Mental health is often misunderstood; and therapy may be even more stigmatized than mental illness. So Kyle and leading psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula show you what a live therapy session looks like.
Kyle's mental health history:
Kyle has been dealing with depression since the age of 8. He has undergone cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a past therapist. Lately, he has also been dealing with anxiety. In this discussion, he'll share why.
Psychotherapy may be an effective treatment option for you and any mental health issues you may be facing. It can help you manage your emotions, change your behavior, and get motivated to use self care strategies at home.
However, not all therapy looks the same. Go to MedCircle.com to watch comprehensive video series on all types of therapy including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), somatic experiencing (SE) therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and much more.

MedCircle Definitely watch a lot of comedians on TH-cam. :) More broadly, I learned to listen to my body and accept what’s going on for me in the moment. In Metta practice there is a saying, there is no one in the universe more deserving of your love and kindness, than you yourself. That has to be thing number one. Make sure your oxygen is flowing before helping other passengers. ☮️
I make sure that my spouse & I get outside - to sit, take a walk, plant a tree, mow the lawn. It helps us both gain emotional clarity & balance. Refocuses us.
I read books I really enjoy and give myself permission to put one down that doesn’t feel good in anyway. I don’t try to talk myself into it, which feels really good as well.
If you want to get rid of the dog poop, you need to get rid of the dog. I'd advise you to look into nonduality as it has a tendency to get rid of the suffering self.
Prepare and cook my own organic food (and growing some), exercise, gardening, artwork, music/drumming, being in Nature, being outside barefoot, playing with my kitty...=D these are my therapies that keep the good energy levels and feelings of well-being!
We Love you Kyle!
Swimming is an excellent antidote to anxiety and depression - diving into cold water forces your awareness into the present moment and into your entire body. If I can get myself to the ocean for a swim I can always shift a mood, a shower is the next best thing. I also feel that my intuition works really well around water.
That's what I need.
Me too! I also have great insights when swimming! 🌼
Absolutely, used to swim every week but since corona have not dared to go to the pool and it's showing :-(
I heard someone say that cold water can help because you're doing a real world experience that physically raises your heart rate and internal energy and then when you leave the water the energy and heart rate goes down. Sort of like you're matching the anxious energy to a real world bodily reaction and then when you leave the water and warm up the anxiousness also goes down.
U either know your stuff or have good intuition. Water is the emotional element, so mastering and gaining control over your mobility in water will translate to better emotional control and mobility. Also if you cleanse the waters of your body this will be analogous to you cleansing your emotions, like going on a fast or cleanse
I got teary watching this video. Dr. Ramani is just the best. She listens so sincerely and understands everything you're going through. Ugh, please be my mother!?! 😭😅♥️ And I totally understand the feelings regarding animal cruelty. I cry at the cute videos, so I can only imagine what I'm gonna go through during the unpleasant ones.
I agree. But I'm a senior. She's just so nice and real. She just makes me feel good.
Kyle is a real example of strength. Healing hugs to you Kyle :)
Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for sharing this. This normalises therapy and empowers us to seek emotional wellness, and teaches us all how to better manage anxiety, which everyone experiences. I have immeasurable respect for both Kyle and for Dr. Ramani for their incredible generosity.
We should normalize getting help when you you need it, not normalize therapy, that’s just nuts! We should make therapy more ACCESSIBLE not normal! Thanks.
Powerful...”can you be ok with not being ok?”. One of my ways to take care of myself is to ‘being ok to not be ok’ plus many other combinations of things like music, health care (healthy food and exercise), art therapy, playing ukulele, essential oils, connection to friends and family, funny videos, cat and puppy pictures and videos. Acceptance!!!! Powerful! It’s ok to not be ok with viewing the harm of animals, because it’s not ok to harm animals. ❤️
I am a Stage 3 Cancer survivor and didn't have the anxiety during my treatments that I have now. Part of is was because I had so many free supports and felt part of a community. I don't have those supports now and I am very isolated. The other part is that Cancer is concrete. I knew what I was facing. Yes, at the time it was made clear I could die. They weren't sure if the cancer had spread or if the treatments would work. But I felt I was going to give it my best. I was in survival mode. Fighting something concrete. But the future during a pandemic is uncertain. Housing market is strange, stocks are supposedly up but for how long, etc. My anxiety is over the unknown. I also don't have access to my friends and family so the lack of connection is affecting me. The other thing is that I NEVER suffered from the depression I do now when I lived in a developing country. My daily struggles were real. Every day was a struggle but there were real. Also, my expectations were low. Comforts weren't available. Period the end. But I had sooo much community and the culture encouraged us to care for one another. I don't have that here in Vancouver, BC Canada. North American expectations are high yet we are encouraged to do it alone. To be an Island. To shoot for money, money, money at the expense of our emotional health. Even mental health is unachievable for someone who needs treatment but does have money. And that is the biggest, most important support most can have.
Hi Diana. Deeply touched reading your comments. Totally agree with your observations about lack of community and life being tyrannised by money. Stay strong and know that at lest we have healing resources both online and within ourselves. God Bless.
@@sharonanderson5622 Thank you so much! Your words mean a lot.
Hi Diana. I came across your comments today, and I can relate to everything you’ve said. Hope you’re doing well.🌷
@@susanbaumann2199 Thanks so much!
@@dcostanzino They are many cancer survivors groups on FB & they are very supportive and kind.
for my anxiety when going to bed, i just put any video from dr ramini, it is soo soothing and calming hearing her speak, it actually helps. Thank you Dr Ramini and also to you Kyle for showing vulnerability and representing so many of us on that chair
That’s crazy I do this too! Ever since the New Year and it always gets me to sleep! Thought I would be the only one!
I relate 100% to what Kyle said about animal welfare! My background was in animal care as well and I can't handle pain of animals and feel guilty when I play "ignorant" but if I get more into it I just cry like, all day. But feel like I need to see and get involved with these things to be able to do something about it.
I totally relate like I want to make a difference but feel stuck
I used to feel the same. Living as a vegan since 3 years now, it really has changed for the better. Now I feel like I can do something and indeed am doing so. 🥰
I relate so much with Kyle, it's what drove me to become vegetarian a year ago
What is the name of the Netflix program?
What program was that?
Thank you! Kyle’s feelings regarding animals deeply resonated with me! I appreciate Dr. Ramani’s suggestions which I will apply!
3 years later and this still has so much value. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!
I feel that way when looking at the political conflicts going on right now. Kyle, you seem like such a caring, sensitive person; this was a great session. I agree that you can be an advocate for animals without watching the horrors.
Kyle did such a good job here opening up and giving us an opportunity to receive advice on a topic that is so prevalent right now, which is how to deal with anxiety. I plan on sharing some of Dr. Ramani's advice with a friend who's in a bad spot right now. This channel is such a blessing!
THANK U KYLE! UR SO GOOD. My thing as devout Catholic is to pray a rosary. I get distracted but I do it my own way. It will CERTAINLY put you to sleep within 5min. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy goes fast. Shorter prayers. I think it's worth a try!!! It's really meditation 😌 🥰
Kyle, I love your raw emotion. I feel the same as you regarding Animal abuse. It breaks me and I cry too.
This was VERY HELPFUL. Love this chanel and It helps me not feel so alone in my illness.♥️Thank You Med Circle
I desperately need a therapist like dr. Ramani. She listens, she really gets it, and she gives great perspective and guidance. I’ve seen several and they haven’t fit it’s frustrating.
I started to cry when you started to cry, Kyle. Sending you love. I have rescued bunnies and on Facebook bunny pages sometimes terrible posts show up and it really hurts to know I can't help
I wish I can meet dr ramani she so amazing I got so much insight
thanks to her generosity of sharing herself on these forums, we all get to 'meet' her - energetically at least! :)
Lol currently watching this in my car before a therapy session 😂
I feel you on that! I would totally do the same thing!! 😅😬
Also I hope it went well!!
Good , keep take therapy session .
My therapy sesh is next month LOL
Kyle be strong! I understand how you feel, I'm really learning a lot from you and Dr. Ramani, please be strong and Godbless
Thanks for the raw input..I got teary hearing you talking about the animal then I saw you reached for the tissue and I cried..I feel like reaching my hands to you and give you hugs.. I feel your vulnerabilities..you and Dr. Ramani helped me a lot..thank you so much
You are a caring person. Thank you for your honesty and you are not alone.
It was interesting to watch the natural resistance to committing to or embracing what the therapist is suggesting and presenting. Can so relate. It speaks to your relationship the trust it takes to rise above this and just try to imagine what the therapist is offering could actually apply to you. Such a stretch moment.
Hi Kyle, I felt identified with you and just wanna let you know that I support you, I get really upset and emotional about animal mills and mistreatments. A huge hug for you and you are stronger than you think, thank you for sharing something so personal that could help many people, including me. Thank you.
Love Dr. Ramani! Thank you Kyle for being vulnerable and for your love of animals. I can definitely apply this to my personal situations.
Really like Dr Ramani not just for her knowledge but also how she articulates it so well. And love Kyle, even more after this video. He has courage to be vulnerable shows he’s very compassionate and genuine person. Praying that he gets the very best in life! ❤️❤️
Thank you dr Ramani for all you do for us AMAZING I'm really struggling I've just realised that he is a narcissist I'm battling with anxiety its soooo painful Thank you for 🙏🙏👏👏👏❤🌹💐💜
I relate to what Kyle is saying when I witness people suffering or being gaslighted en masse vis-a-vis politics and propaganda. It is a level of frustration and hopelessness that effects me physically.
Kyle! You sound like an Empath or an HSP. I am and can identify. I am unable to even watch the ASPCA commercials without feeling disturbed. It just hurts too much. I think it’s a super trait. I can ignore and not look and cover my ears, but I don’t think I’ll ever reach a place where I can handle it like those who feel much less strongly.
No such thing as empath
Thank you so much for sharing. I don’t relate necessarily with the animal thing but the way it makes you feel, I completely relate like 1:1. Me and my mom have a terrible relationship and now i’m back at home with her. I put a lot of pressure on myself (and her) that we need to have a great relationship because that’s how it’s supposed to be and when she starts telling me to do things a certain way that she likes, she doesn’t get that I have found my own way of doing it that I like. And it really stresses me out to have to explain that to her because she feels like i’m pushing her away and it just turns into this huge argument and so every time a thought of my relationship with her comes up I just get anxious for no reason. This helped a lot. Now i see that I don’t HAVE to have a great relationship with her. She’s a person. Just a regular person. I can’t be best friends with everyone. So just knowing that already relieves a lot of pressure off of me. Sorry I just noticed how long this got and i’m venting lol but hopefully people can relate. Anyways but what also gives me anxiety is knowing that family members are gonna judge me for not wanting to try so hard to have a good relationship with her. So that can be pretty unsettling and i don’t know how I can work on that. If you read this whole thing and have some kind words for me i’d appreciate it 🥺
madeinjosh thank you for sharing all you did. It was both brave and helpful. I’m maybe that kind of mother to my 13 year old son and I desperately want to change because I’m afraid I’ll lose him - and seeing what you say - maybe fairly so. I try to control him because I’m scared for him. Scared he’ll make the wrong decisions and end up hurt in life which terrifies me and breaks my heart. He’s so important to me. I know that isn’t the right thing to do, but it’s my own anxiety and life that isn’t under control. I want him to be a certain way so people won’t hurt him in life. It feels like panic building in me now - both the unknowns for him and the pushing him away from me by constantly correcting him. You know, no matter what he does “wrong”, I ultimately blame myself for it - like I couldn’t figure out a way to show him better. I couldn’t be a better mother, couldn’t get my own life together and ease up on him. This video showed me how to start backing up and thinking about how I can give myself a break if We get things wrong. And you’ve shown me how he’ll be ok on his own and that there’s a chance we can be ok later in life if I start working now. Thank you and I hope you find a more peaceful place one day with your mom. And now we know, it’s ok to let it be ok if you don’t.
Loved this so much - not only the initial information around anxiety, but then the practical guidance around how to start dealing with it. Kyle thank you for sharing your vulnerability so we can all get the benefit. And thank you Dr Ramani for being so available and sooo Helpful!
I really appreciate showing a virtual session and how it works. That is a new way to reach out and brake the isolation circle, especially now with the COVID. I will recommend this video to my clients and others asking about how it's possible to create that. Thank you for doing this.
The virtual sessions give freedom and the ability to access a therapist when needed.
🌳
Kyle, thank you for allowing us to know you in this way.
I have family members who although functioning and enjoying life, struggle greatly with an uneasy general anxiety that seems to not be related to anything... as if it was the disposition they were born with.
God alone knows the depths of our hearts and minds, He created us.
I am praying for you as I pray for them... that Jesus will make Himself real to you and comfort you with His presence.
Seek Him friend.
I am an animal activist in a vegan, and I completely understand what Kyle is going through. And it absolutely breaks my heart to see these videos. One way I have dealt with it was to watch it and be aware, and to donate to organizations like PETA, lady free thinker and other organizations that help the animals. Even sign petitions they are very powerful
Angie Bengivengo PETA’s material is very hard to watch. I support them and I am vegan too but I can’t watch anything about animal cruelty, circuses, rodeos etc. it would be like watching a child or anyone being abused. I can’t do it and I’m ok with not being ok about it because it’s wrong.
Thank you for this. As a therapist it is always so valuable to see how others work and validate your own work. I appreciate the vulnerability to share online. It was also such a celebration to see that your zoom was almost as bad as mine is with the cutting in and out. The crappy connection has been my biggest barrier in connecting with clients who pixel out endlessly, or who see me pixel out and then get robot voice.
Are you a therapist will you help me
Wonderful per usual Dr. Ramani! And thanks Kyle for being so vulnerable and honest. With your thoughtful questions and great communication skills you make this content so useful, at least for me! Thanks to you both, I can't afford therapy so this content really helps!
Thank you for sharing.
Setting healthy boundaries for ourselves is so important.🙏
I love love love this 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Kyle, you’re soooo not alone!! I suffer anxiety and panic disorder along with CPTSD. I watch all of your videos with Dr Ramani- you BOTH have helped me in many ways to put words to my feelings. I thank you ☺️
Also maintaining our connections with our family members to and at the same time allowing each ones their own personal space by using headphones while using their phones and yet being there for each other gives one a feeling of safety, security and well-being even though one is locked indoors due to the pandemic.🙏
I loved this session! So beautiful and heartfelt. Definitely felt tears in response to yours.
This was fantastic- both from a clinical and therapeutic perspective. Thank you to you both for putting yourselves out there. 🧡
I loved this so much!! So many wisdom nuggets!! Dr. Ramani is totally in her zone and so amazing!
Constant, underlying anxiety is something I experienced majority of my life regardless of the pandemic.
Hands down the best one yet 🙏💪💕
Oh my God I feel you Kyle!! I cried with you... I get it. The best thing I ever did was stop watching it so I could handle it enough emotionally so I could physically show up and be part of the change!!
I’ve only recently found medcircle. Thank you, Dr Ramani for this session. You are so kind and wonderful and so incredibly generous with your knowledge. And Kyle, I know many are saying this, but I am exactly the same. I am highly sensitive and just the thought of any mistreatment of animals makes me sob. I am working through it (not often successfully) and I hope you find your way. I also deal with anxiety but have been off meds for more than a decade now - a big part of it I attribute to my yoga practice.
Being alone can also give you anxiety .. abandonment anxiety and a pre-emotion of grief
Why Kyle is struggling with meditating is the approach to meditation. Meditation is not about trying to focus on anything. It is about being with phenomena of thoughts, emotions, external stimuli without judging it, without forcing yourself to “get back on track and focus on meditating” Sometimes guided meditations where they have us focus on imagining and visualizing is not always what we need. For sleep perhaps try a body scan meditation. It’s difficult to calm the mind when the body is still holding tension. Instead of thinking “Oh no I’m thinking about work again” it’s more about observing the thoughts you’re having about work and not trying to shove them away because what you resist persists. The more energy you put towards resisting or getting rid of the thoughts, the more it will persist. Allow those thoughts to exist, but don’t entertain them , or believe them. They just simply exist. That’s all. And once you acknowledge the thoughts gently, they will dissipate. Meditation is getting in touch with the inner observer. Neutral approach. If you pressure yourself to meditate, or do it perfectly, it won’t happen. You will improve with practice like all things. Try gentler with yourself.
It is ok to not be ok with what is wrong in the world. It doesn't mean we need to watch terrible events and somehow be ok with it. It is ok to know that you have boundaries when it comes to certain things. Respect your own boundaries. We need to honor and respect our own limits because that is about being a responsible adult. "Getting there" is about switching gears and looking at specific events that can contribute to aiding this situation. People who do not rule the world can't solve all the world's problems but we can contribute in a smaller way to solutions.
Sensitivity comes in many forms and can mean not being able to watch abuse of any form. Again, it's ok. We protect people and we protect the vulnerable parts of ourselves as we protect younger more vulnerable children. I have found that learning about yourself as having different parts can be useful. We can be adult-like, parent-like, and childlike. The vulnerability can be managed with one part caring for the other part. I doubt you as an adult or a parent would force a child to watch something that can create emotional distress of any form. So I say: be the best parent to yourself that you can be.
I found this comment both very insightful and helpful. I wouldn't be surprised if you were a counselor/therapist/psychologist, etc. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Thank you for your vulnerability - it was beautiful!!
Thank you so much for this. Thank you Dr. Ramani and especially thank you Kyle for volunteering and sharing. I just wanted you to know that you made a huge difference for me and how grateful I am.
I'm loving this episode
Would love to see more live sessions. For me, I just get too afraid to call anyone to make an appointment so it's very helpful to see things like this and it makes me feel more willing to pick up the phone.
One on one virtual therapy sessions are so therapeutic.
Kyle thank you so much for this, I feel your pain! I have these type of thoughts and the anguish I feel about the horrible treatment of animals is real. It’s such a trigger especially at night. I hope you have found inner peace and that you are doing well.🙏🏼💚 I love this video!
Same here
Self care is very important. Doing the little things that keep one fit; eating at proper times, having a good morning routine, doing some exercise or working out to attain mental clarity. Keeping some time to rest. Not allowing more negative stimulation like watching fearful movies instead of comedy or family content. Making an effort to purposefully and intentionally stay in a positive mind set inspite of not being able to step out due to the pandemic. Yes practicing mindfulness that is so vital in the present situation to keep one in positive vibrations. Helping out in the house work and trying to be kind to yourself and to others at home.🙏
Dr. Ramani is the best.
I'm going to turn on the notifications. I'm might not be able to follow it live (time zone issues), but I definitely don't want to miss it. Kudos to Kyle and Dr. Ramani!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Could you please do a video on the management of depression/anxiety-induced-distraction? For example, not being able to enjoy the process of activities one loves, and consequenly, resorting to random wasteful binging leading to self-guilt. Thanks!
So frustrating to miss parts of what she is saying as it's all so priceless!!
I'm loving zoom therapy. I see the loss but I also see the gain. The clients relaxation is almost Palpable. I love to watch them slide down their beds comfy chairs sofas,their safe space becomes an invite into their closed world.
This video, is SO GOOD! More of this please!!!!!!
Oh Kyle, never lose your sensitivity I embrace your tears
I love these. I don't know why but I'm super nervous about trying online therapy because I get anxiety taking on the phone which includes face tuning etc. Have no idea why. No problem meeting or seeing people in person. I really think I could benefit from therapy but I can't seem to make that call 😫
Try not to be so hard on yourself. I learned to " break my thoughts down". I hadn't heard of this.
Have you?
It’s not easy at all. I hope you get to somehow. I call in for my adult daughter and with her. It’s kind of exposure therapy right now, exposure to trying to continue the good and hard work she’s being doing with her therapist online instead of in person. It’s not ideal but it’s something. This too will pass. Try not to put your own self care on pause because of the pandemic. Take care of you! You’re important!
Often I get anxiety about having anxiety. So accepting the anxiety is more relaxing.
This was one of the best videos I've watched! Kyle, thank you for sharing your vulnerability and Dr. Ramani for showing what a real therapy session should look like. This gives a person who has never engaged with a therapist an idea of what to expect from a session and for those who have, what a session should look like (in case they are not comfortable with their therapist).
Love Dr. Ramani, thank you.
I loved this session. I really enjoy this videos . I have been learning a lot.
this was insanely enlightening
KYLE!!! Don't beat urself up! BE EMOTIONAL. I AM. Ihave always had my emotions show up and I learned early on that they come and go. And I just talk thru them. And it matters what you say when you are having UR feelings. You do not have be the #1 consumer of video evidence of violence against animals. I do not watch any terrible thing and I do not condone abuse. I don't have to see it to condemn it.
A million thanks! I am so anxious right now. I mostly worry about the future but this helped me. Kyle, you are very brave doing this and talking about this subject.
Kyle, I’m pleased i watched this, I thought there was something wrong with me, feeling upset over animals, thank you for airing this.
Thank You Kyle and Dr Ramani! A good session indeed!
Rip Tide!
Sending you a big warm hug Kyle, allowing yourself to sé been seen in SM being so vulnerable. Your in the care of the Queen of physiology, herself, the highly esteemed dr Ramini. You are not alone, i was in & out of those anxiety States yesterday, I do try the snap band on my wrist, I breathe, I visited an old school buddy I hadn't seen for years & I know my conversation was one long rant, started ruminating & I had to have learned it from dr Ramini, I was able to say out long
"just forget about it and let it go, and I did, I also added I don't care what I said. Freedom at last, hopefully I will continue to be able to cope with my anxiety or that inner critic. It's become unplugged. Good luck. PS. You are soo very handsome close up. Be happy Kyle. I refuse to watch anything violent.
Also Jon Kabbit Zinn does a brilliant body scan, I go to sleep every single night listening to it, I park my phone 3 feet behind me on a pillow. Hope it works for you 🙏
Reading it sell calms anxiety because you're refocusing on the story that you're reading in the book
Kyle - I totally understand not being able to watch anything involving animals suffering especially now. However there are a lot of animals out there getting very well cared for and loved, that's also worth a look. I have recently joined facebook groups where I can share photos of my animals with others and enjoy their photos. There is a great sense of sharing love, it really lifts my mood - it's like online "pet therapy". And you don't need to own a donkey, for example, to join "Donkeys Make Me Happy" you just need to be a lover of donkeys. It may be a nice antidote for someone with your sensitivity.
Thank you both for sharing this! ❤
Oh my goodness this was soo good ...I felt like crying..this resonates with what I am going through..I never thought that it was possible to give myself permission...
I became VERY involved in local politics over a few hot button issues. It felt very weighty and became so traumatizing I even quit watching the city council meetings and I quit participating in the on line forums.
I used to feel bad that I had to become so detached from something I had been so passionate about. Then I reframed it as, "I work for the school district and I am serving my community by educating children to explore and study issues and become independent thinkers."
Love watching you two… and wanted to tell you Kyle that you are not alone in what you expressed re animal welfare… I have been doing pet rescue & fostering for over 20 yrs. Yet I still get upset when I see or hear anything about puppy mills, pet neglect & abuse.. (FYI- I did not look at that show you referenced either.. same reasons as you). I almost quit rescue one time because I felt that I just could not take the emotional impact any longer. But then I knew there would be one less person looking out for them. I don’t think there is anything wrong with how you feel. I had to accept that about myself as well. God created us with a heart for animals ❤️ probably because He knew there would be evil in this world and that animals would need caring ppl to look out for them…. Keep up the great work and do not change who you are! God be with you snd Dr Romani 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Underlying anxiety is from being low in the B vitamins. And zinc. I used to have anxiety. All kinds. I had to medicate. Now nope I don’t it’s very important to get these vitamins. Eat right to get them. Supplements. Try not to use synthetic B vitamins. I promise you this will help 🤗
So helpful! Many thanks to both of you :-)
This is really great session Med Circle team, Thanks Dr. Ramani and Kyle. I have similar problem these days as I just joining a forum and I start having this anxiety and then I feel a bit better after changing setting (to not getting notification from my email) I even uninstall the application, but still each day I feel the need of be part of that forum.
Watched you guys just now. Loved it. Tremendously helpful capsule because, as a therapist myself, it was a joy and privilege to slip into both your shoes.
This was so helpful. Mindfulness is such an amazing technique for anxiety and many other issues. Ty
❤️❤️❤️ listen to music, help those who can’t help themselves, animals
Very brave! Kyle did a great job! I wonder if the folks who send those videos can be encouraged to take responsible action themselves. Maybe that way they become advocates alongside Kyle rather than him feeling responsible for being the main advocate.
I learned alot from Dr. Ramani.
The riptide comparison is mind-blowing! 🤯
For real deep breathing therapy, take up playing a wind instrument. I play French horn. I am totally relaxed after practicing. for an hour.
Thats an amazing idea. I feel a similar thing for my classical singing practice.
My an anxiety is from my family and bad people even, sometimes you see yourself stuck in the problem and you can’t change it. Be adaptable with your anxiety.
Tenderness with ourselves is the key.
Thanks for sharing the rubber band technique to snap away negative self talk and to both of you for sharing these sessions with us. 💖🙏💙
If you have an issue with getting to sleep, try spending several days in a row with NO artificial light. Keep curtains and blinds open in your home, get up when the sun wakes you, go to sleep when night time starts to make you feel tired. If you have to work from home, move your work around your home, wherever the daylight is best (like a cat following the sunshine). In only a few days you can reset your body clock. And don't feel guilty if your body is telling you it needs to nap, or sleep; a regular cycle is 4-5hrs, so you may be someone who lives better on a sleep for 4-5hrs, get up and work for 4-5hrs, sleep again for 4-5hrs etc. As for feelings about helplessness or guilt about not being about to stop animal cruelty, or feeling like it's your responsibility to advocate, sounds to me like you have childhood issues about feeling helpless in situation that you couldn't control. Parental divorce, death of a grandparent etc are all things we can't control, and perhaps your wanting to be a saviour or hero to those animals rooted in childhood anxiety of situations you had no control over.
I had a similar situation too. I began to notice that I often felt sorry for childrens. For example, if I saw a child (12-14 years old) without parents or poorly dressed, I would literally start crying, wondering where his parents were, whether this child was living in a good family, etc. Later I was diagnosed with depression and clinical anxiety. That's when I realised what it was all about, because a couple of years ago I wouldn't have even paid attention to such things
I have a similar issue with animals & I agree with Dr Rameni. I advocate for animals but I don’t watch the cruelty films anymore. I read the information & sign petitions, write to governments. I realise that I cannot do more as I don’t have the emotional or monetary resources to do more.
Fast forward 4 months. This global crisis has become America's crisis. Prolonged isolation, worry about finances, food, shelter, job, and our health, is so overwhelming. I distract myself with hobbies, and try to make my environment as soothing as possible. I play my piano, listen to therapeutic music, and try to enjoy nature as much as possible. I care for my cat and reach out to my immediate family frequently. The isolation, and worry about everything from job loss, finances, health of myself and loved ones, to providing for myself, has triggered panic attacks, and nightmares. This is a collective nightmare. I give myself permission to fail and succeed at self care. What I need and how I feel shift from moment to moment. It is okay. I have signed on to work on a political campaign to exercise what little power I have over this situation. That feels positive.
No one 🛌 more than Kyle Kittelson 😂
Dr. Ramani is the Best💗
I cannot watch, read about, hear about anything that depicts animal cruelty or neglect. I will change the channel on TV when ASPCA commercials come on, then change back when it is over. If I see a cattle hauler on the road, I become very upset and will pray for the animals that may be on the way to be killed. I have ASD 1, which may be the reason it affects me this way. I do support the ASPCA, and have 6 dogs and 4 cats. They were all strays or adopted from animal shelters.
I cry and pray, too. You are not alone with that. Luckily we don't have those ads over here. And I won't check what ASPCA is.
I’m so glad they brought this up so many friends of mine struggle with this! I totally understand you’re not alone x

I am absolutely out of control when I see anything depicting animal cruelty or neglect. I have unfriended people on FB who continue to post this type or I run out of the room and plug my ears during an upsetting animal commercial or just switching channels and get a glimpse of something horrendous, upsets me for a long time. My mom told me I was always like this and she would forbid me to watch certain shows, even cartoons, that would involve animals in danger, or suffering, or death.
Kyle-I understand how deep that hurt and reaction and anxiety is, that you feel.
I am hyper vigilant now about it. I know it’s almost a phobia maybe? Idk what it might be called, but it’s a REAL thing.
Thanks Kyle for bringing it up and hearing what Dr Ramani had to suggest.
❤️🙏🏻
im so grateful for this sesiones I learn so much with every one I watch, what Kile is commenting on about animal abuse, is so relatable I had that same experience when I went vegan and I got into animal advocacy, and I swear those videos ge talks about, man it's tough! to see the evil that humans are capable of, finally it came to a point where I stopped watching or subscribing to anything that shows that for my mental health, I felt not only anxious and sad, but also was losing hope for humankind..
Love virtual therapy!!
It felt much easier to chat; like, I never left my comfort zone Vs the scary full-on therapy room 🤭
Agree with the comment re; privacy though.
