Do you think you could do an “ask Kati anything” on self harm? A couple people I know cut themselves and I’d be interested in learning more on the subject.
Kati, I just love your honesty and directness. You are so real, down to earth, and such a comfort. You have helped me discover my own flaws, and I appreciate that so much. I can’t tell you how important you have been in my life. You’ve helped me so much more than my actual therapist (I know that means it’s time to find a new therapist.) I am indebted to you for my happy new life and for being with me through my trauma recovery and the loss of my mom. You are amazing! Blessings to you and Sean!!
I’d love more videos about your perspective on ED’s. You know that voice so well, and it’s easier to identify it in myself when I hear you saying ED thoughts
I can't take my kitty with me but I do have purring videos of him on my phone. I asked if it was okay to take my phone out and look at them if I need calming. She said yes and she loves my kitty too 😻
Hey Kati I heard someone mention selective mutism, I had it when I was in elementary school and I was little, I didn’t talk at all around teachers, staff and my classmates but I would go home and talk and everything would be fine and normal,looking back at it i used to struggle to figure out why I did this, I didn’t realize it was anxiety based driven, just to think at such a young age we can experience anxiety
i dont know why, but this episode was perfect for me. all the topics covered, especially towards the ends, were things i needed to hear. i notice only a few thousands consistently watch the series, but i just want to say that we are very thankful for the time and effort you provide for this. it helps people like me who is exploring their options and resources with my personal mental health problems. it makes me feel less alone and makes me more in touch with my humanity, in a way.
My Ed has been horribleeee today. This helped me a lot today. I have relapsed the last few weeks and i don’t know how to get back on track. My therapist (who does work with Ed patients) wants me to eat 2 meals a day. I am trying to get back on track
Kati, I am 40 and have suffered from anorexia since the age of 13, and I also have CPTSD. I was wondering why you decided to specialise in eating disorders rather than other areas?
I had selective mutism from basically from what I remember as a probably from 3 till 13 yrs old. I had to get through it and overcame it myself out of force being forced my family and in school
@TheKawasaki250 bruh, this is highly academic. Migraine science is a research interest and specialty of mine. Which part of this is not legitimate information to you?

Kate, thank you. You're supporting me so much, i can't even describe!
Can't believe we are on episode 127! Way to be consistent Kati! Well done! ⭐️👏⭐️👏

these questions were so relatable so I found this video sooooo eye opening and helpful

Omg! I’m so happy you’ve posted in the morning. Thursday are always my kati Morton days, and it makes work much easier, when I can listen to you!
Good morning :) You are so welcome!
Thank you for answering our questions 💓💓 I love the Protector idea! I'm going to try some tomorrow in my session 😻
Of course!!
I can't take my kitty with me but I do have purring videos of him on my phone. I asked if it was okay to take my phone out and look at them if I need calming. She said yes and she loves my kitty too 😻
I love that! Sounds very calming.
I might have to take some videos of this handsome boy in my pfp xD

I can't wait til I get Traumaized. I've already read The Body Keeps the Score, which was excellent. Thanks for all you do Kati. Xxx
Thank you Kati. I’m grateful for all you do to help everyone around the 🌍. Such a beautiful soul! Blessings to you 💯🙏🏽💫✨✌🏽🔥💙
Kati, I can’t find the link to your ”Inner child workshop” in the description?! Where can I find it? ❤️
go to "the shop" at her website. i tried to post the direct link, but it gets deleted.
@@aam6545 Thanks plenty! You’re a gem! 🙂

I just got disability and they didn't even tell me WHICH diagnosed condition qualified me :/ love gov't red tape.
Migraine is a genetic disorder, and stress is not a cause of migraine, but it can trigger a migraine event. See SEEDS for migraine for other triggers.
I honestly don't know how you can believe something like this when you can find legitimate information.
