This is a great conversation. I love the level of expertise, but most of all i love the down to earth approach. ty so much for this interview!
This is my main struggle since a church split happened 11 years ago, and every time I think I am safe in a group or a job something happens to scare me again. Thanks for the info! I will look into this more.
Thank you for having me on!
My pleasure 😀
For me it’s very aspect of life. It’s been so difficult to manage it. I’ve become an alcoholic and gone through treatment. But it’s still something I’ve allowed to take over. I just wish this didn’t exist. My life would be perfect.
My 21 yr old daughter has struggled horribly with social anxiety for many yrs, which has led to massive depression. She literally has a panic attack at the mere thought of being in a social setting and having to speak. It breaks my heart because she has no friends and has never once spent the night out, etc. She used to cry because she said people thought she was 'weird'. Unfortunately, she began experimenting with drugs at 17 to help overcome her depression and now she's an addict that's been in/out of mental and rehab facilities. It absolutely kills me.
This was so helpful. I thought I was alone feeling this way
Amber, it's amazing how you always post the right video when I need it most! I was literally just discussing this with my bf the day before. ❤ So excited to meet you this weekend 😊 (- Anya)
This is the first time I heard about selective mutism, and I’ve been searching for over 10 years for someone to understand this!!!! This is exactly my son. Maybe now we can find some answers. Thank you for bringing this to light!
I'm so glad this was helpful. It's true, you rarely hear about selective mutism, but it's definitely a real thing.
I used to get terrible anxiety talking to my therapist about social anxiety. I’d actually have panic attacks during therapy. I honestly find the best method for dealing with social anxiety for me is to just quit focusing on it so much. My anxiety has lessened over time as I acknowledge it but quit trying so hard to cure it. I did struggle for years with addiction though. Opiates completely killed my social anxiety so I loved them until they quickly destroyed my life.
Hey, being a part of a music ensemble can help. I play instruments and sing. Being a part of a band or choir, but not in a spotlight... As a former music teacher, I've seen and felt the benefits of music, all ages...
Amber, maybe you could look into music brain science and share? It might help some more people.
Thank you so much for helping me understand alcoholism better!
Thank you both for this important conversation ❤
A family member spent 8 long years in prison . Teen years and early 20's. Now home 6 months and it's real hard. This person found a decent job and they love the hard work out in but it's away of doing other peoples work in order to not socialize. Stays in their room if not working and struggles opening up to anyone . Lots of depression , anxiety attacks and of course PTSD. Finally yesterday said they want to get a therapist but don't want to be medicated. Says they don't want this to be their life . I'm going to find that Theripist and pray it's the right one . I'd love to hear a video on young people just out of incarnation. Or know of local groups that get it . Any help plz
Hi Kelly. Did you see the Live video from last week, about Accelerated Resolution Therapy? If your loved one has trauma, this might be a helpful option. czcams.com/users/liveCYG5vQQ9K7g?feature=share
I have social anxiety But No Such Addiction Problem
Connection is the cure for addiction. 🤔 #cepv #IMustWin
