My counsellor gave me a really good tip once when I was feeling overwhelmed with schoolwork. I actually described how I felt in terms of the 3F response and that because I felt so overwhelmed with my coursework, I just froze - couldn't get anything done but just stew in my own anxiety. From our session I realized I viewed my academics as one big 'monster' that felt impossible to take down, but once I started looking at it as an army of smaller monsters instead it started to feel more manageable. Like, Instead of looking at one deadline as a whole (e.g. 2000 word essay), I treat it as a bunch of smaller components (brainstorming phase > draft phase > polishing phase etc). Tbh I still freeze up at times, but thinking this way helps me shake myself out of it. Just wanted to share cus your video reminded me of this ^.^ love to see your channel growing and getting sponsored!

Everyone always says "you have impeccable timing" but you really do. I walked home after feeling this way. Went to KZfaq and BAM

You are one of my favorite comfort KZfaqrs. You seem like such a safe person.. I hope you had a good day today :)

could you make a video on this topic of anxiety vs self esteem when it comes to dating? any time I go on a date and I don't like or particularly connect with, I have no trouble carrying conversation, being myself, and leading with intention, but the second I start to like someone, I get anxious, I freeze up, bend my rules, and I'm bad at conversation because suddenly I'm worried about being liked and the outcome of the date.

That racoon probably just wanted a hug.

Going through these videos and seeing your different fashion styles is really funny

Can you talk about this and how it is often related to sexual coercion

Oh my goodness that raccoon was so cute! Poor little guy 😬

Fawn is also a response 4Fs:) (flight,fight,freeze or fawn). Power Differentiation dynamics are so hard to battle, especially when things go horribly wrong ie:- pastors, bosses or parents or leaders etc

I default to freeze most of the time, and I’ve known for a long time I have anxiety and low self-esteem. I just hadn’t made the connection between them.

I have a problem with freezing,. Recognising the worst case scenerio and accepting it realy helpes me with moving forword to the actual problem solving part. P.S. As a dental hygienist I realy apreciate you spoke up about the importance of oral hygene among people with mental health issues. It’s realy important. Good collaboration.

7:00 planning multiple scenarios in the head - my favorite thing to do

Hey Ana, love your videos! I’m a dental student and I love that you relayed the connection between oral and systemic health. Only thing is that dentin is a part of the anatomical tooth structure under enamel (not pathological). The accumulation of bacteria from food debris is called plaque. Great video :)

I struggle with GAD and low self-esteem, getting better but it’s still an uphill battle!!

you have really good timing. i was literally talking to my friends about why it’s so hard for me to stick up for myself.

Thanks for another video Ana, this week has been hard to me, my relationship ended and im struggling with anxiety. This video has helped me :)

Aw so cute! Also, great topic Ana! Kind of reminds me of the Fable of Aesop "The Bear and The Two Travelers"

I don't just freeze up. I've almost passed out a few times.

This has happened to me so many times. Specifically at hospital assembly. Superiors ask questions directly at you and I couldn’t find myself answering them even though I always studied before class. -.-“ Also, the anticipation of public shame made me feel nauseous everyday before every hospital assembly and whenever I did or said something wrong I would lock myself in the bathrooms to mentally beat myself up and cry from anger 😅

Maybe the racoon was a people pleaser, and had a hard time saying no.

In my opinion, u have a very rational way of explaining usable psychology to layman .. thanks for that. I tend to detach myself from listening to self-care gurus cause their approach seems based on emotion or invasive in a way… I really needed access to someone who sounds clear and competent, for me to incorporate advices in to everyday life 😅

I really enjoy your content and it helps many of us! I'm grateful that ive found your Channel. Keep it up Ana👏👏👏☀️☀️ and you look gorgerous,Love the little darker fashion sense on you and your eyeliner. Sending love and light your way and to everyone reading this ☀️

I saw the add coming but the way you did it I wasn’t even mad. Nice add insertion might purchase.

Damn gf even the stuff about anxiety related dental issues, this hit hard, thank you for your guidance ❤️

I fawn and dissociate.

Hi! Isn’t there a 4th F? Fawn/flirt in response to threat?

What a thorough explanation of an interesting psychological phenomena (whoosh big words)

Hello Ana, I loved the video as well as all your movie character analyses. Please, do an analysis on "Scenes from a marriage" !

Helpful. I had no idea that mental disorder is actually affecting oral health, forward to switching to an electric brush ASAP

I would love if you talked about Retroactive Jealousy!

Your videos are so insightful and compassionately delivered. What is your doctoral thesis? Is that what it’s called?

Brilliant articulation 🙏❤️

duh why are our minds so complex... it sucks that we can't adapt fast and easily

Ah yes getting swung at while you walking home

Thankyou sooooooo much Ana (beautiful Girl) for this awesome video. 🤗🤗🤗🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Can you make a video about the fawn response?

I suggest you react to some episodes of "the nanny" i would love to see how you analyse it

Ana, have you heard of a fourth response called "fawning"? I watch another youtuber who is a therapist and has talked about it. I am wondering if it has rly been added to the F3 response (therefore making it 4.) or are there many different responses and those 3 are just the most common?

Poor raccoon :(

Can you make a video on how men can escape the patriarchy and reach their full potential?

What if it was tired

the raccoon 🥺🥺🥺🧸

❤️❤️❤️

Are you still going to do that video about the porn industry

Does she have instagram?
