“If I had a nickel for every time someone told me to relax I could afford to be rolling in Valium 24/7”

If that sounds like you, I cautiously empathize with your situation and I’m here to help.

I’m going through my CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) homework book one session at a time here on Youtube.

I know it’s hard just to get on that waiting list to be on a waiting list for treatment, so follow along for free without making any phone calls, crying your way through multiple doctor’s visits, or sitting in the office of a man who owns and displays a choose your own adventure book called “Doctor Woman.”

In this video, I cover:

– CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) Session 3, which is session 4 for me, but I think it’s Session 3, you know
– Paired Muscle Relaxation
– Distress Tolerance Handout 6b
– “relaxing”
– Shaking your head from side to side
– Foggy brain
– Being chill with physical sensations
– Placing your head between your legs
– Running on the spot
– Complete Body Muscle Tension
– Hyperventilation
– Breathing through a straw
– Staring at a light and why not to
– Hot stuffy rooms
– Staring at your hand or a spot on the wall
– Sensations
– Crying is a sensation
– Crying is not a behavior
– Intensity
– Fear
– Clonazepam
– Citalopram
– Normal days
– Staying functional
– Frozen peas
– “Don’t be hard on yourself”
– Spinning in a chair is not covered in this video

If nothing else hopefully you can learn from my commitment issues and misplaced resentment of authority.

I’ll be back next week, so remember to like, comment, and subscribe! ♡

If you need help, just try breathing.

I can’t refer an online crisis chat site because they all seem kind of sketch sorry.
