Thank you!! This is the first time I have tried a Grounding Exercise and it really helped me! I was heading for a panic attack before I started and this nipped it in the bud. God Bless you dear Emma and your beautiful family! You are a God Send to all of us who suffer from anxiety, depression and Panic disorder. 🙏🏼❤️🕊
I want to genuinely thank you for making these videos free and digestible (which is a very helpful, when you're currently in a pinch). I've been suffering sooo much lately, and things have been getting worse by the day, but honestly, knowing that there's resources out here, that as detailed as this course exists, really eases my anxiety... and I thank u for that. Like, it's quite rare for professionals to create a series of videos thats specifically tailored to walk us through the nitty gritty of things as abstract as mental health/ emotional issues, so yeah, thanks again and keep up the awesome work ❤ (currently binging the course and taking notes📝 let's try our best everyone!!! agh! gosh I hope I'm this optimistic irl😂😅😅)
I did a grounding practice with my counselor . It worked . I also read a sheet on naming 5 things you see , 4 things you feel , 3 things you hear , and so on.
Top down approach -use thinking to calm down Bottom up approach-calming the body to calm the mind deep breathing progressive muscle yaw tapping etc being grounded-aware of present moment knowing your safe write about how you feel before and after a grounded excercise 0-10 scale
Thank you for this! I knew I wasn’t being overly dramatic b/c there’s no way I can just think my way out of my anxiety and symptoms. Tried that and still dealing with them yrs later. I like how these exercises take my mind off of just thinking and more just doing b/c I really don’t feel in my body. Thank you. Can you do more videos like these 💕
She is a thief! She has stolen a copyrighted title from a well known psychologist, Dr. Patricia L. Bay, that came up with the name Therapy In A Nutshell over 20 years ago with her first book, tv show, national tour and Spotify podcast.! She should be ashamed of herself!
On the day that I watched this video, I experienced a fight/flight/freeze/fawn situation. I knew ahead of time that I would be triggered and be at risk emotionally, but I didn't have a chance to talk it over with my therapist. Everything I've learned so far from these videos helped me to manage my experience and the emotional fallout afterward. Thank you
I am a nurse and even though I think I handle things pretty well (and hide my anxiety), sometimes I notice myself shaking when having a difficult conversation or when being assertive with a senior member of staff or a doctor. It’s a weird shake almost like rigours or a rattle. I really hope people don’t notice - often we’re walking in corridors when it happens so people aren’t often looking at me directly. I recognise logically I’m not in danger but I can’t help it... really hoping this helps me.
I listened to something recently that helped me that said instead of thinking about your anxiety look and listen to whom you are speaking with and try to figure out where they are coming from, whether you agree with them, and whether YOU find something in them that is worthwhile whether it be their character or what they are saying. I used it all day yesterday at a gathering and it helped me and I learned more about them in addition.
I feel so seen I could cry. Mines is in the form of a quick jerk. It’s like being frozen for too long and your body can’t handle being still. So I jerk 😅 it gets really bad around a lot of ppl. I’m hoping grounding can help. Thanks for this comment. I don’t feel so alone now…
Thank you. This felt like a really simple meditation that allowed me to recalibrate my stress response. I think we often forget that what's bad about negative emotions is the feelings in our bodies. When we can ground ourselves in our bodies and remind ourselves that we are safe, we can start to recognize that bad feelings often aren't as bad as they first appear
This is helping me so much. I found out I have cancer and am using your videos because they are making me feel less anxious and I really appreciate you putting this help online because so many of us are having trouble out here and I'm sure it helps you, too

Careful folks. The sitting awareness exercise was VERY triggering for me. Immediately made symptoms much worst. I have Complex PTSD though, so maybe it's just me.
I like this lady! The simple way she explains why a therapy exercise will benefit you is really nice. I shall share this video with many people I know who are suffering anxiety because I already know that this 'grounding' works as I recover from a long term narcissistic marriage
Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn. Lately I am noticing how I Fawn in my daily life. I've only been following this channel for a short time but I'm really enjoying it so far! ❤👍 Helpful information with a compassionate edge.
@@pierre180 Hi Pierre! I found a definition! To fawn means to "immediately respond to please to avoid conflict"; as per Psychology Today. I never wud have guessed that! Lol. Have a great day!! ;-)
Thank you for this grounding exercise. I shall use it when I feel anxious next time. :) First, scale my anxiety from 0 to 10. Then, sit down on a chair and feel how my feet touch the floor. Stamp a few times with them on the floor. Then feel how my legs, thighs, buttocks press on the chair, and how it presses on them. Then, feel how my spine touches the backrest of the chair. Erect my spine and see how it changes my breathing. Then press my hands together - feel my strength and warmth. Release, and repeat. Then look around in the room. Remind myself that I am safe there. Then go back and feel how my body touches the chair, how my feet touch the ground. At the end, scale my anxiety from 0 to 10 again to see if any decrease has ocurred. It might not always drop, but it most cases this exercise would be helpful.
It’s so crazy! I just read about this yesterday and so I put my feet in the grass for about ten minutes. This morning, my HRV was up by about 8 points! ❤️ So grateful for videos like this! 🙏🏻

The grounding exercises work fine if I'm in a "safe" situation. The situations I purposely put myself into are not "safe". In fact, most people would consider them to be risky situations where I need to respond with definite techniques to reduce the risk. Most of these situations happen suddenly and I absolutely need to respond/react quickly. My current response is freeze and close my eyes. Responding in this manner only increases the risk in these situations. What techniques can I use to stop freezing, keep my eyes open and respond appropriately? Even a millisecond of eye closing, freezing could be bodily injurious or in the extreme, deadly.

@@tarabedford8329 Tara, this is a very serious allegation. Do you have actual evidence for this claim? Are there elements of Bay's work that existed only before this woman's work and is there stuff in this woman's information that draw directly from Bay's stuff?
I've clearly watch this before because its saved, but I have no recollection of it. Thanks a lot POTS... But this has seriously been a source of contention between my husband and I. He leans towards top down approach and tries to get me to do so as well. But then I get depressed and shut down. Bottom up approach really does work best for me and I'm only recently remembering that
I don't feel my anxiety naturally. But after I've started doing along these exercises, I noticed that I have been feeling anxiety all the time before I've started doing the exercises!
Great video! I was unbelievably pissed off about a situation that happened recently but I realized ruminating about it was also ruining my present moment as well Side note… I love the blank stare she gives sometimes. It cheers me up for some reason lmao

emma, these videos are literal gold. they have been helping me SO much whenever i feel threatened or anxious. i can't tell you how grateful i am that you've made all this information so accessible. god bless you.
I permanently divorced out of verbal and psychological trauma abuse 8 years ago. I have had groups that use trauma inducing tactics since then. Whether it’s verbal or physical I can assure you that the “blows” are anticipated because they were a repeated surprise. There are times I remind myself to evaluate if the threat is in the moment or not. If this works then it will help. However, if someone is inflicting pain, then I’d say leave for a safer environment.

Doesn't matter to me where' this info came from originally as long as it works. A Dr that did this 30 yrs ago isn't on you tube now for us and that's what counts for alot of us. Most therapists learn from others.
Than you sooo much for your videos! I started getting a panic attack and this video helped me to calm down and I realized that I’m safe right here and right now 😭🙏thank you thank you
Can i tell you something Dr. Mcadam?.. you look very pretty in curly hair. Loved your blue earrings too. You look like you are truly happy and i am glad . Take care like you do for us. 🙏❤️
Hi Emma , thank you I am really in the situation that I don’t want to talk to anyone, I am in a severe anxiety and your videos starting to help me , thank you and I am hoping and praying to overcome everything. ❤
This is amazing along with deep breathing I had learned feeling your feet to the floor hands etc but not the whole body if you can do this morning day and night it really helps with stress. FYI promo code didn’t work but I was looking for a hassle free blender but I found a 10% promo plus thanks for half off!
How do you tell yourself you’re safe in a car while driving in heavy highway traffic with speeding erratic drivers all around you, speeding,braking, and tail gating you???
Driving is actually one of my more calming activities, because my panic attacks create an irrational fear of death it diverts all my attention to driving safe, even almost t boned someone the other day (signaling from left lane to right near a road so guy thought I was turning onto the road and pulled out in front of me) and even that didnt really set me off, heart dropped for a split second then I was fine. Try thinking of that, that you need your brain power to focus on staying safe on the road which will distract from your anxiety.
Doing this exercise every day will be my new habit. How could someone gain the same benefits of acupuncture therapy without having to pay for that kind of therapy??
Would really love little work books with the videos! It's very hard for me to stay focused, work sheets help me stay focused on the video bc I have to keep up and pay attention to fill in the blanks etc!

I really love theses videos. They are extremely helpful. Could you number them from 1-30? I haven't been able to figure out the right order. Thanks a lot!
Do you have any tips on how to do this while driving? I've been working on exposures and a huge trigger for me is driving. I try to relax my body and remind myself in safe but the challenge for me is I have to focus on driving. I cant do both at the same time 😔
As a general calming technique doing intentional breathing for example breath in the nose for 5 seconds hold your breath for 2 seconds exhale through the mouth for 8 seconds. Do this 3x and see how you feel and repeat if necessary. That is something you can do while driving.
Please can you tell me, how do you overcome PTSD that stems not from you feeling safe but from the fact that others are not safe and you are completely helpless?
Speaking of "grounding". I suggest everyone check out the concept of "earthing." It is basically where your skin (feet, hands) are touching the bare ground (dirt/grass). The earth has a limitless supply of electrons that flow through your body and create an electrical homeostasis when you are grounded. Alot of legit scientific journals are now noticing a correlation between improved mood, sleep and overall lower stress levels when their subjects have been grounding for a certain amount of time. I actually bought myself a grounding mat, and I feel like a new person when it comes to my anxiety and stress levels.
Do you think these exercises will work in a situation that feels unsafe due to lack of privacy and people in your household who are not emotionally safe?
I wanted so bad to do better help!!! I thought it was $65 a week "paid a week" which I would of been able to afford but it's charged every 4 weeks and $200+ at once isn't a option for me and they don't except medical😔 alot of us are struggling really bad financially needing therapy on top of that and not being able to afford it sucks... Just add that to the list of crap I constantly worry about 😭

@Tara Bedford calm down, you should be the one ashamed of yourself. This channel helps so many people, also for free. She doesn't claim to be someone she is not. If you dont't like the channel, go somewhere else.
@@Amber-wy9om I never said she is claiming to be somebody she is not. I stated that she had plagiarized and copyright infringed on another persons lawfully copyrighted work. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I don’t plagiarize people’s work and claim it as my own. But clearly that is something you are ok with. I also never stated that I am here because I like or dislike her channel. I have clearly stated in every one of my comments my intention, and that is to bring to light the fact that she had stolen the name of someone else’s work and she has been paid for using this name that she has stolen. If you’re going to comment back on all of my comments, even though they aren’t directed at you, then comment accordingly.
how do you ground if your experiencing physical symptoms pf dissociation such as ringing in ears and visiom problems, when coming into the present moment this is all i can seem to notice?

@@tarabedford8329 Tara, this is a very serious allegation. Do you have actual evidence for this claim? Are there elements of Bay's work that existed only before this woman's work and is there stuff in this woman's information that draw directly from Bay's stuff?
All about the grounding practices! They are so helpful! I love the way you talked about the value and implementation of these techniques.
I've clearly watch this before because its saved, but I have no recollection of it. Thanks a lot POTS... But this has seriously been a source of contention between my husband and I. He leans towards top down approach and tries to get me to do so as well. But then I get depressed and shut down. Bottom up approach really does work best for me and I'm only recently remembering that
I don't feel my anxiety naturally. But after I've started doing along these exercises, I noticed that I have been feeling anxiety all the time before I've started doing the exercises!
Great video! I was unbelievably pissed off about a situation that happened recently but I realized ruminating about it was also ruining my present moment as well
Side note… I love the blank stare she gives sometimes. It cheers me up for some reason lmao
You are my angel....thank you for saving me :) im ok now 🙏🙏🙏
Glad it helped!
She is a thief! She has stolen a copyrighted title from a well known psychologist, Dr. Patricia L. Bay, that came up with the name Therapy In A Nutshell over 20 years ago with her first book, tv show, national tour and Spotify podcast! She should be ashamed of herself!

Thank you so much for this information.. as someone with two very rare diseases that cause pain every second of my life, this is helpful.
Thank you this helped get the edge off.
For grounding I love to stand barefoot in the grass on a sunny day specially if the grass is a bit wet it fells so good, it relaxed me in a second.
emma, these videos are literal gold. they have been helping me SO much whenever i feel threatened or anxious. i can't tell you how grateful i am that you've made all this information so accessible. god bless you.
Thank you. After the anxiety attack I had today I came to your site and saw this was up. Thank you,so much. I appreciate your help
I permanently divorced out of verbal and psychological trauma abuse 8 years ago. I have had groups that use trauma inducing tactics since then. Whether it’s verbal or physical I can assure you that the “blows” are anticipated because they were a repeated surprise. There are times I remind myself to evaluate if the threat is in the moment or not. If this works then it will help. However, if someone is inflicting pain, then I’d say leave for a safer environment.
Thank you for your tireless effort Love From Australia
Thanks Dee 😍

Doesn't matter to me where' this info came from originally as long as it works. A Dr that did this 30 yrs ago isn't on you tube now for us and that's what counts for alot of us. Most therapists learn from others.
Your children are beautiful congratulations! Greetings from NY 😊
What she's describing is meditation. That's what teaches you to focus on breathing/present moment.
Hi EMMA, Pls make a video on how to cope with INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS..please Thank You!
You are awesome Emma. Love you!
Than you sooo much for your videos! I started getting a panic attack and this video helped me to calm down and I realized that I’m safe right here and right now 😭🙏thank you thank you
Hey Olia! Sending all the love - How amazing to support yourself in moving through those panic sensations.
Thank you for helping us....
God bless you and your family....
Thank you so much for all the effort you put into these!! They've helped so much I'm so grateful 👍
Can i tell you something Dr. Mcadam?.. you look very pretty in curly hair. Loved your blue earrings too. You look like you are truly happy and i am glad . Take care like you do for us. 🙏❤️
I now understand what grounding is now. I didn't get it before
Hi this saved me from a phychosis moment. Thank you! I really appreciate your work.
Hi Emma , thank you I am really in the situation that I don’t want to talk to anyone, I am in a severe anxiety and your videos starting to help me , thank you and I am hoping and praying to overcome everything. ❤
This is amazing along with deep breathing I had learned feeling your feet to the floor hands etc but not the whole body if you can do this morning day and night it really helps with stress. FYI promo code didn’t work but I was looking for a hassle free blender but I found a 10% promo plus thanks for half off!
How do you tell yourself you’re safe in a car while driving in heavy highway traffic with speeding erratic drivers all around you, speeding,braking, and tail gating you???
I have the same issues. Had a panic attack while driving now I’m scared to drive. This is crippling, what can I do to drive again?
Driving is actually one of my more calming activities, because my panic attacks create an irrational fear of death it diverts all my attention to driving safe, even almost t boned someone the other day (signaling from left lane to right near a road so guy thought I was turning onto the road and pulled out in front of me) and even that didnt really set me off, heart dropped for a split second then I was fine. Try thinking of that, that you need your brain power to focus on staying safe on the road which will distract from your anxiety.
go to 6:25 if you've watched the video before and you just want to listen to the guided grounding bit
I use Yoga Nidra videos as a form of meditation. It uses a lot of the same principles.
Thank you for this explanation and exercise!
Doing this exercise every day will be my new habit.
How could someone gain the same benefits of acupuncture therapy without having to pay for that kind of therapy??

Thank you so much for all the wonderful videos! Also those earrings are so beautiful!
Self massage is most important tool and I miss it as a information. Nice self massage will calm you down. Body work,body work,,,,is the answer...
Lol your daughter's face in the beginning , so cute hahahahahahahahaha
Yes, anxious worries for the future.
Early gang 🤍 I needed this

Yas!
Wonderful! Thank you!

Thank you.
I really love theses videos. They are extremely helpful. Could you number them from 1-30? I haven't been able to figure out the right order. Thanks a lot!
They are numbered.
You are fking amazing, I am so thankful for all of you
Do you have any tips on how to do this while driving? I've been working on exposures and a huge trigger for me is driving. I try to relax my body and remind myself in safe but the challenge for me is I have to focus on driving. I cant do both at the same time 😔
As a general calming technique doing intentional breathing for example breath in the nose for 5 seconds hold your breath for 2 seconds exhale through the mouth for 8 seconds. Do this 3x and see how you feel and repeat if necessary. That is something you can do while driving.
Hey Tina, I have experienced the same and I still do. Can u provide any solution if u have got any by now? Wud be really helpful. Thank you 😊
Please can you tell me, how do you overcome PTSD that stems not from you feeling safe but from the fact that others are not safe and you are completely helpless?
Speaking of "grounding". I suggest everyone check out the concept of "earthing." It is basically where your skin (feet, hands) are touching the bare ground (dirt/grass). The earth has a limitless supply of electrons that flow through your body and create an electrical homeostasis when you are grounded. Alot of legit scientific journals are now noticing a correlation between improved mood, sleep and overall lower stress levels when their subjects have been grounding for a certain amount of time.
I actually bought myself a grounding mat, and I feel like a new person when it comes to my anxiety and stress levels.
The Earthing Movie on You Tube/ Keith Ober. EXCELLENT
Your voice is so soothing, can you please do a relaxation video, or if you have done it, can you link it?
I think I found a progressive relaxation one
Do you think these exercises will work in a situation that feels unsafe due to lack of privacy and people in your household who are not emotionally safe?
Thank you
You're a lifesaver! Thank you:)
Love your videos thank you - very clear and helpful
Thank You ❤️❤️❤️
I wanted so bad to do better help!!! I thought it was $65 a week "paid a week" which I would of been able to afford but it's charged every 4 weeks and $200+ at once isn't a option for me and they don't except medical😔 alot of us are struggling really bad financially needing therapy on top of that and not being able to afford it sucks... Just add that to the list of crap I constantly worry about 😭
Super useful. Thanks!😁😁😁
that's awesome!
I love your voice, and your content is very helpful.
Hey Emma, congrats, last year when I subscribed to you u were at 20k subscribers, now look at u!

@Tara Bedford calm down, you should be the one ashamed of yourself. This channel helps so many people, also for free. She doesn't claim to be someone she is not. If you dont't like the channel, go somewhere else.
@@Amber-wy9om I never said she is claiming to be somebody she is not. I stated that she had plagiarized and copyright infringed on another persons lawfully copyrighted work. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I don’t plagiarize people’s work and claim it as my own. But clearly that is something you are ok with. I also never stated that I am here because I like or dislike her channel. I have clearly stated in every one of my comments my intention, and that is to bring to light the fact that she had stolen the name of someone else’s work and she has been paid for using this name that she has stolen.
If you’re going to comment back on all of my comments, even though they aren’t directed at you, then comment accordingly.
Went to buy the smoothie, wouldn't give me the discount as advertised
how do you ground if your experiencing physical symptoms pf dissociation such as ringing in ears and visiom problems, when coming into the present moment this is all i can seem to notice?
Thank you!
