i got diagnosed with bpd 5 years ago and it’s very debilitating. i cant afford a dbt counsellor and im trying to do all of this on my own.. and your video made me tear up, as im feeling extreme right now about an outside source. i just wanted to say thank you for this video, i’m about to go watch all of your others!

This was EXTREMELY helpful. I always thought that emotions were bad and that I needed to control them. I seriously have been trying to control my emotions instead of realizing they are just apart of me and will always come back.

Man you have no idea how much these are helping me... every video i click im just like wow... these free videos are literally making i guess random strangers lives better. In a way, i think you are making the world a better place. Thanks again.

This channel is a goldmine.

Your videos are helping me so much . I was so relieved to learn from this video that I can feel sad, which I do pretty often and is uncomfortable, and what I can do is simply to accept it and not judge that I should not be feeling this way. I have been vexed with negative emotions for more than a month and was desperate . Tears came up watching this video as I learned that those emotions are OK.

I did DBT for a whole year. So watching your videos is a good refresher to remember what I’ve learned. Thank you. I hope this helps many others.

Simple, to-the-point descriptions! Thank you!

Honestly, these videos feel genuinely life saving to me. I'm currently being assessed for different mood disorders (I think I have a form of bpd or bipolar) but I can't even describe the hope these videos have given me. I have struggled my entire life with regulating my emotions and dealing with my body's response to stress. I can swing from so happy/fine to horrifically intensely sad with this intense need to hurt myself for a few hours then back to perfectly fine. It's so hard to deal with and I never knew there were actual treatments available until this month. My therapist recently switched from CBT (because I was seeing him for OCD/health anxiety at first) to ACT/DBT for my moods. I am responding so well to both of these treatments and I can't wait to do more DBT. He's referring me to someone with actual DBT experience with individual and group settings but I didn't want to wait to learn the tools. I used your videos when I wanted to self harm tonight and they immediately made me feel better, particularly the one about doing the opposite of what you feel. This is super oversharing but I'm just so incredibly grateful and low key in desperate need to find a community of people that understands. So thank you!!

Such a nice video!! So important!! Thanks so much for sharing!

This video is so helpful. I love the part where you mention about acceptance. This reminded me of a quote from a book I was reading recently. ''The more we accept our humanness and our feelings for what they actually are, rather than what we wish they were, the more we digest them and grow as a human being.'' - Andrew Kenneth Fretwell (from the book Emotional Alchemy - The Love & Freedom Hidden Within Painful Feelings)

Thank you ❣️

So happy I found this channel!

You are a genius@ Thank you for putting up this channel

Thankyou so much ❤️

Omg !!!!! Brilliant! This is what we must teach children and adults! Practical value for those who don’t understand why they feel well.

I've done DBT for years but I'm struggling again with bpd so I'm here for a brush up

Thank you so much, this is what I have always been looking for. 13.07.2022, 14:23

Thank you sir

Thank you

This is extremely helpful. Very nicely put.

my depression, anxiety and panic attacks have gotten so bad i can barely leave my house. i lost my ability to speak in march 2023 and it has gotten alot worse since

Thank you so much for creating this channel. I love love your content

Thank you xx

Thank your for your videos

I'm using this dbt Monday for my group therapy, very excited and this video is perfectly explained how emotional regulation work❤❤❤. thank you

Your videos are so helpful, educational and show your hard work to make it as it is. I'm grateful for you

These are amazing. I really hope you continue to bring more of these videos to your audience… they simplify what can very often become a difficult understanding of DBT. I need to practice the simple missions first before I get deeper. Thank you

Extremely well explained, thank you very much, it really helps me through my recovery with anxiety and bpd. I live in France and there is not such quality ressources. Very clear and non-judgmental! Keep up the good work, that is useful for a lot of us :)

Thank you for these videos they have been helping me alot

well done, I will continue to pass your video on to my patients

Thank you very much for this video, I did behavioral activation and cognitive therapy but they were not as effective as this, I had addiction issues before, because I always want to feel good, I constantly micromanage my feelings, want to feel good, always want to change bad feelings and when I can't I just sit idle and live depressed, watch TV, isolate, I am in this state last 8 years

Just started DBT skills training because I have traits of BPD .. everything’s so new to me but this was great help thank you

This is extremely helpful. Naming and acknowledging were known but the missing link really was the validation part - that gives a relief, to really say to myself that it is ok to feel, think this way. Many thanks!

Loved the way this is explained

These are great videos. The animations make it much more comfortable for me to focus on the lessons you're giving. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. This overview helped me a lot to understand what I'm actually trying to do with emotion regulation and gave it all some structure. Thanks :)

Your videos are perfect for me. I love the way you put them together! You have helped me SO much! I'm going to join. Bless you for your good work sir!

Really clear and well explained. I will be using these in my work!

Thank vou ❤

Thank you for this. It explains it so well and the visuals are great! I will be checking out your other videos.

I LOVE the way u explain this and that, it's so easy to accept and also easy to understand. Going to watch the entire videos of your channel. Thank you!! Look forward to implementing this technique!

Very helpful thanks

Very helpful and clear - thank you.

This is great video that I can use as a form of education for my clients. Thank you so much for doing this!

Helpful video. Thanks

Your channel is amazing! I was looking for more videos about psychology and DBT and this video is simple, engaging and full of information, I really liked it. Thank you so much for making videos that help so many people. It would be such an amazing experience to be able to do Spanish subtitles for this video or any of your videos! If that's something you'd be interested in, please let me know! I love to learn about psychology and mental health. Love from Argentina 🤗

It's so beautiful what you done here. Your content is a life changer. Thank you very much

These videos are great!

💖💖 thanks for this video dude

Thanks!

THIS IS SO HELPFUL AND A MUST TO SEE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS. IT HELPS ALOT with how I deal with anxieties etc.. I wish I had seen this video before but I'm glad I have it now to apply. I think everyone should see this video. I will subscribe.

I am one of your fans, I am glad I have found your channel, everything is clearly exposed thanks a lot and please please keep up the good work.

Great video very helpful

I struggle with bpd and bipolar disorder and it really starts to trigger me when I become interested in someone and they are interested in me. I want to be able to work through these anxious thoughts and feelings. Right now I am starting to become very anxious and sad so I decided to watch one of these videos and just saying how I feel instead of analyzing why I feel them and what I can do to make them stop feels like the grip they have on me aren’t as strong. I want to continue watching your channel and working on this part of me. Thank you for the help you give to me and others!

❤ excellent

I m MBBS student currently and ur video were best and helped me to come out of depression and see everything optimistically and now i m able focus back on my studies also and be positive in my life and for that thanks a lot too.....

You helped me, I just lost a friend and I am feeling a little better💘

I like your drawings. And I like emotion regulation education. Thank you.

I was listening to subliminals & journaling :3

Its great your vids are to the point

Emotions are like the sea like tides going in and out meditation on sea is helpful visualization. Elemental of water represents emotions.

this is something that I can really use to work on. I struggle to identify how I feel which keeps me from accepting my emotions. the kettle heats up and I blow my lid!

I just say in my head everytime I get emotional I just say that's my limbic system.Works pretty well for me. Through this practice I have found that everyone is being influenced ALL the time. When you watch media ask yourself why am I being made to feel this way.

I like it well

At the moment I'm on a dbt course , which I find very hard to understand. This video is helping me understand dbt very easy . Also I find it hard to remember things with the medication I'm on, so have listened to this video five times . Thanks for the video. Iam 58 years old and have suffered for 30 plus years . I have been. In mental health hospital 3 times in the last year. I am very proactive about my mental health. Sorry for bothering you about this, but just righting this is I believe good for me. I will try some of your other videos. I was diagnosed with personality disorder. Thanks again.

Hi! These are great! Are you going to do a video about Pros and Cons?

I never thought Trudeau would have insights like this

Okay, I'm literally cry laughing right now because I was watching this video and went to go put my cat outside of the room and while I did the video cut to a midroll and it was the ad for the game sinister squidward and it went from a calm caring DBT video to an AI Squidward voice saying "Nothing ever changes, I'm thinking about killing myself," with electric guitar in the background.

What about the next crucial step? Understanding what these emotions are telling us about ourselves that we don't want to accept? Self awareness or self introspection

I just accepted my emotions and analyze why I feel it and why my parents wanted to repress my feelings and then I understand that my grand parents didn't have any time to listen to my parents

Wow this is like a group chat

Thanks for this great video! I did the dbt and cbt so i know the exercises only they don't really work for me to change these obsessive problems so i don't have that obsessive need to ask my boyfriend all sorts of questions every day.. without that confirmation i get into an emotional tornado that throws me into stalking behavior, begging and crying to answer. If that doesn't happen I get filled with self hatred, disgust and I'm flooded with huge nerves that don't go away. Rational thinking has completely disappeared and I do everything destructive to escape from it. And once he reassures me, everything will be fine again. What are really the best and most appropriate exercises to change this?

Sometimes throwing certain clothing or other items away helps clear some emotional baggage.

I think emotion is trying to tell you that maybe irrational is a good choice than rational choice. Providing a real situation or future assumption situation.

What if you acknowledge your emotions you can name them and you neither want to control, avoid or deny them, but when you experience them you cannot avoid blaming other people or your circumstances for them? And what if the negative emotions of other people make you feel angry?

Thank you so much for these videos, they're helping me a lot. One question I have is about "chronic emotions" such as grief, or anticipatory grief. Do you have any videos in helping regulate in those situations, when the trigger for the feelings often comes either out of nowhere, or on a daily basis (for example because of caring for a sick loved one) and how to cope? Doing these skills is helping me a lot, but I find the emotions are more consistent and intense and will frequently get triggered again after im attempting to regulate them. Perhaps this has to do with how you describe "putting away the cauldron and putting out the fire" metaphor. But sometimes the "cauldron" is ongoing and there isn't so much of a solution as an ongoing situation that changes that I must adapt to. So I feel I can't quite get my footing. Thank you!

What about saying "I don't want to feel this way"? I am validating it exists.

How do you heal back pain caused by emotion/stress?

If I let my emotions to let be and feel them as they are then my actions will be effected by it because it has a straight connection to each other, For example if I felt anxious about a job interview letting that feeling flowing and accept it will make me stubborn in words and not thinking straight, so correct me if am wrong

Hello👋🏻 My English is bad and I don't understand most of the videos. I would like to ask a question. Do you believe in the effectiveness of psychotherapy for people with bpd? Can emotional stability be achieved through psychotherapy? Whether permanent or at least long-term stability is achieved through psychotherapy? Can CBT help or DBT? Thank you❤

I have certainly influenced how I feel with thoughts. Isn’t CBT based in this?

CBT is kinda rationalising away your emotions by changing associated thoughts and beliefs. So it can work if you are aware of the connections. Fear can be instinctual, but a lasting fear is more likely to emanate from the information you've been feeding your mind. It could be something real but your thoughts and beliefs about the thing can be reframed in order to view the situation in a less frightening way. 🙏

i am trying to learn how to manage my emotions, and not have strife within my home or others.

You guys have control over your emotions????

content is good, but volume is too low.

I still have no clue what “acceptance” means. Has anyone else ever wrestled with this? It usually goes like this. Bad thing A happens. I know it happened, and I hate that it happened. Looking up the definition of acceptance suggests I have done that, but I get told I haven’t accepted the event yet. I’ve come to conclusion that it’s a meta defined word we use to mean bad event happened and now you don’t care.

Acceptance is literally like a foreign language right now.....how do you know when you have accepted...

Helpful stuff ,but in view of what you teach in your Cognitive Restructuring video - would seem to be some inconsistency here.

6 minutes in and damn this was depressing af.

" we can't tell our emotions how to feel " - isn't that in direct contradiction of CBT?

Hence, why Jesus prayed in the early AM.

We’re in 6 minutes of a little under 10 minute video and it’s still explaining the same thing over and over and over and over again! When will we get to the actual techniques?? All these videos about CBT and emotional regulation don’t actually include anything to help assist in emotional regulation. It’s beyond frustrating. It’s like a contest of how many times you can say the same thing, just using different words and that’s it. It’s repetitive and boring.

I hate this advert! I feel so condescended to!!!!! I do not want to listen to a young man lecture me!!! what do you know!

Your videos are great, thank you! (Australia 🦘)

Thank you

Thanks!
