What MedCircle is doing with humanizing doctors is so refreshing. The barrier between professionals and patients I believe has really contributed to the stigma that most people have when it comes to therapy. I appreciate all the work you people do and often refer to it in my own podcast.

We love you Dr Ramani.

Its nice to hear their stories even tho they are of difficult times. Dr Ramani in particular really moved me. I have CPTSD and how she described the echo and also how intellectually it all makes sense but in our bodies it is still hurting. Finding meaning in that suffering to connect with others. Well now I am in tears but grateful to hear her story and to see she is still able to be an excellent therapist. Thanks to everyone for sharing your rawness with us. We are all with you x

I think we are past the point where we all have to appear to be 'together' all the time. Thank you, Dr. Ramani.

"We have to harness and harvest the experiences we are given and find the meaning in them". So profound. So true. Love Dr. Romani.

I remember that seminar Dr. Ramani. I'm so sorry you are still having to deal with a lot of difficult things. I send you a big hug and many blessings.

If I could let Dr. Ramini know how much she has helped me. Because of her, I was able to leave a narcissistic partner. She dropped some knowledge on me that sent me into the grieving process because I finally realize why all this trying with him wasn't helping and that it was never going to help. He is a malignant narcissist and now things make so much sense and I have her to thank. Thank You!!! Dr. Ramin

Dr. Ramani is so amazing! Her dedication to making mental health resources accessible deserves a Nobel prize. I've learned so much from her and she seems like a wonderful person ❤

I went straight to Dr. Ramani. No offence to the others.just that I watch Dr. Ramani more

Came here for Dr. Ramani ... the angel in disguise. She’s a beautiful human being! So sorry for her pain, but I just hope she knows how many people are for her. Dr. Ramani, your support system is huge! We ❤️ you!

*DR. RAMANI* !! That's all that needs saying...oh and WHAT an absolutely elevated human she continually shows up to 'be'.

Thank you for this! I’m a therapist and I have chronic mental health conditions. We don’t need stigma. Therapists are people too.

I love Dr. Ramani so much!! She has helped me through her videos in so many ways. I feel for her. Therapists are people just like the rest of us : )

I loooooove Dr Ramani. What a warrior. We are so very blessed by all that she has taught us 💚💚 I will forever be grateful 😇

I've always wanted to hear more about therapists and practioners' perspectives - since they are people too. Thank you for making this video. It's important to remind ourselves that therapists are people too, with real feelings and personal traumas. I can think of few roles that must be more challenging and impactful.

Awww Ramani 🥺 💜💜 hope you can find the peace you given us

I love you Dr. Ramani...I honor you as a human being who is here to heal others and yourself in the process...as a fellow clinical psychologst, i appreciate you for being vulnerable in this moment ...many of us are traumatized, but then being a sensitive human is traumatic... but the wound is truly where the light enters in... sending all love and light!

I had twelve births. Yes very complex and so many concerns, postpartum depression, shock... I was in abusive narcissistic spousal relationships, isolated...no support system. I had religion, but that was cult like. We endure. I now hope to bring our broken family back together. We all went through so much. U tube videos have helped so much. I'm grateful for this resource.

What a beautiful idea to have therapists share. Humanizing therapists and mental health struggles is so important. We all have our difficulties. Connection helps us through. Thanks💜!

Dr Ramani, I totally understand where you are on this and I'm in this too. PTSD. Then the exhausted and brain fog and anxiety and way off the game. I care about you and everyone here. Thanks to all of you sharing your experiences. We are with you and we care. You all are so valuable as beautiful people with big hearts. ❤

Love Dr. Ramani how she always explains and describes Mental Ilnesses. Watching this video and listening to Dr. Ramani has answered one of my questions that my treating Phychiatrist, Phychologist could never answer or clarify it. You did Dr.Ramani. Thank you. You are an inspiration and every day is a new day and a new beginning from where we left off and where we continue forward🙂

Dr Ramani - You are a remarkable human being. Bless you.

We love you so much Dr Ramani, thank you for everything you do! Remember you are as strong as anyone can be ❤

I could identify with Dr. Judy's reaction to the loss of her grandmother. I, too, experienced more anxiety and fears about death, etc., after my parents each passed away, than sadness.

I've wanted to be a counselor since I was in grade school. then came major PTSD, depression, and anxiety. I gave up on my dream because 'how can someone so "mentally damaged" help others to that degree'? This video gave me hope. Maybe I'll go back and finish school and see where it goes🤷🏻‍♀️

I loved this video so much. Broke my heart to see Dr Ramani break down but also made me feel so much more connected to her. She gets it. We love you, Dr Ramani ❤️

What a great video this was! So important for us to remember that everyone goes through things, no matter what their educational background or social status. I am most of all touched by Dr. Ramani's vulnerable share. I'm glad she's taking care of herself as much as possible. I hope she'll feel better soon. We love you, Dr. Ramani!!!

Dr Ramani, I admire the good that you chose to make of it all. This good has impacted many lives, mine included. Thank you for what you have been doing for all of us. God bless you. We love you ♥️

I ❤ Dr. Ramani. She is so REAL.

I felt the physical sensations of shock when I heard that my grandfather had died, even though I knew it was coming as he had terminal cancer. He was the first person who was really close to in my family who had passed. Then I was sad but relieved that he didn’t have to suffer anymore. I was about 20 at the time and having been brought up as a Christian, I had hope that he’d gone to a better place. At worst his suffering had ceased, because he was just too good a person to have gone to a bad place. I was at university some distance away but in a place where I’d had the experience of going to comfort him after he and my grandmother were in a serious car accident. They both lived and recovered, but my grandmother was severely injured while my grandfather had suffered some very painful cracked ribs. I was only about 14-15 years old but I felt so sorry for him because he was driving and either blacked out or fell asleep at the wheel. They were already in their 70s but recovered remarkably well. I could empathise with how bad he must have felt as his wife on the passenger side was severely injured, both arms broken and her hip joint smashed into her pelvis, so if she hadn’t been the amazingly resilient person she was, she might have died. It was the only time in my life I’d ever seen her struggle as she was so optimistic and mentally strong. She said quietly that she wished she was dead when I went to visit her. I knew she was suffering horribly because she was so full of life and loved people, never down. As soon as she started to mend she was entertaining everyone in the ward! I miss them so much. She recovered completely and was riding a bike at 80. She died at the age of 98 quite peacefully and I knew she was ready to go. Still miss them, but glad to have known them.

It's very validating to see that even mental health expert can struggle with this kind of things. Dr. Ramani speach was particularly touching. Thank you for sharing something so personal, it makes us feel even more heard and understood!

Dear Ramani. So loving and caring. I wish her all the best.

A big hug fill with gratitude and admiration for you Dr Ramani and all the rest of dr's , may our God Lord energize your body, soul and spirit so you can continue the amazing job you do.🤗❤💐. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Dr Ramani we send you a lot of courage and a lot of love ❤️ thank you so much for the amazing work 🤗 you’re a wonderful person 🙏🏻😘

Oh man, dr Ramani has helped me so much through her videos on her channel, I can’t bare to see her upset, I hope she is coping okay and taking care of herself ❤️🙏

I’m praying for you all. I’m especially praying for you Dr. Ramani. You have blessed so many people. I just launched my book about my life and your work has made it more possible to articulate my abuse growing up. I hope to get it to you soon. It’s called Resilient Joy by Patrice D’Evans. God bless you. 🌸🌸🌸✝️🙏🏽😊

Dr. Ramani is a precious, beautiful being. I'm so grateful for all of her work. I wish her all the best in overcoming her post-traumatic stress responses.

Wow, I respect Doctor Ramani for being so honest and raw, she is an amazing therapist not only is she very intelligent but she let's herself become vulnerable, she's very human, she has love and compassion she has the whole package for being the best therapist ever! Oh how I wish she could be my therapist!🤗

So helpful, thank you all so much. Big hugs to Doctor Ramani, just wish I could wave a wand and make it all better, life isn’t fair and the hardest thing with most negative mental health experiences is that we feel ok, or that we are coping and then something comes along and it’s like being run over or drowned and it happens so quickly and all our emotional systems fail, then come back up but stay in crisis for so long while we work through and adapt to what happened. It did make me cry watching Doctor Ramani because she cried, so it’s ok. What I’ve been through is ok. I value greatly what every therapist here as spoken of and resonate with almost all of it, especially anxiety and Imposter Syndrome, which I personally associate partially with enduring narcissist behaviour in people. These two videos are as precious as gold. Money can’t buy empathy, understanding and compassion. The world so desperately needs to re think it’s viewpoint of what really matters to humanity.

“An echo that never quite stops” You are an inspiration Dr Ramani! As a psychiatric RN I have struggled to articulate the reasoning for my understanding those “I treat”.

As a therapist, I think self-disclosure really helps when appropriate in a therapeutic relationship. Trust often builds through these human connections- normalizing that people struggle is a good thing.

I have so much respect for all this smart, amazing professionals for being so human and share their experiences and emotions.

So much love and respect for Dr Ramani ♥️

Thanks a lot Kyle... I'm a person who are suffering from complex Trauma and abuse since the inception of my memory. And still it happens...

Dr. Ramani, You are wonderfull, authentic, beautifull person. Love from Poland 💓

Very useful video. Offering a suggestion to feel better. In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath and mind [brain] are closely related causing stress-anxiety. For a better life sit on a chair, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. Change happens from within by itself. Day or night, when taking a walk, sitting in a park, when reading, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce watching social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

Oh, How I wish to hear Dr. Ramani's experience with the narcissist in her family........

It was painful to see you in tears, Dr Ramani. This has been a rough year for me as well. Life can be hard sometimes. The strongest of us can feel overwhelmed. I feel better when I recognise my sorrow, when I allow myself to weep, when I let myself just breathe. Some experiences can be intense; they can play in our minds for a very long time. It can take a while for us to feel stable. It’s as if something has gotten dislodged from within, destroying our inner equilibrium. Time and love are great healers. I hope you get through this phase. I hope you find inner peace. I’m sending good wishes in your direction. Take care, Dr Ramani. Keep smiling. 🌷🌺🌸🌼

Don’t forget to pray it’s help a lot of pain all kind I been there myself Please keep Prayers for me Thanks🙏

Aw Dr Ramani, big hug. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing everyone

To all who shared, THANK YOU🌷

Forever grateful for Dr. Ramani.. ❤

"An echo that never quite stops" so well said.

Thank you for this generosity in sharing. ❤️

GOD BLESS YOU ALL GOOD PSYCHOLOGISTS 👏🏼🙌🏼 YOU ALL WOKEN US & SAVED US ALL WHO ARE SUFFERING & SURVIVORS NOW. I FEEL BAD FOR THOSE OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SO LONG WITH NARCS. LET'S ALL PRAY FOR EVERYONE HERE THAT THEY'LL GET THROUGH THE TRAUMA BOND/HEALING. 💔😪 I'M STILL GOING THROUGH AS WELL. 1MONTH AWAY FROM MY XNARC #WECANallSurvive ❤️🙏🏼

I love and respect Dr. Ramani even the more. Thank you 💜

I love that statement from Dr. Kristy: “if you are at zero (stress), you are either dead or the Buddha.” Point well made. I would add: you can also be in denial sometimes those of us who are positive thinking and problem solving, we can be at risk at not fully SEEING or otherwise realizing the stress we are facing.

Thank you... this shows how important connections are!

I appreciated hearing everyone’s story, especially Dr. Ramani. She really made herself vulnerable.

We love you Dr. Ramani. The world would not be the same without you.💜

Dr. Romani, my heart breaks for you. I can so relate to you about trauma and the effects on your body. It doesn't take much to trigger an effect.

SO incredibly proud of Dr. Ramini for her profound honesty and vulnerability (as well as the other docs). Thank you.

I can't watch Dr. Ramani cry. It breaks me up so much.

Watching this video calmed me down so much from my anxiety and self doubt today. I have symptoms of headaches, faster breathing, faster heartbeat, hyper vigilance, confusion and so much of it is from fear of loss, abandonment and life instability. I can't tell you enough how these videos are making such an impact on my life. You are all doing such a tremendous service to so many people. Practicing mindfulness, radical acceptance, accepting where I am and what I am feeling in the moment and hourly replacement thoughts are helping.

This video really resonates with me cause i've been through very traumatic experiences where i suffered tremendously. I suffer from severe post trauma today

Thank you all for your life experiences so much! I can relate to your experiences . I was abused as a child in more ways then one ! I’m 68 yrs old and still in therapy . So much of my life I been working on my mental issues. Now I have another issue with the processing of getting older ! And being alone, for the most part. I think of the losses a family and friends and how dear they were to me . Then to start learning a new world of narcissist behavior! Well I could go on and on . Anyways thank you all for sharing your journeys in life , and showing the human side your lives , God bless you all

I appreciate this video so much. Thank you so much for sharing something so deeply personal and all the work that you are doing.

God bless you, Dr. Ramani

I'm a massive supporter of your channel! Your work is a legend - thank you ever so much ❤️

Thank you all for sharing with us and I love Dr. Ramani so much 💖💖💖💖

Yes indeed! Very interesting, appreciate her sharing these personal experiences. Especially, a health professionals. Experienced such losses within my family.

Dr. Ramani.....You have literally saved my life! I know im far from the only one who feels this way. But wanted to make sure I shared that individually, just so you know! The pain you have experienced and healing have allowed so many others THANK YOU ❤️ !!!

Dr ramani ; I love listen to ur advices they help me see the light in my life and be positive most of the time.thank u

Dr. Ramani!! I realized I can't like all the awesome messages for you. You deserve them all. ❤ We are all a work in progress.

Thank you for identifying with the human journey, and becoming therapists. The worst we have endured is made so much easier by knowing we are not alone in our need to process our lives, our experiences, in healthier ways.

Thank you for all that stuff you do to help people better understand mental health🙌🏾

I needed to hear all this . Thank you 🙏. I already feel better . My anxious level had hit the roof top 2 yrs back ..still working on it :)

Dr Taslim, thank you for sharing your story. I don’t think many people realize how devastating it can be as a new mom when you can’t provide everything for your baby that you believe you should, even if others don’t understand, minimize and want to provide a quick fix.

Very touching!

The echo that never quite stops. Such a potent, useful, and strangely enough, liberating insight. Great video, thanks.

Thank you so much for this, it made such a huge impact in my day at a point where I needed to hear this. God bless you all and continue to do the remarkable work you do.

Thanks for all authentic sharing common experience of being human

Thanks Medcircle. Thanks all for the difficult sharing. Dr Ramani, I share your tears ❤️

Lots a love to you Dr.Ramani.

So very sorry for your pains and struggles, I am so grateful for your openness , thank you for your work xo love medcircle, helps me so much. Love and hugs to all

Thank you to Dr Judy. When she spoke of how she had always felt safe in the world as long as her grandmother was alive no matter the distance between them. This reaches me on a deep level, since my dad died 4yrs ago I still struggle with this. I no longer feel safe in the world, nobody has really grasped how this is difficult for me to experience and live with. So it's been very helpful to know that someone does know what it's like and validates that feeling. God bless to all the Drs for their help and through dealing with their experiences x

Amazing content - thanks you everyone.😊

Thank you for sharing your powerful stories. Recently walking in your footsteps I find it very hard to do this. If sheer determination to just wake up each morning or find a reason big or small to smile each day for me that makes up for rivers of tears I have cried since being dumped unapologetically by a person who puts his addictions ahead of everything and everyone else. Dr Ramani I am so grateful for your educational posts on narcisissm and borderline personality disorders. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Much love peace and harmony and a big huge hug from me. 😘😘😘😘😘💜💛💜💛💜

I have general anxiety disorder and i love Kristy. She is soo right i think it helps tremendously when your therapist share with you a litlle bit of their story...you feel normal and less judgemental toward yourself.

I'm a trained therapist I am currently quite ill mentally physically . It really resonates with me the fact that other therapists experience full emotional lives, I think I may have bought into the common misconception without realising that we are just useful robots to have around. Thank you so much to the therapists here and also to you Kyle ( you know you are not just a commentator, do you think you are ready to formalise your training? Working with such professionally enlightened individuals could easily put you off. Don't let it. If you did some training you would find you already have it. Bless you my son. Go forth and move the world.x

Dr. Ramani, I Love You as a Wonderful Person and Undoubtedly with Utmost Confidence I Can say that, You're a Wonderful Person and a GEM to the World and Most Importantly to your ownself....

What a touching video! Thank you everyone for sharing your mental health journey. Definitely worth listening to.

Support you Dr Ramini !

Dr Ramani ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for naming the startle response as part of ptsd

Big hugs, Dr. Ramani 💜💖💗

Love this. Thank you. 🙏🏽💝

I love that, my diagnosis is that I'm human. This video has been some of the light that needed to shine through right now. Thank you for sharing.
