explains in five level of difficulties
1. Find ppl who share your interests (you don't need to change yourself to fit in) 2. Put yourself out there (to the ppl that you'd like to spend time with) 3. Meet yourself where you're at (take manageable steps towards connecting with others and have self compassion) Thank you for these courses. I can see my life improving immediately. ❤
We are thrilled that you are finding the videos helpful!
So funny ❤🎉

please check scientific accuracy; otherwise, good idea..!
"Moreover, there is a significant connection between trauma, including adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and chronic health conditions. Common physical disorders and symptoms include somatic complaints; sleep disturbances; gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and dermatological disorders; urological problems; and substance use disorders." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK207191/ "Single and cumulative ACEs are significantly associated with reporting of chronic pain and pain-related disability as an adult." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38111090/
Something about animation that makes hard concepts easier to stomach. My inner child thanks you 😊
Happy to hear that!

We hope that you will find the series helpful, even though it is not OCD specific. Learning more about how our brains work is always a good thing! :)
Excellent video!
Glad you liked it!
Food sun water a feeling of belonging
We’ve been married for 17 years and had very few problems in our marriage. Sure, we’ve been tested, but it only has deepened our commitment. Then I got sick, and for two years my husband became the only provider, caregiver, and sole domestic engineer. So when I recently recovered, we started running into problems that were difficult to identify, and we became frustrated. Then a friend recommended a relationship therapy, (a marriage counselor). I’m so glad we opted to seek out early intervention. The discoveries have been so helpful and are some were surprising. I’m back and we’re better than ever!
It can be good to cross communication and conversational boundaries. Some people make their boundaries too much. If someone is on a mental health break but you know the perfect way to make them happy, then cross their communication boundary. It will only be longer if you let them recover on their own. You have a choice to make them happy faster. They could be uncomfortable at first, but at the end, they’ll be extremely happy and they could thank you. And there would be a longer period of happiness in their life. If someone feels sad, do what would be fast to make them happy. However, there are types of boundaries that are reasonable. If someone has a strong reason for their boundary, then their boundary was right for them to set.
Clothes too
Only if you’re fighting with the climate! Lots of cultures live with little or no clothing just saying
Cope and seethe
I love this channel, thank you !
Glad you enjoy it!
I don't think the romantic type of love is special. And I am started to think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other, while most platonic best friends remain friends until death. I think that having a platonic best friend is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse is. Having someone who's like a sibling to you is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse. Also, you are more likely to be much more closer to someone who's like a brother or sister to you than you would be with a romantic partner or spouse. People tend to fight with their partner or spouse a lot more than they do with a platonic best friend, and you never fight with your best friend the way you fight with your partner or spouse. Partners and spouses are just temporary. If you break up or divorce them, it's hard to go back to them. With your platonic best friend, you're going to make things work, because they are your best friend, they are your go to partner. It's always easier to make amends with them than it is with a romantic partner or spouse. Romantic relationships are pointless, while platonic relationships are not.
I love these videos! The production quality is great and the message is well presented, it's unbelievable this channel doesn't have at least 100k. Keep making vids guys :)
This was the final episode in Season 2. We are so glad that you are enjoying the videos! We are definitely open to making more seasons, but, as a non-profit, we need another grant to make that happen. Please help us spread the word about this channel to increase the likelihood that grantmakers will see the good work being done here!
Such an important topic for all people. So grateful this exists.
Very fruitful
Wonderful and needed Video! Shared everywhere ❤❤❤
Awesome! Thank you!
As someone who is taking the first step in the adulthood, this is very interesting and helpful! I want to watch more topics about preparation of adulthood like this! 😄
"You deserve to feel like you belong, no matter what". That hit me hard, I really have to search for my people, others won't understand me, I'm tired of explaining myself or pretending to be someone else.
Just to let you guys know i love these videos. You manage to condense all the things you need to learn and to take on into managable and short videos. And that is amazing. So suprsied you dont have millions of views but i hope you keep the videos coming regardless.
Thank you! A big, amazing team of therapists and people with lived experience in the foster care system is behind our content. They did a fantastic job in picking out the most important topics to cover and distilling down the best information. We are so glad that you are finding the videos helpful in your own journey.
You nailed it again, Great video!
Wow, thanks!
❤ thank you.
You are so welcome!
Love this! Most helpful.
Glad you think so!
I love how they communicated the importance of safety using the bubble imagery. Once again, I'm so proud to be a co-creator of the All Connected series.
Your work on this series is helping so many people! All of our contributors can be incredibly proud of what has been done here--thank you!
This made me realise I don’t have one right now :(
Excellent content!
Much appreciated!
so means the brain can have a plan
Thanks 🙏🏻 ❤
We're glad that you found this episode useful!
💖THANK YOU 💖💖
This is an underrated channel, it's the best. Please keep this amazing work ❤❤❤❤
Great advice. But I am someone who doesn't believe in using therapy are there other healthy ways to deal with trauma?
We are, obviously, big believers that therapy is an important tool in your "how to overcome trauma" toolbox. This entire series is meant to serve as a simplified guide to intergenerational and generational trauma recovery, and the knowledge shared builds upon itself from episode to episode--so be sure to start at Season 1, Episode 1 if you want to get the most benefit from this series! Not everyone has the means or time or current desire to see a therapist, and that's okay. (Though we hope you'll keep an open mind about the benefit of having a trauma-informed therapist help you on your recovery journey!)This series aims to break down the barriers of cost and time and make trauma-informed therapeutic tips as accessible as possible. You'll find lots of great tips throughout the series on healthy ways to deal with trauma!
it is good that you are willing to come out of your trauma... But just to your knowledge, try to think like they are counsellors and not therapists and they don't do any harm , so you can be very free with them. This idea may change your perspective thanks..🤙👍
Underrated channel. This helped me so much and I am age 20 haha, great stuff.
Everyone is welcome here at any age and stage of life! And, actually you're within the target demographic for this series, so we're extra glad that you found your way here. We hope that you'll find all of the videos helpful!
I really like what you're doing. And I think it changes the world for the better.
Im in my 40s and, naturally, I had to do the hard work of reading explanations for the explinations in libraries long before the internet. I am so elated for the young (and older) generation for the accessibility of these convenient straightforward animated therapy shorts. There are quite a few out there, but i must say, your channel is the most quick, lite, simple, straightforward, and easily understood, especially for the fast young minds of today. Excellent videos, animation,channel, etc. Please keep up the great work👍🙏 And thank you.

Its a good video, but what if there is a person who dont know himself to set boundaries. Like he dont know me space atall. How to help such person.
Hi I experienced this today u should support them and stand by them when they say no so they feel more confident also explain to that person that it is alright for them to set boundaries ❤❤❤
