Spot on. The feedback from the body is so important. Years ago I used to take my panic disorder clients into places they feared like supermarkets. Their natural reaction would be to try and get in and out as quick as possible which sends the signal to the limbic system that supermarkets are dangerous. This makes panic attacks in supermarkets more likely. By encouraging them to go slowly and not keep checking the exit, although they would be nervous at first when they came out of the supermarket without a panic attack, they learnt that they could signal safety to their anxious minds through their physical behaviours. This discovery can be a real turning point in the treatment of panic disorder.
WOW … I haven’t been out for weeks because of agoraphobia brought about by being a victim of domestic violence but after listening to this my mental movie is going to be one of freedom imagining. going out and it’s a fantastic wonderful place I’m trying it right now and will update Ps at the moment I struggle to go 100 yards! I’ve been travelling I’ve been going out Went to a farm Went on a quad bike Met 5 dogs In a great relationship Unfortunately yesterday I had a huge panic attack and feel that it’s set me back Any advice welcome Dennis I’ve got a hairdressers appointment and I’m getting anxious about it but determined to go
Hey hope your doing better but remember that the brain still remembers of your last panic so its normal to have panic attacks again. How you respond to them is what determines how long you are back in that anxiety cycle. Remember that nothing bad happens and you can still have a good day. Don't fear panic because you have made it out alive every time and you will everytime. Also, it's important to not avoid you got this!!!
Sorry I'm weak in reading comprehension, terrible in english and I'm not an American or English speaker, what do u mean by mental movies, I'm suffering to agoraphobia because of toxic neighbors. I'm shaking a lot, stutter and mumble a lot too when seeing them in groups
@@IamDoomed15 psychiatry is still a lot of underwork, believe me what u have is probably social anxiety, or probably your neighbor is just shit if you have social anxiety then exposure therapy is the way to go.
@@IamDoomed15but still it might be agoraphobia or it could be anything but nowadays the most common is social anxiety, there is even one journal with more than 1 in 4 have social anxiety of it questionnaire
I been on ssris for over 8 years now and I also take Xanax when needed, two months ago I asked my doctor to lower my dose on my depression medication because I felt better, now I’m starting to have anxiety and depression again, I don’t want to be on medication for the rest of my life, I live my life in fear but it doesn’t stop me from going to work or socializing but most of the time I just want to be home laying in bed, I love Dennis for all his videos that I can relate too but I need help with how to wean myself off the medications without the horrible symptoms
Thank you. I did this exposure therapy and it does work, but then i had a massive panic attack and led me to being afraid of going anywhere. Recently ive just started back to exposure therapy. Today i drove to my old workplace and i actually enjoyed just sitting there talking with friends for 15mins(not long) but im usually trying to hurry myself along. But today i felt like i accomplished something. Thank you for this video because im working on exposure but have been doing it the wrong way. This time i will play a mental movie and go out and be mindful of myself and what im doing
I am suffering a very lengthy protracted withdrawal (15 months now) from coming off of SSRIs and Benzos after many many years and have developed very intense agoraphobia where I can no longer drive myself. It’s not the fear of driving itself but the fear of being far away from my “safe space,” which is my home. I tried to drive by myself a few weeks ago but did so by trying to muscle through, and in fact, re-traumatized myself. Today or tomorrow I am going to try the mental movie technique to retrain my brain to connect the act of driving with something positive rather than something terrifying and life-threatening. This is very hard for me as I have awful health OCD and physical symptoms that has been made even more intense by my body’s hyper-sensitized state as a result of an iatrogenic effect of the medications. Hopefully this technique will help! Thanks for this video and all that you do to help those of us suffering with health anxiety🙏❤️
Hey Mary, just for a point of reference, I was on benzos for over a decade and thought I had protracted withdrawal. I have been off for 11 months now and believe I never had protracted withdraw at all....it was anxiety. I tapered for 7 months leading up to stopping so I know I didn’t go too fast. I don’t know your story but I bring this up here because 1. I hated thinking that I had protracted withdrawal and for a while thought it would never end and 2. you might not have protracted withdrawal either. Maybe it’s just old symptoms returning now that you are off the meds. Just throwing it out there. I hope you some relief either way. 👍🏻
i was diagnosed with healthy anxiety a while back due to a b12 deficiency causing a panic attack in the car where i thought i was about to meet my maker lol. anyways while the deficiency has been treated it has caused physiological issues such as the fear of driving alone far from my "comfort zone" such as home with family or i need someone with me. The worst for me is having to drive on a highway sometimes alone, people getting impatient with me because im driving slower. meanwhile im having to deal with focusing too much on my symptoms of dizziness, heart palpitations, fear of passing out or causing an accident which they obviously dont know. im also constantly eating which doctors have said is related to anxiety, i hope they are right but i dont know how to get pass this :( im trying really hard to break this cycle because i truly feel trapped, i dont go out anymore i dont see my friends and i refuse to take medication for this because it brings a whole new can of worms to the story. anyways, this video couldn't have come at a more needed time, and ill be focusing on the pre driving visualization and see if that helps.
i was prescribed cilift but hesitant to take it because ive heard its difficult to come off of as well as the initial phase you feel worse. anyways will see if i can do this the natural way otherwise i might go the medication route
@@marcleroux3426 Don't try natural remedies first. Pharmaceutical Medication comes with so much side affects. Also check your blood work eg D3 and B 12 deficiency. All the best
I'm going through the same thing! Thank you for sharing. Mine started with anemia. Still getting my numbers up. I have faith that we will get through this😊
Love this video! As the holidays are approaching and the expectations I am putting on myself have me thinking to already back out and cancel it all. What really hit me during this video is when you said, “There is no result. If there is result that you desire there is also No need for control and certainty.” “If there is no control and a need for certainty then there is no anxiety.” This is what I am going to keep reminding myself. I also am going to start using the the mental movie tool. Great video and great tools to keep on our belt. Thank you for all your guidance.
This helps so much!!!! Thank you for showing us how to reframe the thoughts around exposure. I fought through an exposure last week and now I have to do it again today and it is making me even more anxious. I’m trying to change my mindset around it so I can be more calm. I have had a symptoms flare up from doing it last week because I went about it the wrong way. I am visualizing the situation in the best case scenario now and until I have to go.
Thanks a lot Sir... God bless you... After this video now i do my expodure work starting with my imagination first instead of doing the exposure directly with the real things... I think it must must going to do much more & ofcourse much better that i tried with the direct exposures... Thanks a lot... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
you will, it's a matter of time until the fear disapear. Confront your fear and say to yourself that you don't care anymore and that you are tired of being afraid.
Watching from Africa Kenya going through chronic anxiety disorder i need your help ,I can't stop thinking about my past experiences with alot of fear in my life on medications but seems they are not working
Dennis I have to go to the doctor today to get blood work results and I am terrified! I almost don’t want to go or know. Last time was 9 months ago and my liver enzymes were slightly elevated and he wanted to recheck them. I’m a health anxiety mess. I’m trying to visualize a great doctor visit but the only thing is I feel like I am setting myself up for a shock if they were still elevated. I’m just a mess. Any advice as I go today at 4 pm pacific. I’m really really a mess. Thanks my friend. You’re the best!!
When I imagine going out it gives me instant anxiety even if I am telling myself it will be fine. What actually worked- mindset 'I am gonna accomplish that no matter what. Even if I would have 100 panic attacks along the way I will rise up and do my thing."
I have a been doing exposure work for 4 months and I am improving, but not where I would like to be. I am afraid of stores and standing in line. It cannot go fast enough for me. I am tense, but able to accomplish the purchase. I will try the dreams before exposure and try to find something positive I did after exposure. The exposure only seems to be confirming that stores and lines are dangerous.
Have you tried his mind mapping mediation yet? I found that was the essential piece for me to physically calm down. It took me from having 5-6 panic attacks daily to where I am where I've had one panic attack in the last 3 months and I started in February. It gets harder right before we have our biggest breakthroughs. You can do this. 💪🏾
That's me when I get up in the morning I feel scared to go to work because of the anxiety feeling I get the tension through my body and where it's hard to breath I did so good last March until September then my son stressed me out and worried me and that trigger it and my car was messing up so had to get a new car and I moved into my girlfriend house so I have some good day's and then have my day's where I just don't feel myself almost feel like someone taking over my body and it is and it's called anxiety so then I want to drink because that helps until the next morning anxiety very scary I would never want anyone to go through this I just want to get back to myself where I was calm relax and sleeping good and not feeling scared🙏
See, I don't have any past trauma. I always get confused when you say that. I don't have anxiety from trauma. It's just a natural thing in my DNA, really.
Brother can u give me some treatment or tips? I get fear or anxiety at outside & road & and at restaurant too when alone .

Mine started through a custody battle. Something about court triggers me badly and I noticed because my amygdala has been in threat mode now I feel stuck in it and dont know how to find the peace and to stop being hyper alerted and vigilant. Maybe because Im an empath. I get really bad anxiety and go into freeze mode and get lightheaded and naucious and its been this way for a couple years. Anticipation anxiety is the worst for me. I anticipate fears and the worst and I dont know why! Maybe because Im a good person and hes playing victim and making me out ot be the villain and its heart wrenching and makes me so emotional. Ive been trying to work together and find peace in the situation and I cant because hes making me the threat and Im far from a threat.
I'm so sorry your going through this. I totally get where your coming from as an empath myself. I take on other people's emotions all the time. It's so draining. I get so mad at myself because I want to be like other people who don't care about things. My problem is, is that I care about EVERYTHING!!!!! It's so annoying, my brain is like a hamster on a wheel

What’s a good exposure for globes sensation? I have it on a daily basis sometimes all day, sometimes 20 minutes of it here and there. I also suffer with air hunger badly, I’ve noticed when I’m dealing with the air hunger the globes is worse. Once I can stop my shallow breathing and fix my air hunger the globes is still there sometimes worse.
funny when u say expose yourself....its what has gave us anxiety in the first place, being shy and insecure, become completely open and yourself stops anxiety......i know what you mean...but its deeper in other angles as beginning to end
Another amazing video thank you! I got often caught in the anxiety/panic spiral while doing my hobbies out in the ocean, positive imagination preparation is definetly sth I'll do more often 😍😇☺️
I definitely got a lot from this video. Makes a ton of sense. Unfortunately when you started talking about exposing myself to the fear. My mind went right to....I'm scared of coronavirus, my neighbor/cousin has it. But I'm not exposing myself to that. 😂 Ok I know not funny....but that was my 🤔 thoughts
Tbh, my dad had it for about 2 weeks, I had to be the one to be around him the most and take care of him. However, I never caught it even while being close to him because I did all the things I was supposed to do. Keep my distance when I could, wash my hands a little more than usual, sanitizing my house pretty regularly. I think that if you’re doing the right things, you can reassure yourself because you’re doing everything right 😊 hope this can give you a little hope
@@charlesvergara30 it actually does, thank you 🤗 I do intermittent fasting, I'm on vitamin D, magnesium,olive leaf extract and astaxanthin. But unfortunately I lost 2 family members to covid 7 days apart from each other 😢. I'm to scared to that shot and I'm scared of covid. I'm just sick and tired of being scared of everything, I wish I could be normal 😡
@@jessie9653 I’m so sorry to hear that 🙏 I actually lost a couple family members to covid and a few friends to it too this year. So I know that lingering feeling that it might be closing in on you. But you’re doing everything right. I think for you it’s a healthy fear until it takes over your life and keeps you from living. For you to face it, I believe you should face everything covid keeps you from doing if it has kept you from it. Nothing wrong with being cautious. But once you covered your bases. I think you can establish that safety knowing you did everything right 😊 at least that’s what I did and it’s really helped
@@jessie9653 Oh and believe me, you’re more normal than most people 😊 a lot of people are so careless and don’t care. I think once you find that balance you’ll be right where you should be 😊

See, I don't have any past trauma. I always get confused when you say that. I don't have anxiety from trauma. It's just a natural thing in my DNA, really.
When we change the definition of trauma we can understand how we’ve created the associations we have that create the anxiety we feel.
We often forget but underneath the subconscious remembers.

I'm just sick and tired of being scared of everything, I wish I could be normal 😡
@@jessie9653 I’m so sorry to hear that 🙏 I actually lost a couple family members to covid and a few friends to it too this year. So I know that lingering feeling that it might be closing in on you. But you’re doing everything right. I think for you it’s a healthy fear until it takes over your life and keeps you from living. For you to face it, I believe you should face everything covid keeps you from doing if it has kept you from it. Nothing wrong with being cautious. But once you covered your bases. I think you can establish that safety knowing you did everything right 😊 at least that’s what I did and it’s really helped
@@jessie9653 Oh and believe me, you’re more normal than most people 😊 a lot of people are so careless and don’t care. I think once you find that balance you’ll be right where you should be 😊
@@charlesvergara30 thank you ☺️
