This is legit one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. I might not even be exaggerating. Not just for DBT, not just for mental health, but just everything in general. Wow. This is significantly better than my experiences with therapists
Literally. I cannot believe how you hit everything I needed point by point. Some videos are too long and scientific, I really need to know the basics and then what to do. Thank you so much.
I held my breath for 30 seconds the first time and doubled that at one minute the second. It felt SO EMPOWERING to hold onto that uncomfortable sensation in a way, I’m so glad I watched this video!
This is one of your best videos. Often, they explain the why behind the bad, but don't put as much time into the how of the good. I love how you integrate the lesson into the breathing exercise. Thabk you!
Thank you for this video. Really informative and practical. I have BPD and OCPD, it's feels like a battle with 2 polarising conditions that pull in different directions. I also teach mindfulness in primary schools which aswell as helping the children helps myself.
Hi! I’m a nurse and I applaud you for making this visualization. Breath work is so very important. When we get our breath (lungs) under control, we then can directly influence our heart too. The heart and lungs work together to oxygenate and nourish the body. When you’re anxious, and your heart is beating so fast, and you get all hot and sweaty (like you’re holding your breath.) YOU have the power to take control of your heart by first taking control of your breath. Breathe in and hold it. Then purse your lips and breathe out slllooowwwwllllyyyy. Just like you allow the discomfort of pain in other parts of your body, allow the discomfort of your anxious heart to be one with you. Once you single your heart out and you feel it beating inside your chest, and you let it do it’s thing while you breathheeeee, you’ll soon see: the slower you breathe, the slower your heart beats- the less anxious you’ll feel. I always tell my patients: ✨don’t knock the power of 10 DEEP BREATHS✨ This is coming from an anxious nurse who has practiced this more times than I can count, who worked through C*VID in a cardiovascular unit ❤️ I saw horrible things and dealt with a lifetime of traumatic experiences, but when I allow myself to breathe, and accept that I have this knowledge; this experience, I then feel empowered to know that there is something I can do to help with this feeling in my chest. (Spoiler, it’s BREATHE!) I know it might seem too simple or ‘woo-woo’ at first glance, but there is a physiological, scientific profound madness behind the magic, your heart and lungs work together and we have the power to work out breath! Moral of the story, breatheeee. I hope this helps❤.
how did you stop numbing them? Was the numbing volunatry or involuntarily? I'm numb to everything besides anger and anxiety. I don't do it purposely and can't find out how to stop. How did you learn to stop numbing your emotions?
@@jenniferclarke900 Look for them in your body. Sit and focus only on your body to pinpoint the location of your emotion. Our feelings live in our nervous system so there is no reason to involve thoughts. Focus on your body. Locate it. Allow it to be. Focus, don't run. When you move your awareness from your "mind" to your body it becomes a physical sensation instead of an intolerable feeling, and we are more able to allow them to rise and then fade away.
@@jenniferclarke900 I’ll add my experiences and opinion here as well, being a trauma survivor and losing nearly 30 yrs of my life fighting with it. I could feel few emotions but when I felt them they were intense, I can’t describe how intense honestly. I had NO control over my emotions until I learned about DBT, mindfulness and being present. “The Body Keeps The Score” is the book that laid the foundation for my journey to who I am just a year later! These tools in DBT/CBT therapy are absolutely life saving and they are so overlooked. Well, that’s changing recently, more therapist are excited to share it these days!
I am just blown away that you are describing my inner world and giving me so many tips to feel the sensations and allow them to add bin flow instead of running to go get a chocolate chip cookie. Thank you kindly
@@SelfHelpToons you’re so welcome. I am doing my own inner work and your videos are helping me so much to understand what I’m going through. By the way I wanted to make a donation but when I went to the buy coffee site for some reason it wouldn’t go through. No worries I’ll try again later this evening. By the way well I was trying to get it to work I was experiencing all kinds of “agitated” body sensations, jaw clenching, etc, lol! So I had the chance to practice acceptance. I didn’t get 100% and yet I know this is a journey🙃☺️
I held my breath 10 seconds longer the first time cause it was distracting to hear you talk about other stuff, however, the second time I was very aware of the discomfort cause that's what you were talking about it so I was less able to let it happen
Thank you so much! I have been dealing with anxiety because I thought I had a medical condition based on an article I read, and have come to realize what I’m battling is just negative thoughts because of what I read, and increasing my anxiety. I resonated with this video so much!
Thank you for making these videos. Their life-changing and life-saving. These videos help me through my roughest moments in my life. thank you very much.❤️
The accepting of a feeling and not fighting it is what I do when I get way too high. I can’t get weed panic attacks because I have mastered the skill of just accepting the feelings I have and letting them happen. It’s much harder with regular sober emotions because it’s not nearly as clear to me that they would go away and with weed I don’t shame myself for feeling anxious
I came here because I became interested in dbt. There are two categories, but I don't know which one to look at first. Did you study psychology and work on cartoons yourself? I think it's a great content.
Often if habitually suppressed, yes. I often ultimately get migraines from it, as I don't really identify my intense anger despite a crushing headache being present during stress/frustration, until I get a migraine which doesn't physically allow me to continue ignore my emotions/feelings that are present. I then NEED to go and calm down and it doesn't go away until I an regulated again... I often have facial pain and TMJ due to grinding and clenching my teeth in order to unintentionally suppress it also.
Thnx, finally a wonderful explanation on this topic, it's.my.forever issue, should have learned this from my.parents, but sometimes this is not possible So we end up always struggling with every inch of Emotion It's beautiful to welcome them in such a simple way, they soften Thanx you
Great channel. Very helpful. Thank you so much for the great effort you’re doing. May I ask what is the software you are using for the animation, I love it.
Im so bad at abusing physically/verbally my boyfriend when I have a bad day. I've been in therapy 2 years and nothing works. 🥺 How can you accept being angry without acting?
Could very well be Lyme disease and/or co infection which is missed more often than not just keep in mind. It's unbelievable the psychiatric and psychological issues that come along with the physical issues as well.
The sensations you talked about are different for each individuals. That's why doctors having difficulties finding them because they're there from the emotions effects

I was tought math, chemistry all that staff in school but no one tought me how to deal with emotions. Thanks for this valuable information
Right!?! This should be standard education throughout the school education experience from kindergarten to grad.

When we accept the discomfort we automatically get more acceptance tolerance to it.I guess we flow with it better.Amazing!!!
Great point!

Dbt has helped me so much!! I use to be on a war path everyday and now I know how to calm myself and not act on first emotion!
SO POWERFUL AND HELPFUL☺️😊👏🏻💪🏻🤗
Thanks, glad you think so!
The first time I held my breath for 18s the second time I held it for 57s
I held for 23 the first time and 48 the next. 👍🏻
I held my breath 10 seconds longer the first time cause it was distracting to hear you talk about other stuff, however, the second time I was very aware of the discomfort cause that's what you were talking about it so I was less able to let it happen
Same!
Same!
Held my breath for 62 seconds
Wow!
This is the most well done video about emotions i have ever seen in my entire healing journey! Good job and thank you!! :)

Second breath was longer just noting its ok to have the panic there

Did you study psychology and work on cartoons yourself? I think it's a great content.
Thanks! I have an MA in psychology and I make the cartoons myself.
Wow from 44 to 62 seconds
When people are angry, do they really feel like their head is actually going to explode?! :/
Often if habitually suppressed, yes.
I often ultimately get migraines from it, as I don't really identify my intense anger despite a crushing headache being present during stress/frustration, until I get a migraine which doesn't physically allow me to continue ignore my emotions/feelings that are present.

Breathe in 7 seconds, hold for 3, then imagine you're exhaling all the air into your heart. It's pretty calming.
After imagining the exhale process,when to really exhale ?
Love this!!! The breathing exercise is brilliant
What? ! My count of holding my breath went from 49 to 90!!!
Approval seeking behavior
I love your videos so so much. They have been extremely helpful for me. Thank you ❤
