You have no idea how much grateful I am for you Russell. With your help I got to know the root cause of my anxiety that no one could explain before. I never thought I could heal my anxiety. But here I am living a normal life. All thanks to you❤

I just wanted to thank you. Your book and podcast are truly the only things that have ever led to real healing for my anxiety and ocd, and I recommend them all the time. Found this episode during a panic attack today and it helped so much.

Makes so much sense. My place is my stomach and chest. I have a lot of old unresolved wounds as a child. My adult mother who is 89 now has been a major trigger my whole life. My father gave me happiness and comfort. He died last year and i lost tgat support. Great podcasts. I have been sharing a lot with people in same position

I feel and relate to this from trauma in my 30s, not as a child. Now in my 50s, this explains a lot of what I’m going through now. Thank you.

Yes this is my case as well.

At this point it feels like my stomach tissue is just simply contracting into itself and as if I cant breath from my stomach area . . . weird as it may sound. I'm living daily for the past 7 years feeling like I'm dying everyday. My whole life has come to a dead halt. Friendships, finances, business opportunities . . .everything has completely collapsed. Everyday feels like I'm on borrowed time. To put it in my frustrated way . . .It's a living, tormenting , hell . . . whilst suicide is not an option due to my faith. 🤷‍♂🙇‍♂

I feel exactly the same. The ability to function just stops as your mind looks for the next thing to panic about about. I was having a good day until a pain in the back of knee and then my foot has sent me down the rabbit hole. Logic goes out of the window and you just cannot see a way through the anxiety. I had it at 9 years old and now its back with a vengence in my 50's. Its just misery

I’m so sorry you live with this…I do too. How we keep going I really don’t know, but we do. The frustration of why I can’t release this is literally sucking my life away. You are not alone 🫂

Same here. I'd die happily but I cannot due to my faith. I'm a Christian. Only God can deliver us.

Are things any better? Can you find someone to help you with this?

Each week, i can’t wait to hear your new podcast 🙏♥️thank you SO MUCH !

Beautiful. Thanks so much.

Could you explain the term ´metabolise´? Thanks

Thank you for all that you do to try and ease the suffering for so many of us, free of charge with your channel. I wish I could come and see you as have been battling with being in a fight or flight mode for, well I realise now, a very long time. My adrenal glands on high alert but am now taking a natural supplement for that and it has really helped. The daughter of a manic depressive (or Bipolar as it is now known). A complex issue of learnt patterns and trauma. Thank you, I am just about to sign up for your online course, sorry, experience.

wow

You have to be careful with this book it my turn your life upside down. Went you get out of your head and into your body. Anything you need is deep within your chest, like love for yourself and others

I don’t know where the alarm is in my body- how do I find it and how do I connect with my inner child?

First, a big thank you for this content, which is so supportive and helpful! Second, a question: how do you tell the difference between the memory of a wound that you need to process, and ruminating about a painful event from the past that caused a wound at the time? I recently realized that i ruminate a lot and have been consciously redirecting my thoughts to the present moment, to avoid reliving the painful memory. However, i don't want to abandon myself by blocking a memory that surfaces, and it's not clear to me how to tell those two very different instances apart. I can report that i've been feeling a lot more focused and present since i've been preventing rumination. I don't know if you already have a video about this subject, and if you do address it, i'd love it if you could point me in the right direction. Much appreciated!

I need a lot more than meditation and cold plunges

Do you tale patients. I saw you on mel robins youtube. I tried to listen to you but she made me anxious interrupting you

@@liam.4454 I think it means that when you feel the alarm, you are able to realize that all the thoughts that go along with it which make the alarm keep ringing are not accurate thoughts--they are just your brain trying to find reasons to make sense of the alarm that is going off. I find that when I'm able to say "that's my alarm going off", I stop getting caught up in all the thoughts that are triggering me.

I really didn’t like the idea of an inner child and sometimes I still “resent” it. It helped that you described it in another video or in your book as a “part”, I could connect to it more. I now realized that I don’t “like” it because I don’t want to feel what it feels. Thank for your work, Dr. Russ. Your book started off my healing journey.. 🫶😊

Hello I am confused as to why I relate to having an alarm in my body but I cannot relate my anxiety to “worry”. Thank you for any insight.
