In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life’s direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe

Dear Emma, thank you very much for this and all your other videos! Would it be possible to make another video on how to find one's personal values? In my teens, I had strong values and integrity. But with time, there were more and more traumatic events in my life, I became more and more depressed. Once a curious, hard-working and "gifted" student, I lost interest in learning new things, reading and doing the extra mile.. it felt so hard and draining, like I had no energy left. I lost my faith in God, which was something I could orient myself on till now. When my family crumbled and relatives distanced themselves from us after telling them what was going on and begging for help, I became cynical concerning the value of family and bloodties. Helping others started to feel like giving and never receiving…After years of psychotherapy I am doing much better now and I met a fantastic partner. But in my deepest core, there stayed something dead, sad and cynical. Something, that still feels like I'm drowning and that I have no energy left, because all I should do is try to survive, not to live, just survive. It feels very hard to elaborate how I would like to be… What are the most important traits one/me should have? Thinking e.g. "I want to be hard-working" puts a lot of pressure on me mentally and that shames me. I would LOVE to hear your fantastic insight on that! P.S. I am not a native speaker, so please forgive any potential mistakes in the text
This is awesome! You & your videos have literally changed my life for the better! Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing ❤
From personal experience, moral values like selflessness, sacrificing, unconditional love, kindness and being a giver , etc qualities are very beautiful but can turn out to be useless in the end. Try choosing practical qualities like hard work and organized planning to achieve worldly success so you have a life less troublesome and more bearable. And let the prior qualities be in just limited amount for selective areas. Or else you will suffer unnecessarily and in my experience, it's best to help yourself first to help others later

Thank you I needed this, years of drug abuse really hurt my inner self
For the lady worried she is mean – I would make the distinction between nice and kind.
I'm not a nice guy. But I'm kind.
A nice person is nice to you – but sometimes to manipulate you and use you.
A kind person is benevolent – even if sometimes coming off harshly. Think "Tough Love" – one can give tough love and be kind.
Compare that to: one can be the nicest person in the country – but be manipulative and using of people.
To me kind > nice hands down.
Your videos have inspired and helped me alot, thankyou so much for doing what you do. 🌻
Also, is it possible to find the values list anywhere?
Pure Gold!
This cleared up the confusion I was facing, thank you so much for your help ❤ God bless you!
12:21 ❤❤❤
Now I just need to figure out how to cope with pain (when I finally stop avoiding it).
Hedonistic pop psychology of coping skills and self-care 😂
Family is one of my values but my parents are toxic they are the source to my problems. The rest of the family is self centered and I see noone. It is always me who reached out. I am done and tired of it. 44 single, no kids, no close friends, I kinda feel like I lost the last train. I feel so disappointed in life
She literally is a Godsend man. If I ever see her in-person I would just cry and say thank you 😭❤️🙏
Great video, well done.
So much wisdom!!!
I try thinking on the positive side of life, but I'm at point at giving up on art and literature. I can't seem to do anything right. All my life all wanted to do is be part of the animation andor comic book industry. To have my voice be heard and do something fun and creative. But look at me. I'm a autistic/Asperger adult man in his mid 30's still struggling to make a name of his self in the creative field.
If I can't a good cartoon, comic, video game or even a children's book, then what's the point trying anymore. I have already wasted the last 18-19 years of life trying to succeed at something in the entertainment industry and literature field and I still fail. Life sucks and I suck.
