Hi again… I constantly watch all sorts of videos but they don’t seem to stick… I ruminate , replay past conversation /memories / look for reassurance …the tools I try to use our self-kindness/acceptance/& trying to be present …but ocd usually has the upper hand ….
I need this right now I feel like my head is going sideways. I'm staying in tonight with my cats. I'm feeling really scared and your comforting video is helping me
I never knew about grounding.. I wish they taught this in school because I need it
I agree that grounding is important and I appreciate you watching the video.
I like how you mentioned it can be used when you are happy too. Im joyless and trying to create positive pathways with gratitude awareness. I think your grounding techniques could be very helpful in rewiring for joy.
Thank you for all you do 💛
Amen great teaching Doc Snipes. I am so glad I have been learning grounding techniques from you it helps greatly, I am forever grateful! 🙌🏻☺️
These are wonderful tools that really work. They helped to calm down my anxiety immediately and got me out of my head. Thank you Dr. Snipes for all the effort you put into your channel to help us. You are having an enormous impact.
Thank you Doc. I'm going to recommend this video to the therapists at our acute behavioral hospital. The patients, adolescent and adult, have downtime between group therapy sessions. The techs let the patients watch movies (what a waste of time) or instructional videos which are usually too technical to be helpful (in my opinion) and the vocabulary is so technical the patients, especially the teens, don't understand it. Thanks again.
I have had the experience
of using grounding techniques
in critical conversation
and the other discounted me as
a mentally defective. Told me a lot about them, I don't regret it for my effort, dispite not accomplishing the conversation I was attempting to
accomplish.
Thankyouthankyou again.
So Helpful. Thank You 💖

Hey Doc. Got results of sleep study. O2 drops to 82%. Stop breathing 19/hr. Going with Inspire. Now I won't fall asleep during your videos.
Wonderful! Glad you are getting help.
Ma'am, does conscious attention convert Short term memory into Long term memory in human ?
These are good stop gap measures but I was hoping for actual therapy steps to assist overall growth and forward movement
I have tried all these techniques and everything associated with a lot of it all it does is just bring up more anxiety more stress only thing I can do is get out in nature and be away from people and just focus on just that and absorbing the energy from the earth and getting rid of the negative energy unfortunately with my circumstances it is very difficult if not impossible to do so I have multiple mental health disorders including migraines so this and other techniques have not really entirely worked for me not completely and I am also legally blind and extremely low vision light shadow mental health disorders that I have is borderline personality disorder bipolar two PTSD generalized anxiety disorder major depressive disorder and dissociative identity disorder or traits of that plus I also have migraines as I mentioned in the beginning portion so a lot of treatments don’t really work but I have been able to control things enough with medication’s to where I can function very well with some difficulty I have even tried dialectic behavioral therapy I am hopefully going to begin trying reflective therapy in hopes that things can work out better all my problems linked to childhood traumas and traumas in adulthood as well
I love your name. We have a lot in common; pain and suffering.
Can meditation be as grounding technique?
Of course
Okay how do you do that when you deal with ear problems and balance and dizziness
Thank you for watching the video. Here are some Grounding Techniques for Ear Problems and Balance Issues:
Focused Breathing: Practice deep breathing exercises, such as balloon breathing or four square breathing, to help calm the nervous system and reduce dizziness. Focusing on the rhythm of your breath can provide a grounding effect.
Sensory Engagement: Use the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique to engage multiple senses. This can help redirect your focus away from dizziness and balance issues. Identify five things you can see, four things you can hear, three things you can touch, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.
Seated Grounding: If standing is difficult due to balance issues, perform grounding exercises while seated. Place both feet firmly on the ground and focus on the sensation of the chair supporting you, which can help reorient your sense of balance.
Touch-Based Techniques: Use somatosensory techniques such as touching a chair, wiggling your toes, or gently massaging your hands to draw attention to the present moment and away from the sensation of dizziness.
Visual Anchoring: Find a stationary object to focus on. This can help stabilize your sense of balance and reduce feelings of spinning or dizziness.
Mindfulness and Meditation: Engage in mindfulness practices that encourage you to focus on the present moment without judgment. This can include body scans or guided imagery to promote relaxation and grounding.
Additional Considerations:
Safety First: Ensure you are in a safe environment where you can sit or lie down if you feel too dizzy. Avoid activities that could be dangerous if you were to lose your balance.
Medical Evaluation: If you are experiencing persistent ear problems, balance issues, or dizziness, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions that may require treatment.
Adaptation: Be willing to adapt grounding techniques to your comfort level and physical abilities, especially if certain movements exacerbate your symptoms.
Professional Guidance: Consider working with a therapist or counselor who can help you develop personalized grounding techniques and coping strategies for managing your symptoms.
Grounding techniques can be a valuable tool for managing the symptoms associated with ear problems and balance issues. However, they should be used as part of a comprehensive approach that includes medical evaluation and personalized support.
Is this effective for ocd ? It’s like it’s hard to rear my head out of the rumination of what ifs.
Thanks for watching the video. Yes, it is effective with OCH. Here is the video on rumination: ruclips.net/video/yMZpMtM7TkI/видео.htmlsi=H7ruVEiNl0b3aq5p

How do u explain the auto-pilot? For me I have been eager to feel my fluent tongue…….but auto - pilot seems to limit me to one- word replies. These are the very things I have desires to learn, but it seems like I struggle in my own pace…….likely I get by with casual words, but it feels like there’s a notch that doesn’t connect.
Auto-pilot means doing things without much thought. What are your favorite tips from the video?
I dislike CBT.
CBT is based only on mindset. CBT ignores toxic people - external factor that is true cause of any disorder.
CBT will instruct us to change our behaviour in order to crap fit into abuse, abnormal ambient and bullying, unreasonable demands of untreated mentally ill person who is aggressive, stubborn and demand their way or highway.
CBT is focused on panic symptoms and uncomfortable feelings - as if our reactions to something abnormal is problem. This is form of lobotomy. I learned that if we distrust our instincts we will crap fit into abuse.
CBT is thus setting us up for toxic shame: deep core belief that we are unable to handle life problems, that I must nitpick my valid and totally human reactions as catastrophe and something to cover up, stifle down and ignore.
If I feel uncomfortable, dysregulated, scared, anxious, panicked - instead of self pathologizing my reactions as CBT instructs us to do - I would go in the direction of discovery - what the hell is happening around me. To become scientist and Sherlock Holmes - look for clues, seek evidence, be transparent, objective and collect all available data. From my experience - it is always toxic person on the other side, hidden as altruistic narcissist, covert narcissist, that appears as help or service but in fact does damage due to their hidden agenda. If there is no toxic person - there is toxic shame, which even though it is internalized - it is external factor, since toxic shame is product of brainwashing, conditioning and gaslighting and invalidation that stems from untreated mentally ill people that inhabit/parasites in our toxic ambient.
With CBT advice to be self focused instead of calming and grounding - I ended up with people pleasing issues, stuck in abuse, bullying and mobbing. It is like ignoring your hand burning and keeping your body getting burnt. We cannot ignore our pain or label our pain as something to ignore, reject as invalid - that is sickness, that is road to illness. Even basic knowledge in psychology tells us not to stifle down negative emotions and hard feelings. IT simply is not healthy to stifle down emotions. It is not healthy to have ostrich effect:
"The ostrich effect is a financial bias that is owes its name to the false belief that ostriches hide their heads in the sand to ignore danger or pretend that it does not exist, as a way of protecting themselves."
CBT instruct us to figure out and control and handle difficult people. That is mission impossible. Narcissists do not want peace, they do not want harmony, they do not want resolution - because they are sick in the head, that makes them sick: desire to create chaos and breed animosity and drama and hysteria. With CBT advice to be assertive with difficult and aggressive untreated mentally ill people - we will get stuck in codependency and Karpman Drama Triangle.
We will not lose our ground if there is some mere unsignificant conflict or difficult problem.
We will lose our ground when toxic person is present who is creating problems and drama and hysteria.
Toxic people must be minimized, cut out of our life - that is the only way. The solution is not as CBT instruct us to change ourselves.
There is nothing to fix if we are in abusive situation - we are not the problem. Feeling out of ground is reaction to being in contact with mentally ill person such as narcissist and aggressive borderliner.
Thanks for watching!
Yes yes yes
@@patriciagriffin1505 I would just add what I learned and missed to say the last time.
I missed to say that Humanistic psychology (Rogers, Rollo, Maslow) is correct therapy instead of CBT. Humanistic therapies put focus on client - where client knows the best both environment factors and inner variables which CBT cannot handle nor describe with limited psychological vocabulary.
I learned in these 4 months that CBT is therapy of Ableism.
Ableism meaning that it negates anything from someone's definition of what is normal - and we live in relative world where everything is relative.
Unless we are anti-social, violent and or criminally insane - our fears, panic, trauma is not sickness to cure. Our negative emotions are part of ourselves and our life, stifling down emotions leads to mental illness as Jung and Freud said. Trauma means there was wound, it is not that our core self is sick, twisted or distorted as CBT claims with cognitive distortions ideology.
All people are prone to bias, prejudices, due to limited brain function we cannot grasp all the information, we cannot process it in few seconds - sometimes we need years to realize that happened and how to make correct choice about certain events, situations or people. CBT ignores this and forces us to develop perfectionism and hypervigilance to worry how to be perfect and without mistakes.

They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.
