I am a Health Coach with a background in psychology. Everything Richard teaches here is 100% correct and vital to your mental and physical health. Thank you Richard!
For anybody aiming to heal, and currently living on the northern hemisphere of planet earth, my personal tip would be growing. Grow tomatoes, grow your favorite marijuana strain if you into that, grow something. Working with soil, learning about how a plant grows, and taking care of it is a great way to discipline yourself. You learn a lot while trying to grow something out of a seed. It is an experience and can be a real spiritual one. NATURE is the greatest teacher we forgot about.
Oh you are so right, and I hope everyone will take your advice! One of the things I'm dealing with is physical disability that keeps me from gardening (or taking long hikes with my dog, or collecting firewood). Digging, feeling the soil and the sunshine, cultivating nurturing something and watching it grow, some of my happiest and most healing times. It is one of many losses I am dealing with but that is not the point, the point is that you are so right and I hope everyone takes your advice who is able.
@@succytash same here, dealing with health issues that have contributed to depression, anxiety, fight, flight, fawn and freeze-conditioning. Trying to find a way how to heal and support my mental health despite physical suffering. It's the hardest thing, but just watching these videos help me to differentiate and separate what i possibly can do to makes myself feel at least somewhat better. Just so i can be better at being my own best friend i suppose. Learning a way in which i could better deal with all of it... :) i think even disabled people can find a creative way to grow something... just learning to ask help so that we can get out there and be in the sun, be more involved, more active and not feel ashamed of our own lives i think would be a good starting point! :)
afakkob yab Excellent advice. I’m currently enjoying my tomatoes and flowers I planted several months ago, when I last watched this video. 🥰 Beauty and joy are all around, we just have to learn to cultivate it for ourselves. 🐛🦋
I actually planted a garden literally and figuratively the day I walked away from my narcissistic abusive relationship, it's a good reminder of my daily commitment to self care, watching progress over time, and dealing with the frustration of the unexpected, pests, weather, the specific temperaments of each plant. If you really want to learn patience and discipline try cactus from seed. Holy hell, it's wonder any of them make it to mature plant hood.
So this morning up early intentions in place ....road map for the day planned . Then it hit me !!!! Richard you keep speaking about flashbacks I thought it was a occasional thought from the past ..... well it's only hit me this morning when I started to do this programme that mine is like a running commentary as I try to function daily .Its like a computer virus running in the background I didn't even know it was happening till I went into complete focus with intention . So I have been multitasking before it was a thing !!!!! With the task in hand and also the flashback on rewind 24/7 WOW This has truly opened my eyes . Thank You Richard ......Onwards & Upwards .
what I realised just now is that the reason therapy helped me was not because of things I was told there but because I wanted to please my therapist by showing up each week with a list of things I did to make myself feel and fucntion better. Not ideal, I'm still a huuuge people pleaser but I at least made myself get in a state that is far from depression just by remembering to eat, sleep, take a shower, take care of responsibilities before they pile up
"Do- not think, not read, not watch"- YES. This is so key. Doing, not just being passive. Also, the Puritans would have approved of today's advice. #6 and #7 aren't on the playlist yet, so I almost missed them and am so happy and relieved to have found them and seen that you are still doing these. THANK YOU!
It seems so simple, and yet it’s so powerful. The way to create a healthy life is to set a routine that supports calm, stable normalcy that is in tune with the body. Period . 🌱🌻🐿
Love how you stall long enough for me to actually decide to go and get the feckin’ pen and paper. I enjoy these common sense commanding videos that make me realize I haven’t been doing the written lists and I still should be doing it to further healing even after a year and a half.
Listened to the first part. then I went out and walked on the river trail at 7:15. Otherwise I just keep putting it of. Fantastic and Plan to keep it up.
Hi Rich, I'm sorry for having been unpleasant with you at times. I just wanted to say, with heartfelt sincerity, how grateful I am that you are in my life (even if it's only on You Tube). You helped to save my life if not even single handedly at times. Your presence in my life has been nothing short of a tremendous blessing. I owe you a lot and I hope I can repay your kindness one day.
I've been chaotic and unorganized my whole life, and never found anything that could help me with the basics to how to get disciplined. Until I found this Fortress Tutorial. Thank you. I love that it's simple, practical, and that there is no "motivational" nonsense (like you have to be "great", "the strongest", "most epic", or stupid motivation stories that don't get you anywhere). I've already quit weed months ago, all by myself, and after watching this I'm glad I did it. But there is still so much work to do. I need to learn how to FOCUS again, like a fucking kid. lol. And your stuff is so helpful on that. =)
Omg!! This is the brutal truth. It is painful. Especially when you have lived for everyone else. It is bizarre to allow the feelings to come up but I am grateful to focus on my intent to heal.
Thank you, this is really helping me. Your model has helped me understand what has been happening to me and your practical steps to address these issues really help.
Amazing!! How you managed to fit all that information and deliver it through such a simple, impactful strategy is just genius! All the books on psychosomatics drilled down for people WOW!! Serious respect and gratitude Richard 🙏 Everyone needs to apply this, it's a life time commitment but it gets easier and YOU have made a real gift out of it. God bless you! Liked, shared and applied. I dont know what else I can do to give back.. Thanks so so much your generosity is huge! ❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
Been doing this for two weeks now. It does definitely change my state. It does work. Richards advise and harsh words does make a real difference. Thanks Mr Grannon.
Toughing it out with cathartic sweats and tears. It is a bitter pill more often than not, but a surefire cure. Focus is key. Getting up with sunrise light through translucent-curtained windows is less jolting than an alarm. Following this channel in the areas I find myself weak the evening before bedtime to be processed during sleep is what I found useful.
Yes! The thing I have greatly underestimated in my healing process and overall in my life (obviously they go together as it is a result of trauma) turned out to be elementary in my healing - structure, and discipline. There is a time for complexity and depth and there is one as relevant, that needs to be oriented around the simple things like structure and discipline.
Thank you Richard, you are a brilliant teacher who delivers with humour from a trustworthy place. Regulating the dis-regulated. Benefits. Everyone! Looking forward to more of your information.
Hey Richard, I really appreciate you and the content you've been giving us for free. This is really impacting me and I'm starting to see the light out of the dark hole i'm in. Until now the perspective, tools and techniques that you share here have been helpful for me and i actually want to follow them since my intent is to heal. God bless you for making this available to us.
The part where you said, "And you write it in the real world," 😅🥵 Okay, daddy. (Don't judge me, I'm still healing. 🤣) No, but for real. This is fantastic and a much-needed hope boost. Thank you. 🙏🏻✨️
I’m recommitting to this. Thank you so much Richard, for all of your information, dedication, experience, and sharing it with those of us truly wanting to heal. It’s such a process, and I’m truly grateful for your insight, always.
Are you able to add 6 and 7 to the playlist? I’ve sent the playlist to my 19 yr old son,, hoping it will get through to him to help himself. Thank you for putting this out there for people to help themselves to heal!
Your series is tremendous! I've never been so influenced as I am watching your videos. Thank you a million times for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world.
Thanks Richard, this is a brilliant kick up the backside needed plus it's the stuff to help us take responsibility for our own healing and state and get up and live.
for my whole life, I never said I love you ,but this time, I will say loudly" I love you, therapist,,Mr. Richard Grannon! and thank you for your nice help!
Thank you for these series of videos Richard. Your system and advice is changing my life for the better. It's extremely difficult but necessary work. I wish for you so much goodness. All the best.
Richard you’re a genius. I’ve been reading and listening so many different therapies. Trying with different approaches throughout my life and I landed in to your videos by miracle. You nailed it like no one else.
WOW Richard that woke me up lad !!!! Reverberating in the freshness of hearing something new and no messin around . Phew Powerful Stuff . This is the key to the final door for me ... Onwards And Upwards I go .... Thank You .... Get Up Early........... 😁
I cannot thank you enough for your channel and videos - your approach makes me feel like I finally have hope to change my life after spending half of it on antidepressants that don't work. Thank you so much for putting this content out here for all of us trying to heal and don't know where to start
I'm learning and its working🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 flash backs are down, connection to the last narcisist almost gone complitly....wow! My son, for the first time in his 16 years and many professionals trying to talk to him and him refusing to hear anything, before they even start, is listening to your program.... this one!!!😲 Autism, PTSD, OCD, to name just a few.😔 He is being calmed down by your voice and your presentation. I'm bit scared to be this excited. So greatfull, beyond words. And also🤣.... how are you so good at imitating people. I literally go back to see it again, in this case, the drunken voice. Never stop being silly. Thank you for your amazing work, you are changing lives, saving lives even. God bless! That's all I can say... So greatfull. If you haven't been through what you've been through, you'd never be helping all of us. When you can finily step back and see the whole picture of this earthly experience, you can observe the miracle and the grace of life, and think to your self, all the pain, chelanges, struggle... somehow.... it all made sense at the end.
Day 1 of setting intentions...heal, watch Richard's videos. feel good. Also, do some shit I don't want to do but will benefit me, like tidy up and exercise. Only my second day of setting my alarm for 5 days and it is probably the most hopeful I felt in 20 years. Your videos are life changing to me. I noticed I had been emotionally abusive to ONE person in my life and only that one person (who had cause many triggers in me), it was a wake up call that I was in fight mode and it was the only time I had been as the other times had been the 3 other F's. Now I am starting to catch myself.
I’m writing here as there is a slight change Richard might read this. I bought the bulk pack of your courses and am working my way through them before I buy the bulk pack of 4 new courses. Thanks for selling these at a reasonable price. I’m finding them really helpful as I dig my way out of this cluster fuck and gain a toe hold on life. One Question though. In some of your courses you mentioned that you made a lot of progress in your own recovery when you did a month or so of deep self evaluation. This sounded really interesting. When I contemplate doing it I believe I would find a course on it of benefit as I don’t know what I don’t know and questions and insights that a course or book might raise could elucidate aspects of myself that I am currently unaware are weird or unhelpful. Oh I’m also working through the CPTSD book by Pete Walker which is an excellent resource
Did you mean Pete Walker? Though Pete Davidson, being BPD and having BDE, might have an interesting take on CPTSD I'm thinking I probably wouldn't take his advice. :D
@@arlotonkin6416 Your substitution of Pete Davidson was brilliant though, the idea of him doing any kind of mental health coaching was just the laugh I needed so thank you Arlo. :)
succytash yeah oddly I very nearly wrote Paul Walker 😬 then I over-corrected to a weirder choice of Pete Davidson, who would really put the mental into Mental Health Coaching
As always these videos are on point. It's a wonderful challenge.. Do I care enough about myself to heal?! Can I move from thinking about the problem to living in solution!?
My mother didn't feed me healthfully but only gave me "food" that was easiest for her to fill my stomach & forget I existed. Guess what that taught me to do?
Thanks so much for this video, Richard. What do we do on days where we are really struggling and cannot resist escaping/engaging in addictive behaviours etc.? Thanks
I really love your videos! This is actually the first one that I honestly don't think applies for me fully. I have c-ptsd, but my life has always been full of order. I did everything because I should, I had to, was expected to etc. by extremely strict parents, teachers in an eastern-european strict school-system, abusive church, abusive husband. Order, order, order. Now that I am becoming more free, I am beginning to experience more and more relaxation, freedom and creativity, because I allow myself to do what I want at times. Is it possible that we are different at this point?
My abusive X used to say that to me, and he would sabotage my education and everything I was trying to do. I haven’t met a guy yet who hasn’t because all I seem to know how to do is attract abusive narcissists. I hate my life and I hate hearing those words... I get it, nobody is coming to save me.., I can’t even listen to the rest
Hi Richard, hello y'all. First of all, awesome content mate, this is heavy gold you are providing. I just wanted to add something in relation to the eating part. I just took a course on Introduction to Food and Health by Stanford U at Coursera, I won't leave the link here to avoid the spamming thing, just google it, it's free and extremely easy, I think you could make it in a single go. It focuses on teaching eating methods not to increase or lose weight, but in developing healthy eating habits to avoid diseases in the long run such as diabetes, kidneys diseases, and the list goes on. You would be impressed. I thought it could work when getting into this routine. Again, awesome content Richard. Also, I wanted to know your stand on smoking weed. I realized I've been smoking weed like cigarettes but I' just managed to cut it, but with this load, it gets heavy no to want to puff puff at least once a day. Best,
Richard, we met in 2020 and it’s 2021.. we will meet one way of another .. how old is the video..I have not issues in here. I have an schedule already. You said it travel to ..is the way people meet.. you are a little grumpy.. you need to make a knot on my tie..I don’t know how to do it..WAIT..My hair is on the way..My body is hard as a rock..exercise.. you make me feel good..Wait you say that we will have Fun..Order and fun..Thank you, Richard.
There's some little things I see that I don't fully agree with, but everyone is different and I can understand why it was added in the video the way it was, for completeness sake. Not everyone needs 8 hours of sleep, and some people just don't function right by sleeping so much. For most geeks and hackers, I'd generally say to go to bed when you're tired and get rid of any distractions. Yes, the average person may be able to fall asleep within 15 minutes, but depending on if you suffer from issues that are not psychological, this may take longer. A *lot* of people cheat with sleeping aids, melatonin (this has it's uses, but people rely on it too much) and so on. I feel the best way to go about such in a non-invasive way is putting yourself in delta state. Another observation in a different video you mentioned brain waves and such weren't valid/dysregulation was caused by being locked up in mental states. If anyone researches neurofeedback you'd see that this isn't the case. I'd argue that if you're dysregulated and you've never felt happy, making sure that your brain waves are in the correct functioning order, and allowing yourself to feel and be happy is the first step to acknowledging you can feel that way in the first place. Then work backwards on how to get there on your own.
Random fact : if you put a whatever color shirt or panties or socks in a washing machine with some red clothing and the red clothing fades and stains the other pieces of clothing, the only parts that are going to keep their original color are lace and parts previously soaked in sweat (like in the armpit area).

Yay, Richard’s reunited with his big beautiful white board! 🔥💪 Demons of the Apocalypse are cowering in fear 👹
Marina! 😃😘

well it's only hit me this morning when I started to do this programme that mine is like a running commentary as I try to function daily .Its like a computer virus running in the background I didn't even know it was happening till I went into complete focus with intention .
So I have been multitasking before it was a thing !!!!!
With the task in hand and also the flashback on rewind 24/7
WOW This has truly opened my eyes .
Thank You Richard ......Onwards & Upwards .
If it's going to be, it's up to me~
We already thunk about it ; I like him he down 2 earth
what I realised just now is that the reason therapy helped me was not because of things I was told there but because I wanted to please my therapist by showing up each week with a list of things I did to make myself feel and fucntion better. Not ideal, I'm still a huuuge people pleaser but I at least made myself get in a state that is far from depression just by remembering to eat, sleep, take a shower, take care of responsibilities before they pile up

Not sure if I should be happy or worried that the white board has grown in size...
My 1st thought was... Oh Shit! He's breaking out the BIG board! 😉
One of the best and most concise vids I’ve seen to date 👍🏻
Been doing this for two weeks now. It does definitely change my state. It does work.
Richards advise and harsh words does make a real difference.
Thanks Mr Grannon.
Toughing it out with cathartic sweats and tears. It is a bitter pill more often than not, but a surefire cure.
Focus is key. Getting up with sunrise light through translucent-curtained windows is less jolting than an alarm.
Following this channel in the areas I find myself weak the evening before bedtime to be processed during sleep is what I found useful.

It really works this.. I even struggle going away from home though because I need this structure so much! I’m in the early days though. Thank you ❤
Paused the video to drink a glass of water. Thanks Richard. Now on to the next steps...

As always these videos are on point. It's a wonderful challenge.. Do I care enough about myself to heal?! Can I move from thinking about the problem to living in solution!?
Thank you!
My mother didn't feed me healthfully but only gave me "food" that was easiest for her to fill my stomach & forget I existed. Guess what that taught me to do?
great video thanks
Thanks so much for this video, Richard.
What do we do on days where we are really struggling and cannot resist escaping/engaging in addictive behaviours etc.? Thanks
Thank you sir! Very helpful 😊
I really love your videos! This is actually the first one that I honestly don't think applies for me fully. I have c-ptsd, but my life has always been full of order. I did everything because I should, I had to, was expected to etc. by extremely strict parents, teachers in an eastern-european strict school-system, abusive church, abusive husband. Order, order, order. Now that I am becoming more free, I am beginning to experience more and more relaxation, freedom and creativity, because I allow myself to do what I want at times. Is it possible that we are different at this point?
Wish we could be mates, you're ace! Keep up the inspiring work! Thank you :)
Thank you ❣️
You've opened my eyes. Wish I could meet you.
Génial ! 👏🏻
Thank you
Getting up earlier to get Physical exercise is making all the difference
I've drifted away from this exercise a few times now. Getting at it again...😅

"Tears come out of your nose and snot runs down your chin" 16:05. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Travel to Bangladesh. Wow how did you pick that? I am from there.
Will you update the playlist with these newer videos please?
Oh, my goodness... the post-party suicidal tuesday 😂... damn, that was harsh in those days.
My abusive X used to say that to me, and he would sabotage my education and everything I was trying to do. I haven’t met a guy yet who hasn’t because all I seem to know how to do is attract abusive narcissists. I hate my life and I hate hearing those words... I get it, nobody is coming to save me.., I can’t even listen to the rest
3 years now to see my relation in your videos.
intent and healing
I like the video of the GOOSE HUGGING the girl LOL.
Hi Richard, hello y'all. First of all, awesome content mate, this is heavy gold you are providing. I just wanted to add something in relation to the eating part. I just took a course on Introduction to Food and Health by Stanford U at Coursera, I won't leave the link here to avoid the spamming thing, just google it, it's free and extremely easy, I think you could make it in a single go. It focuses on teaching eating methods not to increase or lose weight, but in developing healthy eating habits to avoid diseases in the long run such as diabetes, kidneys diseases, and the list goes on. You would be impressed. I thought it could work when getting into this routine. Again, awesome content Richard. Also, I wanted to know your stand on smoking weed. I realized I've been smoking weed like cigarettes but I' just managed to cut it, but with this load, it gets heavy no to want to puff puff at least once a day. Best,
I did the hand mnemonic. Will that do? Also about that not meeting bit....
Richard, we met in 2020 and it’s 2021.. we will meet one way of another .. how old is the video..I have not issues in here. I have an schedule already. You said it travel to ..is the way people meet.. you are a little grumpy.. you need to make a knot on my tie..I don’t know how to do it..WAIT..My hair is on the way..My body is hard as a rock..exercise.. you make me feel good..Wait you say that we will have Fun..Order and fun..Thank you, Richard.
There's some little things I see that I don't fully agree with, but everyone is different and I can understand why it was added in the video the way it was, for completeness sake.
Not everyone needs 8 hours of sleep, and some people just don't function right by sleeping so much. For most geeks and hackers, I'd generally say to go to bed when you're tired and get rid of any distractions. Yes, the average person may be able to fall asleep within 15 minutes, but depending on if you suffer from issues that are not psychological, this may take longer. A *lot* of people cheat with sleeping aids, melatonin (this has it's uses, but people rely on it too much) and so on. I feel the best way to go about such in a non-invasive way is putting yourself in delta state.
Another observation in a different video you mentioned brain waves and such weren't valid/dysregulation was caused by being locked up in mental states. If anyone researches neurofeedback you'd see that this isn't the case. I'd argue that if you're dysregulated and you've never felt happy, making sure that your brain waves are in the correct functioning order, and allowing yourself to feel and be happy is the first step to acknowledging you can feel that way in the first place. Then work backwards on how to get there on your own.
Random fact : if you put a whatever color shirt or panties or socks in a washing machine with some red clothing and the red clothing fades and stains the other pieces of clothing, the only parts that are going to keep their original color are lace and parts previously soaked in sweat (like in the armpit area).
I can't find a healthy place to heal what do you suggest I do ?
20:42 🙏🏼
I was surprised the playlist ended at 5.
