Thank you! Finally a Dr who was on psych meds themselves lived experience and prescribe properly full circle. Hard to trust someone who hasn’t been through it themselves especially medication
I am an adult with a wounded child within Everything you say speaks directly to me. One of my children however was seemingly born with anxiety, he also has autism, genius intellect, sensory differences and a tender spirit. All these were evident from at least a few weeks old… How to address hardwired/congenital anxiety? He’s an extraordinary soul and he does lovely, frequent child-led play therapy with a practitioner he knows and trusts. And he is in a wonderful (not perfect) educational and home environment
Once again, I sincerely relate to and deeply appreciate your insights into anxiety as a result of childhood trauma. I’ve been on the SSRI train a long time and it’s indeed difficult to get off. But, now that I have been paying closer attention to my inner wounded self and facing the hurt it’s beginning to heal just as you prescribe. I still take the meds, but I’m in a way better position now to wean off them. Your methodology should verily be taught in medical school from now on!
I really appreciate your genuine help, Dr.Kennedy! I feel so seen and heard from you. In the last year, I was suffering from horrible withdrawal symptoms that I never experienced before. Doctors never figured out what I was going through. I thought I was going insane. I have been trying to come off and on benzos and SSRI for the last two years and it’s been a week since I took my last pill. I have gradually tapered off those medications and I never want to go back. Severe brain fog, brain zaps, seizures (I thought I was having a panic attack… that was a seizure). More importantly, I was so scared that I was not able to function, and what if I couldn’t return to my old self. Once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I am more than happy that I found you on Podcast from overseas. Keep up the great work! x
I was on SSRI for two years, I finally got off 5 months ago and still experience brain fog and brain zaps its crazy. I definitely feel like it blurred out my emotions when I was on them. Its like I was living in a black and white movie for the last two years. Now that Im off the emotions have been coming back and it can feel really scary but I definitely want to heal them and live life in color.
I just found you on Utube. 09/12/23. Very helpful. I really did not totally take in my anxiety. I understand more now. Thank you. I have an anxiety over health which is awful. I anticipate things that I have no control of. Horrible at times
Dr. Kennedy is spot on when he says that antidepressants or benzodiazepines are not the best option long term. I'm weaning off both after 30 years. They only mask the root problem, which happens to be past trauma. But the weaning process is pure hell. There has been a lot of promising studies using psilocybin for the treatment of depression and anxiety. In fact, Oregon became the first state this year to legalize psilocybin (magic mushrooms). This is the course of action I want to take to potentially begin the process of healing from past trauma in conjunction with CBT.
I took a SSRI for about a year for peri/post-partum depression and I just felt like a zombie. I hardly remember that time and I had no motivation to deal with the root cause.
I went off an SSNRI recently after many years of being on various antidepressants for depression but mostly anxiety. It was a long, difficult wean. And boy did every anxious, traumatic, self defeating thought come to the surface. 8-10 out of 10 every day. I found your program. I am doing the meditation at least once a day. It's helping. I decided to go back on a low dose so i can function. I feel like all the issues i need to work on came flooding out on day 2 of zero meds. I am determined to heal the stuggling, unheard girl inside. I just need the dampening of the meds rt now as the trauma is so intense and debilitating. Thank you for your different approach. Listening to my alarm has been the only thing that has really made sense to me. And old memories are surfacing which is powerful and good. I can process these deep held traumas with my amazing therapist. They were unavailable to me before your process
This video really stood out to me… especially when you were talking about benzodiazepines and gaba in the brain. You went on you “rant” about love and connection. I wish you would elaborate on “love and connection” and how that creates anxiety. When we drink we love everyone and tell everyone that we love them, but when the drink wears off we go back into our shell and hide from love and connection. I feel that this topic/ rant you went on is Huge with anxiety sufferers. I hope you can elaborate on the need for love and connection… why we hide from love and connection and how to change this anxiety producing habit. Love your work.
I suffer from anxiety. Thank you for all the materials that you are sharing. I recommend the Inner self-therapy. You are right. This is the best way to heal from anxiety.
You seem to be the only person I have heard that feels like you know me, I had child hood trauma, and my world fell apart after my son was born at 22 years young. I didnt know why but one thing I knew is the me that I was, had disappeared and I wish I that I pass during my sleep every single day for the past 10 years. I'm going to listen to your podcasts to see if it helps me. Thank you Judith
I have all the chidhood trauma you mentioned. However, at 65 i have tried almost every type drug. I have to tell you Buspar has been a game changer for me & 5 other family members. We all have different forms of mental illness.
Thank you for your wonderful and very helpful talks! I have a medley of emotional issues - underlying depression, anxiety, anger, ultra sensitivity and general unrest. All these symptoms are definitely not a major issue as such, but keeps me on high alert for fear it might get worse. As they say "the bark is worse than the bite" and in my case I am living with this as far as I can remember, as a functional human being. I have a good life, a wonderful husband and most things are fine in my life. My question is - why am I always feeling this way.
I was given benzos at 23 and now 20 years later I'm stuck on it being addictive and dangerous to quit. I hate it they don't seem to work unless numbing out
I tapered off benzos after 20 years myself, but you need to do so VERY slowly. The Ashton Manual is the gold standard on benzodiazepine withdrawal. It gives you all the information you need, written by an English doctor who ran a benzo withdrawal clinic for years that helped people taper off safely. There are also over 50 benzo withdrawal groups on Facebook alone that offer information and support, as well as a 500,000 member strong online group called Benzo Buddies. You're right - they DO numb and sedate. I was able to handle my problems SO much better once off them for a couple of years, as the "cog fog" they caused lifted. I got my life back by quitting benzos - and wish you luck.
There were 10+ years where I just needed to take SOMETHING for rampant anxiety and depression. Until I had a complete breakdown from repressed emotions and trauma, including inpatient stay. Then the carousel of various outpatient meds started and it only made things worse, going on and off each one. SSRI’s, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, etc. Now I’m getting off of meds with psych guidance and am going through awful SSRI withdrawals even with a slow taper. All the while, my emotions are raging out of me like a firehouse, which is overdue. My life and marriage are crumbling around me. All because of unresolved childhood trauma and (deliberate) numbing for years with meds. Throw in an autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia. But I have a stronger sense of self-assurance and a safe space inside now than ever. Therapy twice a week and a lot of self-lead somatic work. I look forward to breaking free of these chains. It’s hell. Dr Kennedy - thank you for your videos and excellent book. They have helped me in this absolutely grueling recovery journey.
You are definitely not alone. I am so happy to hear that you are developing a sense of internal strength that you can make it through this. I am very happy to hear that my work is helping you. I know exactly what it feels like to be despondent working through a mental illness. The biggest factor I see in peoples recovery is their own believe that they can recover. ❤️
Hi doctor, thank you for the information. New subbie here 😊 I was wondering about NDRI's? Like Wellbutrin. Do you feel they are addictive also? Thank you
Dr. Kennedy- Do you have any natural supplements that you’d suggest for use in GAD? Mine is such that my fight or flight is never turned off & I don’t want a prescription. Thank You! ❤
I tried SSRI's/SNRI's for my anxiety and panic attacks. They all gave me tremors... idk what to do now. I have tried taking no medication. I keep getting panic attacks that wake me up out of a deep sleep. I don't really get then during the day.
There are Facebook groups that help people taper off medications slowly. The Ashton Manual was written for benzodiazepine withdrawal, but applies to other psych meds as well. It's much worse if you cold-turkey these medications - they need to be tapered off very slowly. Best of luck and much sympathy.
Read a book called The Mood Cure by Julia Ross. I think it saved my life by improving my mental health with very little risk or side effects. You can treat and probably heal yourself with the info in this book. Blessings.
My anxiety is so bad its controlling my every move, and i used alcohol to relax on an evening and since i have become intolerant to alcohol i feel that i have no way of calming myself. I cant take alot of medicines because of low heart rate either. Can you help with any advice please 🙏
Absolutely. Health anxiety is just another manifestation of anxiety in general. I dealt with crippling anxiety over my health for 30+ years… Try being a medical doctor and have a Health Anxiety!! Paranoia about your health it’s just a manifestation of the anxiety you hold in general. Treat the anxiety at its source [which is what I deal with in the MBRX course, and HEALTH ANXIETY FADES AWAY BECAUSE IT’S ONLY A MANIFESTATION OF THE UNDERLYING ANXIETY THAT IS FEEDING IT.
If you continue using the yoga nidra and connecting to your Alarm while on medication will your methods of healing still work so we can come off of the medication? Or will the MBRX program only help if we are unmedicated?
I have been eating a lots of different antidepressiva and antipsykotiska and benzo oxascand. For 3 years Nothing did work. Now I have withdrawal since 11.5 months but I still have anxiety and can not be with people and is strange in my head feeling I get mad. I can't do the things I did before and it is moment 22. I want to be around people but I can't. I can take walks despite I have anxiety..I am never relaxed in my body or head and can not have a life anymore. Was very active before an accident which did I started to have medication because it went to be trauma and depression. But I am feeling mad not can do things and be my family and friends anymore because I have that anxiety and can't breathe normal and not can distract and talk to people more than about my anxiety. I am a very social person and now I can be with no one and of course of this I am lonely and depressed. Have I wd symptoms still or what do you think?
Can you heal also with therapy while on antidepressants and then slowly go off them or will taking antidepressant "sabotage" therapy as you will have crutch and will blunt fears and other emotions?
I do not think medication and healing are mutually exclusive. I think medication can support healing, and if can also block access to what needs to be healed. Start from where you are. My main concern with medications is that they take the emotional pain down to a level where people feel no need to work on the issue. Pain is an impetus for growth and an impediment to that growth, so if medication allows you to process some of the old trauma, great. But if medication makes you feel like you don’t have to resolve the old wounds, not so good…
I’ve tried a lot of different anti depressants and anxiety medications but they made me feel so weird, which made my anxiety worse. My current Dr. has put me on a very low dose 12.5 mg of Quetiapine which works well.
I think there are people who NEED medication, as an example where there is an actual inability of the brain to make enough GABA. If you need the medication, then by all means take it. I think there is this idea that we are all made the same and if you just work hard you can quit alcohol, cannabis, benzos etc and if you can’t quit you are “weak” and I DO NOT believe that. We are all different and have different neural substrates, traumas, sensitivities to trauma, abilities to recover and repair. Some people are just better served by medication and there are MANY reasons for that.
Do you think this will work for my dental anxiety. I can’t get to a dental appointment and throught it without being anxious and my alarm going off, palpitations, high bp etc…
Me and my brother both have similar anxiety and depression issues which may or may not be genetic. We both also have chronic tinnitus. However my brother suffers with it more than me in that it is causing him anxiety and depression whereas my anxiety and depression ramp up the volume of my tinnitus. It's kinda a vicious cycle but I usually dismiss my tinnitus when I get luls in my anxiety whereas his tinnitus ramps up his anxiety and it upsets him no end. I am not really sure of the solution for either of us in this instance. I believe that if my anxiety and depression were cured the tinnitus would lessen and my reaction to it would be even less than it currently is. But in his case I wonder if curing his anxiety and depression would do anything for his tinnitus. Possibly it would mean he cares less about it. Complicated no?
Anxiety isn’t in the same realm of a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Yes, it is a mental disorder. However, anxiety can be managed via neuroplasticity. Yes, genetics have a play in peoples nervous systems becoming over active. However, anti anxiety medications should not be used to completely numb our emotions. It should be used to help cope with anxiety while you are working on neuroplasticity via therapy and other ways self mental improvement. The permanent chemical imbalance theory really destroys peoples perception. And leads to a lack of recovery and proper management of emotions. And it is just not true… chronic anxiety is just an over active nervous system that has been trained to be that way. It’s super sad and very discouraging to people who don’t want to be on medication for the rest of their lives but are suffering from chronic anxiety. If you are reading this. You can recover! You can change your brain chemistry. It is scientifically proven. It’s just not easy and takes many days of suffering and hard work/discipline. But, it is possible and has been done by people who have a genetic disadvantage!!!!
@@callofduty4men unfortunately you can’t just ‘change your brain’ as 99% of chronic anxiety sufferers will tell you. Many people will need to be medicated for life in order to manage what is in most cases an inherited genetic condition like bad eye sight or other genetic disorders. Would you tell most people suffering from Type 1 Diabetes they can cure their illness through keto and regular exercise? Get a grip.
This man is really convinced that childhood trauma is the only source of anxiety. Apparently people don't have any experiences past their childhood and couldn't possibly develop different traumas.
I’ve never, ever said that childhood trauma is the only source of anxiety. You are misinterpreting and misrepresenting my work. Something I find very curious about social media: people don’t get upset at what I actually say - they get upset because of their own perceptions and interpretations of what I say. You will never see me state that childhood trauma is the ONLY cause of anxiety in adulthood. That said, unresolved childhood trauma is by far the most common cause of anxiety in adulthood, but it is certainly not the only source of anxiety.
I’ve tried a lot of different anti depressants and anxiety medications but they made me feel so weird, which made my anxiety worse. My current Dr. has put me on a very low dose 12.5 mg of Quetiapine which works well.

@@theanxietymd Thank you for the feedback. May God bless your Channel. 🙏
Speaking from extensive personal experiences - psychedelics did nothing for my anxiety. Zilch.
I took a SSRI for about a year for peri/post-partum depression and I just felt like a zombie. I hardly remember that time and I had no motivation to deal with the root cause.

I had such a bad reaction to an SSRI that it made me a thousand times worse. I am white knuckling it now because I can never go through that again.
I recently experienced that and am scared to try anything new😳
The first pill sent me to the hospital, tachycardia, and a whole lot of really weird things happened to me. Never took an other again.
I have all the chidhood trauma you mentioned. However, at 65 i have tried almost every type drug. I have to tell you Buspar has been a game changer for me & 5 other family members. We all have different forms of mental illness.

It’s super sad and very discouraging to people who don’t want to be on medication for the rest of their lives but are suffering from chronic anxiety. If you are reading this. You can recover! You can change your brain chemistry. It is scientifically proven. It’s just not easy and takes many days of suffering and hard work/discipline. But, it is possible and has been done by people who have a genetic disadvantage!!!!
@@callofduty4men unfortunately you can’t just ‘change your brain’ as 99% of chronic anxiety sufferers will tell you. Many people will need to be medicated for life in order to manage what is in most cases an inherited genetic condition like bad eye sight or other genetic disorders. Would you tell most people suffering from Type 1 Diabetes they can cure their illness through keto and regular exercise? Get a grip.
This man is really convinced that childhood trauma is the only source of anxiety. Apparently people don't have any experiences past their childhood and couldn't possibly develop different traumas.
I’ve never, ever said that childhood trauma is the only source of anxiety.
You are misinterpreting and misrepresenting my work. Something I find very curious about social media: people don’t get upset at what I actually say - they get upset because of their own perceptions and interpretations of what I say.
You will never see me state that childhood trauma is the ONLY cause of anxiety in adulthood.
That said, unresolved childhood trauma is by far the most common cause of anxiety in adulthood, but it is certainly not the only source of anxiety.
That was a very detailed reply. Thanks - it was helpful to me.
Really? I didnt hear thst. Good childhood here and severe anxiety
I cannot bear these forced subtitles. Why oh why when we can have autogenerated them.
I’ve tried a lot of different anti depressants and anxiety medications but they made me feel so weird, which made my anxiety worse. My current Dr. has put me on a very low dose 12.5 mg of Quetiapine which works well.
