Journaling is so helpful. I’ve been able to see how unhealthy my thought process is, by actually reading them. Thank you for the reminder. I tend to forget about this. God please bless and heal everyone here!!❤

Why am i so obsessed with control? It doesn't matter what it is, i just can't bring myself to cross off anything on this list...

You’ll get there ! Hope everything is going ok for you ❤

Hi there, hope you’ll see my comment one day. I’ve been so invested in psychology, self development and neuro science for a few years now. Of course, all the professors were pretty good (actually great). But when I found you, I just felt like I found my second home. I felt safe. It felt personal. Thank you.

Thank you!!! I struggle everyday with my anxiety, and out of control thoughts. Usually bedtime is the worst. I started keeping paper by my bed, and writing down my thoughts is helping! I need to be more consistent, but it is helping!!!! Thank you so much. Your videos are really helping me.

I am very much like you, i always think if there was someone close to me, like a close friend, I would not feel this way, everyday. what about you?

1. brain dump - write everything on paper 2. cross out everything that you've written that is not in your control 3. replace everything that is in your control 4. circle one of those action that you can control and do that.

Thank you, Emma. This felt like exactly what I needed right now! I was literally in the process of giving up. In addition, just thinking of you or seeing your face, or hearing your voice somehow always calms me. It’s like having a mature, rational, dependable big sister or close friend. And you always make me feel like there is kindness and goodness in the world.

Have anxiety EVERY day, am also agorophobic, I journal every day, Thanks for this, Very helpful🙂

I've been trying to bring myself back into heart and brain coherence and do deep breathing exercises, breathing in love and pushing out all the negative energy.

Definitely, nighttime is the worst but I try to write down my thoughts & worries during the day so I'm not up at night. Brain dumps are super helpful!

@@bunniewood I am in alot better space, one because of therapy and also it's been public holiday in my country and I just gave up every single responsibility I had and just focused on feeding and sleeping. The simplicity of things cleared a lot of space for me, made me realise while observing a cat that it loves its life and live to its best with what it has and doesn't feel weighted by mistakes. I think I will try and adopt this, I hope you too and I hope you feel a lot better soon❤️

I started watching your videos during the beginning of the pandemic when I was dealing with an avalanche of problems that I had been avoiding my whole life, and I was honestly not sure if I was going to make it. It has been 3 years, and I can finally look at myself in the mirror and tell that guy that I love him for every piece of who he is- finally realizing that I am already the person I wished I would be all those years ago, my own hero. Thank you for your work, and I wish you peace ❤

Hey Emma, this technique can sometimes work, but sometimes it makes me stressed again or more to think of everything and see it all in a huge list.

@DaniqueEmiliaSteinfeld - I don't know whether you'll see this bc you commented a while ago, but JIC it helps someone: what I've found useful is recognizing that *all of those things are hanging over my head -- consciously or subconsciously -- whether I've written them down or not* so, yes, it's terrifying to see them all there on a page (lol who are we kidding, a couple pages), but they're THERE anyway. and at least now they're all written down where I can see them, and I can start to put them in some kind of order, or even mark some of them off as I get them done. it's like being afraid to go to the doctor bc you don't know what's wrong that's causing you to not feel good. it's scary to confront a diagnosis, but once you do, you might be able to start doing something about it ... and eventually start to feel better. hope things are going better for you these days!!

Thanks for the reminder. I always forget about brain dumping and sometimes it’s hard to look at a blank piece of paper.

This also has been a Godsend for me to help my son with severe adult ADHD in his university studies. It calmed him down when he was overwhelmed.

when you don't have enough information on anything just observe just sit back and watch usually when such situations happen and I don't have enough information I end up catastrophizing because I want to think things through but now I have made a rule if thinking something through make me uneasy and catastrophized I don't have enough information and I should just watch

my BetterHelp therapist demanded I told her the method I used in an attempted suicide after I told her I was uncomfortable talking about it at that moment. I had only been assigned to her a few hours prior and she was already disrespecting my boundary. She said she needed to know in order to understand why I did it. It made me wish the attempt was successful.

To be true, you saved my day once recently, did some of your logical and kind techniques and boom, was there again. Thanks

Thank you for all of the great content & also for doing these short videos. So often when I'm overwhelmed, as much as I know watching a self-help video, learning a new technique... will help, it's just more than I can handle.

Thank you for reminding how powerful journaling is! Not only does it clarify your thoughts and feelings, but also it allows your experience to become fully integrated within your mind. Writing engages both hemispheres of your brain in the process, which helps you fully explore and release the emotions involved.

Thanks Emma, God bless you ❤

This is great! Taking the out-of-control things and identifying what we CAN do is such a great tool.

I want to say thanks from core of my heart

Thank you so much Emma for all the thought, effort, and care you put into these videos. They are a great resource that helps me often when I need i reminder of how to escape spiraling thoughts. Practicing the techniques and ideas you share has really helped me improve the health of my thinking patterns over time 😄

Thank you Emma, I found you on Spotify and now seeing you on KZread is even more nurturing. You really have found your niche in life…. I know you have been very helpful for me

I love all of your videos. You have helped me get my Anxiety and panic attacks under control, and manageable in the daytime, and I am doing fairly well. My question....what to do about night mare panic attacks? Yes that's right, I get panic attacks during my nightmares/ night terrors. I usually don't remember my nightmares but for some reason, probably because of the panic attack I remember last nights. I dreamed that I was walking my dog in the backyard...I live on a lake...and an alligator jumped out and grabbed my dog, I was helpless and had a panic attack. What a crappy way to wake up. Context=recently in the news there was a woman walking her dog near the water and attacked her and her dog, not far from where I live.

I do keep a journal and it's very helpful📗🖊

Hi Emma. I appreciate your channel.

Thank you so much. I have adhd and I've felt overwhelmed with my place and all the things I had to do and the cleaning that i became overwhelmed. I felt all of the things you've said and everytime I tried to get back into the game I would freeze up all over again and became overwhelmed, but writing things down and a list sounds like something that could help me. Thank you 🙏

Hi Emma! I love the courage you have had to put your voice out into the world to help others! Thank you!

Needed this today!!!!

Love the content Emma, is always relieving to see an upload from yours :)

This brain dump wasn’t too helpful right now as everything I wrote down IS in my control and reminded me that I have lots to do. 😭 I didn’t cross out one thing. And the things I have to do have competing priority and/or deadlines. It’s easier at the moment to procrastinate than to tackle the task but then I know it ends up being more work or stressful. My work life is what’s overwhelming. Thankfully, home life is not as stressful; busy with lots to do but not as stressful and definitely more rewarding. Maybe I just need to switch my jobs. I guess this exercise was helpful as it led me to this conclusion. 😁

A lot of us can't slow down because the bosses and managers won't let us slow down. They're always on and pressuring us to do more than we can. The problem is management pushing us. They don't care about our boundaries and it's insensitive and inhumane.

appreciate your calm energy in this video! thanks for posting 😅👍

Thank you Emma!!❤

Thanks a lot Emma. This is so helpful

Thank you Emma ! I like your Chanel very helpful ❤

Thank you 😊

I'm so devastated right now

This is Amazing,sounds so practical thank you so much 👍

Omg I love you so much right now! THANK YOU! ❤❤❤ What you described feels like the missing piece of a puzzle. I've been journaling for nearly 30 years and find it immensely helpful when dealing with overwhelm. That overwhelm can be from anxiety but more often than not it's just that I have to many ideas and things that need to be done or or I want to have happen. Often times, just the brain dump is what's needed to relieve the pressure of just thinking too much on things that are disparate and need their own time and space. Although hopefully not at the same time as is often the case. Besides dealing with emotional overwhelm, I can see myself usng this technique and asking myself what can I do now, tomorrow, next week, etc. It's often a challenge to stay present and I can see this as a wonderful way to focus on the things I can control, today. ❤

Wow! That was so helpful. It amazed me how quickly I felt relief. Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your videos today. I was feeling upset, disheartened, unloved and overwhelmed. You helped me see that I can’t help whether people like me or not or how they respond to me but that all I need to do is what I think is right by my conscience. I’ve been holding these emotions in for a couple days. Instead of everything piling up on each other I can swipe the ones I can’t change off the table and tackle the one that I can. I also really like your video about self deception. It helped me rethink my behavior to not let how others treat me affect my values and how I treat others. I’ve been in bed all day, avoiding life but I feel revitalized and ready to face the day. Thank you again!

Thank you for this video ❤❤❤❤

Omg that was powerful. Your videos were always helpful to me. I really love your videos. Watching you talk calms me down and gives me a feeling of someone’s there❤. Please continue your great work 🎉

Perfect KZread video they suggested me cuz I’ve been recently struggling with being overwhelmed

Great video. Thank you.

So helpful thank you

I really like this slow pace thinking, I come across many video but none said “take a deep breathe or take it slow”. I’ve been in this one stage of my life where I feel so overwhelmed, and feel like I have to be responsible for many things. Because of this, I haven’t been able to do anything properly especially my academic performance. I really like the way you advise to take things slow, I really need this.

Thank you.
