You Are the Righteousness of God and Worst of Sinners!
When we come into relationship with God through Jesus, our identity instantly changes. In Jesus, we are seen as righteous and complete. But as the apostle Paul learned, we must always remember who we are without him.
This video looks at the challenge of gratefully receiving our identity as righteous and humbly holding on to our frailty. When we are weak, then we are strong! 2 Corinthians 12:10

When You Need an Apology
Просмотров 332 часа назад
Jesus says in Luke 17 "“If your brother or sister[a] sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them." How do we let another know that they have hurt us and what do we need from them to show repentance? In Matthew 18, Jesus walks us through a process to foster reconciliation. “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they list...

Apologizing is a skill and an art. To do it well requires practice, just like making a free throw after a foul. If you want to win at the apology game, you really want to SCORE. Say Sorry! Say it and Show it on your face. FEEL it to HEAL it. Claim responsibility. A good apology is specific. Responsibility is not the same as blame. NAME it to TAME it! Offer amends.

Mastermind or Servant's Heart?
Просмотров 4116 часов назад
Living mindfully means moving from head to heart. We must learn to surrender our desire to control our lives and trust that God will lead us well if we let Him. This tough. We are afraid to let go of the wheel. Even if we have crashed and burned, we are likely to want to get back to controlling as soon as we recover a little. This process of living from a servant's heart takes time and learning...
My Brother's Suicide May Have Saved My Life
Просмотров 25114 дней назад
My older brother ended his life when he was 24. I was 22 and in between my first and second years of medical school. At the time, I was at the verge of giving up my struggle with same-sex attraction and entering what was then termed the gay lifestyle. This was just before AIDS was identified, so I could easily have been a casualty in that tragic epidemic. The gist of the video is that God is ab...

Feelings! Push 'em down or ramp 'em up?
The more one understands God's grace, the more we can begin to forgive the unforgivable. The lost act lost. Believers want to be favorite. We are all stupid sheep expecting something from another human being what they are literally unable to do. We are being transformed into His image ... Personally, i go down often and make a lot of noise. But He is faithful; He will do it. By the way when i read HE MADE THE WHIP... I studied why he was so intense... 😢
IN, BY and THROUGH! I love those words. Romans 6, 7 and 8... O wretched man that i am. WHO SHALL SAVE ME? 😊. Yep. Same Answer. JESUS ❤️ Thank you for this reminder!!
Jamie, pull up that video of the bodacious bear climbing up a tree for birdseed.
❤
Ok I'm asking for it... Cannot tolerate any other med for anxiety. Reduced to quartering smallest amount of Ativan, but boy am i grouchy the next day!! And never consecutive nights... Even if insomnia bout. Why don't they suggest this? Ugh. Thank you!!
I am definitely interested
Great. Give me a call if you want to proceed. Did you watch the other video, called Ditch Alzheimers?
What a smart bear👏🏻❤️🧸
Great information. I just started this and of course a little nervous starting anything new. I’ve been trying other SSRIs and SNRIs, but they weren’t very helpful or stopped working for anxiety and depression. I experience fatigue with the depression. I’m taking Wellbutrin and Klonopin as well. I’m hoping this helps.
I hope so too. Let us know how it goes. Thanks for the positive comment.
Yes!!!!! TRUTH!
Job got his stuff back and then some WHEN HE PRAYED FOR HIS FRIENDS... check out his "friends" in the Book of Job in the Bible. 😊
Praying for those who do us wrong is powerful indeed! Thanks, Linda! <3
Psalm 17:15 i remind myself often i am seen as righteous because of Jesus, it is finished, and o wretched person that i am, who shall save me... It always leads to Jesus. I was raised in a religion that EXISTS through guilt, and knowing that Jesus paid for me is often too great to fully and daily comprehend. None of us can do it on our own. That's why He did. So happy I found your channel. Thank you.
Thank you, again Linda, for your thoughtful and insightful comments. I agree with you that the good news of Jesus is too great to comprehend. Thank God we don't have to understand, just receive! God bless you!
The Answer is Jesus. You are a slave to that which master's you. Is it ourselves or is it Jesus? Following His Spirit is a daily choice and even then i often fail. Thank God our Father that His mercies are new every morning... I stumbled upon ( did i? 😁) your channel in searching for the perfect antianxiety med, feeling like a total failure in my attempts to "endure" till the end. But in my unsuccessful attempts, i hear once again, that trust is in letting go. We walk by faith, not by sight. Bottom line: He is God and we are not. "Though He slay me yet will I trust IN HIM". Thank you, brother. Subbed. ❤️
Yes, indeed. I love Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11. "“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Thanks for your comment and for subscribing!
So, thank you for this video, Paul, but how would one handle a situation where an apology needs to be given (to me, for example) and isn't?
Forgive them for not asking for forgiveness. Trust me, it isn't easy, but it is a choice. Some days, I do it a dozen times. 🥰
@@lindadodd3829 thank you
You are welcome, and thanks for the question, Margie. I would probably let the person know you feel you need an apology to move forward with the relationship. Jesus addresses this to some degree in Matthew 18. If they do not care that they hurt you, you may need to let them know you can't move forward with the relationship if they don't care to make an apology. I will do a little video to address this. Thanks, again.
@@lindadodd3829 I agree we ultimately want to forgive everyone. If is a pagan, we just turn the other cheek. If it is a brother, Jesus says, "If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him." Luk 17:3
I just posted a video on asking for an apology. Let me know what you think.
Dr looney your videos are amazing and so helpful!! Im not sure why so many doctors say its useless? For horrible GAD I have had for 5 years im definitely going to give it a try. Does this medication cause insomnia at all? Also is this the only medication you can take for anxiety long term that doesn't cause withdrawl? Thank you for your caring demeanor!
So sorry about the GAD. It certanly can be horrible. I have some patients find significant decrease in anxiety with lamotrigine, but not as predictably. Klonopin works well and is also mood stabilizing, but it is addictive. Nonetheless. some do well on it for years. I think the reason most doctors don't use buspirone is that they don't go high enough with the dosage or they or their patients are not patient enough. Like all meds, though, side effects can cause problems. If so, I usually go down to the lowest dose - 5mg twice a day, and gradually work up. I hope it works well for you!
Thank you sir
Amen!

Hi doctor! Your video is amazing ✨I have a question.. Can it help anhedonia? Unfortunately, stimulants are unavailable in my country. Can it help?
If your anhedonia is related to low grade depression, I believe it can help. You might be able to order modafinil from out of the country. It might also be helpful.
I’ve been taking it for just over 6 weeks now I’ve been on 100mg for 10 days now and haven’t noticed any improvement. I take it for emotional instability my main problem is irritability and anger. I also have adhd and take 50mg Vyvanse. When will I start noticing positive improvements in my mood?
Some people see some improvements at 50 or 100mg. Others need to get to the target dose of 200mg before there is discernible response. If there are no signs of rash, I would likely go on up to 200mg daily - once a day or 100mg twice a day. Hopefully, you will see your irritability diminish and your stability improve. Let me know how it goes.
@ thank you, just had appointment with my psychiatrist this morning and I’m working up to 200mg taking 150mg from today 50mg in the morning and 100mg in the afternoon
@@paullooney It’s the 4th day of being on 150mg daily and I’ve noticed a decent amount of Improvement feeling hopeful now! See how I go and might try 200mg daily In a couple weeks
Ur dangerous saying u "love to prescribe Lamictal
I can see why you would say that. The truth is, I love helping people and this medication is very helpful for some. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@paullooney ur welcum
Hi Dr Glad to have found your channel. I have had chronic insomnia for 5 years mixed with GAD. Im finally going to give Buspar a try. As far as insomnia meds Ive tried so many. Ive been using Dayvigo for the last 2 months, seems like its working good. Any thoughts on that sleep medication? Thank you
Thank you for asking. Glad to hear the Dayvigo is helping. I am hopeful that new medications like this that work on orexin receptors may be a big plus in treating insomnia. It looks like it may still cause issues with memory (like Ambien) and possibly addiction. Of course, right now, it is also very expensive. Let me know how it goes!
Thank you doctor
How easy to withdraw?
Most people are able to quit without any withdrawal syndrome. Of course, it is almost always best to taper off a psychiatric medication, just to allow your brain chemistry to reequilibrate.
Fake anxiety medication hydroxcine is to how ever u spell it
Thanks for mentioning this. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine (like Benadryl) that actually does reduce anxiety in some people, but the pamoate form is better, in my opinion, that the hydrogen chloride form. That said, we now believe that long term use of antihistamines is linked to Alzheimer's disease, so I don't recommend it.
A switch from Cymbalta to Citalopram gave me immidiate Akathisia and did a lot of neurological damage. The akathisia hell that I’ve been through lasted 2.5 years. They gave me benzos on top which added more fuel to the fire. I asked numerous times if the Citalopram made it workse, they told me it didn’t. It obviously did. I am now clean for 18 months and I am absolutely ruined neurologically. My brain is destroyed. I suffer from severe neuropathy, spasms, anxiety, insane pain in my head like I am being stabbed over and over, my memory is ruined, anhedonia which I never had before and PSSD. Butchers. You seem like a great psychiatrist though!
I am so sorry for the horrible experiences. 😔 I pray you find healing over time.
Finally a truly honest psychiatrist!
Thank you. Doing my best.
Nice try diddy
I'm not sure if this is sincere or sarcastic. Either way, thanks for commenting!
Truth. TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's a renewing of the mind that is necessary and it's not easy but recognizing the learned behavior is a step....... take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus. ❤
@@lindadodd3829 shut up linda.
After trying almost all SSRIs and loathing them due to the sexual side effects, excessive sweats, nausea, sore tummy...I finally gave up on them forever. I then saw your video pop up randomly on RUclips and now my doctor is prescribing me with Buspirone for my anxiety. Thank you so so much! I wish I had known about this option earlier. Subscribed! :)
So glad you saw it. Praying for the best possible outcome. I usually start with 7.5mg twice a day and go up to 15 twice a day after a week if no adverse effects. The medicine should dial down your anxiety, but be patient. You won't get the full effect for a couple of months. It works better if you take it three times a day, but hardly anyone can remember a mid-day dose. Go up to a total of 60mg a day if you need it. Best wishes!
@paullooney Thank you :) my doctor wanted to start on 5mg 3x a day and then work up to 30 a day and then 60 if I need it. I will be patient to see the improvements :) haha.
@@Kayz_90 That sounds great if you can remember a third dose. Good luck!
That title is creepy.
Sorry. Do you have a suggestion?
80% of the women who's husbands stay. 80% of the men LEAVE.
Thank you. I know. We also serve the women's prisons, but not enough men stay married for us to do workshops there. So sad!
I’ve became a fan of your channel Doc.My doctor put me on lexapro for premature ejection and depression plus buspar .Just curious what you think about that ? most sssris completely kill my sex drive
Thanks for the kind words. Is the Lexapro working or has it killed your sex drive? If so, there are a number of strategies that can help. I will try to do a video, but feel free to reach out in a few days if it doesn't appear. 713-725-1305
A very sad but uplifting story you share here. A friend of mine did the same thing when I was younger.
So sorry to hear about your friend, Monroe. It happens all too often...
Hi Doc! Can you post a long or short on overcoming regret? I’d love your perspective. :)
Great idea, Monroe. Thank you. I certainly have had my share of regrets. I'll see what I can do. We should talk sometime!
❤
I'm curious to know if the skin issues happen more in children or in people that have sensitive skin, or maybe it's just random. I'm 43 and will start this med next week but I'm kinda freaked out by what youtube and google have to say about the rashes. Good video thank you
The rashes are definitely more common in younger people and also more common in women. Thanks for your comment. I hope you have a great experience with it.
Words of wisdom
Thank you, Sara!
If you're demonic you will feel accordingly and the hand of God will deal with the godless. Been there. Never again 😮
I also have trouble with most politicians, but still believe we should pray for them.
Amen! God calls us to pray for those in authority over us.

Go Trump! make America great again!
That is so true, this could not have come into my life at a better time. Thank you
Thanks, Gary. And you are most welcome!
Thanks for the video. Is Gabapentin good for anxiety?
It does have a calming effect, for some people, but I haven't used it much. I have heard that some people respond well to it.
Great video. I’ve tried Buspar a few times. My initial anxiety went up substantially. Do you think the increased anxiety would subside over time? Thanks.
I certainly would hope so, but there are always people for whom medication has a paradoxical effect. So much of what we do is trial and error.
I started buspirone 10mg twice daily since last 5days. So far no positive or negative effect. I suffer from insomnia since 10yrs. Want to get rid of ssri and benzo due to side effect.
Without side effects, I would immediately go to 30mg total daily in two or three doses. If you still are not getting relief, gradually titrate upward to a total of 60mg a day if needed.
Good info! I started it this week. No major side effects besides a little dizziness that passes after like 10 mins, and some brain fog.
Often those side effects will go away. Best of luck!

Id rather hate evil and love God. Because through out all the evil he was there with me and went through it with me. When he says he will never leavea us or forsake us he means it. When someone harms a believer, they are harming God. Matthew 25:40. When the early christians went through persecution there aresome documentation that they didn't feel pain. I believe that's because God was covering them to protect them from the evil the enemy used a person (who has free will) to hurt them.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
This view , music, and your words .. are healing
Thank you so much. I am blessed to have a such a beautiful surrounding.
I 100% agree with you about the danger of gender ideology and children. I disagree or may have only received a partial message regarding your statements about same sex attraction. Im gay and there is absolutely no way I could ever be sexually attracted to females, grosses me out, trued in my teens with a very attractive girl who I liked very much (but I didn't feel pair bonding feelings and later realized what that feeling is with guys and only guys) and physically my body does not work with females. So, while some may be bisexual and be able to find attraction to both sexes, some of us are not, and that will never be a comfortable option. When I think about forcing myself to be with a woman, the thought feels like it would be a forced thing kind of akin to rape, being forced even buly ones self to have sexual interaction. Maybe this has to do with religion for you, but homosexuality does exist in a definite form.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I agree with you about there being varying degrees of sexual attraction, and I understand your feeling that you could not be with a woman sexually. You are also right about me viewing sexuality from the lens of faith. For me, our bodies belong to God and I believe He is jealous if we share them outside the confines of marriage. Although I have never had sex with anyone other than my wife, I still am way more attracted to men than women. The New Testament refers to us as the bride of Christ, so I am pretty sure we are destined for intimacy with him. Can't wait! Thanks again for commenting.
