Where the old me would feel like I was about to be abandoned unless they all understood. Creating a new identity. I never saw it that way. But it truly is. Let’s continue the journey.
Thank you for all your advice Dennis, I listen to your bedtime affirmations every night and although I fall asleep, I'm noticing changes happening so it's clearly helping, thank you ❤
This is fabulous. A guide to follow. Be content where we are at, knowing if we continue to do the work that we WILL progress and reclaim our true selves. This video gives us a future plan. I’m inspired once again! Thankyou Denis.
I feel bodyley sensations at time I feel like am disgusted in me dint know how to explain it but I watch your video n others 24 7......trying to figure out who talks about bodyley sensation and I feel like tremors shaking in my brain head I don't know as if I was goin crazy am happy u spoke about the bodyley one and negative emotions
Oh I cannot wait to get to calmness and surrender! It sounds amazing! Dennis, I do have a question: Can you experience any of these stages either non linear or jump back and forth between them on a daily or weekly basis? Thank you Dennis! You're the best.
Thank you so much for your help. I love listening to you. You have helped me the most out of all the people I have seen over the years. I can’t thank you enough :)
When I lose focus on bodily symptoms my mind seems to go straight to creating guilty feelings about some thing or another. Ive had this problem for years. I seem to switch back and forth constantly. 🙄
I am at the surrender stage now and it feels really good to be here. It's been a long road. I am so glad I found you Dennis because you made understanding anxiety so easy and I was able to finally take the steps to heal. My health anxiety alone had me on my knees with fear for so long I didn't know if there was a way out and that caused me even more fear! Just so grateful for you Dennis. ❤️
I am soooo glad i found your channel. This is the most empowering and truly long lasting way to approach things. I don’t just need a way to cope. I need a way to relearn and live differently. You’ve taught me that my fighting these waves is fighting my healing and forward movement. So grateful!!
Omg, my body is going nuts trying to get me anxious. My arms and legs are like jelly, my stomach and belly are rumbling, my heart has palpitations,etc. I thought I was going crazy. I think I'm in the bewildered phase. I'm confused about whats going on and who I am and I don't have answers.
Hi , i am suffering from severe health anxiety. I always feel like I'm going to have a heart attack, and the pain areas are always on the left,like left chest, left hand , left shoulder , left back, left abdomen. I have gone to ER multiple times just to find out my vitals and heart is functioning properly. But i can't get out if it. Please help me, God bless.
My healing journey has been kind of strange. I go through stages where my m virtually free of any anxiety at all. I do have setbacks of varying intensity, and now all of a sudden I’m back to square one.
Hey Denis, Thanks for some amazing content, one video after another!!! I d written in one of your earlier videos seeking your suggestion regarding my hurdle, which you might have probably missed.Can you please go through the same, and help me out Kindly bear with me through a slightly long read, and pardon the inconvenience As a positive person in general and to the extent of in- depth functioning, I have been suffering from this trouble since 4 years by now, where I uncontrollably tag my memories, experiences etc. ( which from memory the are basis of self- association and spaces of self relevance that I can exist in) to: External events: closing a door, I feel I am losing my thoughts and memories as a result with that action! Walking in a pattern, something else tagged with it, and I lose it. Similarly doing a particular activity a way, or doing something before another etc. (Even writing this particular line in the comment) Random thought: I suddenly get a thought that my thoughts and memories, that I identify myself with, are ejected into space around me, and they really are and I see them outside my head, and not in my mind but in the space around, visually! I have hard time in pulling them back into my mind, which unless done, don't make them feel like mine, present in me, being material for me to base myself on. Lastly there are sudden thoughts that come and get stuck in my mind, following which I start feeling like I am changing inside headspace, in aspects of what I see, way I function and what I associate myself with. I see only those thoughts and that content that suddenly comes, occupies my mind and builds on, making me see nothing else in my mind relevant to me! All these issues make me feel like losing myself, losing what's within me, and preventing me from feeling and functioning like myself! I have no stable mental frame and functioning, and when I am in one to not be able to interact with every frame within me that I can exist in, unless there is a pattern of access pathway to any, that makes me feel segregated, stifled and feel depleted, incomplete, incoherent and limited with regards to what I can be and function In fact, writing this complete comment has re triggered the thought that it's real, and I am diving deep into getting caught in the cobweb of all that I ve written above, a problem over the main problem, that prevents me from sharing it. I write to you, in hope, to know if this is a mental disorder, and if so, how do I go about with it, and on contrary, if this isn't that, how do I diagnose what exactly this issue is and how do I go about with it! It has robbed me off a even a second of peace of mind, stability, and, feeling and being like myself, for now and it's still continuing post starting in early 2019! Can't take it any further, neither can I resist this happening to me! Eager to have your insight and possible guiding advice on this. Kindly help me out, express my gratitude to you regarding the same, before adding a bit more to the same This makes for the crux of the problem .!! Please let me know if you can make and assess something of this, and subsequently guide me on what's the way ahead , if I should seek therapy or if it doesn't look to be a problem needing therapy but an easier fix. I am afraid of going to therapy, because of incapability to put forth my problem, and have confidence about being understood fully, at the risk of not be corrected but at the cost of having the other things good and well working within, be sabotaged abd tampered! Yet, it's been 4 years as of now and I seek help as well! Please let me understand things as you can infer and kindly guide, Your efforts to the same shall be appreciated!!.*//
I felt a couple weeks ago like I was making progress and maybe in the bewilderment stage and then a week without good sleep and caffeine/alchohol and I think I went back a step
What do I do if I went through the process and felt 100% normal and myself again but I let my old habits come back and got an anxiety attack and went right back into the cycle? Is that normal? Or can I prevent myself from going back to the cycle?
My only problem is my right side body I feel like Iam having no control over right side of my body I have vitamin d defecencicy but iam weighting lifts walking fine but sometimes when I think of something my leg is really weak and it is just falling on its own this is all after my father death due to paralysis, lung infection and cardiac arrest
Hi Dennis. What about visualizing yourself in a negative state (like being ill, dead, etc)? Is this a part of a healing process? Do you have a video on this? Thanks 🙏
Unconscious imagery is unrelated to inner creation therefore holds very little power in manifestation work. Conscious imagery on the other hand comes with intention coupled with emotion which in turn holds much much more potential in the physical world.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 So in short Does that mean that unconscious imagery is essentially powerless and meaningless and that we should focus on conscious imagery?
@theanxietyguy Do you have any videos on this or will post soon in the future? I'm still confused on training the conscious and unconscious mind to overcome this stage
@@nickkapatais Meaningless, no because it reflects the subconscious minds perceptions. Powerless, not necessarily since people that don’t attempt to take hold of their conscious imagination are susceptible to their unconscious imagery. Remember, the old is also an old personality of yours, the new direction comes with a new personality and therefore a completely separate life experience.
I have made food my enemy I fear eating anything since almost everything is supposed to be bad for you gluten eggs meat even fruits and vegetables are now full of chemicals how can I enjoy food when it triggers ibs gerd… it’s hard
Trust me I went down this path and can now eat anything and have 0 mental problems because of it I was keto and all of that etc . Now I chose to eat healthy because I recover better and know I’m doing something good for myself . I even went carnivore meat only thinking it was the solution . It wasn’t the solution was to eat whatever I wanted …. Sit with the bodily sensations and not believe my mind when it would come up with stories as to how the food made me feel this way or that way . Over time I just stopped having terrible reactions . Of course I still chose an animal based life style , but that’s just because I feel it’s the healthy way to be . Not because I want to get rid of anxiety

Same state here. We are healing!
We certainly are siim, keep smiling fellow warrior, everyday day is a new day 😀
I'm currently working on getting there, I still have my fears of dying, I can't wait to get to that point of it is what it is! Lol
Kandy, you never get over the actual fear, it always lingers sweet, you have to shift your mind set and don't let it have any control over you, the way I took myself from the despair was, we are all going to go one day, so why use your life worrying about it, live your life sweet you deserve to just like each and everyone of us, don't let the fear dictate your future for you, our minds like to play tricks on us, it only affects you if you give the sensations and thoughts attention, when you feel the fear get up and do something to keep busy, without realising it will disperse, I have a journal on my bed side I write every night what my triggers are, I started identifying a pattern and worked on un doing that pattern, I know when I'm going to have a panic attack cause I get a cough I can't control and I will keep coughing, when that first cough hits I find a job to do to take my mind off it, you will get there sweet, keep pushing, your sensations are not there to hurt you, they just want to protect you, just say thank you and keep on moving, you can do it warrior 🙏🏼🫂
Jennifercook, I wish I could get to the place where I no longer feel fear of dying each and every moment of the day. It has been 4 years and I am just existing. How long did it take for you to change your mindset?
When I stopped careing about my symptoms now it chucked a yucky intrusive thoughts that’s caused sadness mixed with anger , unbelievable
Hi Denise I've been listening to your videos for months now and I am much better i have changed a lot of things in my life and realised this is a journey i will always listen to your channel nothing has helped me more than you thank you ❤️
I’m in the low mood at the moment- after doing social events and participating- not sitting quietly
I had anxiety and stress so long that I developed hypersensitivity in my body, anxiety actually causes me horrendous heartburn ALOT. It's a huge problem.

Enjoy the inner work, but make sure you’re not pushing too hard for the result which we known well as being ‘doer-ship.’

Much love & light
I’m sorry but that’s just not true

Ohmygosh! Dennis! This spoke to me on every level. On the weekend I had such bad anxiety, I couldn’t really focus on what anyone was saying to me. It was all surface chitchat and I felt like I was about to explode. I was anxious and worried about how dizzy I was feeling, brain fog, and yes, very irritable. I felt trapped in content, as Eckhart would say. A few days later, one of my friends pointed out that he noticed I was very different than my usual self. Where did Melanie go? But just as you said in this video. I didn’t feel like I had to explain myself. I thought, okey, this is interesting. Where the old me would feel like I was about to be abandoned unless they all understood.
Creating a new identity. I never saw it that way. But it truly is. Let’s continue the journey.
Let’s. :)
This is me right now😢
Thank you for all your advice Dennis, I listen to your bedtime affirmations every night and although I fall asleep, I'm noticing changes happening so it's clearly helping, thank you ❤
This is great to hear :)
Also, can you be in the depressed stage while also angry, talking about the past and confused who you are and where you’re going?
Absolutely, however one emotional state tends to be the default and leading one in each stage.
This is fabulous. A guide to follow. Be content where we are at, knowing if we continue to do the work that we WILL progress and reclaim our true selves. This video gives us a future plan. I’m inspired once again! Thankyou Denis.
Great to hear, forward together then :)
Thank you this helped me alot. It spoke to my heart.
Much love :)
I feel bodyley sensations at time I feel like am disgusted in me dint know how to explain it but I watch your video n others 24 7......trying to figure out who talks about bodyley sensation and I feel like tremors shaking in my brain head I don't know as if I was goin crazy am happy u spoke about the bodyley one and negative emotions
Thank you for the description of this trajectory. Really resonates.
Glad to hear it Julie.
I just started listening to your podcast, and I'm hoping that through them, I'll be able to get rid of this stress😢 thank you!
Through understanding and implementing the skill sets here such as reframing and letting go meditations you will get there I’m sure :)
Thanks again, Dennis!
So very welcome. ❤️
Oh I cannot wait to get to calmness and surrender! It sounds amazing! Dennis, I do have a question: Can you experience any of these stages either non linear or jump back and forth between them on a daily or weekly basis? Thank you Dennis! You're the best.
You really help me I do have many issues Bipolar Bless u
Much love.
Let’s go! Thank you for you positivity and encouragement!
Much love your way.
Thank you so much for your help. I love listening to you. You have helped me the most out of all the people I have seen over the years. I can’t thank you enough :)
You are so welcome
Thank you for helping me center myself 🙏
This is so powerful
When I lose focus on bodily symptoms my mind seems to go straight to creating guilty feelings about some thing or another. Ive had this problem for years. I seem to switch back and forth constantly. 🙄
Use this reframing practice to begin reversing the feeling: th-cam.com/video/45389TO7o4s/w-d-xo.html
I am at the surrender stage now and it feels really good to be here. It's been a long road. I am so glad I found you Dennis because you made understanding anxiety so easy and I was able to finally take the steps to heal. My health anxiety alone had me on my knees with fear for so long I didn't know if there was a way out and that caused me even more fear! Just so grateful for you Dennis. ❤️
Here is the guided session that will align with where you are the Lynda, enjoy: th-cam.com/video/6arfMc9Aj4k/w-d-xo.html

Thank you so much for this! I watched it twice.
Very welcome Adam.
To be honest, I can go through most of these states in a single day it seems. Is this common?
I am soooo glad i found your channel. This is the most empowering and truly long lasting way to approach things. I don’t just need a way to cope. I need a way to relearn and live differently. You’ve taught me that my fighting these waves is fighting my healing and forward movement. So grateful!!
Thank you for sharing.
❤❤❤thanks Dennis
Very welcome friend.
Everytime you come up with amazing information.... thanku Dennis for these healing videos🧡
You’re very welcome and thank you for sharing.
Hi Dennis, I am going in and out of bewilderment and neutral state and how can I move up to next state? Thank you for everything you do.
Sit with it, understand it, work with it.
Omg, my body is going nuts trying to get me anxious. My arms and legs are like jelly, my stomach and belly are rumbling, my heart has palpitations,etc. I thought I was going crazy. I think I'm in the bewildered phase. I'm confused about whats going on and who I am and I don't have answers.
Mapping will simplify: th-cam.com/video/A1g2q7suoY0/w-d-xo.html
Hey Dennis, do you have a book tip for higher and lower self? Amazing video🌞🌞

Hi , i am suffering from severe health anxiety. I always feel like I'm going to have a heart attack, and the pain areas are always on the left,like left chest, left hand , left shoulder , left back, left abdomen. I have gone to ER multiple times just to find out my vitals and heart is functioning properly. But i can't get out if it.
Please help me, God bless.
same?
Would u like to get in contact to talk?
My healing journey has been kind of strange. I go through stages where my m virtually free of any anxiety at all. I do have setbacks of varying intensity, and now all of a sudden I’m back to square one.
Hey Denis,
Thanks for some amazing content, one video after another!!!
I d written in one of your earlier videos seeking your suggestion regarding my hurdle, which you might have probably missed.Can you please go through the same, and help me out
Kindly bear with me through a slightly long read, and pardon the inconvenience
As a positive person in general and to the extent of in- depth functioning, I have been suffering from this trouble since 4 years by now, where
I uncontrollably tag my memories, experiences etc. ( which from memory the are basis of self- association and spaces of self relevance that I can exist in) to:
External events: closing a door, I feel I am losing my thoughts and memories as a result with that action! Walking in a pattern, something else tagged with it, and I lose it. Similarly doing a particular activity a way, or doing something before another etc. (Even writing this particular line in the comment)
Random thought: I suddenly get a thought that my thoughts and memories, that I identify myself with, are ejected into space around me, and they really are and I see them outside my head, and not in my mind but in the space around, visually! I have hard time in pulling them back into my mind, which unless done, don't make them feel like mine, present in me, being material for me to base myself on.
Lastly there are sudden thoughts that come and get stuck in my mind, following which I start feeling like I am changing inside headspace, in aspects of what I see, way I function and what I associate myself with. I see only those thoughts and that content that suddenly comes, occupies my mind and builds on, making me see nothing else in my mind relevant to me!
All these issues make me feel like losing myself, losing what's within me, and preventing me from feeling and functioning like myself! I have no stable mental frame and functioning, and when I am in one to not be able to interact with every frame within me that I can exist in, unless there is a pattern of access pathway to any, that makes me feel segregated, stifled and feel depleted, incomplete, incoherent and limited with regards to what I can be and function
In fact, writing this complete comment has re triggered the thought that it's real, and I am diving deep into getting caught in the cobweb of all that I ve written above, a problem over the main problem, that prevents me from sharing it.
I write to you, in hope, to know if this is a mental disorder, and if so, how do I go about with it, and on contrary, if this isn't that, how do I diagnose what exactly this issue is and how do I go about with it! It has robbed me off a even a second of peace of mind, stability, and, feeling and being like myself, for now and it's still continuing post starting in early 2019! Can't take it any further, neither can I resist this happening to me!
Eager to have your insight and possible guiding advice on this. Kindly help me out, express my gratitude to you regarding the same, before adding a bit more to the same
This makes for the crux of the problem .!!
Please let me know if you can make and assess something of this, and subsequently guide me on what's the way ahead , if I should seek therapy or if it doesn't look to be a problem needing therapy but an easier fix.
I am afraid of going to therapy, because of incapability to put forth my problem, and have confidence about being understood fully, at the risk of not be corrected but at the cost of having the other things good and well working within, be sabotaged abd tampered! Yet, it's been 4 years as of now and I seek help as well!
Please let me understand things as you can infer and kindly guide,
Your efforts to the same shall be appreciated!!.*//
It’s the mental reliance that is the problem, Practice surrendering to all potentials, and you shall have freedom in time.
Hello Dennis, hope you are well 😀
I am well thank you. 🙏
Glad to hear my friend ❤️
One of my most favorite videos from you - thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for the feedback Kelly.
I felt a couple weeks ago like I was making progress and maybe in the bewilderment stage and then a week without good sleep and caffeine/alchohol and I think I went back a step
You'll be back on top of it in no time.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 Thanks for your work!
What do I do if I went through the process and felt 100% normal and myself again but I let my old habits come back and got an anxiety attack and went right back into the cycle? Is that normal? Or can I prevent myself from going back to the cycle?
Quite common. I would look at the changes as a lifestyle rather than something done for anxiety, that way there’s no going back to the old habits.
My only problem is my right side body I feel like Iam having no control over right side of my body I have vitamin d defecencicy but iam weighting lifts walking fine but sometimes when I think of something my leg is really weak and it is just falling on its own this is all after my father death due to paralysis, lung infection and cardiac arrest
Right side (in some eastern cultures) is usually associated with problems with males past or present, I’d check this out.
Hi Dennis. What about visualizing yourself in a negative state (like being ill, dead, etc)? Is this a part of a healing process? Do you have a video on this? Thanks 🙏
Unconscious imagery is unrelated to inner creation therefore holds very little power in manifestation work. Conscious imagery on the other hand comes with intention coupled with emotion which in turn holds much much more potential in the physical world.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 So in short Does that mean that unconscious imagery is essentially powerless and meaningless and that we should focus on conscious imagery?
Thanks for asking this question Nick! I battle with this as well!
@theanxietyguy Do you have any videos on this or will post soon in the future? I'm still confused on training the conscious and unconscious mind to overcome this stage
@@nickkapatais Meaningless, no because it reflects the subconscious minds perceptions. Powerless, not necessarily since people that don’t attempt to take hold of their conscious imagination are susceptible to their unconscious imagery. Remember, the old is also an old personality of yours, the new direction comes with a new personality and therefore a completely separate life experience.
I have made food my enemy I fear eating anything since almost everything is supposed to be bad for you gluten eggs meat even fruits and vegetables are now full of chemicals how can I enjoy food when it triggers ibs gerd… it’s hard
Triggers are subconscious beliefs that need replacing, that’s all they are.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 I can say this is true !
Trust me I went down this path and can now eat anything and have 0 mental problems because of it I was keto and all of that etc . Now I chose to eat healthy because I recover better and know I’m doing something good for myself . I even went carnivore meat only thinking it was the solution . It wasn’t the solution was to eat whatever I wanted …. Sit with the bodily sensations and not believe my mind when it would come up with stories as to how the food made me feel this way or that way . Over time I just stopped having terrible reactions . Of course I still chose an animal based life style , but that’s just because I feel it’s the healthy way to be . Not because I want to get rid of anxiety
Could hear a high pitched sound from the volume in this video..
An imperfect video with an important message for you. ❤️
Yes ❤my friend. Watching it for the 3rd time now.
And irritable
First comment
Don't we actually go back and forth between these different stages
