This is the most informative & valuable video I've ever seen...Ever. It makes sense to me & I wish every therapist would share this information during their first session with a client. Wow.
Janey Imaani - Emotional Awareness yes!! same idea behind CBT: there’s always going to be shit going on in your life and jerks who you can’t control. All I can control is your reaction to ot!
I think stress is a reaction to something. Thoughts, and sometimes we can be conditionned to feel stress in certain situations. But then when we feel stress, we act in reaction to it
Reminds me of a lyric from the song *Beach Life-in-Death* by Car Seat Headrest: "[It should be called anti-depression as a friend of mine suggested] because it's not the sadness that hurts you, it's the brain's reaction against it."
I learnt from the clip that just because meditation or going for a walk or going screen free before bed doesn't work in the first few trys it doesn't mean I need to give up on doing that stuff. I won't get instant change. These things take a longer time to create long term change.
1- deep breath 2- sleep enough 3- do less tasks each day with morre time 4- walk without listening to anything 5- do things you really enjoy in your breaktime
Why is neurofeedback not offered as a general psychology practice for stress and anxiety? I've never even heard of it until now. Seems like such a better alternative to medication.
Jess Out Loud Thank you to the two therapists who just look at me talking and do nothing. Northern Michigan is full of hard core anxiety with no real specialists.
There is probably significantly more money in medication lol. The medication doesn’t work? No problem, let’s sell you another one. Sorry if I sound sarcastic. Some medications do a wonderful job, I am sure. But the lobbying power of pharmaceutical companies is well-documented, and probably has a devastating effect on our health systems overall.
I HAVE NO IDEA!!! I had no knowledge of it until Laura told me about it!! It wasn't even taught in school I am definitely going to look into it more, and see if I can help raise awareness for it!! xoxo
There is being a push to get it covered by insurance...at least here in the U.S. I'll try to find the link my Therapist gave me. Some of the big named trauma Psychologists are pushing for the coverage.
I’m grateful for this Chanel it’s better than nothing and therapy is legit over-rated in most clinical settings. Most therapists I’ve had are awful and psychiatrists are even more callous.
Katie can you please make a video on how to cope with being unsuccessful at finding employment after finishing university/college 😢 feel so stressed out and feel like a failure
Stress definitely has real consequences mentally and physically. My anxiety has become more pronounced in the past year and I developed migraines. I can definitely see stress leading to serious medical disorders, even heart attacks like mentioned in the video. So grateful to you, Kati, for all you do!
I’m here because i suffer from OCD and anxiety. Just recently I’ve been having it bad. What really brings me here is because I found out that my mom (who has depression and OCD) was struggling really hard and she made a decision. She is going across the country for a month to get better. That just gives me more anxiety. I don’t want her to leave. I love her very much. But every night I’m up screaming and crying and I just can’t get control of myself. I need this video so much right now. Thank you very much. ❤️
I’m an introvert and have social anxiety and stress but I don’t know how to stop the stress. When I actually get into public it’s not as bad but my brain makes it seem like it will be bad Edit: thank you guys for all the advice!! ❤️❤️ (also I’m 13 if you were wondering)
Miriampergerson Hey, me too. I’ve had it since I was 13 (I’m almost 23 so about 10 years). Self talk helps a lot. I talk to myself all the time in my head to calm myself down around people. Also, try not to avoid because it will continue the cycle. Believe in yourself. You can do this. You may never be “normal” as in, never have anxiety around people again, but you can definitely live a fulfilling life. Don’t be afraid to get some therapy to help figure out what’s triggering the social anxiety. :)
You feel anxious in any crowded place or only when you are "participating"? I actually started feeling less anxious once I started interacting more. My brain was telling me the World would explode if I did,but after I've tried... it was pretty chill
That’s actually super typical with anxiety! (source: my therapist with a PhD). Your brain blows it out of proportion a lot, and it often does that when they’re irrational fears. But you actually do it, and suddenly it’s not as bad as you thought it would be. Remember that when the anxiety comes back, and used that as a piece of your shield.

@@mylfygamer wow, I left that comment 4 years ago. I actually just finished 2 years worth of EMDR. The anxiety isn’t gone completely but I feel a lot better
Katie, can you cover sensory overload/sensory meltdowns?? Especially for ADHD? i have a bad problem with sensory meltdowns and i dont know how to cope with unavoidable sensory overload
I started following the Forwago workout sessions day after day and it hasn't just changed my body, but positively impacted my mental health and made me a new me..
The massage comment really hit home. I was getting a deep tissue massage for a back injury and this was NOT a relaxation massage. I was only half joking when I asked for a horse bit to bite on. Instructions also included, don't drive yourself home, and drink extra water to flush out all the lactic acid built up. God I miss that lady. Anyway, she hit a spot on my neck that cause such an extreme upwelling of emotion that it was distressing. I'd never felt that before. It wasn't even painful, just an intense grief and need to sob. As a hardcore skeptic, I never believed that emotions were anywhere except in the brain, and this really threw me for a loop. I didn't explore it much, because I was there for my injury and not therapy, but I've always kind of wondered where that might have gone.

"Tom Brady does it and he wins a lot so it must work" I usually really like what you have to say, but I had to pause on this point. That's quite a leap - causation versus correlation, Kati.
@@anthonymicele8897 Neurofeedback can be hard to understand at first because its mindblowing, but I really liked her explanation about nerve endings. I really helped me see it to another level (excuse the English)
Fascinating! The massages are very interesting. I must say since moving to one of Australia's most beautiful country towns at the foot of the Grampians mountains has meant waaaaay less stress. No traffic, no crowds, no public transport, LOADS of birds, emu chasing (how dare they eat the horse food!) and gardens for days. Even if it's once every few months, get thee to the countryside or the coast. Bliss! xoxoxoxox
Kati and Laura, thank you SO much for this video. I was going through a particularly stressful night, and my body finally had enough and started sending me all sorts of signals that I was stressing out too much. As I laid anxious in my bed, you guys helped me so much, and I was able to purge so many negative emotions during this video. Remembering that we’re animals at our core, that anxiety is normal, and that our five senses are not tied to our prefrontal cortex were all solid things that helped put a damper on my stress and anxiety. Thank you again!!
Thank you Katie. Your so helpful helping me with my trauma stress & anger in my frustration against Oregon mental health department murders & criminals in my wife abduction & kidnapping 24/7 -365 A Day.
I was able to afford this type of Neuro-feedback a year ago. It was the best I felt regarding PTSD symptoms, depression and especially my anxiety. I called it my "Stillness." I'm even getting a tattoo saying, "Be Still." I was on my monthly tune-ups. Sadly, she stopped doing it. I've been trying to get my Therapist to buy the equipment and provide it. Neuro-feedback is the best. I recommend it if you can afford it or your insurance will fund it (usually when a Therapist provides it). Thanks for the educating video :)
Thank you SO much for sharing your experience! I was considering it myself to see how it helps and so I can show people what it looks like / feels like etc. xoxo
Kati...you should. My Therapist went too. You don't feel anything and you don't have to think about doing anything. It's not like biofeedback and not uncomfortable like TMS. It helped so much more than 2 mos of TMS did for me.
This is so important! I have anxiety and I immediately wanted to visit this place as soon as you starting interviewing the owner. She seems like such a great person who knows exactly how anxiety, stress, etc. can affect our brains and bodies. My favorite part was when she said that when a patient tells her, "There's something wrong with me." She tells them it is actually what is right with you! I'm going to use that when I'm feeling very anxious and stressed, and see if it makes a difference. I agree that we can't live without stress, but it is so hard to deal with when you have an overwhelming amount of stress. Thank you for this, Kati!! 🤟💜
Kati has been helping me navigate my headspace in a supportive format for so long....there are some great therapists/minds/people out there... and I'm really glad that she's one of them. What she brings to the table and how she does it has supported me (and hopefully supported the friends I've shared her care and videos with). Very human person, connecting with other human people... and trying to spread good. ...🙂.💛 Take care, Kati! You sure continue to help show me how!
Just about 1 year ago I suffered from anxiety and now I am completely fine so for everyone who is going throw anxiety I just want to say everything is going to be ok
Kati it's just crazy how your videos always come when I need them! It's almost scary, I was just thinking it would be amazing to have some advice for anxiety! Thank you so so much!!
Thanks Kati for doing this video. Anxiety and PTSD have always been a problem in my life. I would love to find a more holistic way to manage it. So, anyway, thanks for the video on neurofeedback.
Thank you for making this video! I’m in the process of doing LENS therapy (which is a type of Neurofeedback). I found LENS hard to explain because of the stroke that I had 9 months ago which effected my ability to express my language, but this video explains it very well. So thank you!
This might be my favorite video you've ever done. It was so insightful and gave me at least one new tool to get out of my head and back into peaceful, mindful living. More than anything though, it gave me much needed hope to realize my dream; I've long wanted to create a center like this for people struggling with depression or anxiety and folks who want to reconnect with their inner peace or connecting with the Divine, and now I see that it is totally possible to create a space like that. Thank you for giving me hope and purpose in pursuing that future! That will be my greatest weapon against depression and towards making the world a better place through following my passions and dream.
Im going to the Grand Canyon and I’m actually in the car right now. Im so stressed and anxious. But ur videos help me the most with calming down! 🥳❤️❤️
This was really helpful as I’m about to go to a residential treatment center across the country and I know they do neural feedback. I read about it and it intimidated me and made me feel unsettled, but after actually seeing how it works makes me way less anxious about it, so thank you!! Love all the great work you do, Kati!!!
In the 70's and 80's I worked on what was called Bio Feedback, the brain learns from the body, so the body also can help rewire the brain! Todays advancements in Neurofeedback are nothing short of a miracle.
I had no idea the brain could make such neat fractal imagery through neurofeedback! Art of different kinds (including painting my nails & doing makeup as those can be artforms in many ways), videogames, music, knitting & petting of animals are some of my favorite ways to calm stress. I also enjoy listening to your videos & those of Lofty Pursuits as you & Greg have voices that are very soothing to listen to & it's always fascinating information. I really don't have any true anxiety, but definitely stress with having Adenomyosis. Thankfully will be having a hysterectomy in May so after the 6ish week recovery, a good chunk of my stress will be gone.
I enjoyed this so much. Kati, thank you for what you do. I have so enjoyed watching your talks. I have been going to a wonderful counselor for two years; I never thought I would see a counselor for this long, but it has helped me tremendously. I'm highly sensitive; I'm an empath; I've been in a season of setting boundaries, and family and friend relationships are dropping like flies. I feel alone sometimes and then I realize how much better I feel without those people. And I'm becoming healthy, and I know I'll have better quality friends some day. Friends who have boundaries, and respect boundaries. It's an awesome goal to have! So I'll take being lonely, as I heal. Lonely, and for the most part, without drama. Yay! I do have some very dear friends, but we don't have things in common that facilitate going and doing things. But that's okay. "Activity/hang out" friends are on the horizon. Anyway, I loved this episode, and wanted you to know that I appreciate your insight, your cheerful and encouraging demeanor, and I think most of all I appreciate that you convey that there is most certainly hope. Two years ago I felt hopeless on a dire level. But if a person is willing to put the work in, and keep on keeping on, hope is not an option, it's a given. Tearfully yours, Samantha (Tears of joy)
Neurofeedback has helped me immensely with my ADD. At least the not being able to concentrate part. I could concentrate on reading, i was dosing off so much that i couldn't read a book. It doesn't do much about the other symptoms like not being able to finish what you start but i highly recommend neurofeedback.
23:03 I find it interesting when she says this, I remember when I was at a very anxious point in my life, I had recently removed the carpet from my room & ended up walking barefoot on the cold floor. I remember feeling the cold floor on my feet was oddly satisfying, it made me feel more real in a way.
Thank you Katie I needed that help. I've been struggling with this I had no friends stressing when everything is going bad and getting rushed. We need more of this. (First)
Reminds me of a lyric from the song *Beach Life-in-Death* by Car Seat Headrest: _It should be called anti-depression_ _As a friend of mine suggested_ _Because it's not the sadness that hurts you_ _It's the brain's reaction against it_
I watched this video because I was stressed and procrastinated too much. Nothing in here really surprised me because I know God’s character. Of course His creation is so beautiful and amazing.
She's speaking my language :D I love working with clients experiencing stress or anxiety because the approach can be holistic and tailored so well to them. Love all the neuroscience sprinkled in, I do find a bit of psycho-education can help clients normalise the process and knowledge is power - if you understand it it is easier to overcome it.
Hi Kati, when I was a kid my grandma was massaging me and she was touching my breasts but nothing else.. I was little so it didn't bother me because I didn't know that it isn't normal. I can only remember that I was coming home worried that my mum will be mad becouse of that massage, I don't know why. Now I feel disgusting and I don't know how to mention this to my therapist. I can't remember was that just a dream and time possibly changed my memory or that really happend, but if it was real: Did my grandma sexualy abuse me or this was something else?
Jenny Nelson it’s clearly bothering you a lot so it’s really important to talk to your therapist about it. If your not sure how to bring it up, you can read this question to them or even screenshot it and send it to them ahead of time. You got this!!! ❤️
You are already telling us in this more anonymous setting, so you are, if you will „practicing“ to also tell your therapist one day. Some things take a while until we feel ready to verbalize them.
This was so bravely told! I can't see why you shouldn't be able to share it with someone else or a therapist. It would do you wonderful things to share and work with because it's clearly bothering you 💗
I loved this video. I needed to hear exactly what anxiety is and how it affects our brain. Having things fully and thoroughly explained is such a stress reliever for me. Thank you very much!
Another great video and topic because so many don’t realize the affects of stress on our body and mentality. Love what you do and always find inspiration for my channel here!
That test for your brain was advised to me years ago but without insurance it's SOOO expensive... Well got insurance now so will be getting it soon. Thanks for all your videos
I use sertraline and hemp oil. The hemp oil as changed my life, would highly recommend it, as i used to bee so anxious that i couldn't leave the house. Love the alternatives you've told us, thanks. Have a great day everyone
When I got made redundant last year, it struck me with severe anxiety, still got it today but not as bad. It causes shooting pains and aching in my left arm, shoulder and hand. The doctor said my heart is fine and diagnosed with anxiety. I also get a headache, occasional lack of sleep, sore/tight throat, pain in random pressure points around my body. Then I became more aware of my body and started to fear for my own health by thinking I am dying from random things. It's a vicious cycle but my new job has weekly massarges which can help, I also joined a softball team.
I want you, yea you the person that's reading this, look in the mirror, and talk to yourself for as long as you need, you might cry, but trust me it's calming you will feel better.
I've been watching these videos hoping to be able to find some understanding with what I'm feeling. Watching the first couple of videos, I was saying yes I feel that to everything she was describing. With each week I feel farther away from it. I'm not stressed at my job, I'm so incredibly bored and unmotivated at my job. I'm not doing anything fun outside of work, I just feel so bored and depressed and I hold on to anger. This past weekend for the holidays I was listening to all of my siblings talk about all the exciting things they get to do, and it made me feel super down. I don't know if burnout is the right term to describe what I'm feeling anymore.
I have always said “I need music to survive”. Always. I don’t remember a time where music wasn’t involved in my everyday life. I used to think I would get into the music industry because I listened to so much, and knew so much about it, but learning to play instruments was to much stress for me. Instead, I do something I love. I draw or write. And now it makes perfect sense about being in Alpha mode. I often feel like I walk away from long music and art sessions feeling calmer and more put together... and this answers the why. It also connects those dots on why if I go without both... stress tends to compound and feel overwhelming. It’s because I’m not working on navigating it, I’m just trying to go around it. (And we all know what happens to a dam if you don’t let some water through; it builds up till it bursts. I’d rather not have to keep rebuilding my dam after I let myself get completely decimated. I have enough trauma to deal with at that point.) so this all makes perfect sense. I really do need music to survive. Time to implement it more into my process! 💛 (Also, go Seahawks! 💚💙)
You have been so helpful to me! I finally was able to reach out to a marriage counselor because of your videos. I have been assaulted in various different ways my whole life. So when my husband started to treat me badly i never noticed because he treats me better than anyone ever has. But my eyes were opened and he agreed to counseling. But our first appointment not 20 minutes in and the counselor said i should see a psychiatrist for possible Psychosis. I have seen your video on it. and i’m terrified to tell my counselor all the things i have to tell her ( the instances where my husband had treated me badly) I’m afraid she won’t believe me and will write it off as my psychosis/depression. I’m also afraid that my husband won’t corroborate my story, which will only further her belief that i made it all up. The vaginal scarring doesn’t lie and he has not denied it when i talk to him about it. I wrote her a letter because i don’t think I will be able to vocalize everything.How do you think my psychotherapist/ marriage counselor will handle this given that she believes i have psychosis????
Wow. This video made me feel very seen. Laura is an amazing person, what she has created is truly magnificent. I would love to visit someday. I’m definitely going to research whether a place like that exists where I live. Thank you for the incredibly insightful and helpful video, Kati! ❤️
The guest on this one I personally disagree with. Just my opinion but I dont believe the majority of stress now, in this time and age, are excessive and dangerous. But I love the way she speaks and that facility looks so awesome! I want to try a lot of those rooms. I even want to look into those therapy massages and if there are any in Houston. Love you Kati and I love your dedication to spread awareness of mental health in a way that helps people with mental illness. Thank you!
5 tools: 1) Yoga Nidra 2) Guided Meditation 3) Journal Writing 4) Going for a walk 5) reading One thing that surprised me was that Tom Brady actually does neurofeedback.
Hey Kati, I loveee your series so far! I even told a couple of friends about it, so they can watch it and understand my situation more. Which really helped out! I would love you to cover a topic within this series though, which is getting burned out because of chronical illness or other disabilities. Which isn't something you can't take a break from. For me personally that is a big subject that I would love to get some help with.
I've suffered from this for YEARS! It leaves me a shaking mess at times, but Ive been dealing with it for SO long..Looks like "hocus-pocus" to me, but Id LOVE to TRY IT!
Kati thank you so much for this video. I just realized that my trauma gets stored in my body as tension too, so that's why I can never really relax. I'm gonna look into how I can fix that. This center looks amazing, I would looove to go to a place like that ♥
Hi Kati! I had a question that has been on my mind for awhile now. I suffer from GAD, paranoia, and depression. I have been going to my psychologist for CBT, and talk therapy. It has help a lot. However my physical symptoms from my anxiety and stress is really effecting my day to day life. I have coped with heart palpitations, tight chest, and breathing. But in the past four months I have been dealing with feeling lightheaded, and very dizzy. It gets worse when I stand or move. I have been so scared of it I have isolated myself. And I am terrified to go out, go to the store, be with family, etc. I have been doing exposure therapy on my own, as well as yoga and exercise. But when my dizziness is really bad I stay in bed all day and it makes it worse. Do you have any tips or tricks to help with the strong physical symptoms of stress and anxiety? I love your videos and you’re an amazing person thank you! ❤️ #KatiFAQ

@@anthonymicele8897 Neurofeedback can be hard to understand at first because its mindblowing, but I really liked her explanation about nerve endings. I really helped me see it to another level (excuse the English)
I liked the lion example 🦁. What this woman is doing is amazing.
Fascinating! The massages are very interesting. I must say since moving to one of Australia's most beautiful country towns at the foot of the Grampians mountains has meant waaaaay less stress. No traffic, no crowds, no public transport, LOADS of birds, emu chasing (how dare they eat the horse food!) and gardens for days. Even if it's once every few months, get thee to the countryside or the coast. Bliss! xoxoxoxox
Kati and Laura, thank you SO much for this video. I was going through a particularly stressful night, and my body finally had enough and started sending me all sorts of signals that I was stressing out too much. As I laid anxious in my bed, you guys helped me so much, and I was able to purge so many negative emotions during this video. Remembering that we’re animals at our core, that anxiety is normal, and that our five senses are not tied to our prefrontal cortex were all solid things that helped put a damper on my stress and anxiety. Thank you again!!
Thank you Katie. Your so helpful helping me with my trauma
stress & anger in my frustration against Oregon mental health department murders & criminals in my wife abduction & kidnapping 24/7 -365 A Day.
youtube knows what I'm going thru. thank you for making this video I'm struggling really bad.
You have made me a much calmer, smarter and grounded person over the past year or so Kati. Thank you, with all of my heart ❣
I was able to afford this type of Neuro-feedback a year ago. It was the best I felt regarding PTSD symptoms, depression and especially my anxiety. I called it my "Stillness." I'm even getting a tattoo saying, "Be Still."
I was on my monthly tune-ups. Sadly, she stopped doing it. I've been trying to get my Therapist to buy the equipment and provide it. Neuro-feedback is the best. I recommend it if you can afford it or your insurance will fund it (usually when a Therapist provides it). Thanks for the educating video :)
Thank you SO much for sharing your experience! I was considering it myself to see how it helps and so I can show people what it looks like / feels like etc. xoxo
Kati...you should. My Therapist went too. You don't feel anything and you don't have to think about doing anything. It's not like biofeedback and not uncomfortable like TMS. It helped so much more than 2 mos of TMS did for me.
This is so important! I have anxiety and I immediately wanted to visit this place as soon as you starting interviewing the owner. She seems like such a great person who knows exactly how anxiety, stress, etc. can affect our brains and bodies. My favorite part was when she said that when a patient tells her, "There's something wrong with me." She tells them it is actually what is right with you! I'm going to use that when I'm feeling very anxious and stressed, and see if it makes a difference. I agree that we can't live without stress, but it is so hard to deal with when you have an overwhelming amount of stress. Thank you for this, Kati!! 🤟💜
As I was reading about anxiety and stress so thank you!
You are so welcome :) I hope it was helpful! xoxo
Kati has been helping me navigate my headspace in a supportive format for so long....there are some great therapists/minds/people out there... and I'm really glad that she's one of them.
What she brings to the table and how she does it has supported me (and hopefully supported the friends I've shared her care and videos with).
Very human person, connecting with other human people... and trying to spread good.
...🙂.💛
Take care, Kati!
You sure continue to help show me how!
Just about 1 year ago I suffered from anxiety and now I am completely fine so for everyone who is going throw anxiety I just want to say everything is going to be ok
SUFFOCATED???!?!!?
Kati it's just crazy how your videos always come when I need them! It's almost scary, I was just thinking it would be amazing to have some advice for anxiety! Thank you so so much!!
Thanks Kati for doing this video. Anxiety and PTSD have always been a problem in my life. I would love to find a more holistic way to manage it. So, anyway, thanks for the video on neurofeedback.
I’ve been feeling stressed and anxious the whole day but I’m not going to let that control me 😩
“We inherit emotion.” SO good. Such a great video!!
Thank you for making this video! I’m in the process of doing LENS therapy (which is a type of Neurofeedback). I found LENS hard to explain because of the stroke that I had 9 months ago which effected my ability to express my language, but this video explains it very well. So thank you!
This might be my favorite video you've ever done. It was so insightful and gave me at least one new tool to get out of my head and back into peaceful, mindful living. More than anything though, it gave me much needed hope to realize my dream; I've long wanted to create a center like this for people struggling with depression or anxiety and folks who want to reconnect with their inner peace or connecting with the Divine, and now I see that it is totally possible to create a space like that. Thank you for giving me hope and purpose in pursuing that future! That will be my greatest weapon against depression and towards making the world a better place through following my passions and dream.
Im going to the Grand Canyon and I’m actually in the car right now. Im so stressed and anxious. But ur videos help me the most with calming down! 🥳❤️❤️
Have fun!
This was really helpful as I’m about to go to a residential treatment center across the country and I know they do neural feedback. I read about it and it intimidated me and made me feel unsettled, but after actually seeing how it works makes me way less anxious about it, so thank you!! Love all the great work you do, Kati!!!
In the 70's and 80's I worked on what was called Bio Feedback, the brain learns from the body, so the body also can help rewire the brain! Todays advancements in Neurofeedback are nothing short of a miracle.
😍👍👍
I had no idea the brain could make such neat fractal imagery through neurofeedback! Art of different kinds (including painting my nails & doing makeup as those can be artforms in many ways), videogames, music, knitting & petting of animals are some of my favorite ways to calm stress. I also enjoy listening to your videos & those of Lofty Pursuits as you & Greg have voices that are very soothing to listen to & it's always fascinating information. I really don't have any true anxiety, but definitely stress with having Adenomyosis. Thankfully will be having a hysterectomy in May so after the 6ish week recovery, a good chunk of my stress will be gone.
I enjoyed this so much.
Kati, thank you for what you do. I have so enjoyed watching your talks. I have been going to a wonderful counselor for two years; I never thought I would see a counselor for this long, but it has helped me tremendously.
I'm highly sensitive; I'm an empath; I've been in a season of setting boundaries, and family and friend relationships are dropping like flies. I feel alone sometimes and then I realize how much better I feel without those people. And I'm becoming healthy, and I know I'll have better quality friends some day. Friends who have boundaries, and respect boundaries. It's an awesome goal to have!
So I'll take being lonely, as I heal.
Lonely, and for the most part, without drama. Yay!
I do have some very dear friends, but we don't have things in common that facilitate going and doing things. But that's okay. "Activity/hang out" friends are on the horizon.
Anyway, I loved this episode, and wanted you to know that I appreciate your insight, your cheerful and encouraging demeanor, and I think most of all I appreciate that you convey that there is most certainly hope.
Two years ago I felt hopeless on a dire level.
But if a person is willing to put the work in, and keep on keeping on, hope is not an option, it's a given.
Tearfully yours,
Samantha

Neurofeedback has helped me immensely with my ADD. At least the not being able to concentrate part. I could concentrate on reading, i was dosing off so much that i couldn't read a book. It doesn't do much about the other symptoms like not being able to finish what you start but i highly recommend neurofeedback.
23:03 I find it interesting when she says this, I remember when I was at a very anxious point in my life, I had recently removed the carpet from my room & ended up walking barefoot on the cold floor. I remember feeling the cold floor on my feet was oddly satisfying, it made me feel more real in a way.
Thank you Katie I needed that help. I've been struggling with this I had no friends stressing when everything is going bad and getting rushed. We need more of this. (First)
M&W woot woot to being 1st!!
Reminds me of a lyric from the song *Beach Life-in-Death* by Car Seat Headrest:
_It should be called anti-depression_
_As a friend of mine suggested_
_Because it's not the sadness that hurts you_
_It's the brain's reaction against it_
I watched this video because I was stressed and procrastinated too much. Nothing in here really surprised me because I know God’s character. Of course His creation is so beautiful and amazing.
Dear Kati, your work is so important and it truly helps! Thank you very much.
She's speaking my language :D I love working with clients experiencing stress or anxiety because the approach can be holistic and tailored so well to them. Love all the neuroscience sprinkled in, I do find a bit of psycho-education can help clients normalise the process and knowledge is power - if you understand it it is easier to overcome it.
This series is so cool Katie, your video's just keep improving. Proud of you and all the hard work you put in. Thanks so much for all the info
Hi Kati, when I was a kid my grandma was massaging me and she was touching my breasts but nothing else.. I was little so it didn't bother me because I didn't know that it isn't normal. I can only remember that I was coming home worried that my mum will be mad becouse of that massage, I don't know why. Now I feel disgusting and I don't know how to mention this to my therapist. I can't remember was that just a dream and time possibly changed my memory or that really happend, but if it was real: Did my grandma sexualy abuse me or this was something else?
Jenny Nelson it’s clearly bothering you a lot so it’s really important to talk to your therapist about it. If your not sure how to bring it up, you can read this question to them or even screenshot it and send it to them ahead of time. You got this!!! ❤️
It's obviously bothering you, you should really tell ur therapist, if u could say this on the internet then u can tell ur therapist too, good luck.
I'm so sorry Jenny, I hope you find the answers you need.
You are already telling us in this more anonymous setting, so you are, if you will „practicing“ to also tell your therapist one day. Some things take a while until we feel ready to verbalize them.
This was so bravely told! I can't see why you shouldn't be able to share it with someone else or a therapist. It would do you wonderful things to share and work with because it's clearly bothering you 💗
I loved this video. I needed to hear exactly what anxiety is and how it affects our brain. Having things fully and thoroughly explained is such a stress reliever for me.
Thank you very much!
I use a alpha Stim Machine and do neurofeedback I love them both
Another great video and topic because so many don’t realize the affects of stress on our body and mentality. Love what you do and always find inspiration for my channel here!
That test for your brain was advised to me years ago but without insurance it's SOOO expensive...
Well got insurance now so will be getting it soon. Thanks for all your videos
I use sertraline and hemp oil. The hemp oil as changed my life, would highly recommend it, as i used to bee so anxious that i couldn't leave the house. Love the alternatives you've told us, thanks. Have a great day everyone
this is one of the most educational video i've watched ever. Thanks for this Kati 💜 worth sharing !
I love this video. What a great interview. I've just started therapy for social anxiety and this topic is so close to home.
Thanks kati this helps me a lot especially with work

When I got made redundant last year, it struck me with severe anxiety, still got it today but not as bad. It causes shooting pains and aching in my left arm, shoulder and hand. The doctor said my heart is fine and diagnosed with anxiety. I also get a headache, occasional lack of sleep, sore/tight throat, pain in random pressure points around my body. Then I became more aware of my body and started to fear for my own health by thinking I am dying from random things. It's a vicious cycle but my new job has weekly massarges which can help, I also joined a softball team.
Thank you Kati, love your channel. It's got an answer to literally every counselling Q I have! xoxo
I want you, yea you the person that's reading this, look in the mirror, and talk to yourself for as long as you need, you might cry, but trust me it's calming you will feel better.
never clicked on a video so fast. this series is so cool
YAY!! xoxo
I've been watching these videos hoping to be able to find some understanding with what I'm feeling. Watching the first couple of videos, I was saying yes I feel that to everything she was describing. With each week I feel farther away from it. I'm not stressed at my job, I'm so incredibly bored and unmotivated at my job. I'm not doing anything fun outside of work, I just feel so bored and depressed and I hold on to anger. This past weekend for the holidays I was listening to all of my siblings talk about all the exciting things they get to do, and it made me feel super down. I don't know if burnout is the right term to describe what I'm feeling anymore.
I have always said “I need music to survive”. Always. I don’t remember a time where music wasn’t involved in my everyday life. I used to think I would get into the music industry because I listened to so much, and knew so much about it, but learning to play instruments was to much stress for me. Instead, I do something I love. I draw or write. And now it makes perfect sense about being in Alpha mode. I often feel like I walk away from long music and art sessions feeling calmer and more put together... and this answers the why. It also connects those dots on why if I go without both... stress tends to compound and feel overwhelming. It’s because I’m not working on navigating it, I’m just trying to go around it. (And we all know what happens to a dam if you don’t let some water through; it builds up till it bursts. I’d rather not have to keep rebuilding my dam after I let myself get completely decimated. I have enough trauma to deal with at that point.) so this all makes perfect sense. I really do need music to survive. Time to implement it more into my process! 💛 (Also, go Seahawks! 💚💙)
You have been so helpful to me! I finally was able to reach out to a marriage counselor because of your videos. I have been assaulted in various different ways my whole life. So when my husband started to treat me badly i never noticed because he treats me better than anyone ever has. But my eyes were opened and he agreed to counseling. But our first appointment not 20 minutes in and the counselor said i should see a psychiatrist for possible Psychosis. I have seen your video on it. and i’m terrified to tell my counselor all the things i have to tell her ( the instances where my husband had treated me badly) I’m afraid she won’t believe me and will write it off as my psychosis/depression. I’m also afraid that my husband won’t corroborate my story, which will only further her belief that i made it all up. The vaginal scarring doesn’t lie and he has not denied it when i talk to him about it. I wrote her a letter because i don’t think I will be able to vocalize everything.How do you think my psychotherapist/ marriage counselor will handle this given that she believes i have psychosis????
Great video very helpful. Thanks
Thank you for everything you're doing! It's been so helpful learning about these topics❤️
thank you for this, kati. i've been loving this series!
Neuroplasticity is clearly underestimated, however I'm glad the information is spreading~
Maybe I'll try some meditation too. Cool Video
This is life, and everything. Great video!
Wow, thanks to the sponsor and to you Kati for doing this.
Selalu jd inspirasi. Utk saya mengengbangkan ilmu yg saya jalani sekarng..
Wow. This video made me feel very seen. Laura is an amazing person, what she has created is truly magnificent. I would love to visit someday. I’m definitely going to research whether a place like that exists where I live. Thank you for the incredibly insightful and helpful video, Kati! ❤️
Another brilliant video in the series Kati. Yet again another thing I learnt about this and myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Awe so glad you are finding them helpful! You are so welcome :) xoxo
The guest on this one I personally disagree with. Just my opinion but I dont believe the majority of stress now, in this time and age, are excessive and dangerous.
But I love the way she speaks and that facility looks so awesome! I want to try a lot of those rooms. I even want to look into those therapy massages and if there are any in Houston.
Love you Kati and I love your dedication to spread awareness of mental health in a way that helps people with mental illness. Thank you!
I love the way u talk Kate!
5 tools: 1) Yoga Nidra 2) Guided Meditation 3) Journal Writing 4) Going for a walk 5) reading One thing that surprised me was that Tom Brady actually does neurofeedback.
Thanks Kati for this episode . I hope you keep the good job !
Omg, I want to go there So badly! That dark room! 💕 Wish I could Live there!
Hey Kati, I loveee your series so far! I even told a couple of friends about it, so they can watch it and understand my situation more. Which really helped out!
I would love you to cover a topic within this series though, which is getting burned out because of chronical illness or other disabilities. Which isn't something you can't take a break from. For me personally that is a big subject that I would love to get some help with.
*Thank you Kati! You're a outstanding lady truly💗💞 I pray you and your loved ones be blessed by our Loving creator, Jesus Christ.*
Anxiety attacks are a pain it feels like heart attack and the thing that sucks about anxiety its all in your head
Thank you so much Kati. I have been dealing with anxiety for a long time. Hopefully it will get better.
Just what I need
I've suffered from this for YEARS! It leaves me a shaking mess at times, but Ive been dealing with it for SO long..Looks like "hocus-pocus" to me, but Id LOVE to TRY IT!
Kati thank you so much for this video. I just realized that my trauma gets stored in my body as tension too, so that's why I can never really relax. I'm gonna look into how I can fix that. This center looks amazing, I would looove to go to a place like that ♥
Thank you so much for making these videos.
Wow, what a beautiful place she has! I would love to go to a place like that. The art room & that beach room would definitely be my go to rooms.
Yes this helped me soo much! Thx
Hi Kati! I had a question that has been on my mind for awhile now. I suffer from GAD, paranoia, and depression. I have been going to my psychologist for CBT, and talk therapy. It has help a lot. However my physical symptoms from my anxiety and stress is really effecting my day to day life.
I have coped with heart palpitations, tight chest, and breathing. But in the past four months I have been dealing with feeling lightheaded, and very dizzy. It gets worse when I stand or move. I have been so scared of it I have isolated myself. And I am terrified to go out, go to the store, be with family, etc.
I have been doing exposure therapy on my own, as well as yoga and exercise. But when my dizziness is really bad I stay in bed all day and it makes it worse.
Do you have any tips or tricks to help with the strong physical symptoms of stress and anxiety?
I love your videos and you’re an amazing person thank you! ❤️ #KatiFAQ
Did you ever get this figured out?
Really needed this, thank you Katie 💙
You are so welcome :) I hope it was helpful! xoxo
Hey Kati hope you had an amazing weekend thank you for the amazing videos
Love the rooms, they need more of these
