    About Me:
    I’m Emma McAdam. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have worked in various settings of change and growth since 2004. My experience includes juvenile corrections, adventure therapy programs, wilderness therapy programs, an eating disorder treatment center, a residential treatment center, and I currently work in an outpatient therapy clinic.
    In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.
    And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love www.churchofjesuschrist.org/c...

    I have a fear of writing comments, so here I am doing so. My irrational fear that everything I do is being judged and the constant avoidance of taking initiatives is ruining my life. I’m so grateful for these tips, they make you realize not to avoid but to sometimes make yourself comfortable. I love the analogy of comparing your fears to the muscle building. I hope I can leverage these tips and become better soon. :)

      @@Coinmancer when you think about it, anxious people have some of the strongest minds.
      When you look at it from this perspective, anxious people's minds are so strong as they are powerful enough to convince their own brain that they are in danger. Although it's not beneficial to think in the sense of worst case scenarios and anxiety. If you were to change how you use the fear and power of anxiety (that we give it) think of what crazy and amazing things we could do if we used our brains in another way?

    I been on medication for about 1 year now. Honestly the medication made me feel worst before I could feel normal again. I never had a traumatic event. I was always smiling with a great sense of humor so I have no Idea what trigger it. As a teen I did martial arts and lots of meditation but nothing could get me ready for this. My first anxiety episode was at 33 and I was hospitalize. They couldn't find nothing wrong with me. My Doctor said I had some form of anxiety. Since I been exercising again and meditating on a whole different level! I try to be more aware of my surrounding and turn of the light in my room when ever I feel overwhelm. I don't like living with anxiety but I don't let it control me either and its so hard to do. I sometime start crying out of no where but when my tears are all gone I feel brand new I feel better. Life is beautiful and anxiety perhaps has humble me. Its like learning how to walk again. Thank you for this video.

It's always comforting to see I'm not alone...atleast bitcoin is doing well 😊

      I love weightlifting as well. Exercise can help especially cardio. Make sure to read the fine print on the label of supplements. I had to get rid of a lot of things I was taking like coffee and certain supplements that were affecting my blood pressure and trigging my anxiety. Chamomile tea helps in the morning and in the night. I’m here to help bud if anything. Sometimes the best source is talking about it.

      Agnie, The only permanent way to beat anxiety is meditation because meditation reprogrames the mind and helps you relax without stress. On Google search engine enter "alternate nostril breathing meditation videos" and do the simple meditation for 10-15 minutes twice a day or even more. This can also be done sitting on a chair. Lot of negative thoughts will come but anxiety and stress will reduce in a few days. To know the benefits enter "Benefits of alternate nostril breathing meditation " on Google search. Do the above meditation regularly. Do not stop. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Best wishes.Shyaaam-Life Coach.

    i CAN do hard things, i do them constantly, and i overcome them. Usually, the things i was most anxious about wind up coming and going without being even half as harrowing as my anticipatory anxiety made them out to be... but it rarely registers as a success for me, or as a "facing my fears" kinda moment - i just feel haggard after, and judge myself for how hard the thing was for me emotionally, when it clearly shouldn't have been.
    I guess the step i am missing is giving a judgement free space for my feelings. instead i just get angry with my own emotions most of the time. as if my feelings were an annoying weeping child and i wanna has as little contact with as possible...

    1)Choose something that matters more. Write down why you want to beat anxiety, why you want to experience it.
    2) Practice willingness, allow physical sensations to be there and breathe into them. Sit with them. Active acceptance
    3)Practice grounding techniques and build emotional muscles
    4)Let go of perfectionism. I'm gonna keep trying and learning. Let go of looking perfect and be open to mistakes
    5)Let go of belief, " I can't handle this anxiety" This is uncomfortable, but I can do hard things
    6)Change how you perceive situations. Notice the thought and then replace the thought
    7)Do one small step everyday. Exposure hierarchy. Start with smaller fears.
    8)Stay with your fears till you can calm down, allow it to be uncomfortable for a cause . Be present , feel the emotions pass through, allow the number to reduce by at least half
    9)Get support to help you face your fears.
    10)Be compassionate with yourself. Celebrate small wins. We are caring too much. Let go, give yourself some love.

    Thank you for actually going in depth on the stuff youre saying. i cant tell you how many videos ive gone through where the host will hold their "solution" until the very end, telling you everything thats wrong with you, only to not give a solution at all and tell you to get a subscription for a service or something. these videos of yours, on the other hand, are actually very informative and helpful!

    Ah... I see... Perfectionism, is it? Yes, now that I think about it, I've been unreasonably and unnecessarily trying to be perfect lately.
    I'm basically in a desperate situation where I can no longer fail. That's why I've been trying so hard to be perfect. But since I crave for perfection, I can no longer tolerate literally any of my flaws.
    That also prevents me from doing hard things, which what I used to do on daily basis. Since I can no longer tolerate failure or mediocrity, I've been unconsciously avoiding doing hard things because I will likely to fail.
    My fear of failure is so intense that it makes me dysfunctional. I see...
    Thank you for the insight! ❤️

    This reminds me of when my doctor told me I have Lyme and that I should learn more about it. So I did.
    The first thing the book talked about was ticks. And to sum it up basically ticks are everywhere and are unavoidable. They are around in winter time too!
    I freaked out. But I took a step back and realized I was at a cross roads. If I took the path of fear it would controle my life. I wouldn't go outside or into forests. And I would live in fear. Or I could take the other path and accept that there is nothing i can do to avoid ticks and worrying about them won't help. I can take precautions like having someone search my scalp after being in a forest and that would be responsible. And I can enjoy myself in forests and the outdoors.
    Well I took the second path🙂 I am so glad I did.
    After that I understood that when new fears arrive it is up to me to either allow the fear to controle me or to think rationally amd realize I don't have to be afraid. And that it is ok to be afraid but don't let it controle you!
    This saved my life when I was being bullied by a nurse to do a procedure I didn't want. She was trying to make me afraid so I would do as they wanted.
    I told her I would think about it and call back with my decision.
    You see her bullying had backfired. It made me want to do the opposite even MORE. But I realized that was not wise either. So I allowed the emotion to run its course then when I was calm I carefully thought through the choices I had.
    I thought about what my future would look like in each path and decided that I was going to tale my path. The one I found.
    So I called back and informed them that I would not be doing the procedure.
    And that was that. Then I did my path. And I am better because of it. I did a diet and am better now. No need to remove my colon because I healed the ulcers with a liquid nutritional diet from the book "The Flare Stopper System"
    I am 100% healed. No more ulcers!
    So yes it pays off to take a step back and really think about how fear will impact your future. And make the best choice!
    You can do it!

    Really needed this; my anxiety and depression is caused majorly by my perfectionism and comparison....and every time I think about my mistakes/failures and what I don't have, I just cry no matter where I am. Grounding techniques, prayer and mindfulness really help me get calm but I now have more ideas from you! Thank you. 😊

    @porcupinester 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thank you for the helpful video! This information was a lot more helpful to me than the months I've spent over the years with multiple therapists spouting the same emotional baggage. I find actionable advice like this so much better than a therapist validating my problems.
