Overcome Anxiety and Trauma Loops with Brain Retraining

Did this this morning and it worked great...seeing disruptive thoughts from an 'outside of the mind' perspective (pretend to be looking in at the thought, not being trapped inside of it) allows for near instant objectivity and release of anxiety.

I’m an older person recovering from neuroborreliosis. It is critical to slow down video speeds, set volume to constant and know how to pause. These videos are great without watching… The eyes and brain are so easily overloaded by screens. It does recover if the brain can rest. Workplace laws? No family to lean on because “you look fine”? Accept that it’s difficult and leave those who are demanding you to wake up and handle everything you could do while a healthy overachiever. Respect is a hard thing to earn from those who leaned on you before your illness.

This is a good message, but very difficult to implement if anyone has tried...I've tried. It's doable but takes a lot of patience, self grace, and and being kind to yourself. Mindfulness meditation everyday has helped; I used the book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels but there are many out there. Silence and solitude (especially in nature) are an amazing healer.

Jumprope is good for brain retraining.. and mantra meditation

Ben Ahrens, Thank You so much for answering my question!!!🙂And for answering my question first!!! For me, I have found that discovering or identifying the unhelpful loop or pattern in the first place seems like the biggest challenge. Personally I am very much hoping and looking forward to the next video that you put out like this. Perhaps you could identify common example thought loops and then maybe break down simple steps with those loops in some future video? (Please?) I absolutely connect with anxiety and depression on a visceral level and I am very glad you included those issues in this video. Would love for you to address common thought loops (negative patterns) associated with 1) chronic fatigue and 2) chronic pain as those two issues may resonate with you from your own personal journey of recovering from chronic symptoms from Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease.

Possibly play the viola for 5- 10 hours per day? 😊 5 minutes of viola is better therapy than the last 5 years of counseling. Yup.

good stuff, I'm inspired. I'm taking the path towards God in my healing journey and proper regurlar prayers retrain the brain, and soul, so this will fit perfectly just a few adjustments to the protocols(I'm looking in BR in genera)

Thank you for the great info free. There are so many sharks out there mining very sick people. So many cant afford to get the help which is pretty disgusting really. So kudos to you for making it available to all.

Great video❣ By hearing you use the term "allostatic load" and looking it up (and a lot of words connected to it 😊 ) a whole new world of insight and understanding opened up for me. An astonishing new perspective of the interconnectedness of the body, its biochemistry, the brain, perception, psychology, sensed state of being and quality of life... this is so new and so revealing for me that I still barely can put words on it. - On a practical level I`m regularly using your exercise combining the physiological sigh (heard first about it from Andrew Huberman), the snapping and clapping for a few days now and I'm already feeling good results. (I modified this exercise a little by combining it with the butterfly embrace from EMDR during the exhalation phase and this work even better for me). - So thank you so much for the GREAT work you are doing! You certainly have lit a beacon of hope for me. 💖

3:24 para sympathetic state is efficient and is optimal for self healing and self regulation

This video was very well done!!

The exposure therapy I'm doing now to try to get past this to make my brain realize that it's safe to be riding in the car and it's safe to be going in the stores and stuff even though I'm dizzy is very very hard it's so hard to make any progress

Interesting video. I've been watching a lot of them I am struggling with horrible anxiety and basically a panic attack while riding as a passenger in the car parrots some of it is linked to my inner ear problem but this really bad anxiety and stuff is something new and I think I know when it happened and now I cannot seem to turn off the fight or flight

i have been waking up with morning nausea ,i am going through so many things and i cannot seem to get this off my mind ,its so bad to the point where i get sick sometimes and its been occurring for over a week now .i try to remind myself that this is temporary but im losing sleep over it and i sit feeling nauseous for the whole day

This is awesome. I need the program.

Thank you❤

This is really helpful ❤

The cog symbol tapped at 75 gives this a more laid back and measured tone , if you struggle with fast talking.

Thanks champion

I am leaving my fav house And moving to small house far from nature and animals and its scares me alot With zero money in my pocket with almost no hope to get a place like this Leaving my friends and environment I am jobless and all this will happen next month whenever these thoughts come in my mind that i am leaving this place I can’t sleep heart palpitation, always worry and thinking I was already suffering from ibs before
