As a therapist that specializes in Anxiety Disorders and OCD, I have learned what works and what does not work in calming one’s anxiety. In this video, I describe the biggest mistake that people make when trying to NOT have anxiety. I also review one of my favorite paradoxical methods for coping with anxiety or intrusive thoughts that I call, “I. A.M.” In my opinion, this is possibly my most important and significant video on the subject of treating anxiety. I would love to hear what you think.

Iv cut ties with my mom thankfully at age 54. Too many years of dealing with her shaming and blaming me. I recently was able to face hey disrespectful, toxic behaviour head on, it was terrifying but I did it. 🎉🎉🎉😅 Keep going on this. Iv done more to help myself than any therapist..sadly. If you are determined and keep at it, you will succeed. .

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Agoraphobia manifested itself in me, and every time I left the apartment, I began to have thoughts like: you can do it, you can't do it, you can do it, you can't do it, you'll be fine, you won't be, you're going to be sick, and so on all the time. This condition is crazy, I thought I was crazy. Your videos have shown me that this doesn't have to be the case. I dare to invite my anxiety, I dare to invite her in full force and she did not come ... thank you thank you thank you

Hi Nicol. Yes…this paradoxical approach of allowing and welcoming anxiety….and being unconcerned if it decides to show up is what eventually calms the brain. Great job!

But that is hard, or specifically it's easier said than done.. I have social anxiety you can say severe social anxiety, the most thing that i brutally fear about it is its manifestation in shaking my head my hands, my legs feel like jelly that I'm going to fall.. it is really hard to live like that. When i try to invite it like you say, and tell myself come on anxiety you won't hurt me... once i get shaky my hands my head and there is people around, i just can't do it anymore, i would keep saying they saw me shaking saw my weakness, what they are thinking It is really terrible i just can't do it anymore

@@mostafasoliman6745yes, it is so hard. I’m at Walmart thinking to myself “I’m safe, no one is going to hurt me, no one is looking at me, no one is judging me,” and I’m like, “why do I have to keep telling myself these things?” I feel so stupid. I watch other people have no fear and I’m so envious of them. My anxiety manifests in my armpits. I can completely soak a shirt with sweat, just from talking to someone, even on the phone. It’s so embarrassing. No matter how much I fake it, my armpits don’t lie. They tell the world I am nervous. I remember in high school a guy saw my sweat and pointed it out. “I thought only guys sweat like that!” When I shop for clothes, I have to only buy shirts with designs that will cover up my sweat. So no solids. I hate being like this. The more people, the worse my anxiety. It’s like I feel all their eyes on me.

Such a great explanation. So many therapists should be watching your videos, I've spoke to many who have no idea about treating anxiety. I've learned more from your videos than hours of counseling from different providers. In my experience, people who have never experienced anxiety should not offer help to people with anxiety disorders because they don't understand fully. Thank-you so much for your honesty in going through anxiety yourself and all your expertise Paige!

Thank you. I appreciate that. I have learned a lot over the years working with anxiety disorders and made plenty of mistakes along the way. Plus, research of what goes on in the brain and body is always evolving and adding to our understanding. What is so rewarding is when it clicks with someone overwhelmed by anxiety and they get their life back again. I always appreciate your comments.

This started for me because my parents shamed me for anxiety, like fear of dark. I allowed my kids to feel anxious and accepted it. They did not fixate on it. They are not obsessed with anxiety. So I need to learn it for myself. I have cycles of learning it and forgetting how.

This video makes so much sense. I’m going to try the I.A.M. approach. I’ll have plenty of opportunity since there’s not many things that DOESN’T cause me anxiety. I get anxiety paying the bills, going out in public, driving, having a messy house, having unfinished projects (especially when they are my husband’s and I can’t finish them for him), having responsibilities loaded onto me, etc.

My fear of anxiety comes from the fact that everywhere you read it says tha stress and anxiety are destroying one’s health, blood pressure is harmful, too much cortisol is bad but all these happen with anxiety. That is how my anxiety loop has closed. But now I feel anxiety and panic daily because I keep thinking how I am doing damage to my health. I don’t know how to get out of this.

Every human on the planet experiences anxiety because it is how we cope with life. We are designed and have evolved to tolerate anxiety. Concentrate on allowing anxiety to be there as best that you can. Practice stress management daily like walking and yoga and other forms of exercise and meditation, just not in response to a high anxiety episode. If you need help with high anxiety and panic, I have resources that may help you. Here is an assessment for panic. www.paigepradko.com/panic-quiz

All im saying is :theres nothing wrong with you, its just an over response fearful of your body.And i know that its completely crazy tô think, but YOU MUST EXPERIENCE THE FEAR IN ITS FULLEST! thats the only way out! take your time and youll be Better! Dont lose hope! you are important ! you just need tô calibrate your fear alarm 🤣

I am glad that you finally found appropriate help. You are absolutely correct. You were experiencing health anxiety and it is more like OCD than anxiety and is treated with ERP, exposure and response prevention.

@PaigePradkoTherapy

Hi Dennis. Yes, it is difficult to cope. Unfortunately, when you are feeling anxious, the brain interprets that as if you were in danger (as if a tiger was close). And, we have a wired in mechanism to keep you awake to increase your chance of survival. This can be frustrating when all you want to do is sleep. Try your best to give your brain messages that you are safe and that you are unconcerned about your anxiety…it is welcome to come and go as it wishes. Eventually, your brain will calm with this acceptance approach and your body’s response may lag behind but will eventually calm.

In the video you mentioned this," we don't want to do (relaxing skills as square breathing) in a forced way, to constantly see if they are working, that causes anxiety". Please explain then how you practice relaxation techniques without causing anxiety, such as the example I gave. Thought to mention this. I heard this quote," you can be physically healthy but not emotionally healthy". You need to be physically healthy and emotionally healthy, to have a healthy life "! Thank you so very much!
@PaigePradkoTherapy
@PaigePradkoTherapy 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Rachel. That’s a great question. I am not sure if you saw my response. Relaxation techniques like breath focused meditation and square breathing are wonderful to practice as part of a regular routine, just like brushing your teeth or exercising. You just do not want to practice relaxation techniques in response to anxiety, as this gives your brain the message that you do not want anxiety and anxiety is “bad”. If your brain begins to associate anxiety as something bad that you don’t want, then your body can actually get even more anxious when it detects anxiety sensations in your body. This is why we want to give our brain messages of accepting and welcoming anxiety.

I have sleep anxiety, too. It was the worst after having a bad reaction to CBD oil. It caused me to be in between the sleep and wake stage. It took me weeks to be able to finally sleep in my room and not wake up with a panic attack every time I dozed off. I had to completely redo my bedroom. Got rid of all the furniture and bought new, repainted, new bedding. Otherwise my brain associated my old bedroom with panic.

Hi Paige. I am familiar with Clare’s work although I feel it lacked compassion in some areas. I have tried to encompass acceptance in my experience of anxiety. This is really hard as the brain is hardwired to react to stressful events. My anxiety has become existential and I have the similar thoughts I had as a child. For instance why was I born? Why am I here? I believe these arose out of feelings of distress, feeling unloved, feeling unwanted and so on. How do I deal with this kind of anxiety which is so overwhelming particularly in these difficult times of lockdown. Thank you as always for your videos and kind advice ❤️

Hi Angela. I love your comments about accepting and allowing anxiety. In those times when you have existential intrusive thoughts, my suggestion is to also focus on allowing the thoughts to be there, without trying to answer the questions or analyze the thoughts. There are no answers to those questions. Life is a mystery. Allow the thoughts, accept the unknowing of the answers, and tolerate the anxiety. Thank you for your comments.

Hi Richard. Do you think you are experiencing real event OCD where you are compulsively reviewing and ruminating about past events? Or are you struggling with false memory OCD, where you are not sure if something happened or not? It sounds like it might be more similar to real event ocd. I recommend using the I. A.M. method for these types of thoughts. First, (I) Identify that you are ruminating and got sucked into the old OCD bubble. Interrupt your ruminating and identify the ruminating as “OCD” or “ruminating” or “that old story again”. Then, (A) Allow the thoughts to float there in the background like a bad song on the radio. And (M), shift your attention to doing something in the moment. You know the thoughts are floating there, but shift your attention as often as you need to …to something you can do in the moment. And the move on. Repeat this technique every time you catch yourself in the ocd rumination bubble.
