My social anxiety reached to the point where i don't even want to go out for work. I feel like i would get judged. I feel breathing problem when i face people. I feel lonely still I can't talked to people. I don't know how I'm going to heal. I don't know how i became like this. If you are reading this please pray for me. I don't want to live life like this way.

It takes a lot of acceptance to even know that therapy is required.

Is this a real client? Body language everything looks very accurate if this is acting Very strong technique though, thanks for this video!

It works guys it works

individual family group marital therapies. hail the lord !

But bro there's some real nuance here, if she's at the point where she can put herself out there without being totally withdrawn she might actually not be worth being friends with, because social anxiety is at a core fear of expressing your true self due to risk of rejection, and what she puts out is a fake persona. And she may confuse that fake persona for herself. That's what I did the past 9 months, even knowing of that risk, and I genuinely believed and tried to be authentic.

I wish my doctor was as calm and understanding as you ❤

Could you post the prescribed therapy in that case, pls ? Thanks

She has friends? I wonder what that is like.

I don't have to worry about being stupid 😔 because I'm too stupid to be stupid

It is a fantastic technique for sure. But sometimes people, in spite of having evidence against their perceived shortcomings, cannot overcome the anxiety. As if they are lacking in efficacy to overcome such perceptions and behavior. I wonder how can we help them build such efficacy.

I really think that all these "diseases" are a make up of Big Pharma!Like this one for example....what is wrong with a boy,a human being to talk about his experiences???He was all around stressing time with his exama and everything and fast they ll call him bipolar.BS! Or kids with ADHD!!! Good God,they invented another one .Kids are kuds,they play,they jump! If they are kids,naughty like kids are supposed to ne,they are sick in their opinion now.Givd me s break.This medicine of Rockefeler should be abolished and start again from the beggining .This is not medicine is BS.

She looks a lot like Saoirse Ronan

The therapist way of talking is so irritating! Sounds like … sounds like … and just repeating what the client is saying… as she already didn’t know whats going on … sounds like a parent than someone equal and understanding Maybe its just me but i would like much more dynamic conversation as friend would Over cup of coffee

When I was sick I started to get dreams of all the Gods... when I was sick I thought it's because of I was special... when I started to get right medication I understood it's because of your constant thoughts... when you think of something 24*7 you will start to dream about that... now I know I made stupid mistakes when I was sick... said stupid things...I am a human not a goddess... now I pray for forgiveness from Creator for the mistakes...I still struggle with self love

Help me Jesus

Damn that depression I thought I was lazy

The therapist is creating the narrative for her, asking too many questions, the client should always have tremendous space for her to talk. A therapy session must be at least 70% the client talking. She can only give short response if shes asked question after question. Everything she says doesn't need to be repeated as a therapy technique, she also need a real person to listen to her empathically and intuitively. Otherwise it feels a bit like talking with an AI. Let her go deeper and deeper with her own thoughts, never ever to be interrupted. The therapist does an amazing job at validating her feelings

how can this one be depressed when she speaks so articulately

Only reached one minute and I’m already triggered and sad. I’m a psychology student but dang I can’t watch these educationally without being sad

Thank you Dr.Judith for uploading such a video, really useful

I've been like this since I was 14. I'm 61 today. Good luck with "getting help." For me it's just been a chronic, apparently incurable, disease. I've had to live a lonely life. People are just as terriying as ever. Their eyes are like daggers.

Sorry for my English. I will try to best format what I’m feeling. It’s relatable what I’ve seen in the video because I feel like depression is in me for many years now. Have I talked about it to my parents, friends or teachers? All three I could say and I ended up with them saying that it will be fine, deep talks about what I’m struggling or hell, idk what’s up with my life. Oh for my parents (in a good matter), I might’ve failed them in a academic matter since I went way downhill for my first year in college. For what I’m feeling throughout the day, it’s like two versions of me. Whenever no one is around, me (the real living me) is all act up in a “narcissist “ , or opposite I should say for heading through the pathway of my future. The other me is a version kind , sweet, and heartwarming who I see is willing to help anyone out. That version being myself. I have friends that contacted me if I’m doing well or how I’m feeling. Im mad at myself for not responding to them back cause I don’t know I would feel. In addition, I don’t know how to carry a conversation cause how awkward I am. Have I considered going to a therapist? Yes. But I just don’t know where to start and where anything could lead me. I want to help myself little by little but in other words , be back where I was. Stable and helping!🙃

I remember my uni showing this video. I don't think it prepared me for the things I would hear in my first job (my first client was a convicted child sex offender).

Young fellow did some fantastic acting here! We can learn so much from these sessions.

CBT helped me so much in overcoming my social anxiety., espescially exposure therapy. Great video, thank you.

I found this video several years ago. It wasn’t until I had a recent meditation poisoning that triggered a manic suicide attempt that I deeply understand this person’s story. I have found out the hard way that any kind of strong stimulate puts me in a suicidal place. I feel lucky I went into treatment quickly. It has been almost 6 months and I am still recovering. I am no longer taking my adhd medication. Does anyone else miss the energy you had on these meds or the feelings well manic. I had times of joy and creativity. I also felt confident. The swing into the depression and overwhelming shame mentioned in the video is so difficult. Sending love and understanding to all of you going through this. Thank you for these videos and your service in breaking down stigma.

I worry about that in social situations. Mainly when I am filling out paperwork in front of people whil applying for a job. I get neck and head tremors. It's awful. I can't afford therapy but I need it. I didn't used to be like this. It happened to me I think after I had been through a ton of abuse and bullying.

I just stepped out of the house and felt hopeless

Great acting ! (the script is from a real case)

Dr. Johnson you're doing great work!

This is a totally immersive experience vis-a-vis what it is like to come clean about depression. In the patient’s voice there is all the uncertainty of the disease. There are also allusions made to all the classic depression symptoms. Apathy, a lack of motivation, self-criticism, things spinning out of control, social withdrawal, etc., etc., been there and done that, and lots more.

mr robot

It honestly urks me that people discredit biplar 'DEPRESSION ' is fake or a attention grabbing persona.

- [00:18] 🩺 Lucy was referred by her GP due to feeling down recently and wanting to address it. - [01:02] 🤔 Lucy's feelings of being down have worsened since her last visit to her GP. - [02:09] 🏡 Lucy feels isolated and finds it hard to talk about her feelings with others. - [03:30] 📚 Lucy's low mood began around the time of her exams and was compounded by her parents' marital problems. - [05:15] 💔 Lucy feels guilty for not performing well academically and blames herself for her parents' issues. - [07:19] 🛌 Lucy's mood has deteriorated, leading to a lack of motivation, difficulty attending lectures, and preference for staying in bed. - [09:20] 😞 Lucy experiences negative thoughts, feeling unworthy and comparing herself unfavorably to others. - [11:02] 😔 Lucy feels embarrassed discussing her emotions but acknowledges feeling sad, angry, and frustrated. - [12:00] 😩 Physically, Lucy feels drained, lethargic, and experiences sleep problems. - [12:23] 🔄 Lucy dwells on negative thoughts, leading to a cycle of feeling worse and then becoming emotionally numb.

- [0:38] 😔 Difficulty making friends at work and feeling excluded is a significant worry. - [1:48] 🧠 Negative belief of not being worth being friends with stems from experiences at school. - [3:30] 🤝 Despite negative belief, close relationships with family and friends contradict it. - [4:47] 🤔 Thought challenging exercise highlights evidence against negative belief. - [6:04] 🎉 Willingness to organize events and prioritize friends' needs indicates being a good friend. - [8:33] 💭 Realization that choice plays a role in social interactions shifts perspective on worthiness.

I wish you were my therapist Dr. Johnson.

I wish people could focus more on positive thoughts than negative, as you described in the video.

i am watching a couple of vids, and just now realize that these patients are actors, they are so good!!

Perhaps getting a mental health diagnosis really is God's calling but what do i know

Great stuff!

Malak sounded like she was describing my childhood exactly, and I'm a forty year-old man.

Oof, too relatable.

Very late reply but thank you for these informative case study videos.

so its brain response to circumstances - the way of going through life which once upon a time when people didn't know how to make money from every shitty thing (tre-rapists) - this was called LIVING the LIFE

Im glad she has love and support from her family and Dr Penny. shes very sweet

i sincerely hope that someone read my posts i need help, my life sucks!

i don’t do drugs , i steer clear of most people . i never had any friends. my own daughter doesn’t want to listen, she denies bipolar and she gives me tips on how to feel that onlynormal people can use. she is a registered nurse and works upin a hospital. ihad a really bad sinus infection and most awful headache for almost four weeks and despite i tried to reason withher and told her how bad i was feeling and that i was sick, she i know what sick is i work in a hospital you are not sick. sick is when a person about to die. you were not sick! i felt that she didn’t are about me. she denied once more that i have bipolar. i was so upset i told her we will talk later good 14:50 bye in aloud voice. i left right then. i dont want to fight and she just 14:50 wasn’t being fair or nice at all! lreally hate life sometimes! i wish i i could tell her off. i love her, she’s my daughter. i felt she thought that i was fakin everything! i just can’t get over it and never will. 😢maybe i will stop talking to her or seeing her. she may as well 😊bug off for good, i don’t ever want to hear her try to speak to me again and when she calls, i will just hang up!

I've had an anxiety disorder all my life, I'm trained in REBT and feel overwhelmed at times.

Caffeine is not our friend fellow bipolar people.
