You are definitely going to succeed! I’m in my mid 60s and have seen many successful businesses and you have the total skill set to make this work. Don’t let your worries take away your joy as you go forward. We all believe in you. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m only a few minutes in so far, but oh Scott… you HAVE started a Therapy practice before! You are in session with MANY patients right NOW! And your business is already succeeding… You’ve got this, Doc❤
Scott, you have helped me so much. Your candid videos like this have helped me to see that I really am not "the only one", that I am not wildly abnormal and alien and beyond help or hope, as I so often feel. If I lived anywhere near your new practice I'd be waiting on the doorstep on Day One. You're gonna do great ❤
DUDE, DUDE! You're not going to fail! I'm so proud of you(and I don't really know you)! There's a reason you've gotten so many subscribers so fast! You really resonate with people! You are so open and honest. Even my 12 yr old can understand what you're talking about! Stepping out in faith like this is huge! The rewards are right around the corner!
The risk of regret is worse then the risk of failure. You are a very authentic soul. I have no doubt all will work out for the best. Any failure is only a lesson you can use for wisdom, that's not failure, that's courage. THANK YOU for sharing.
I'm a new subscriber. I'm impressed with your transparency. Tbh, I'd be concerned if you didn't experience some anxiety. It was helpful to see you work through your thought process. Laying all of your anxiety's cards on the table, and then dealing with them one by one was something I've never done, and am going to try. You've developed a strategy to use which is helpful. I'll be checking out some of you're earlier videos. 🌹🌹🌹
Owning your own businesses has its advantages and disadvantages. Keep at the top of your mind why you chose this route (the advantages you'll receive) and nothing will stop you, anxious moments or not. You’ve got this!
I think "Why you shut down" and "4 strategies against S.I." were the first ones. To think youve been already building a new practice for the first time and establishing your first ever "real world" business is just baffeling to me. Thank you for sticking with us and still uploading regularly❤ I found your internal monologue verbalized very helpful. Hearing you work through it, dismantle it or maybe see the truth in it but also the exaggeration feels calming. Thank you so so much!
Passive aggressive Suicidal idealozation, hope I got close to the right spelling, had never , ever occurred to me. But I been doing it for years, that alone is a hell of a breakthrough. Thank you Dr. Scott
You are amazing and the most solid individual to help the rest of us cope. I have never heard anyone like you before. You are a gift and you will succeed. ❤️
You will be very successful Dr. Scott, I wish you all that is good. I am a 72 year old retired Paralegal and I have gone to therapy many times. With every video of yours I see, I wish you were my therapist. Your down to earth manner is commendable. Go for it and don't look back. Thank you for being you.
Dr. Scott, your videos have really helped me after years of struggling with anxiety and depression after my divorce. Other respurces have been helpful, but your videos have definitely had some of the greatest impact in my recovery and growth. I believe you have a God-given gift to help people. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations. Dr Scott. New beginnings are always laced with doubt and trepidation. You broke down the fears with logic. However, it still takes self discipline. I believe you’ll be successful. Cheers.
I am crying at how authentic and brave you are and how I mirror so much of myself in your view of the world. You give us this precious gift when the others only care about luring one into courses and paid stuff. You are saving brains and souls on the way.
Wow, Dr. Scott. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. It was helpful to see how you let all the anxiety come out, then counter. I could really see you calming down as you worked through the process. I am gonna try that too - letting anxiety have the floor fully before countering. I get so worn out combating thoughts because it's one wave crashing after another and constantly pulling me down so I can't breathe... but letting all the waves wash over me and then fighting back up to the surface may be more efficient. Hmm. To your question of impromptu vids, you do you. I'm a fan of well thought out content like your usual material, but spontaneous raw advice is helpful from time to time. If you feel moved by something and want to share, by all means. We're hear to listen and support you too. 😊
Your videos speak to me and have weight because you've been where I am. This type of video is very helpful, since it allows me to see you use the concepts you teach.
I like the idea of making the anxiety "speak" first. It is like a courtroom. Perhaps I can think of my decisions that cause anxiety in this way. You reminded me of my ex-husband, who started his own medical practice 12 years ago. I can relate to everything you mentioned. The one thing that always stuck with him was something a speaker at his graduation ceremony said. I don't know where it comes from, but regarding your own clinic, she said, "If you build it, they will come." So, you know you're competent. It's just a matter of getting those patients to walk through the door. Your field is highly in demand, so I'm sure those factors will make you successful. Just make sure you have a good bookkeeper. Lol. All the best, Dr. Scott.🙂
His practice will be full in no time, and he'll have a waiting list behind his full client list. I'm sure of it. People are wishing he can be their therapist from comments all the time.
@tamcon72 Thanks for correcting me. I never liked that film lol. But should have remembered. I find bad anxiety causes some memory loss, which is frustrating. x
I so appreciate- so appreciate you sharing. I’m completely rooting for you, and I’ve purchased both the audio version and a hard copy of your book. The work you’re doing is so needed and so helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻.
I think another way to help deal with the anxiety is to look at what happens in your mind if you don't do it. Could you live with the regret of not following a thing that is obviously beckoning to you?
anxiety will look for the worst plausible situation, that's the most accurate thing ever!! It doesn't go wild but it does say things that you logically could see yourself doing or happening to you
It’s helpful when during anxiety period you can pin point situations that contradict your thoughts For some of us it takes other people to help with it
You are a brilliant therapist. I have been to 3 therapists in my 71 years and you have helped me with my depression issues better than anyone, and they were excellent. Don’t forget to breathe. I know you will succeed and our World will be better for it. Thanks for all that you do.
You will do just fine. One day at a time. Challenges will come you know that , but solutions will come also . You are so good at what you to. May you succeed in what you want to do in helping so many.
This is seriously such a good method and without this video I never would have thought to use it like that. With me so far it was just listening to the anxiety talking over and over and over again in my head without any rebuttal. Such a comprehensive and easy to understand tutorial, it's really what it is, thank you so much. This is my 3rd time watching so I can get used to this method.
Praying for yall. Thank you for sharing this, it's not easy to step out away from a steady job and I'm sure we all appreciate you showing us your thought process used to work through it.
All the best to you. My businesses failed during Covid and I went bankrupt at an older age. In the process, I lost absolutely everything. My mental and physical health declined as well. It gets much worse that this actually. However, you have a fairly large YT channel to lean on. In my eyes, you're in good shape. I'm slowly pulling myself out of my nightmare and appreciate your vides for support.
It REALLY helped to see how your mental conversation go as you go through moment of anxiety as it is hitting you. Since we can't see other people's mind, it was a very rare opportunity to see how you, someone who is managing a life with anxiety and stuff (as I have been for decades, still struggling quite unsuccessfully at age 50), walk through a moment of anxiety to calm it down. I hope you will do more of this with other symptom such as insecurity, social anxiety, etc. Thank you so much for this clip.
Thank you for using your issue to show how to work through the anxiety. It’s helping me! This is a great way that I, with my ADHD and MS brain, to understand better 😊
I started my business 25 years ago. There has been highs and lows of course and right now I’m in the lowest point ever but one thing I know is I’ll never go back no matter how many times I have to reinvent myself. Good luck and please take a couple of weeks off, you might never have the time again. Best of luck and thanks for your infinite support.
You have given an example of what I learned from Dr Aldo Pucci as "thought court." I recently got your book and I just read the first chapter. It's really pretty mind-blowing to me to get that much empathy from a book. Thanks. You deserve to have confidence.
Dr Scott, on top of the anxiety of opening your new practice, you also need to say goodbye to all of your colleagues and coworkers which in itself is hard to do. I wish you well in your new practice. Your genuine videos have helped many, including me.
you are clearly passionate about your work and I think that will take you far. I’m rooting and praying for you, I appreciate yo ur down to earth straight to the point black and white advice. It truly grounds my anxiety. It helps me find the root cause and find easy simplified ways to assist myself through my emotions. What you’re doing is so important- if you take online patients outside of your state please post it
Being Self- Employed is very Bold move from being employee. You are very brave sir and thank you for your kindness by sharing your wisdom in Social media.
Dr. Scott - glean from your success the last 7 years. Glean from your personal Victories. Glean from the knowledge & insight you have learned from your Day 1 life change. So many need you, so many will pay you, in the many arenas you mentioned. I believe God has many open doors for you. Since God is for you, who can be against you. Thank you for this channel. With love from this 62 yr old wife, mother & grandmother. You've helped me, & the best is yet to come. Your pain has now shown it's purpose. 🙏♥️
Correct. I had a mouse problem for the last several days. Things like this used to set off incredible anxiety/depression. Seeing more droppings this morning, I knew I could not handle this by myself. I called a good source for his contact with a good exterminator. No falling apart. No dragging in my 'history.' I feel empowered. I feel that my efforts to heal are paying off.
You got this Dr.Scott....congratulations 🎉 to you! You do such an incredible job at helping other's that its impossible not to win with the changes your making♡. Best of luck( :
Having started a business myself many years ago, I can tell you that it’s quite obvious you will succeed 🙂. This type of video is definitely helpful, very interesting to see how you cope with your own issues as they appear.
RESONATED! Sorry for the ALL CAPS! Your words give me and many of us a huge dose of kind, compassionate side of reality towards ourselves, that we dismiss, overlook so easily and freeze up about taking healthy risks. I remember the day I drove off from my workplace of 15+ years and feeling like I was out of prison. It was a sudden move for me and had not yet planned what to do. It's been over 20 years now since that day and I think subconsciously, I had hidden strength on my innate skills, like art, illustrations and love for animals. I wish you all the very best in your journey and each day brings new beginnings regardless of how the previous day was like! I am so happy for you!!!
The one thing I’ve learned about my mind, thoughts and feelings is that I can’t trust them. They often lie. So I tell myself to make decisions based on goals and intentions-not feelings.
I am self employed 18 years...(landscaper)with a shit ton of anxiety to help things along 😉like a roller coaster ride..i have failed and fail all time and i refuse to give up..i have caused my family hardship due to my stubbornness..i am soley responsible and its scary....everyday i get butterflies still...i do not know what i would do without it..IT IS MY PURPOSE ❤you rock thankyou❤🙏💪
Dr. Scott, straight to the point, absolutely it was beneficial. To actually see the tools put into action is immensely helpful to me. I would never have thought to do this. If I'm being honest, and I am, I would have run to the medicine cabinet and gotten a Valium or gotten one out of the pillbox I carry in my pocket. To see and hear it done step by step is the best way for me to learn. Hopefully, the next time anxiety rears its ugly head, which will be some time tomorrow, I will be able to do what you have just shown me to do. This is great stuff. Please keep doing this type of video. I firmly believe that an incredible number of people will benefit just like I have. You are so needed in my world and many, many others. That you can take to the bank. Thank you so much for what you are doing!! 🤗 xoxo
Go you! I went through this 16 years ago when I left my stable job to change careers AND start my own business the year before the 2008 recession! I has been terrifying at times, but my previous job was soul killing! I have had ups and downs, but it was the best thing I ever did, and I am grateful I won the debate with my scared self.
Just do it, in time, you'll thank your younger self. You're a particularly competent person. You're anxious about it because you care, if you weren't anxious, that would be a cause for concerns. You're on the correct path. Keep moving forward. Thank you for all your CZcams content.
Yes. Very helpful Dr Scott. Isn't is strange that whenever we(I) are(am) in need of something specific in recovery that something is usually provided by something greater then ourselves. This video was that for me. Thank you. You're gonna do great Dr Scott. The universe is conspiring to do you/us outstandingly.
I like it when people actually show how these things work hands-on instead of talking about it as abstract concepts. It's helpful and better understandable what you're supposed to do (and at least partial proof that it actually works). Also I'm excited for you and I've realized that's why it could help to have an outsider's perspective, maybe someone with a vision. Because based on just the fraction I've seen you do on here so far, I can see your huge potential. You can create your own space that you think will be beneficial to your patients. I also admire your courage (before I even heard all your family's background hinging on this) for making this step. I'm excited to hear updates on how this goes for you.
If you wanted to add a Buy Me A Coffee, we would go for it!!! Your presentations are FAR more valuable than the in-person counselors I have paid in the past.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience. I totally understand you at this point. I'm afraid of losing my job all the time and at the same time I don't wanna do it anymore but I need to pay rent.
First of all…Congratulations!! From the short time that I’ve been following you on CZcams, I’ve learned so much from your channel. I’ve heard some of it before, but the way you explain and present information has helped me FINALLY understand these complex concepts. For months my therapist has been working with me to “fact check” my anxiety to me. But now I get it! Thank you, Dr. Scott. Sending you many calming and positive wishes your way.
I did this exact thing two years ago. I left my cushy therapist job of almost ten years with the 401k and health insurance and paid time off and left it for my own private practice. It was scary as hell. I'm a single mom of an 11 year old with only my income. I'm coming out the other side and am much happier. Despite my fear and anxiety I'm happier being my own boss.
Thank you for sharing your live and uncensored work through of your anxiety. I believe you reap what you sow, and you seem to be hitting all the right points. I wish you the huge success you deserve. I am a mom to a 15yo anxiety/depressive girl. She has a little PTSD from last holiday season where she went into an anxiety spiral due to forgetting to take her meds. This video was KEY to helping her get out of that spin in order to make this holiday season different than last year. Because this year is no where near the same as last year with family and friends. I was able to pull up this video and another one around this time that hit home to her and she will use these tools.
As someone who is also in the throes of running a new business while dealing with anxiety, I appreciate this video and the authenticity! I can relate and it's helped me re-frame a few things that the anxiety was making me dwell on. Thank you for this!
I didn’t know you until I saw your video on freezing up but it rang true and said this guy understands and you helped me. Now let me help you, I’m 58 but when I had a small family of 4 I did exactly what you did. It was scary but it also motivated me and everyday afterwards I had the same fear as I looked in the mirror every morning but made peace with it for the day and succeded. Fast forward to 50 and a life changing event caused me to be my wife’s FT caregiver. I learned something I wish I knew back when I was your age and that is how precious life is and how little money means in the whole scope of things, now the kids are on their own and I finally get it… life is funny and God must have a real sense of humor. Just remember to know you’re going to make it no matter what everything will work out but more importantly enjoy your life now, take time with your wife and kids now, the money will always be there. Good luck and enjoy!
Had my own business for 27 years . Been able to make an income. Worst part was paying for health in. Also made money through ad sence. So many people are making a ton of money through this avenue. Probably could support ur family easily. Infact many make so much money, they live in very upper class style. It's amazing. A ba in psychology and graduate work. I know people would be using u as a therapist in a heart beat. Ur well spoken and clear. Easy too understand. I would be happy to be a client if u took ins. So will thousands of others. Many can afford pay good money. I know this is perfect for you.
You’re doing such a good job now helping everybody this is a scary thing and if it doesn’t work out, you could always find a job my husband died. I lost my contract. I had to start my own business cleaning business and I was 60 under 65 I kept my house my business was good. I did OK. It was very scary but I did it, there’s always something remember there’s always something
I believe in your successful new venture. I took a leap a few years ago, and brought a business from near failure into a successful business. I invested 4 years without pay, and built up a nice cushion for the business. I succeeded and was/am incredibly proud. Unfortunately, this business was in my brother's name, and he came back when it was successful and cut me out completely. He ran it into the ground and sold what was left. This is where i am left now, trying to find a way back to where i was a success. Doom and gloom, but i still have hope, and need to work on myself to come through the trauma.
candid cam is good and real and connects - it is also useful to think of a 'part' (of me) is anxious (usually a younger part and work through that with someone / yourSELF when time allows) - that part usually doesn't understand YOU (SELF) is much older and more resourced now to deal with these challenges - you(we) got this (or can take mitigation).
My social anxiety always ends up offending people. Today I went to the store where there was a self checkout just to avoid people. The woman worker seemed so offended. She probably thought I was snubbing her for some reason, but I really just have an extreme phobia of people. Every time I offend people it makes my anxiety worse. And so the cycle continues...
Yes your sharing this was very beneficial! How you ran through your process is so much more helpful than giving advice. It’s relatable. It’s talking with, not just to. It’s so much more understandable. Congratulations on this decision. I’ve no doubt you’ll be successful. You’ve given yourself permission to succeed. Anxiety be damned!
Your clients will fill up your roster in no time. You'll have a waiting list of others wishing to have you as their therapist. We can tell you will succeed by what you show us all the time and what you've already accomplished.
Your videos have been very helpful. I haven't ruminated at all today, which is incredible to me. I been ruminating and having insomnia for about two years and last night I actually slept better than I've slept in a long time.
After 2 videos I subscribed, you know what you're talking about. One thing I can say from experience is that life turned for the better the moment I started taking risks. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Full support to you.
Well done. Watching you work through a real life event happening now has the same satisfaction and inherent learning as a cooking video...something you're afraid, a problem you want to solve, waiting someone solve it. Thank you♡
Congratulations! 🎉 That’s really exciting (and painfully scary!). Thanks for walking us through your process. Very helpful. I want to thank you for helping me get back to work after 4 years of being unable to after a PTSD diagnosis. You said people with mental health issues need to arrange their schedules around managing symptoms (I’m paraphrasing) 😊. But that changed my perspective big time. It gave me agency. I started to schedule my whole day around getting well. I added virtual emdr to my day. It feels quite miraculous that I’m now back to work as a school psychologist and managing my symptoms quite well. Panic is all but gone! Thank you so much for what you do. ❤
@@DrScottEilers Thank you, Dr. Scott! Just think of the ripple effect your work is creating. From me, to my family, to the kids I’m able to support again. So cool!
I really appreciate the self disclosure and authenticity.
Yeah, seconded.
My mother told me years ago that for one to succeed, one must first risk failure. You've got this, Dr. Scott!
I ditto that ❤
Facts!💯
Agreed!
You are definitely going to succeed! I’m in my mid 60s and have seen many successful businesses and you have the total skill set to make this work. Don’t let your worries take away your joy as you go forward. We all believe in you. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations! You will be just fine. Yes you can do this! Because you are amazing therapist and your practice will prosper!
It's a huge risk, but I am so grateful for your videos, Scott!!! Thanks for doing all of this for the benefit of so many!
I’m only a few minutes in so far, but oh Scott… you HAVE started a Therapy practice before! You are in session with MANY patients right NOW! And your business is already succeeding… You’ve got this, Doc❤
I needed every word of this. Thank you. We don’t know each other but I’m proud of you! Realistic and encouraging.
Scott, you have helped me so much. Your candid videos like this have helped me to see that I really am not "the only one", that I am not wildly abnormal and alien and beyond help or hope, as I so often feel. If I lived anywhere near your new practice I'd be waiting on the doorstep on Day One. You're gonna do great ❤
I second that! ❤❤❤
I felt the same stuff, like I'm not good enough to be a human. That was years ago. Alot has changed but we always need an ear ,and understanding
DUDE, DUDE! You're not going to fail! I'm so proud of you(and I don't really know you)! There's a reason you've gotten so many subscribers so fast! You really resonate with people! You are so open and honest. Even my 12 yr old can understand what you're talking about! Stepping out in faith like this is huge! The rewards are right around the corner!
Oh wow! You're helping us turn our lives around, and we're helping you turn your life into the next stage. Far out!
You'll be FABULOUS at your own business, Scott. BECAUSE You are soooo personable, real and authentic. People LOVE that. GOODLUCK from Australia 🇦🇺
The risk of regret is worse then the risk of failure. You are a very authentic soul. I have no doubt all will work out for the best. Any failure is only a lesson you can use for wisdom, that's not failure, that's courage. THANK YOU for sharing.

You have given an example of what I learned from Dr Aldo Pucci as "thought court." I recently got your book and I just read the first chapter. It's really pretty mind-blowing to me to get that much empathy from a book. Thanks. You deserve to have confidence.
I think me and most of the people that follow you appreciate and admire your vulnerability.
Keep chasing your goals!
May God bless you and guide you.
Dr Scott, on top of the anxiety of opening your new practice, you also need to say goodbye to all of your colleagues and coworkers which in itself is hard to do. I wish you well in your new practice. Your genuine videos have helped many, including me.
YES, it's very reassuring to know that you can relate to what we go through, too. Thank you.
you are clearly passionate about your work and I think that will take you far. I’m rooting and praying for you, I appreciate yo ur down to earth straight to the point black and white advice. It truly grounds my anxiety. It helps me find the root cause and find easy simplified ways to assist myself through my emotions. What you’re doing is so important- if you take online patients outside of your state please post it
Congratulations!! You will be fine 😊
Being Self- Employed is very Bold move from being employee. You are very brave sir and thank you for your kindness by sharing your wisdom in Social media.
Yes, very helpful & a lesson in practical application Dr. Scott! Best wishes for an awesome new beginning!!
All the best with your new business. May it be successful. May your Anxiety reduce in strength.
Dr. Scott - glean from your success the last 7 years. Glean from your personal Victories. Glean from the knowledge & insight you have learned from your Day 1 life change. So many need you, so many will pay you, in the many arenas you mentioned. I believe God has many open doors for you. Since God is for you, who can be against you. Thank you for this channel. With love from this 62 yr old wife, mother & grandmother. You've helped me, & the best is yet to come. Your pain has now shown it's purpose. 🙏♥️
Correct. I had a mouse problem for the last several days. Things like this used to set off incredible anxiety/depression. Seeing more droppings this morning, I knew I could not handle this by myself. I called a good source for his contact with a good exterminator. No falling apart. No dragging in my 'history.' I feel empowered. I feel that my efforts to heal are paying off.
Best Wishes in your new endeavor. You really don't need 'luck'...you have experience, the right attitude, and integrity.
You got this Dr.Scott....congratulations 🎉 to you! You do such an incredible job at helping other's that its impossible not to win with the changes your making♡. Best of luck( :
You've helped so many folks bud you will do this!
Having started a business myself many years ago, I can tell you that it’s quite obvious you will succeed 🙂. This type of video is definitely helpful, very interesting to see how you cope with your own issues as they appear.
RESONATED! Sorry for the ALL CAPS! Your words give me and many of us a huge dose of kind, compassionate side of reality towards ourselves, that we dismiss, overlook so easily and freeze up about taking healthy risks. I remember the day I drove off from my workplace of 15+ years and feeling like I was out of prison. It was a sudden move for me and had not yet planned what to do. It's been over 20 years now since that day and I think subconsciously, I had hidden strength on my innate skills, like art, illustrations and love for animals. I wish you all the very best in your journey and each day brings new beginnings regardless of how the previous day was like! I am so happy for you!!!
"I wanted to show you how I deal with it."
😅
Just joking around. Nice work facing your fears! Your videos are super helpful. Keep it up bro!
The one thing I’ve learned about my mind, thoughts and feelings is that I can’t trust them. They often lie.
So I tell myself to make decisions based on goals and intentions-not feelings.
I am self employed 18 years...(landscaper)with a shit ton of anxiety to help things along 😉like a roller coaster ride..i have failed and fail all time and i refuse to give up..i have caused my family hardship due to my stubbornness..i am soley responsible and its scary....everyday i get butterflies still...i do not know what i would do without it..IT IS MY PURPOSE ❤you rock thankyou❤🙏💪
Dr. Scott, straight to the point, absolutely it was beneficial. To actually see the tools put into action is immensely helpful to me. I would never have thought to do this. If I'm being honest, and I am, I would have run to the medicine cabinet and gotten a Valium or gotten one out of the pillbox I carry in my pocket. To see and hear it done step by step is the best way for me to learn. Hopefully, the next time anxiety rears its ugly head, which will be some time tomorrow, I will be able to do what you have just shown me to do. This is great stuff. Please keep doing this type of video. I firmly believe that an incredible number of people will benefit just like I have. You are so needed in my world and many, many others. That you can take to the bank. Thank you so much for what you are doing!! 🤗 xoxo
Go you! I went through this 16 years ago when I left my stable job to change careers AND start my own business the year before the 2008 recession! I has been terrifying at times, but my previous job was soul killing! I have had ups and downs, but it was the best thing I ever did, and I am grateful I won the debate with my scared self.
Just do it, in time, you'll thank your younger self. You're a particularly competent person.
You're anxious about it because you care, if you weren't anxious, that would be a cause for concerns. You're on the correct path.
Keep moving forward.
Thank you for all your CZcams content.
Yes. Very helpful Dr Scott. Isn't is strange that whenever we(I) are(am) in need of something specific in recovery that something is usually provided by something greater then ourselves. This video was that for me. Thank you. You're gonna do great Dr Scott. The universe is conspiring to do you/us outstandingly.
I wish you well. You will be fine. Thank you for all the valuable information that you provide.
I like it when people actually show how these things work hands-on instead of talking about it as abstract concepts. It's helpful and better understandable what you're supposed to do (and at least partial proof that it actually works).
Also I'm excited for you and I've realized that's why it could help to have an outsider's perspective, maybe someone with a vision. Because based on just the fraction I've seen you do on here so far, I can see your huge potential. You can create your own space that you think will be beneficial to your patients. I also admire your courage (before I even heard all your family's background hinging on this) for making this step.
I'm excited to hear updates on how this goes for you.
If you wanted to add a Buy Me A Coffee, we would go for it!!! Your presentations are FAR more valuable than the in-person counselors I have paid in the past.
If this channel is any indication of your impact on people, I expect you will do great things in your practice. I'm rooting for you Dr. Scott!
Thanks for sharing your personal experience. I totally understand you at this point. I'm afraid of losing my job all the time and at the same time I don't wanna do it anymore but I need to pay rent.
First of all…Congratulations!! From the short time that I’ve been following you on CZcams, I’ve learned so much from your channel. I’ve heard some of it before, but the way you explain and present information has helped me FINALLY understand these complex concepts. For months my therapist has been working with me to “fact check” my anxiety to me. But now I get it! Thank you, Dr. Scott. Sending you many calming and positive wishes your way.
Very helpful video, thank you. And Congrats!
I did this exact thing two years ago. I left my cushy therapist job of almost ten years with the 401k and health insurance and paid time off and left it for my own private practice. It was scary as hell. I'm a single mom of an 11 year old with only my income. I'm coming out the other side and am much happier. Despite my fear and anxiety I'm happier being my own boss.
Thank you for sharing your live and uncensored work through of your anxiety. I believe you reap what you sow, and you seem to be hitting all the right points. I wish you the huge success you deserve. I am a mom to a 15yo anxiety/depressive girl. She has a little PTSD from last holiday season where she went into an anxiety spiral due to forgetting to take her meds. This video was KEY to helping her get out of that spin in order to make this holiday season different than last year. Because this year is no where near the same as last year with family and friends. I was able to pull up this video and another one around this time that hit home to her and she will use these tools.
As someone who is also in the throes of running a new business while dealing with anxiety, I appreciate this video and the authenticity! I can relate and it's helped me re-frame a few things that the anxiety was making me dwell on. Thank you for this!
You got this BRO !!! My entire life has been on me... Never had a Job ! You have a GREAT MESSAGE ! trust yourself !!
I didn’t know you until I saw your video on freezing up but it rang true and said this guy understands and you helped me. Now let me help you, I’m 58 but when I had a small family of 4 I did exactly what you did. It was scary but it also motivated me and everyday afterwards I had the same fear as I looked in the mirror every morning but made peace with it for the day and succeded. Fast forward to 50 and a life changing event caused me to be my wife’s FT caregiver. I learned something I wish I knew back when I was your age and that is how precious life is and how little money means in the whole scope of things, now the kids are on their own and I finally get it… life is funny and God must have a real sense of humor. Just remember to know you’re going to make it no matter what everything will work out but more importantly enjoy your life now, take time with your wife and kids now, the money will always be there. Good luck and enjoy!
Had my own business for 27 years . Been able to make an income. Worst part was paying for health in.
Also made money through ad sence. So many people are making a ton of money through this avenue. Probably could support ur family easily. Infact many make so much money, they live in very upper class style.
It's amazing.
A ba in psychology and graduate work. I know people would be using u as a therapist in a heart beat. Ur well spoken and clear. Easy too understand. I would be happy to be a client if u took ins. So will thousands of others. Many can afford pay good money.
I know this is perfect for you.
You’re doing such a good job now helping everybody this is a scary thing and if it doesn’t work out, you could always find a job my husband died. I lost my contract. I had to start my own business cleaning business and I was 60 under 65 I kept my house my business was good. I did OK. It was very scary but I did it, there’s always something remember there’s always something
You can't "screw" something up with good honest intentions! Tell your "doubts" you'll talk to them when you got extra time!😊❤
I believe in your successful new venture. I took a leap a few years ago, and brought a business from near failure into a successful business. I invested 4 years without pay, and built up a nice cushion for the business. I succeeded and was/am incredibly proud. Unfortunately, this business was in my brother's name, and he came back when it was successful and cut me out completely. He ran it into the ground and sold what was left. This is where i am left now, trying to find a way back to where i was a success. Doom and gloom, but i still have hope, and need to work on myself to come through the trauma.
Very helpful 💜 thank you for sharing. All the best on your new journey!
You have been and remain my go-to for my issues. Perhaps fate made you go through all your battles so you’d be able to help others. 😊
candid cam is good and real and connects - it is also useful to think of a 'part' (of me) is anxious (usually a younger part and work through that with someone / yourSELF when time allows) - that part usually doesn't understand YOU (SELF) is much older and more resourced now to deal with these challenges - you(we) got this (or can take mitigation).
Dealing with the pathological anxiety has made dealing with situational anxiety so much easier for me.
My social anxiety always ends up offending people. Today I went to the store where there was a self checkout just to avoid people. The woman worker seemed so offended. She probably thought I was snubbing her for some reason, but I really just have an extreme phobia of people. Every time I offend people it makes my anxiety worse. And so the cycle continues...
I can relate to you and your situation. I recently found your channel and I would 100% see you as a patient. You’re gonna be a huge success.
Yes your sharing this was very beneficial! How you ran through your process is so much more helpful than giving advice. It’s relatable. It’s talking with, not just to. It’s so much more understandable. Congratulations on this decision. I’ve no doubt you’ll be successful. You’ve given yourself permission to succeed. Anxiety be damned!
You are going to be a huge success, you have that special something!! Good luck Dr. Scott! ❤
Your clients will fill up your roster in no time. You'll have a waiting list of others wishing to have you as their therapist. We can tell you will succeed by what you show us all the time and what you've already accomplished.
You're doing an EXCELLENT TALK off the cuff!!! And funny. Thank you!
Your videos have been very helpful. I haven't ruminated at all today, which is incredible to me. I been ruminating and having insomnia for about two years and last night I actually slept better than I've slept in a long time.
You’re gonna absolutely crush it. (Don’t under value your work in your own business!)
There’s so much need for what you do and you’re top notch!!!
After 2 videos I subscribed, you know what you're talking about. One thing I can say from experience is that life turned for the better the moment I started taking risks. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Full support to you.
Well done. Watching you work through a real life event happening now has the same satisfaction and inherent learning as a cooking video...something you're afraid, a problem you want to solve, waiting someone solve it. Thank you♡
Congratulations! 🎉 That’s really exciting (and painfully scary!). Thanks for walking us through your process. Very helpful. I want to thank you for helping me get back to work after 4 years of being unable to after a PTSD diagnosis. You said people with mental health issues need to arrange their schedules around managing symptoms (I’m paraphrasing) 😊. But that changed my perspective big time. It gave me agency. I started to schedule my whole day around getting well. I added virtual emdr to my day. It feels quite miraculous that I’m now back to work as a school psychologist and managing my symptoms quite well. Panic is all but gone! Thank you so much for what you do. ❤
Wow I am so happy to hear this 😁
@@DrScottEilers Thank you, Dr. Scott! Just think of the ripple effect your work is creating. From me, to my family, to the kids I’m able to support again. So cool!
Thank you for the authentic sharing! We will be your doctors in this community and you'll be OK! We'll have your back! 🤗
Yess these were very helpful! thank you 🙏🏻
You’re doing such a wonderful job right now helping people you can do this, and if not, something else will come down the line
