Loved this. I battle from depression , anxiety & C- PTSD, I've heard were more open to natural medicines over big shrooms cured depression . Wish doctors pharma but we know why

Love Miss Mel Robbins, but I do have some quibbles here with some things Dr. Kennedy is saying (and nothing personal-no nasty grams here). Around 57:40, Dr Kennedy says "No one is coming to save you." I think so much of people's anxiety (and mine at one time) is that we think we're on our own and it's all on us to fix ourselves, or we hang our hopes on a therapist, family member, etc. I do agree that there is a truly a vital part we play, but when I began to heal from anxieties in my life was when I began to understand that I wasn't alone: that Jesus was with me through EVERYTHING and He can heal the stuff that I never could solve when I invite Him in to do it. I also realized that He loved me unconditionally. I could never screw up too much that He wouldn't love me anymore. I didn't have to perform. THAT is a very secure place to be. He's also a confidant that I can go to with anything and everything. I wear family or friends out with my crap because they have their crap too and we're all finite people. But I can go to Him at any moment, day or night. He is there. Always. Listening. Ready. He knows my history. He knows the stuff I can't see in my blind spots about myself or things I can't see about a situation. And He knows exactly how to bring me into a place of wholeness. In this life, we are going to struggle with thoughts that try to kick our knees. But when those thoughts come, I have learned can say what God says about me instead (not mantras, but truth!). I can remind myself that He calls me beloved. I don't know how to describe that to someone who doesn't know Jesus, but He will heal you with His love, His wisdom, His power. He cares about YOU. He loves YOU. It was in this journey of learning to trust His love for me that I'm finding freedom like I've never had. I feel comfortable being me. I don't have to be like anyone else, not my mom or anyone. I'm an individual that God made to be me and He loves me: my personality, my gifts, what I look like, the sound of my voice (which I always disliked). He just loves me and loves being with me. And He helps me with every situation. I make mistakes at times like we all do, but I am learning and He isn't bashing me for my mistakes. He can empower me to do what I cannot do on my own. He is truly my supply. He is my Savior. And I am NOT alone, ever. Jesus did come to save me and He came to save you. He doesn't want us to be hurting. There's a lady named Nichole Marbach that I love to listen to because she found what I did in Jesus, and she was healed from PTSD, anxiety, bi-polar, etc. God's love for us heals. I can't explain that, but it just does. We were made for that love! If you'd like to listen to Nichole's weekly broadcast on KZread: you can find her here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaSTtKScitiqeNI.html If you're thinking I'm a religious nut, that's okay. But you can ask Jesus to make Himself real to you. Invite Him to introduce Himself to you. He's the most precious thing in my life and I want to share what I have with you. I don't consider this "religion" but relationship with Him! God bless each of you as you heal!

02:12 🧠 Anxiety begins as a physiological response in the body's amygdala, often referred to as the fear center of the brain. It triggers a series of physical reactions. 03:11 🗣️ Anxiety is often expressed in various ways, such as heightened vigilance, panic attacks, shortness of breath, frustration, anger, or withdrawal. 03:39 🤔 Recognizing anxiety as an alarm system in the body shifts the focus from just thoughts to the physical sensations, allowing for a more holistic approach to healing. 05:15 🔄 The anxiety-alarm cycle perpetuates when the mind creates a stream of worries in response to the initial physical alarm, resulting in a loop of escalating anxiety. 06:22 💡 Understanding anxiety as a form of separation anxiety reveals that it stems from a feeling of disconnection or separation, often from oneself or loved ones. This is a universal source of anxiety. 08:09 🔄 Separation anxiety, at its core, is a deep-rooted emotional issue that can be traced back to childhood. It manifests as an underlying sense of unease and fear. 09:51 🔍 Society tends to prioritize verbal communication and intellectual pursuits, often neglecting the importance of understanding and connecting with one's own body and emotions. 12:13 💪 Healing anxiety requires a holistic "neck down" approach, focusing on the body and its physiological responses, rather than solely addressing thoughts and mindset. 13:56 🩹 Dr. Russ Kennedy, an expert in anxiety and neuroscience, emphasizes the potential for individuals to heal their anxiety by addressing it from a bodily perspective. 15:35 📚 The five-second rule, a brain hack developed by Mel Robbins, offers a practical tool for interrupting anxious thoughts and feelings, providing a way to take control of the anxiety-alarm cycle. 24:06 🚸 Separation from parents can be a root cause of anxiety. When we feel disconnected from our parents, it triggers an alarm in our system. 25:40 🧩 "Parental mismatch" can lead to a sense of separation. Feeling different or disconnected from a parent, even if there's love, can cause alarm in a child's system. 27:20 🌊 Locating the alarm in your body: When feeling anxious, focus on physical sensations. Close your eyes, breathe, and pinpoint where you feel the discomfort. 29:48 🛌 Fear of facing the alarm: It's common to resist feeling anxiety. Acknowledging and comforting your inner child can help alleviate the alarm. 34:38 🚴‍♂️ Riding the emotional "motorcycle": Confronting the alarm directly, like riding a motorcycle for the first time, is crucial for acclimatizing to anxiety. 37:19 🔄 Don't solve anxiety with more thinking: Overthinking exacerbates the issue. Focus on the physical sensation, rather than diving into a cycle of anxious thoughts. 42:43 🧠 Understanding the root cause: Anxiety stems from the alarm in our bodies, not just our thoughts. Addressing this is key to healing anxiety. 46:19 🧒 The speaker shares a personal story about their son Oakley, who faced challenges with dyslexia, ADHD, and bullying at school, leading to heightened anxiety. 47:15 🦕 Oakley's anxiety manifests physically as butterflies in his stomach, leading to panic attacks and a cycle of avoidance. 48:21 🤗 The key intervention needed for Oakley was physical reassurance, validation, and hugs to calm his alarm system. 50:31 🖐️ Practicing regulating the nervous system through physical touch, finding a safe place in the body (e.g., breath near nose or neutral body part), and returning to the alarm is essential. 53:33 🧠 Coping with anxiety involves using thinking strategies, while healing involves addressing the root cause-the inner child needing to be seen, heard, and loved. 55:13 🪢 Chronic anxiety often coexists with addiction as individuals seek substances or behaviors to mute the alarm and feel connection or relief. 56:51 🏀 Practicing self-regulation techniques is crucial for success in high-stakes situations; it involves finding a safe place in the body and building that regulation over time. 59:23 🧒 Healing involves connecting with the wounded inner child, providing the love and support they lacked, ultimately addressing the root cause of anxiety. 01:06:00 🤔 The conversation challenges the current terminology of "mental health," suggesting a shift towards understanding anxiety as originating in the body, not just the mind. 01:08 🚨 Dr. Russ Kennedy emphasizes the importance of regulating the body first to calm the mind, rather than attempting to calm the mind to regulate the body. 01:08:46 🧠 Activating the somatosensory cortex, responsible for movement and sensation, can help shift focus from rumination in the mind to a sense of the body, aiding anxiety and focus. 01:09:25 💡 Anxiety often stems from a mind-body disconnect, with individuals avoiding confronting physical sensations in their body by staying in their thoughts. 01:09:53 🔄 Merely trying to fix anxious thoughts is insufficient, as anxiety is often rooted in an addiction to worrying. More emphasis on feeling, rather than thinking, is necessary for treatment. 01:10:19 🧒 All anxiety can be traced back to early experiences of separation, either from others or from oneself. This separation is at the core of anxiety. 01:10:31 🤝 In response to the alarm of anxiety, individuals often tend to further separate from themselves, exacerbating the issue. The key is to reconnect with oneself. 01:10:57 ❤️ When the alarm of anxiety goes off, it is actually a call for self-love and reassurance. Going into your body and soothing yourself is a powerful way to address anxiety. 01:11:37 🌟 A powerful affirmation to use when practicing the techniques is asking oneself, "Am I safe in this moment?" This anchors you in the present and provides a sense of safety. 01:12:20 🛑 Blocking love from oneself is often a root cause of anxiety. Recognizing and removing these blocks is crucial for healing. 01:13:17 🔄 Dr. Russ Kennedy uses intuitive methodsto identify blocks to self-love within a person's body, which, when removed, lead to a reduction in anxiety. 01:14:27 🔑 Addressing the root cause of anxiety through self-love and soothing is more effective than attempting to merely change thoughts. This approach provides profound healing.

So I don’t understand that when I do feel it my body reacts the same every time… in a panic! It’s a horrible cycle. I see now I’m an absolute addict to WORRY.

Anxiety is not in any way ONLY separation or Love based. Some people have base physical disorders that go undiagnosed for years and this spawns anxiety. Other people have trauma from events. I was a soldier and unfortunately I suffer from both of these issues. It's a very complex problem and different for everyone.

What they ment with this "Separation Anxiety" or "Love based" it's the very core of the Feeling, where it comes down to, but not denying the fact that the trigger of your Anxiety was that Trauma, disease or event, they're separating the trigger from the very origins of the feelings.

I really liked her video on the 54321 countdown trick. However this video created anxiety for me when I started listening to it. Anything that starts out with you can CURE your anxiety is a money making statement. It's like clickbait. And it got me. I have spent years feeling shame and guilt that I feel this way. That somehow I cannot fix it myself. I believe in tools. I believe in medicine. I believe in self-help. I do not believe all things in this world can be cured. That is self-love for me. Taking that shame and blame away from myself because I can't cure my anxiety. I can't look at my body and see where it's broken. Or why it broke. Not everything is separation anxiety. My family has been dealing with mental health for generations. I know that because of stories and suicide. If someone was born without an arm would you tell them they can cure themselves? Anxiety can be a spectrum. It's a symptom. It can come from many different things. If it comes from separation anxiety for you, then I'm glad you know and this video is for you. But any statements that are black and white are usually not helpful.

This is my first time EVER hearing a professional address that anxiety starts in the body first - which is what I've ALWAYS felt. When I'm anxious people always ask, "Well, did something happen? Did you have a thought? What were you thinking about?" And it's like, no, I was just putting on my socks and I suddenly felt the pang of panic in my stomach and throat, and THEN I thought in my mind, "Well, I'm starting to feel anxious, why? Am I gonna throw up? Oh god, I have to drive for the next 15 minutes and I can't escape that easily"...and so on until I'm having a full blown panic attack. These ideas have really opened up my mind, and I actually feel confident they will help me, and I've never felt that way before. I've had crippling anxiety since I was very tiny, and also grew up with a severely mentally ill father. Wow.

Anxiety is often caused from a separation of love (caused by ourselves or from others by a blocking from love). Anxiety is more of a alarm to heal your younger self. The anxiety is a feeling in the body being sent from your younger self. GIVE your younger self the attention and love it deserves. Hold the area in your body that is painful when experiencing anxiety/alarm and breathe into that painful area the energy of your full attention directed towards love, safety, and 100% acceptance.🙏 Regulate your body towards love, I am safe in this moment, gratitude, appreciation and acceptance and this helps to regulate the mind away from the pain of being blocked from love either by yourself or others in the past. Show your wounded younger self they are seen, heard and loved by you. Don't ignore anxiety it is up to us to heal and pay attention to these alarms that are showing up as blocks to love. We can remove and heal the blocks from love and Evolve and HEAL.💞

I am so sorry for your experiences, but please tell me things will get better. I take Zoloft, was counseled by a wonderful therapist, meditate, don't drink alcohol, exercised faithfully until the hip pain started, earned my Masters degree, have a great job with wonderful co-workers, and TRY to focus on a positive future and gratefulness. However, I feel so worthless and unwanted, which was not the person I was prior to 2017. I have one close friend, but have isolated myself from most of my family because they failed to support me during my divorce nor my ex husband's criminal trial. Where do I go from here?

i'm just tired of watching tons of videos like this , and not being able to end my anxiety disorder

MEL!!! THIS!!!! Thank you. You and this podcast is THE FIRST time I have ever, in my entire life, felt like someone understands me without me having to TRY explaining. I don't feel so alone anymore knowing I'm not "the only one" that feels nearly 100% what you've spoken about.

Listening to this helped me pinpoint the first time I ever felt anxiety. My family always said prayers together when I was growing up one of my parents shamed me for my prayer because it did not resonate with how they viewed the situation our family was going thru.. The feeling I had at that moment followed me throughout my 30 years of life when public speaking ( which is such a big part of life) Somehow the anxiety that I often feel going to work is subsiding. I still have a long way to go but I'm so grateful for the breakthrough. I've only made it halfway through the video so I'm excited to see what else gets uncovered.

I love this video. It helps a lot in certain areas of my anxiety but my biggest anxiety begins whenever I am feeling trapped as in heavy traffic, an assembly in an auditorium, church, or a live play, whenever it would be difficult to get up and leave and return to my seat as the trapped feelings cause me to feel like I have to tinkle and the longer I have to wait in this trapped situation the more I have to tinkle. I wish this topic could be discussed on your show. Thank you.

Something I've observed about my own anxiety has been this sensation of a water balloon of nervousness that is more or less always present. It's there first, and then I just start to fill it with things to be worried about afterwards and it grows and grows. It was reassuring to hear him talk about anxiety being the feeling first and the rationalization later.

Thank You Dr Kennedy & Mel for being so transparent & vulnerable about your own personal weaknesses & marital past (Dr. Kennedy). Your honesty levels the playing field for all of us who feel "not good enough" or "defective," at times. This has been helpful for me. Blessings to you both. 💙

Thank You! ❤ I had a terrible childhood, I’m almost 63. And this has helped me so much🙏🏻

This video has helped me so much and the being able to handle it on your own is great for me because I make an effort to have great connected relationships in my life but I should be reach out for constant reassurance.

OMG, this was so profound! Thank you both from the bottom of my heart and bless you both! I am blown away! Finally, I know where to begin in order to start healing... I am 50 years old too...better late than never! LOL I am truly amazed and grateful!

The thing that I took away from this podcast is that there are people that had it worse in life more than I did. I have known that the trauma in our childhood causes pain and until we get that healed we sabotage ourselves according to how we were traumatized, i.e.. if I took on the responsibility of my family's finances as a child through trauma, that will plague me until I get that trauma healed. Your honest way of explaining things and how you relate your trauma is healing those of us who listen to or watch your podcast. Thank you for being vulnerable and for all you do out of love for others.

This is so telling. Mel talks and talks and talks and talks …… and then talks some more which is such a demonstration of her anxiety ……. Poor guest, he didn’t have much air space in spite of the fact that he is the expert guest …… Mel Is having a full-blown anxiety attack …. And I was really hoping to hear a lot more from the doctor. 1:30 hrs of listening to Mel was different from what I was hoping - it gave me anxiety listening to her dominate the conversation when I was hoping to learn from the doctor. Thank you for the demonstration lesson, Mel. Bless your heart.

My mom and I have always been different and I’ve always struggled to be accepted and this really opened my eyes.

While watching this I didn't notice my tears keep falling from my eyes. Thanks for this.. God bless! I am suffering with anxiety, depression panic attacks and feeling too much fear that I don't wanna go out anymore.

Always putting others before myself in fear of losing their love. I have five children and my husband has an addiction and our finances are always at stake and a topic of fear for me. My mother was mentally unstable, anything would set her off. I don't remember her ever hugging me. I was beaten and slapped when I stuck up for myself, even as a teenager. There was a strap in the kitchen closet that was waiting to be used. Everything the doctor said was so spot on. You are both a gift sent to me during this painful time. All I want to do is hug you, so I'm sending you a virtual hug. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable about your life. It makes me feel I am not the only one who is struggling with anxiety.

Hi Mel - I was sitting on my front porch today listening to this episode. What started with a couple of tears rolling down my cheeks, ended with me ugly crying for hours. I’m in my 50’s and known I have generalised anxiety for many years now - using talk therapy and medication over time to help. In all honesty, it’s only been in the last couple of years I’ve come to understand how far back in my life the anxiety stems from. Your episode with Dr Kennedy has hit me like a tonne of bricks, hence the deluge of tears. What I kind of knew was always there, was presented to me today with so much clarity about the child I was and the adult I have been and now am. This conversation has been transformative for me and I thank you both so much🙏

WOW - this was huge for me. I was able to stop my anxiety feelings all day doing this. After all the years and all the things I tried nothing has worked so instantly as this. WOW.

This was good. I did get a little anxiety when Mel continued to interrupt his answers. I love her, but wish she would have allowed him to talk more. I will buy the book. 😂

Really helpful, thank you. When major anxiety strikes for me, it takes the form of FREEZE…I get paralyzed and can’t do anything including eat or sleep. I’ve thought of it as only being an issue when a big life event arises or when a lot of life demands occur at once. However, I’m aware that I’ve lived my entire life from a place of fear, which I now see as an expression of anxiety. For 35 years I’ve experienced chronic pain from fibromyalgia, which clearly is the result of that fear/anxiety not being resolved at its root…despite many years of study, bodywork, therapy, etc etc. I’m glad this topic is being talked about more widely now. The truth of our childhood is stored in our bodies, and must be addressed there if we are to be free. I’m pleased to know about Dr Kennedy and really appreciate what was shared in the podcast. I look forward to further conversations with him.

His is 100% correct about the Alarm. He was speaking to me. I found my anxiety alarm in my throat, a sensation that something is stuck inside when actually there isn't. I get frustrated, anger and then scaring thoughts in my head and suddenly I feel like am about to die and the urge to run outside. Found out its called globus sensation and I am getting help with it. Thank you so much .

I love how this all confirmed the pieces I have been healing my life with. Beautiful messages ❣️💖

I just LOVE how Mel stops (but never interrupts) the convo when big words come up. English is not my 1st language, so that helps me a lot!! Thank you Mel and Dr. Kennedy.

OMG I have only watched 2 episodes of Mel Robinson, and I love her! I have never had such good/ great emotional help and understanding what is going on with me every! Thank you for your podcast! I think after 56 years of life I’m getting a better mindset of why I beat myself up, also I thought I was the only one or no one would get it . And! I’ve been in therapy that have had therapist that didn’t know how to help me . Thank you so much! I’m your new #1 fan

Hi Mel 👋 I love your attitude towards life in general I can relate to this podcast I just moved house its just as stressful as losing a family member my anxiety has not been great but you know what I had to give my self the old pep talk and had to step back and just be grateful my brother took me in as I don't have my own house yet so I would of been homeless so I'm starting to be grateful for my family ❤️ you gotta step back and look for your happiness rather then your stress ❤

Thank you Mel your videos are so inspiring and helpful. I felt stuck but you’ve helped me out of the pit of dome and got me motivated. I can resonate with you so much. I’m 53.

Thank You so much for these videos. I get so much more from them than just the podcasts. It is generous of you to share the longer uncut version. I also appreciate the links to find and follow your guests. Not everyone does that.

Nine minutes in I was starting to cringe ! Thank you for talking about what you went through and sharing it with the world. Your words will be with me today. ❤

I woke up today feeling so anxious, and this was the first thing that popped up. I am so grateful. Thank you.

Life changing! So direct and simple and dives right into the true cause of anxiety. Love the two exercises at the end. 🥰

Mel and Dr Kennedy that you for this podcast. I just stepped out of a verbally abusive situation ship. I’ve done slot of self help work on my self in this area of getting myself into narcissistic relationships. I see why this was wrong but I’m trying to get down to the source of my behavior. The alarm thing really hot home. I was putting myself in a situation where someone was not treating me right and when it would happen my alarms went off. You feel so blind while in it. So I’m warning myself to get away because my inner child says look this is happening again I’m scared. Wow! My anxiety spills into some other aspects in my life but nothing like it does in relationships. Almost any kind of male relationship. Thank you for some clarity!!!

Mel thanks a lot for this podcast. For all the energy and love you give ourselves. This has been a revelation to me and I will practice it. Thanks! A million thanks!❤

Gosh, I am 67, I have nothing in my life that explains my generalized crippling anxiety for the last five years, but gosh, my relationship with my mom was strained, and for sure I felt separate from her. I am slowly climbing up. I had to taper from all the valium I was taking which was in and of itself a nightmare. Over that now, thank God, but still struggle with sudden body bouts of anxiety without known triggers. Great podcast, I need to listen to it again.

Hi Mel, greetings from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, land of Dragons. Massive high five and thanks for this podcast. I'm slowly using this and its really helping me. I have anxiety, comorbid with ADHD and ASD (plus Dyslexia and Dyspraxia). Your podcast is changing my life 💜💜💜. Regardless of if its comorbid with my Neuro D, PTSD or where ever the h*ll it came from you and the doctor have given me an amazing tool. 💜💜💜💜. Love ya and thanks for all your positivity 💐💐💐☕

It seems learning to really love yourself, is key for so many things in life. Excellent video.

A million thanks for this! I've been seeing therapists and reading and taking classes about anxiety for months, and this is an immediate life-changer for me, the first thing that's helped, and immediately helped dramatically!

Wow just listening to this I missed all the signs of my anxiety I have had my entire life and my alarms have changed over time to the viciousness it is now. Right now I haven’t slept in 2 weeks and lost 10lbs worring and not able to eat

Thank you, Mel, for having Dr. Kennedy on. I am going to apply these tools and hope they are useful. 😊 Mel, I really thought about what Dr. Kennedy said in regards to listening to one’s body and looking back in time and seeing if there is an episode that could be the cause of the anxiety. Well, what do you know! The times where I feel that physical vibe is exactly when I would be alone in my childhood. I found this quite amazing. And because I realized this, I have taken back control so this is big for me. Thank you Mel & Dr. Kennedy!😊

Wow ! It’s crazy how when I get anxiety I imagine Jesus hugging me but when he does I see him hugging the younger (child) version of myself ! This was just confirmation from everything going on in my life ! Thanks Mel and Russel ! God bless you both. 😊

Excellent. I read somewhere we should go back to our childhood and visualize this very thing, especially if you’re like me and don’t have family that loves you - and hence the cause of the anxiety.

@@calvinryon I hope you're really able to feel your Spiritual and energetic family's love for you.

I've been dealing with anxiety for 60 years. About 25-28 years ago, I got some help and it seemed to work fine. This last year, I have been through health issues, relaitionship problems. I watched two video's with Dr. Kennedy from last week, and this one. Been back to my therpaist. The tools in these videos are VERY helpful! With luck I can get back to work soon! THANK YOU!!!
