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 cried so hard while watching this. So often I feel completely alone dealing with anxiety, thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting yourself out there and being dorky with your selfie cam for all of us.
Scott, thanks for the words too. I think Ive been alone in my anxiety journey too. I feel misunderstood all the time esp at work. It feels comforting knowing someone shares my plight.
@@markdayto Easy to feel that way since anxiety is such an internal struggle. Know you're not alone! I wish you peace and progress towards self acceptance!
Step by step action and the belief that it is doable.🙏
Me too… so much work anxiety i broke out uncontrolled sobbing this morning. Can’t continue on like this.
Stay strong king
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
@Micheal Harris Can dr.sporess send to me in OH?
Dr.spores is the best, he's been my go to for anything psychedelics.
A trigger warning would've been nice.
@@judeperks6612that’s not how the internet works
Something about you is so comforting. It also comes through in your other videos. You are a very genuine person. Thank you for all the wonderful information you share. It is SO VALUABLE and appreciated.
My thoughts exactly!
I agree 100% . There is hope when people like Emma share their experiences and expertise with the world.
I wish the channel much success also, it deserves financial success .
I agree, stay encouraged knowing you are making a difference!
Same here, great comment!
yep
When anxiety comes in strong, I talk to it and say, “Thank you for letting me know the anxiety system is working. I don’t need to activate you now, but I am thankful to know you are there to move me to action when I need it.”
Excellent idea Brook!
I love this
How could someone “hate” on a therapist who is helping so many people??? I’m so sorry. Praying for your peace & protection right now. Thank you for making this video and demonstrating how to deal with stress. What a beautiful place to hike, too!
Emma, this too shall pass. There are people from all over the world rooting for you. You are helping thousands of individuals with your skills and talents. You are the therapist I wish I were.
“Choose what I’m going to act on, choose what I’m going to let go of, and face it head on.” Words of wisdom
you’re videos have impacting my quality of life. i’m glad you chose to continue. you don’t have any idea how you have helped me in my life and my day to day joy
I'm so glad!
The kindest people I know are the ones who struggle with anxiety too. You are so helpful and awesome in your videos. Thank you!
hey thanks for sharing your personal feelings of experiencing anxiety as a therapist
Yes stress is part of the game...
Also, a fair amount of attacks and agressivity goes along with every meaningful actions. That's the sign that your work brings change !
You are definitely doing good in the world, thank you for that 🙏
hi hope you are doing good. The Stoic Mindset in the Workplace, Thriving Amidst Complexity th-cam.com/video/2bwTEPiSxho/w-d-xo.html. i think this may inspiring you. cheers
You've taken the ability to show the reason why APA indicated self-care is an ethical imperative for those of us in a helping/service position. Take care of yourself so you can take care of others!
Wow this was beautiful, your vulnerablity and openness touches me, thankyou Emma!
This was helpfull for me to see a real life example of how to live with anxiety
And your honesty touches me :)
Thankyou💛
I haven't commented before, but felt drawn to by this video. I have been watching for awhile now and I have gotten a lot from your videos. I can't afford a therapist so you are it. You are so authentic. Please don't listen to the haters, look at how many love what you do. I truly appreciate you.
Even though my anxiety and depression is still here this lady still gives me hope I can overcome this.
This was so refreshing hearing a therapist talk about similar stuff a lot of folks are going through. People, myself included, can get stuck in some pretty dark places and feel alienated so I know this is going to help many
484k subscribers, I'd say you're doing a great job. You are a winner.
I can’t imagine you having any haters. You’re so amazing and helpful to so many. Opposition in all things, right? Thanks for keeping it real.
This is the video i needed. I'm dealing with acute gastritis and sleep issues cause of the stress and fears of being inadequate. Thank you.. I'm weeping. Thank you for being so genuine. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on TH-cam and helping the world with your precious content.
Thank you so much for being so transparent!!! I am going through a really scary job situation. I may loose my job and I am responsible to pay the bills for my two children and myself. I have cried for days. You have helped me remember what I need to do one step at a time.
I can honestly say yours is the best channel, the best online channel of any.
Better than any one on one counselling I have ever had.
I have chronic anxiety and depression , sadly for me and people who were/are in my life , I never knew what I had .
Despite many events in my life, I only discovered that the anxiety has been with me All my life.
There is so much more , a dysfunctional life , 12year sober alcoholic , bereavement as close as it can possibly get and that's twice tragically . Marriage break up .
Painfully shy, self conscious (those were the buzzwords in childhood and as a teenager) I have never held a job more than a year as any kind of authority overwhelms me, years of 70% of the time spent in bed cowering from the world etc etc... it just goes on.
But I still have hope, I want to be somewhat "normal" , accept some of the vulnerability including being an introvert etc...
Your videos are wonderful and I am trying hard.
My question would be, should I really accept that I am an introvert and try to build from there.
Thank you for the calmness you exude, you are reassuring and right now, very very helpful.
Thank you. ❤️🙏🙏
You have helped me conquer anxiety and panic and keep my eyes on God during a difficult time. Love you methods and your voice. So calming. Thank you so much. Don’t let others pull you down!
In just a month of watching and applying your content in my life, I felt a load I had been carrying around for over 5 years begin to lift off. I attribute so much of where I am right now to your work here on TH-cam, and I’m blown away anyone has an issue with you, when you’ve literally saved my life. I was in despair! All my prayers, love & best wishes all the way from Africa. You shall overcome ❤️
This was so comforting to watch! You’re really such an authentic and sweet person and I can resonate with everything you’ve said. I love it! Thank you for your content. You’ve got this!
This is very validating. As an s-mft, I sometimes feel the need to refrain from feeling anxious or stressed out, but it always ends up making things worse. Thank you for openly sharing your experience
Emma - thank you so much for your vulnerability, wisdom, compassion, and humor. Thanks for being you.
I don't normally comment on things, but I wanted to share a piece of advice I was once given when I was a community first responder with the ambulance service. "You might not know everything, but you might know more than someone else. Doing something with what you know can save a life, so don't let it stop you from trying".
Really appreciate your openness and honesty. It is so easy to think we don't know enough or we're not good enough, but the countless people you are helping will hopefully help to be an encouragement to you through this. Thank you for all that you do
The positive impact you have on people is immeasurable. You’re doing such a noble job by uploading these videos, helping so many, thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
We are all with you Emma....we feel your anxiety and stress....thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities with us, to help us along the way....
Blessings 🙏💫✨🇬🇧
Oh my goodness! That baby is adorable
Loved this video. I am so afraid of saying "bring it on anxiety and do your worst". I must get braver. Thank you for sharing your process. You really are helping me. And others🙂
I've been watching your videos for sometime now and they are helping with my anxiety in more ways than you can possibly imagine. To listen to what you say and it resonate with how I'm feeling at the moment and help adjusting my mindset, I can't thank you enough. Remember to believe in yourself and remember why you're doing this. Don't try to do so much that it overwhelmes you, be yourself and believe. The old addage "You can please some people some of the time but you can't please all the people all of the time". Boom A great day.
You've saved so many lives. Truly. And I am one of them. You are an angel on Earth and so, so good at what you do. We appreciate you so much!!! Please don't let the haters/naysayers drown out all the love we have for you.
Thanks Kelsey
Just want to let you know that your content on TH-cam is so valuable. You helped me deal with my panic attacks and anxiety. Keep going ! You're helping millions of people around the world.
Seriously I can not believe you have haters. You are doing phenomenal work.
Your videos are so helpful, it has cured some of the deep issues I had.
I'm sure you have more people who love and appreciate your work than haters.
Thank you for doing this
You have an amazing channel Emma! It has been such a blessing in my life, and I can tell many others as well, considering how quickly you’re gaining subscribers! Your genuine care and healthy guidance for others is evident and refreshing in a world that rarely has either. Many blessings to you and your family!
You are so real. You are so helpful. I listen to you at least 3 hours a day. Please do not stop helping people. I have been in therapy for many years but no one has been more clear and inspiring than you.
Just purchased two of your courses! They (and your videos) objectively teach me better than my own therapist. You are practical and down to earth!!!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️!!!
Thanks Debbie!
Just love who you are and what you bring to others! Prayers for peace, patience, and strength as you go through this difficult time! ♥️
Awe who could possibly hate you? You are such a wonderful human being! Forget about the negative naysayers. Love you!! XO
Our values make us what we can become, there is as lot of challenges to the status quo with your openness. Small minds react and it sounds like some people are really good at pulling the trigger. It has been a difficult period for so many. Many of us have done things based on our values that we thought we would never have to do. We grow stronger or we let others be an excuse to give up.
Your videos are so on point. Your voice is really comforting, the background music is perfectly uplifting and the advice is world-changing.
I love your authencity. As a fellow introverted therapist I can relate and love your interventions on yourself. This is very helpful. Thank you!!
I’ve listened to sooooo much therapy/self help/meditation on TH-cam and I thought I knew it all. I can honestly say you are the first person to help me to see things differently. You’re changing my life one video at a time - please keep going, you’re amazing! x
You are so strong and I am so thankful for your videos! As a therapist myself, I’m love the reminders of the difficulty we all experience as humans who are invested in finding ourselves! You got this! ❤️
I really appreciate the bravery it took to be this vulnerable and honest with your audience. It’s a true reminder that we are all human! And we are all truly in this together. Thank you! 💕💕💕
Your videos mean a lot, youre helping so many people. This week ive been crying a lot, work-related and also just feeling crap within myself. Gonna get out for a walk this morning before work, makes a difference.
Emma, you have helped me so much. Don't let the trolls get you. You have a heart for helping others. Although I don't comment all the time, every video you have made has given me much to think about and practical steps. Thank you for your help, God bless.
I experience a lot of stress almost everyday at work. I believe this video is going to help me. I found your channel a few weeks ago and you have helped me SO MUCH just by listening! There are videos I watch a few times over. Gotta keep on truckin!
All the love to you! You are doing good! That’s what the world needs! Greetings from Argentina!
Thank you 😊
You're a jem to this world!!
Remember this: You do not have to make videos. (Bear with me here!)...
What you have done is already enough; your current content has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world, and it will continue to do so. So anything else you give is a bonus; it will ALWAYS be appreciated, NEVER taken for granted.
As a fellow introvert (INFJ) you have helped me realise most of my stress comes from self-induced pressure to help others/solve their problems/be there constantly. Thank you for teaching me to go easier on myself. Please be as kind to yourself as you are to us.
In this wonderful community you have created, we are rooting for you as much as you are for us :)
I sure needed to see this. Thank you for being true and honest. Very helpful.
Thank you for a heartwarming video. So raw, so brave, so endearing. Keep up the good work! You make a difference every day of your life. This is so inspiring!!!
YOU ROCK!!!!!! :) Everything about this is awesome. I love the simple (which is not so simple) honesty and humility you always show.
You owe us nothing, Emma. Your videos to date have been wonderful. If you want, you can take a long break from creating new content.
Also, I would advise you to not read the comments on videos. Some TH-cam commenters can be extremely harsh. You deserve only praise for your excellent videos.
May God bless you and your sense of wellbeing. :)
THANK YOU! It is sooooooo good to know that all the advices come from a professional, but one that truly understands anxiety and depression (not that I am glad you experience all of this). My family, my partner and my friends support me, and i am blessed for that, but sometimes it is difficult for them to understand exactly what i'm going through and that it is not easy to break the mood/way of thinking. Take care of yourself and courage, you do a lot of good for people all over the world and especially for those who can not go to therapy or are ashamed to do it.
This was the perfect video on the perfect day for me. You are so inspiring and a total badass anxiety kicker. Way to go!
This is why I love what you do Emma!! You are authentic, real and vulnerable and it shows through in your videos! And for me personally I love that, and I think I can safely say for most of us that watch your content, thats one of the qualities we love about you, and what you do! Yes you are human and experience these things as well, but you guide others from a place of authenticity and example. I think in today's world its so easy for anyone in your situation to not show this side of things, and act as if one is not experiencing these things as a mental health professional, but you do show that you experience these things as well. So thank you!! And thank you for being you.
To be honest.. i cannot remember the last time i had anxiety attack. You are the only person in youtube who've help me in terms of dealing with feelings and emotions. After i watch just one of your vid, all past memories came flooding and i just cried.. all of which i have suppressed for years. Now it is easier for me to deal and process my emotions.
Thank you for another great video, you are an inspiration.
Thank you for helping us and choosing to continue to do good despite the stress of it all. 🙏
I truly understand all of this. I am so grateful I found you on TH-cam and support your mission. I love that you cry to your friends. Much Peace and Love to you Emma!
What a wonderful human being you are! I'm so grateful that I found this channel
So helpful to see another therapist talking about work stress, anxiety, and facing it head on in a healthy manner. Sometimes we are our toughest client. Thank you for sharing, you really practice what you teach. Praying for your success!!
I feel like life can be like a giant hiking trail. There’s a long way up, you can trip and fall, but u NEED to get back up! 🙏🏼
Wow I didn't realize how big your channel has become and I'm so happy for you. I'll echo what everyone else says: Thank you Emma for your content!! I'm going to be in the healthcare field too and although I'm still a student, I constantly get boggled down by anxiety and fear of failure. I love nature walks to calm me down. That view is beautiful.
It's great to see your perspective on your personal stress relief strategies. I wish you the best in all this legal stuff. I can't believe that people go against others who are trying to make the world a better place. Take care!!
I’m so glad I found your channel and I’m sure you already know this but if there are people out there hating on you, it’s them. Not you. And they probably hate a lot of things in their lives, none of which have anything to do with you and all of the good things you are doing 😊 So thank you very much for the service you are providing !!! 😎💪🏼
Ive been following you for some months now, and I think you are wonderful. Thanks for all your advice and work!!! Saludos desde México 🎼🎶🤗
Wow!
I never heard a therapist talk like you do. Thank you so much for what you do and how you do it Emma. You are a great blessing to me and obviously to many others. You are genuine and authentic. Keep doing what you are doing. Not everyone will get it but lots of people will.
Thank you so much and
This is so validating and comforting. Thank you for making these videos and reminding me to Accept Stress, Accept Self-Defeat, Accept Change & Accept my Power to Change & Empower Myself By Controlling What I Act On.
PLEASE keep doing what you do! Your channel and content are an honest and wholesome attempt to support what is now a global uptick of anxiety and depression. Where you are weak or unaware, continue to go to others for help, just like many of us come to you!
Frankly, you are absolutely wonderful. I appreciate your online presence so deeply.
Oh sweetie!! I hear you! Legal issues are upsetting, glad you are taking care of yourself. You are a beautiful soul- thank you for sharing yourself💜
I think you're a beautiful person. So grateful for people like you
Emma, you are doing a great great job as you use your real life to tell us that we are human and the experience is so normal and we don't need to be shame of it.
How could anyone dislike your work? Your videos have literally taught me some life skills and insights that I should have learned as a small kid. How many people are out there who are not in contact with a good therapist, and to whom your videos were an awesome alternative
As a fellow introvert, can I just express my thankfulness that you have put yourself out there on TH-cam. I find your videos to be really helpful, and I hope I find an in person therapist in my own country that is as good as you :)
Thank you so much for being human with us, and sharing your own experiences with these emotions as they are happening to you. It's nice to hear from an actual therapist who can relate. I hope you know how powerful these videos are. And I hope you know how strong you are to being willing to share. 🙌💪
I know I not only speak for myself but also for many many others when I tell you, we love you Emma. You are awesome! Thank you for all you do. May God bless you and your endeavors.
Emma, I thank you for helping people with mental struggles like me. I pray for continued strength, wisdom and protection for you. God bless u always.
Thank you for all the hard work you do and then for sharing it! Your joy is contagious! I wondered, as a person who likes metal detecting, if you’ve ever seen the British tv series Detectorists? I thinks it’s the best show ever made and I think you might like it! I pray for you!
Can’t believe anyone disliked this video. Someone said, “if an angel came down from heaven and made TH-cam videos about what it is like, there are some who would dislike those videos.” There’s no pleasing everyone.
Thank you for everything you do! Your videos are something that i impulsively reach out to whenever i am having a hard time with anything. I have not only learnt immensely from you but also felt so reassured and comforted with your style and just the vibe that you have. I am grateful to be living in the time where i can access content like yours at the tip of fingers. My life has improved and your educational content is one of the reasons for that. Much love and gratitude to you. God bless you. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for putting yourself out there like this!! You have helped me more than any therapist I've been to! You make such a difference in my life everyday! You are amazing!
Thank you so much for this. Your rawness, the outdoors and beautiful views, just talking about your process. It was so nice. Your videos have helped me out so much over the last year or so. You are making an impact. So thank you.
Emma you have helped me so.much. I am a small business owner. Have a lot of anxiety. Thanks for guiding me. Those that criticize it arent in the arena, should know their comments are unproductive. Good for you Emma.
This was such a balm to my heart this morning. I've been railing on myself about knowing how to deal with stress/anxiety/overwhelm...but still being stuck in my feelings. Thanks for being a person --- and showing us how knowing how to help others face something doesn't mean we won't ever need help. 💜
Added note - I'm starting to work as a coach helping others through stress too, and I most certainly still have my own to work through (as we all, humans, do!), and part of what is clear to me - that I tell people - is that we all need MIRRORS. 'Knowing something' is not the same as FEELING - experiencing - it. We must experience and feel loved and cared for - and seen - to work through something effectively, right!?!! While we can do that for ourselves, it takes tons and tons and tons of practice and even so, we still may want or need others to be that MIRROR for us at times. I love the way you ended this, BTW, too. :) ok, thank you for listening, now. ;)
This was great, thank you so much. It really motivated me as I’m struggling with the fears and anxiety of being a new grad and seeing clients in a few weeks. ♥️ ♥️
Thank you so much for not giving up. Your video really helped me, deeply. I stopped taking anxiety medications (in a safe, supervised way) and started managing things differently. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
Thanks Emma, for sharing & being so Relatable. You have helped so many of us. Love & light to you
Your heart is so pure and your spirit is so innocent. We can feel your best intentions and goodness. I just rescued a beautiful mamma cat and her kittens from the streets of Detroit. I named her Emma
"For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
_Matthew 17:20-21.
You are fantastic therapist. I have to pay a crap load out of pocket for a therapist who tells me much of what you do. Difference is he can get me to calm down to see what are triggers etc.
You are incredible.
Keep up the good work. Your videos helped me shake a bout of depression. You’re helping so many people. You don’t even know.
I agree with all the people who said you made a positive difference in their lives. You put this on here for free when you don't have to and it's so helpful because it's not just "feel it and then accept that you're feeling it" for some reason that's always where the advice stops. Yours goes beyond that and it's the actual help I needed. I am glad you decided to continue with the videos.
I'm grateful for you and hope you feel better soon. Hope you're able to find a good balance with this platform and get all the help and support you need!
Emma, you helped me right now! I was in the middle of trying to solve some issues regarding my mom's hospice care while still trying to enjoy some other aspects of life like time for myself and my grandchildren. So thank you, thank you. 💕
I value you for your positive and helpful values. You help so many like myself. I use your lessons in therapy with others. Keep moving forward one day at a time. Positive thoughts and prays going out to you. Hang in there!
Thank you for making this video and for your important work, words aren’t enough to say how special and helpful it is and you are. Hang in there and know that you are so appreciated and loved.
Emma
This was such a fantastic video. Thank you so much,
Lisa
