3 Mind-Blowing Gordon Lightfoot Songs THAT PROVE His BRILLIANCE! | Professor of Rock #shorts

#70smusic #gordonlightfootI was so sad to hear of the passing of Gordon Lightfoot one of our most treasured singer-songwriters. He started in the 60s, ruled the 70s, and continued into the 80s. He had the #1 smash Sundown which is one of the 70s greatest songs… To honor him I wanted to share some key lyrics from 3 of his other most beloved songs that are worth pondering The first one is from his top 10 hit from 1974 Carefree Highway: “And the thing that I call living is just being satisfied With knowing I’ve got no one left to blame. Talk about being honest with yourself..”The second one is from his top 5 hit If You Could Read My Mind from 1970. He wrote it about his divorce..: he says when you reach the part where the heartache comes the hero would be me. But Heroes often fail, and you won’t read that book again because the ending’s just too hard to take. Heart-wrenching.and the last one is from his 1976 #2 hit the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. “Does Anyone Know where the Love of God Goes When the Waves Turn the Minutes to hours? It sends a shiver up my spine every time I hear it. Gordon Lightfoot’s songs are like Old Friends and will continue to get us through the best and worst of times. Rest easy sir.

PTSD Treatment Options – How to Find a Good Trauma Therapist

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-d66DiFwvc
Hi everyone. I’m Emma McAdam, and I’m a  licensed marriage and family therapist.   And I make mental-health education videos.  And I’ve made a lot of videos about trauma   and trauma treatment. And so I get asked in a  lot of emails this question: How can I find a  
00:00:16
therapist who does trauma treatment like you? And  it’s a great question, not because I’m the world’s   best trauma therapist, that is not the case, but  because when it comes to therapy, it’s really good   to be an informed consumer. There are hundreds of  different types of therapy, and every therapist is  
00:00:33
different in how they approach issues. So  whether you’ve never tried therapy before   or you’ve worked with other therapists in  the past and you want something different,   learning about different treatment  modalities can be really helpful.  
00:00:53
So first, what is trauma? Trauma is  any experience that was overwhelming,   threatening, that caused pain, distress, or  fear to the point where you felt helpless.   It can include assault and abuse and witnessing  tragedy. It could include frightening medical  
00:01:09
experiences, near-death experiences, or  a severe loss. But basically when your   response to these situations interferes with  your life, you might receive a diagnosis of PTSD.   Or, if the abuse was ongoing for long periods of  time, you might get a diagnosis of complex PTSD.  
00:01:31
And symptoms include nightmares; feeling tense or  anxious all the time; being jumpy; feeling numb   or detached; feeling exhausted and depressed;  struggling in relationships, sleep, and and work.   So while almost all therapists have some skills  in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma,  
00:01:52
because these are such universal problems, not  all therapists specialize in trauma treatment.   So that means that most therapists have at  least a handful of tools to treat trauma,   but some therapists have a lot of skills and  interventions and resources and experience to  
00:02:10
help you out. And that’s not exclusive to trauma.  The more specific you can get with your diagnosis,   the more specific you can get in finding a  therapist who has interventions tailored to   your needs. Okay. So what are the trauma treatment  options out there, and how do you find a therapist  
00:02:27
who uses them? There’s a gazillion ways to do  therapy, but I’m going to highlight the ways that   are research-backed, meaning they have a strong  body of consistent evidence that these treatments   are effective. So the first approach to treating  PTSD is cognitive therapy. And this is called  
00:02:45
a top-down approach. So it includes cognitive  behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy,   and prolonged exposure. Cognitive approaches focus  on talking about your trauma, changing how you   think about it, and changing behaviors that might  be making it worse. So for example, you would  
00:03:04
tell your trauma story, and your therapist would  notice that you blame yourself for your abuse,   and then they would help you to challenge that  type of thinking and replace it with something   healthier, like placing the responsibility on the  abuser and forgiving yourself. Now, CBT has a lot  
00:03:25
of research for a couple of reasons: it’s been  around for a long time and it can be standardized.   They can, they can put it in a manual and say,  “Oh, in session one, do this. In session two,   do this. And then they can measure outcomes.  Most therapists include some form of talking  
00:03:42
and examining thinking patterns as a part of  therapy, but with a CBT therapist they may have a   very clear set of instructions for you. Prolonged  exposure is another type of cognitive therapy.   It’s essentially exposure therapy. You talk about  your trauma over and over until it’s no longer as  
00:04:00
scary for you. Essentially, you teach your brain  that you can face your trauma and be okay. Now,   cognitive approaches have been around for a  long time, and they have a lot of research   behind them. One study at Kaiser showed that  even just the simple act of a doctor saying,  
00:04:16
“I see that you have a history of trauma or abuse.  I’m sorry that happened to you. Would you like to   talk about it?” and then just listening – just  that simple act of addressing trauma without any   specific interventions – this decreased the  physical symptoms of trauma in a significant  
00:04:34
way. So I I don’t mean to minimize the  effectiveness of talk therapy with trauma,   but I think that I and many other therapists  find that trauma treatment benefits from a   really well-rounded approach. And cognitive  therapies focus on thoughts and memories,  
00:04:52
but they don’t do much to address the physical  reactions of trauma. Cognitive therapy can also   be really uncomfortable, and in some cases, you  know, re-traumatize the participant by having them   talk about trauma without the skills to calm their  body down. Now, that being said, cognitive therapy  
00:05:12
is still an effective approach. According to the  VA, around 53% of people who do cognitive therapy   no longer have PTSD after three months of  treatment. EMDR is another great approach to   treating trauma. It’s got a lot of research behind  it. It incorporates body-based soothing with  
00:05:30
cognitive work while also including eye movement  and bilateral movement as a part of the treatment.   EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization and  reprocessing. So basically, scientists found out   that when we have bilateral movement –  so that’s moving your eyes back and forth  
00:05:49
or patting your legs one and then the other –  that it stimulates the part of the brain that   processes memories. And this is similar to what  happens in REM sleep, rapid eye movement sleep,   because when you dream, your eyes move  back and forth. And this is a critical time  
00:06:04
when your brain processes memories without too  much emotion so that it can file them away.   So with EMDR and somatic approaches there isn’t  nearly as much of a focus on retelling the   trauma story or challenging thoughts or homework  assignments. And according to the VA, around 53%  
00:06:22
of people who do EMDR no longer have PTSD after  three months of treatment. Okay. The next type of   therapy, this next group of therapies incorporates  a much more body-based approach or a bottom-up   approach to healing trauma, and it includes  somatic experiencing, sensory motor therapy,  
00:06:41
and polyvagal approaches to trauma treatment.  So these approaches focus on the body and the   nervous system and how they get stuck in a trauma  response, and they teach people skills to soothe   the body and turn off the fight/flight/freeze  response and to activate their nervous system and  
00:06:59
work through the physical tension of trauma. And  it’s based off of the work of Bessel van der Kolk,   Peter Levine, Stephen Porges, Pat Ogden, Deb Dana,  and others. And it’s gaining a lot of momentum,   and the research behind its effectiveness is  growing. Interventions include things like yoga,  
00:07:19
learning nervous system calming skills, gaining  a greater awareness of your body’s reactions,   and working with your body to restore a sense of  calm. And I teach a bunch of these skills in my   free course, Grounding Skills for Anxiety, Stress,  and PTSD. So if you’d like to learn some of them,  
00:07:35
just check out the link in the description. When  someone asks me how to find a trauma therapist who   does trauma work the way I do, this approach is  one that I’m drawn to the most. Now, I understand   a lot of cognitive work. I’ve read books or  attended trainings on most of the approaches.  
00:07:52
And for me, the body-based approach really  adds a lot to the cognitive work that many   people have already tried. Somatic  experiencing is also a newer approach,   so there’s less research behind it, but studies  are promising. Some smaller studies have found  
00:08:08
that 67% of people experience a reduction of  PTSD symptoms, and a meta-analysis of 16 studies   found overall positive effects  of somatic experiencing therapy   on PTSD symptoms. Okay. Another type of therapy  is narrative therapy. And this is often used in  
00:08:27
a small-group setting. It’s another approach  that has been used with good results. And   basically you just get a group of people together  to talk about and work through their experiences.   People explore their narrative or their  interpretation of traumatic events with  
00:08:42
other people, and they create a new story around  their humanity. And it has a lot of good evidence.   Medication is another option to treat PTSD, and it  can be combined with therapy. Antidepressants like   Prozac, Paxil, Effexor, and Zoloft can be helpful  at treating overall symptoms. And basically,  
00:09:03
medication helps to quiet the alarm system that  seems to be constantly stuck in the on position.   According to the VA, medication is  effective for 42% percent of people. Also,   prazosin can help with nightmares, and anxiety  medications can help with the anxiety symptoms.  
00:09:21
Medication does come with the possibility of  side effects, and the benefits may go away if you   stop taking the medication. Now, I don’t think  that there is one approach to trauma treatment   that is best for everyone, so you may need to try  a few different things to find out what works for  
00:09:36
you. Also, a combination of approaches may be  best. Many therapists will integrate a cognitive   approach with body-soothing skills while also  encouraging you to work with a doctor to explore   medical treatments as well. Regardless of which  approach you want to try, it’s important to find  
00:09:54
a therapist who is experienced. So let me show  you one way I recommend doing that. So if you   go to psychologytoday.com (not a sponsor), their  therapist finder tool has some great filters. So   you just start by entering your location, and then  you can select trauma-focused EMDR or somatic, and  
00:10:13
then you can see a list of the providers in your  area. You can also filter by gender, religion,   by the insurance they take, and a bunch of other  characteristics. Now, just because someone says   they’re trauma-informed or they practice a certain  modality doesn’t mean they’re certified in it.  
00:10:29
So for someone to be EMDR certified, they need to  have done something like 40 hours of training and   50 plus hours of supervised practice. So look  for a certified provider whenever possible.   To become a certified somatic experiencing  practitioner you have to do eight training  
00:10:47
modules of four to six days in length spaced  out over two and a half to three years, so   this is really different from someone who’s just  trauma informed or has a different certificate.   There are a ton of other approaches to  trauma treatment that are gaining popularity,  
00:11:02
but they they just don’t have  as much research behind them.   These include brain spotting, neurofeedback,  mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy,   tapping. And there’s a lot of other things that  you can try that may help, but they don’t have as  
00:11:19
much evidence behind them. And so other other  interventions include things like journaling,   dancing, exercise, improving your overall  mental health, certain nutritional approaches,   and sharing your story with compassionate  people. All these things can be really helpful;  
00:11:37
they’re just not necessarily meeting that gold  standard of evidence-based treatment. Now, for   all we know, these may work. But the further you  get away from research, the less we know about how   the treatment will affect you. I’m pretty cautious  about recommending treatment without rigorous  
00:11:53
evidence, but I do encourage people to try a few  things until they find something that works for   them. So there you have it: a handful of different  approaches to treating trauma. I hope this helps   you choose a treatment option that works for  you. Thank you for watching, and take care.

Discerning of Spirits 💥 This is a Powerful Weapon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16muBXh9ytA

00:00:05
Today I’m going to speak about the remaining gift of revelation, distinguishing or discerning of spirits. The ability to recognize, identify   and distinguish between various  kinds of spirits that confront us.   And in this connection we need to bear in mind  that the Christian ministry is a ministry in   the spiritual realm. In Ephesians 6:12 Paul says  we are not fighting enemies of flesh and blood   or persons with bodies, but we are  arrayed against an evil spiritual kingdom,   spirits of wickedness. And so it is essential that  we are equipped to handle our spiritual enemies. The purposes of this gift, I  would suggest, are fourfold.   First of all, to lift the veil that  covers the unseen spiritual world.   The world that we really have to  deal with if we’re to be effective.
00:01:12
Secondly, to enable us to see  as God sees. In 1 Samuel 16:7   the Lord told Samuel this, “For God sees not as  man sees, for man look at the outward appearance,   but the Lord looks at the heart.” This gift of  discerning of distinguishing of spirits enables   us to go below the outward appearance  and see the condition of the heart.
00:01:39
The third purpose of the gift is to protect us  from deception. We are reminded that sometimes   Satan comes to God’s people as an angel  of light. He appears to be very beautiful,   very good and very wise. But his whole  purpose and intention is evil and destructive. The fourth purpose of this gift is to enable us  to diagnose people’s problems and so help them. Now the gift is discerning of spirits,  it’s not just discerning of evil spirits.   There are various kind of spirits that confront  us in the Christian walk. Let me mention four:   First of all, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit.  It is very important to discern the Holy Spirit.   Secondly, there are angels, both  good angels and evil angels. Thirdly,   thee are demons or unclean spirits. And fourthly,  there is the spirit of man, the human spirit. Now I want to give you some examples  of the operation of this gift   from the New Testament. First  of all in the ministry of Jesus.   In John 1:47 and following, you read  how Nathanael came to Jesus and it says: “Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him,   and said of him, ‘Behold, an Israelite  indeed, in whom is no guile!’” (NAS) How did Jesus know that there was no guile  in Nathanael? There was no outward way of   knowing it, but He discerned in Nathanael  a guileless spirit. Nathanael was amazed. “He said to Him, ‘How do You know  me?’ Jesus answered and said to him,   ‘Before Philip called you, when you were  under the fig tree, I saw you.’” (NAS) Probably Jesus was standing preaching and  Philip was standing there somewhere in the   background under the fig tree listening,  but Jesus looking over the heads of those   who were closer to Him, saw that face  and discerned that guileless spirit.   Nathanael was amazed, but Jesus said  to him, “This is only the beginning.” “And He said to him, ‘Truly, truly, I say  to you, you shall see the heavens opened,   and the angels of God ascending and  descending upon the Son of Man.’” (NAS) Jesus said, in effect, not merely will we discern  human spirits, but we’ll discern angel spirits   too. And of course, later on in the New Testament  this was fulfilled a number of times. For instance   in Acts 27 we read about Paul on the ship that  was being so terribly tossed by the storm.   They hadn’t seen the sun or the moon or the stars  for many days. All hope of survival was given up,   but an angel of God came to Paul on the ship.   And after that Paul stood up and spoke to  those men and encouraged them and he said this: “For this very night an angel of the God to  whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me,   saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you  must stand before Caesar; and behold,   God has granted you all those  who are sailing with you.’” (NAS) So we see that an angel came  to that storm-tossed ship,   but the only one who was aware of  the presence of the angel was Paul.   Paul discerned what the others could not  see, an angelic presence there on that ship. I’d giving you examples of two forms of discernment Jesus discerning a guile spirit in Nathanael and Paul discerning an angel of God on the ship. Now also from the ministry of Paul, I want to  give you an example of discerning an evil spirit,   a very significant and important example. This  describes what happened while Paul and Silas   and their company were in the city of Philippi to  bring the gospel to that city. And they were going   every day to a certain place of prayer, but there  was a slave-girl following them making dramatic   spiritual pronouncements about them. This is  the record as we find it in Acts 16:16–18: “And it happened that as we were going to the  place of prayer, a certain slave-girl having   a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing  her masters much profit by fortunetelling.” (NAS) The spirit of divination in Satan’s  kingdom is the fortunetelling spirit,   the one that predicts the future, that tells  you whether you are going to be rich or poor,   whether you are going to marry a  blonde or a brunette, whether your   mother or your aunt is going to die, and many  such things. That’s the spirit of divination,   the fortunetelling spirit. It is not from God, it  is from Satan. The Scripture then goes on to say: “Following after Paul and us, she kept crying  out, saying, ‘These men are bond-servants of   the Most High God, who are proclaiming  to you the way of salvation.’” (NAS) It is very significant that what she was  saying was absolutely true. That is an example   of Satan coming as an angel of light. But she was  nevertheless not serving God, but Satan. You see,   Satan’s purpose was to confuse the people  of Philippi. They were used to divination,   they were used to people with evil spirits. If  Paul and his company had accepted this girl and   her testimony, the people of Philippi would have  concluded, “Well, here is just another example of   what we have been used to all these centuries.”  But Paul didn’t fall into that trap. Through   discerning of spirits, he identified the spirit as  an evil spirit and this is how he dealt with it: “And she continued doing this for many  days. But Paul was greatly annoyed…   [Do you know that it is legitimate  sometimes to be annoyed?   To be annoyed with the devil is not a  sin.] …But Paul was greatly annoyed,   and turned and said to the spirit [not to the  girl, but to the spirit], ‘I command you in the   name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!’ And it  [the spirit] came out at that very moment.” (NAS) So the evil spirit was discerned by Paul  and then cast out in the name of Jesus.   That was a critical point. It  set the whole city in an uproar.   Satan’s purposes had been revealed and frustrated  and he became exceedingly angry and the most   unnatural tumult broke out in that city. That was  Satan’s response to his devices being revealed. Now let me give you just one example that is a  little similar from my own personal experience.   Actually, this incident in my life is mentioned  in Catherine Marshall’s book Something More.   It happened while I was ministering at a church  in Chicago. At the close of a service a lady came   to me and asked me for prayer. She said she had  personal problems. The Lord showed me, I think,   probably through the word of knowledge, that she  had been a spiritist medium. And I said that I   wasn’t prepared to pray for her. So she went  away but came back a few weeks later. She said,   “I have given up being a medium. I want you  to pray for me.” So I felt that I couldn’t   refuse. I wasn’t confident of her sincerity, but  I began to pray with her, and it was hard going.
00:08:44
After a while I paused for a moment. And as I  paused, she began to look at me intently and   there was a kind of strange fixed stare in  her eyes and she said, “I see you in a car   and it’s wrecked against a tree and there’s  blood.” For a moment my heart sank and I thought,   “I’m going to be in a car that’s wrecked  against a tree.” And then I realized that   isn’t the Holy Spirit. That’s the spirit of  divination by which she operated as a medium.   And so the anger of God came over  me and I said, “You divining spirit,   I reject you! I do not accept that as my  destiny! I’m not going to be in any car   that’s going to be wrecked against a tree!  I refuse it! I will not accept it from you!” I don’t believe that the woman was  delivered. At least not at that   time. Because I really don’t believe that  she had repented of her evil practices.   But I really believe that that  was a turning point in my life.
00:09:44
You see, when you go to a fortuneteller,  the fortuneteller predicts something evil   about your life, as often happens. If you say,  “Oh, isn’t this terrible! Think what’s going   to happen to me!” in a certain sense you are  submitting to Satan’s destiny for your lie.   And if you submit to it, very  probably it will be worked out.   What we have to learn to do is identify Satan even  in his deceptions, reject him, turn away from him,   turn to God and the Scripture and the Holy Spirit,  and receive God’s destiny for our life and believe   that rather than Satan’s destiny. But these days  it’s very important that we are able to discern   even when Satan comes to us in the  guise of an angel of light.

Anxiety Disorders (Series 1)

 Hello, welcome back to Mind Matter with Dr Ogochukwu Ojiaku Last time we discussed Prejudice and discrimination around mental illness and how we can fight stigma and support individuals with mental illness. If you have not watched the last video already, please endeavor to do so in order to stay up to date, Today we will be discussing anxiety disorders. This is going to have multiple series. Anxiety disorders are among the most common of all psychiatric illnesses. It is a mental health diagnosis that is characterized by feelings of worry, apprehension, and intense fear that are strong enough to interrupt one’s daily activities. I wanted to discuss anxiety today because many people are unaware that anxiety can actually be a mental health disorder that requires professional intervention. Of course, Anxiety is a normal human emotion. However, there are various levels of anxiety disorders. There are Mild moderate severe levels and then there is panic disorder. The mild and moderate levels of anxiety are normal levels. Actually, these two can be motivational. For instance, if you have an upcoming exam, this is the type of anxiety that motivates one to study harder in order to be successful on the exam In the mild level of anxiety, vital signs are normal. However, there is often increased awareness of one’s surroundings in the moderate level of anxiety. There is a mild increase in heart rate, a moderate increase in muscle, tone, subjective feeling of worry or apprehension, and narrowed perception. Then we have severe levels of anxiety and panic disorder. These two levels are considered pathological, which means they are abnormal. The severe level of anxiety causes the pupils to dilate diaphoresis, increase muscle, and rigidity, and cause urinary frequency, diarrhea, and sweating profusely. Panic disorder, on the other hand, causes significantly increased symptoms. However, today we’ll be focusing on the mild, moderate, and severe levels of anxiety in our future series. We will address the diverse types of anxiety, which will include panic. Disorder Anxiety is considered pathological When it is disproportionate to events When it is sustained over a long period of time When it impairs one’s function And when it is clearly unrelated to any identifiable event or situation in a person s life, This type of anxiety interferes With perceptions memory, judgment and motor responses, so they require professional treatment and therapeutic intervention, Initially anxiety present as several physical illness states, People experiencing anxiety may complain of chest, pain, heart palpitation, sweating and even feel as if there about to have heart attack. Of course, we want to make sure that the Individual gets a proper workup to rule out cardiac-related issues or other probable causes of their symptoms. Often anxiety is diagnosed or correctly identified after unnecessary assessment and diagnostic evaluation. This is due to the elevated level of somatic symptoms of anxiety disorder. Research has shown that untreated elevated levels of anxiety predispose people to other serious health problems. Therefore, with that said, the first step to seeking treatment is to talk to your medical provider to make sure that your symptoms are not due to other physical problems. Of course, If anxiety is diagnosed, a mental health professional can work with you to design the best treatment plan for you. Sadly, many people with anxiety disorder do not seek treatment because they are unaware that anxiety is treatable. As stated earlier, anxiety is among the most common psychiatric illnesses. It is distinguished by the degree of anxiety experienced by the client, the duration of the anxiety, the severity of the anxiety, and the behavioral manifestation seen in the client experiencing the anxiety. It is important, especially important to know that Anxiety ranges from acute state to chronic disorders and they are often associated with physical symptoms such as chest, pain, chest, tightness, weakness, and shortness of breath. In the future, we will explore the diverse types of anxieties that exist, which will include panic, disorder, Agoraphobia, Specific Phobia, Social Anxiety, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please call 911. You can also call the crisis line number 866, 903 3787, or go to the nearest emergency room for treatment. Our email address is located in the description. Please feel free to send us your broad questions. We will randomly select questions to be addressed in our future videos. Please, like comment subscribe, and share this video with your friends and families. Thank you for reading. I am Dr Ogochukwu Ojiaku. Thank you.As found on YouTubeAFFILIATE MASTERY BONUS: 6-Week LIVE Series Has Begun!

8 Struggles People With Anxiety Can Relate To

 (pleasant comforting music) – [Amanda] Hey there psych2-goers and welcome back to our channel. We wanted to let you know that your ongoing support helps us make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. So, thank you all so much for the love that you’ve given us. Before we begin, we wanted to remind you that this video is meant for informative purposes only and is not meant to be a diagnostic tool for mental illness. Please reach out to a mental health professional or your doctor if you think you might be struggling with anxiety. With that said, let’s begin. Anxiety seems to be so mainstream these days and people are feeling more stressed out than ever. However, there is a difference between experiencing anxiety and having an anxiety disorder. Feelings of nervousness or restlessness will go away but people with anxiety disorders get no such break from their symptoms. This can change the way you communicate, behave, and even think. In today’s video, we will be talking about eight struggles that people with anxiety can relate to. Number one, you fret and worry over small decision choices. Do you freeze with indecision when thinking about what you want for lunch? It usually shouldn’t matter that much but when your brain is moving at a mile a minute, it’s not hard to invent a hypothetical situation where this choice could mean life or death. There are so many what-ifs to consider and the anxious brain wants to examine them all. It’s important to remember why your mind stays stuck on something, it’s trying to protect you. The what-ifs are all meant to prepare your brain to deal with real situations, should they arise. Be kind to yourself when making a decision doesn’t come easily to you. It’s not for nothing, even if it is disruptive or frustrating. Two, which comes first, anxiety or sleep disruption? If you find it difficult to get a good night’s sleep with an anxious brain, you’re not alone. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, Stress and Anxiety is closely related to and often coincides with sleep disorders. These can range from nightmares or restlessness to more complex conditions such as bruxism, where you grind your teeth while you sleep, or narcolepsy which causes you to spontaneously fall asleep. It can be hard to tell whether sleep troubles or anxious thoughts are the root of the problem. Anxiety can cause a lack of sleep just as easily as a lack of sleep can make you feel anxious. Number three, the worst-case scenarios always seem more likely than they are. When you’ve been dealing with your anxiety for a long time, your brain gets used to being on the alert for danger, even when no one is present. This is why it’s easy to ruminate on negative or intrusive thoughts. Jumping passed the more likely outcomes to a worst-case scenario becomes automatic. Everyday occurrences send your nervous system spinning when you’ve become so good at searching for anything that might go wrong. We offer a challenge to any anxious psych2-goers out there, if you notice yourself imagining a disastrous outcome or event, see if you can come up with one other scenario that may occur instead. Is one more likely than the other to take place? Number four, you have no clue if others can sense your anxiety. Do you worry about whether Or can no other people tell when you’re feeling anxious? And then are you doubly worried about how someone will react if they do find out you’re having a panic attack? Since no people experience anxiety the same way nor are any two situations the same, there’s no tangible way to tell unless you tell someone that you’re not feeling well. If anything, your anxiety is not as noticeable as you fear it to be. There are so many other restless, sweaty, awkward people in the world and everyone else is probably too worried about themselves that they’re less likely to notice if you look a little flushed or acted a little odd. Five, you can literally worry yourself sick. Have you ever been so stressed and worried that you felt like you might throw up or pass out? When you suffer from anxiety, These severe reactions become normal which can put immense stress on your body over time. Mayo Clinic states that symptoms such as headaches, heart palpitations, and Gastrointestinal issues are common expressions of anxiety. Dealing with these over an extended period of time can lead to complications such as irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic disruptions in the nervous system. Six, self-doubt slows you down socially. Do you long to be out and about with your friends but your anxiety and doubt convince you to stay home instead? Socializing can be incredibly stressful for someone with anxiety, especially if you have social anxiety disorder which is specific to public or group settings. Between physical symptoms and a racing mind, keeping up a conversation with your friends can be tricky. Your brain interrupts with intrusive thoughts and questions and you wonder if you’re doing it right. If you notice that you’re worrying about whether your anxiety makes you come across as awkward or quiet, that’s okay. It’s good to be aware of your effect on others but make sure you’re trying your best to be genuine and be you. Living in today’s society is a lot of pressure already, so there’s no need to double down on yourself. Seven, you find it hard to stay focused, you find It is hard to stay focused. When your anxiety is bad, do you struggle to concentrate? Like, when you must reread a page in a book a couple of times over before you finally comprehend what you’re reading. Recent BBC research cites a 2011 study from the University of Notre Dame, which confirms that the brain is designed to hold only so much information at once. If you’re taking up that space with tons of what-ifs and worries, there won’t be much room left for anything else. Changing your thought patterns won’t happen overnight but it’s certainly possible. It will likely take some trial and error to find what works for you but practicing mindfulness, getting exercise, and avoiding multitasking are a few good places to start. And number eight, yes, you can have anxiety about your anxiety. Have you ever heard of agoraphobia? The UK National Health Service defines agoraphobia as a fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult or that help wouldn’t be available if things go wrong. Most people who suffer from this condition practice avoidance. Some might refuse to take public transportation or be in crowded or open spaces, while others may not leave their house at all. Avoidance aims to protect you from danger, panic, and even embarrassment.
