6 Tips To Treat Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Once upon a time, anxiety was critical for keeping us alive. In today's world, though, it piggybacks on the kind of chronic, low-level threats that leave many in a state of constant anxiety.
People with generalized anxiety disorder feel continually tense and anxious over things that wouldn’t normally bother a person to that extent, and treating a client with generalized anxiety disorder can feel daunting for a therapist.
In this video I'll share with you some simple steps that I find useful when helping people with GAD. I talk about how the portrayal of general 'potential threats' in the news and other media can make us feel anxious (0:52), but if you would prefer to skip to the first tip then this begins at 3:24.

    What my therapist told me to think when I have anxiety. Okay so, think of anxiety as a lady that comes to your house (mind) and hits your door. Most of us we will not open because we are trying to fight those bad thoughts right? I am telling you, open the door. Let the lady come in, the lady in black I say, and be friendly with her. Drink coffer or tea make a scenario in your head. She will start telling you all of the bad things. Respond to her, I know. I fucking know, and it's okay. Make her understand that you don't care anymore. Make her afraid of you. Please try and never ever give up❤

I've been told to picture myself in a good place or try to have pleasant thoughts or meditate... jeez don't these dokcors understand that once you have a anxiety attack there is no way to put yourself in a better place 'cause one has enough trouble already to deal with the situation you are in already!! A tree and flowers on a meadow just don't do the trick that easily!!! For all those who think anxiety is they're own fault don't see it that way!!! I have the almost perfect life !! Great job , no money problems , no future worries no relationship troubles , no family drama yet still those attacks come !! thats why i am furious with doctors who seem to look down on you , thinking a little pill or long walks in the fresh air would help , like one is an idiot !

So, now that I'm 54 I have a finally found a therapist I like. The more l learn about my parents issues, not to judge, but to learn why im having issues. I also have ADHD - it can be genetic, and made, low on the autism and OCD. I'm told that BPD mothers really mess up their kids... Good luck, I wish you peace 🌷

If healers intend to heal instead of just keeping you coming back they would have a plan such as this man presents. Carefully crafted using all his knowledge of the issues, and indeed a wise knowledge imo. If we had more healers like this man the world would be a better place

    I had a SEVERE generalized anxiety disorder and can't believe how it went away. Now I have normal anxiety that's easy to shake off. At the peak of my GAD, there was absolutely nothing that would help. I got on medications, which helped to a certain extent. Then I added daily cardio. Then I started doing CBT on my own (all you need is a workbook, no need for an expensive therapist). Learn how to set boundaries, especially if there is a toxic relationship in your life. But to be perfectly honest, I think what cured my GAD is just letting time do it's wonders.

I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being. O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life. O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord." ~ Baha'i Faith Prayer in Part

    Went to seek for help and found out I am indeed diagnosed with anxiety disorder. It is truly depressing. To get your day ahead seems very stressful, waking up everyday is putting me into a lot of worries and stress. Even though some of my family members aware of my anxiety they don't seem to fully understand how it works. All I hear from them is 'you have to go to work', if only it was that easy. Even if I wanted to, if the anxiety comes and attack me right then there's nothing I can do about it. The hardest thing for me is to explain what I feel when I'm having this anxious feeling, even after explaining to them, no one actually understands.

GAD sounds like cptsd which I notice getting triggered but have no idea what interpretation my unconscious has made.

    Glad I found this video. You could be talking specifically about me! I'd figured out that my constant anxiety was a kind of pathological condition but I didn't know what to do about it other than get a prescription for anxiety medicine from my GP. Your analysis of the anatomy of GAD helped me gain many insights. Thank you very much for this video.

    Very helpful video. I have forwarded information to my therapist so she can watch it as well as some of the others. My GAD is complicated further by Major Depressive Disorder, Agoraphobia and a bunch of other fears. Due to hyponatremia in the past, I cannot take SSRIs or SNRIs, so all my meds are only partially effective. I agree with the prior comments about never thinking about emotional trauma in the past being relevant. My parents were very overprotective, I'm an only child, and they taught me to fear almost everything, and never untaught me as I got older, so my fears are still stuck in a child's mind in my head. Thank you for the insights you provide on the KZread channel.

    I have been suffering from GAD since 2001. I began addressing the problem in 2007. What I did was talk to my body and exposed myself to the irrational fears I had. Over the years my GAD symptoms have ameliorated greatly. I still suffer 24 hour a day whirlwind sensations and pins and needles on the plant of my feet. However, I no longer suffer from noises and images inside my head as I used to have at the height of the GAD in 2007. An irrational fear I had was blaming myself for tiny errors. For example if I dropped anything in front of other people I would immediately blush. I would then talk to my body as these tiny errors occurred and tell my body, "it's not your fault" then after a while when I made the same mistake I no longer would fear anxious.

I am not about to tell my life story on all the contributing factors, but my punch line is that I am still not working, mind is going everywhere. It feels like i cannot breathe 90% of the time but there is no way a shrink can physically change someones life(style). Such is life, its shit but its what we have.

    Hi Kate. I just wanted to say that I had a terrible problem with panic disorder/agoraphobia some years ago so I know something about the condition. I was fortunate enough to get CBT (congnitive behavioural therapy) . I'd just like to say it worked really well for me and I was back to normal in a few months. I recommend you read Aaron Beck - CBT, it'll give you a head start . Panic disorder is very curable. best wishes and good luck

CBT has definitely been apart of my therapy but it doesn't seem to be helping me as much as other say its helped them. I've also been diagnosed with PTSD so maybe that has something to with it. I will definitely look that book up. I appreciate it. Thanks again.

It doesn't help that my therapy sessions are very sporadic due to booking issues so it feels like a marathon just waiting for the day I can vent to my therapist and not my gaslighting parents.
