There really are many ways to relieve anxiety. It’s actually good to hear that people have different techniques that help them. Personally, listening to music and breathing is what calms me when I’m having an anxiety attack. Listening to the lyrics, beat, and melody helps me to be present and breathing to lower my heart rate. Recently, I’m been having them less but it still comes once in a while. It’s a process.❤
5:57 I am glad you recognized this! I hate having "noise makers" type items in more public spaces and so a lot of these items would not help me. Also so glad you recognize people can not and should not force what they view as "exposure therapy" on others. Great video and you explained why you agreed or disagreed very respectfully.
I learn to beat anxiety looking for power within me, not from outside. I learned that from stoicism, and it really worked, I used to have panic attacks because of the fear of losing control.
Free yourself from judgements, the moment you judge something is bad for you, being it a thought, for example, you're telling your brain it is dangerous, and that will trigger your anxiety.
Hi Georgia, I just wanted to say as a therapist myself (but one who struggles with recurring panic attacks) I really appreciate your content. You manage to be incredibly informative whilst keeping things very human. Thank you for everything you're doing for mental health online. ❤
Calm things like that vid of the tree make me MORE anxious... The only calm thing that helps is stop moving and just focus on breathing. Or if it's too much i'll have to walk around a table or something like that to get rid of the amount of energy and then i'll breath I really like your videos. The more I watch, the more I like ^^ Keep up the good work
I remember asking a while back, or more suggesting you should do videos on iconic slashers. I hope one day that you do, because their minds are incredibly fascinating to get into the nitty and gritty.
I really like this new type of video, please continue like that. I've been enjoying your video for quite some times now and i have to admit that you are one of the reason that made me go to psychology college, cause i wanted to do as much good to people as you did to me
Awesome video, Georgia! I especially like the 5-4-3-2-1 technique. I find that focusing on the senses helps me and 54321 will def make it easier for me to remember. Hope you have a great day!
I carry a roller ball bottle of essential oil called anxiety by Aroma Energy (they have an Amazon shop) because the blend of lavender, bergamot & Ylang Ylang is so calming. It’s also soothing for bedtime as lavender can make me feel sleepy, and the association with rest can bring ground much faster than if so didn’t use any night time oils at all. With it being available in rollerball bottle form and can be applied like any other rollerball fragrance which isn’t something that would cause the unwanted curious attention from onlookers.
The thing with the arachnophobia reminds me of something that happened in early my early childhood, before school. My aunt thought it would be a cool idea to just drop me in a swimming pool without any safeguard. Thought I would drown and my parents were really confused the next time they went swimming with me because I sat in my fathers shoulders and didn't believe them as they patiently told me over and over that they wouldn't let me go when we practiced swimming. They didn't, I learned swimming and I trust actions not mere words.
Georgia! it is SO VERY wonderful of you to provide your professional, highly trained and intelligent opinion on these anxiety related TikToks and shorts. You're an expert wilderness guide, for certain. = ) You know those vent hoods over the stove? Last summer, air conditioner on...TV up loud...conversation with my Mom...I heard...something. A faint...minuscule...shift...of something. Like it slipped...and slid for a brief second. Went into the kitchen and saw a bag of popcorn had begun to slip out of the cupboard and was partially on the stove hood. Awareness also helps to defeat anxiety. You live a life less startled. Anxiety to me, is dating. BUT...I CAN be bribed. With chocolate. (I'm a large guy, so it would have to be a lot of chocolate = )
Hi Georgia, I really like your videos and the fact that you make videos about series. You helped me a lot to recognize the things that I don't need to worry because they don't matter. The idea with the stones is very useful, I do a lot of things like this when I start to get nervous because it occupies my brain and so I don't start to worry, I just focus on what I'm playing at the moment, for example with a pen or my hair elastic. They help me a lot in paying attention to one thing at one time, so while I studying, when I started to deal with several things at the same time they help me get back to what I'm doing. Can you tell me some tips how to overcome the fact that you constantly feel guilty because someone you loved is in the hospital while you are enjoying life and how to not thinking aboute it all day long? Thank you for everything (English isn't my first language, so possibely I made some mistake forgive me because of that)
Would love to see more reaction videos, yes! Could you also talk about your ideas on how social media has made mental health resources more/less accessible? Self-help vs. professional help and the pros and cons to both?
Lol in think my original message got deleted or something hahah it's cool Basically went something along the lines of congratulations on the fun new format of the wind this is what you mentioned about other new typs of videos. Ps I would love the vr rig set-up for playing vr would be amazing
The VR thing looked hilarious, but still would be a lot of fun doing it. Don't matter how ridiculous you look to everyone else. And the spider prank is a good way to get punched in the face. Don't do that. Unless is someone who loves to handle spiders. Also, Georgia looks really cute here.
The idea of the guy using the app to ease someone's arachnophobia is countered by the fact that 1) though it turns out black widows aren't as "aggressive" a species as we were once made to believe, their venom is still very bad for people who are bitten, 2) it's an image of a very recognizable species known to have deadly venom, and 3) SWEET JEEBUS THAT'S A BIG ONE! WHERE'D IT COME FROM, VICTORVILLE, CA?!? (We get REALLY big ones up here.) Even for a graphic image that looks huge, which using that to "ease" a fear would drive it home ten times harder...it's on par with using a tarantula (which actually ARE docile) which, though "harmless", still have very large fangs and would still hurt if bitten. Part of my own arachnophobia, which strangely does NOT include tarantulas (to get bitten you sorta have to "earn it"), is that my mother was allergic to their bites, an allergy I inherited as well...if I see a black widow in my garage (again, here in Victorville ours are HUGE) and go nuts with the bugs spray it isn't just that they're "creepy" or "scary looking"...if I'm bitten I literally have five minutes get antivenom in me, and ambulances won't get there in time...9-1-1 is just the last friendly voice I hear until the end. Similarly I have a weird fear of heights...it's not just being afraid because the ground is further below me than normal (I was actually good on high-dives in high school, and skydiving is fun because the ground really is so far down it no longer seems scary), but get me on a lagger and have it wiggle just a little...it's not just that I'm "high up," it's that the ground HURTS when you land. So yeah, sometimes those "irrational fears" are irrational...other times they're irrational but based on actual threats.
Asking TikTok for advice is like asking your friends a trivia question when you're five hours into a pub night - it'll probably be interesting and definitely be loud, but if it's correct it's by coincidence.
That's an incredibly interesting info, i mean if most of your reality is something if if it is wrong, some people will see it as objective. i have always wondered why schizophrenic patients refuse to admit that some of their ideas and hallucinations are wrong and that can be the answer. It not is a satisfactory answer, it can make a good line of questioning to help a schizophrenic patient know what's real and what's not. Hope i typed that grammatically correct lmao
Hi, I have a friend with lilapsophobia (phobia of tornadoes). There is a severe weather outbreak forecast for her area this week with the potential to spawn multiple tornadoes, similar to what hit the Midwest on Friday. Any advice for helping her keep calm during?
practice breathing techniques distraction t4echniques and have them journal what part of tornados are scary to them and why. that should help and give them a safe spot where its secure for them to stay safe incase. you are already the most importing part -a kind supportive friend
my fiancee had a pair of rings that have rotating outer bands. she can fiddle with them rather discreetly when her anxiety kicks up. in fact i think they are just called fidget rings (tho i might be wrong)
Hey Georgia :) i love your videos as always since they’ve been helpful to me from the time i subscribed. Thank you for all your advices and tips and the positivity you spread! ❤️ i wait for a house of dragon video of yours, even if its the last but can you make another one please like before? I miss your analysis on House of dragon (game of thrones universe) 😁
Hi Georgia, very good video like all your videos. I wanted to know if you have plans to see Neon Genesis Evangelion, the director reflected in the series all the problems that were happening to him. your opinion would be interesting.
And the tictok therapist, she told me what to do. She told me. Ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang wall awalla bing bang Lol we all know the real therapist is on RUclips.
I worked with an old man years ago that had this HUGE fear of mice. We were out in the shop one day, and at the time, I had no idea that he had any kind of fear of mice, and I forget what it was we were talking about, but I see this mouse right behind him, maybe a foot or so away from one of his feet, and at one point, I say something, I forget what it was, but I end the sentence with “Kind of like your little buddy there.” and point to the mouse behind him. He looks behind him, it takes a second or so for him to see the mouse, but when he did, the reaction he had to it was one of, if not the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen in my whole life. A verbal description ain’t gonna do it justice, but I’ll try. He jumped up in air, flung his arms up as high as they would go, and yelled “ ITS A MOUSE!!!! MIKEEEE. HELPPPPPPP, HELPPPPPPP. KILL IT, KILL IT, KILL IT.” To this day, I still wish to god that I’d have had some way on me to videotape that reaction he had to that mouse (at the time all this went down, phones that could take video were pretty much in their infancy still, so almost nobody had one). If I could set up a mouse prank with the old man kinda like dude in this video did with his mom and the spider, and his reaction is even half as funny as it was that day in the shop, it’d TOTALLY be worth it 😂
The first bit and your response gave me complete "this is buzzword bs" vibes and I thought it was a joke video based on that... When you use words like this, that mean nothing, just throws people off...
I'd just like to add that it would've been better if you had put a warning before the clip with the spider "prank" and each time you brough it up again... You talked about arachnophobia knowing all the info about it but gave no warning to viewers who might have arachnophobia, that's not cool
Tbh, U could have just said she looks like Courtney miller, no need to add the older part. But she has actually addressed that, that she looks like Courtney miller. I think it's in her recent Q&A video. She does look a lot like her.

Loved the insight on the spider thing.
4:40 the 5 4 3 2 1 technique gave me anxiety.

Your choice of topics for videos is elite.
This was really cool. You know your content made therapy content one of my favourites in my algorithm recommendations haha (and I'm better for it!)
Awesome video, Georgia! I especially like the 5-4-3-2-1 technique. I find that focusing on the senses helps me and 54321 will def make it easier for me to remember.

i would love more videos like this one!! great job ❤️
yay I will do just that
Would love to see more reaction videos, yes! Could you also talk about your ideas on how social media has made mental health resources more/less accessible? Self-help vs. professional help and the pros and cons to both?
The opening to this video is hilarious good analysis on anxiety.
I love this video! I really want it to be a bit more longer thou cause you explain things so calmly, it's relaxing and informative
i really enjoyed this video, it went by so fast! i would really love if you do more videos like this 👍
You reacted to my role models, and now I understand myself better.
Love this channel
thanks so much that is my hope
8:06 that's why I quit telling my sis and parents what I'm scared of
thank you for the reactions video Georgia!
Lol in think my original message got deleted or something hahah it's cool
Basically went something along the lines of congratulations on the fun new format of the wind this is what you mentioned about other new typs of videos.
Ps I would love the vr rig set-up for playing vr would be amazing
The VR thing looked hilarious, but still would be a lot of fun doing it. Don't matter how ridiculous you look to everyone else. And the spider prank is a good way to get punched in the face. Don't do that. Unless is someone who loves to handle spiders.

I depersonalized but I wasn’t in a life or death experience.

how about a Video about Masculinity in Letterkenny
my fiancee had a pair of rings that have rotating outer bands. she can fiddle with them rather discreetly when her anxiety kicks up. in fact i think they are just called fidget rings (tho i might be wrong)
Great video Thank you

On the topic of the psider app, is it really a prank if he's explaining it as it's happening?
I first thought when I saw the title that this was a video about stop scrolling on tiktok.😂❤
well that may also be a thing = )
i think i feel constantly jarred
Please do videos on "Succession" a show entirely dedicated to broken people. Should be fun. Roman is a particularly interesting stunted man child.
Ugh i wish you were my therapist
I had some people part of a meeting sort of thing that taught me the hand tracing thing...does not work for me, sorry.
Hi Georgia,
very good video like all your videos.
I wanted to know if you have plans to see Neon Genesis Evangelion, the director reflected in the series all the problems that were happening to him. your opinion would be interesting.
Do Star Wars next pls :]
🙏🙏🙏🙏
And the tictok therapist, she told me what to do. She told me.
Ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang wall awalla bing bang

Completely unrelated but it’s honestly uncanny how much you look like an older Courtney miller lol.
Tbh, U could have just said she looks like Courtney miller, no need to add the older part. But she has actually addressed that, that she looks like Courtney miller. I think it's in her recent Q&A video. She does look a lot like her.
