Thinking is harmful, not safe thing

Wondering if someone made a short bullet point for this lecture?
To all you beautiful humans, I wish you all the peace and happiness in life. Just wanted to share a practice that has significantly helped me in depression. Wanted to share this with you that maybe it just helps you out even one tiny bit. Please take a holistic approach (meting a counselor, friends, loved ones, exercise, healthy diet , healthy sleep, taking it day by day), with all that you are already doing. Please try this breathing exercise meditation for a few minutes. Initially you can do this twice a day ,once comfortable you may increase however you feel like. Please try this persistently daily two sessions at least. The method is explained in the video below. Please do try out and have a wonder fulfilled life 🙂
Sit in a comfortable and quiet place. Close your eyes. Each ingress or inhale inwards should carry the word 'Allah' to the core of heart and every egress or exhale outwards should bring the word 'Hoo' out to strike the heart. That would create a rhythm of Allah Hoo in every breath. You should however, not try to make these words with the sound of your breath, because the Zikr is not done with the breath but with heart. This spiritual practice should be done twice a day at least for 5 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIJlU0lC5VA&fbclid=IwY2xjawEcnFdleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHTm5LaeBhbUbLlrdsPOEh2fOdP3KrJ2seDH6oCDtaleUzU5EE7c0RmHzYw_aem_-JPAm5LNTPdIFPfm1G_hag
My depression will be cured when this country decides to stand as a democratic republic, and shun the fascist oligarchs.
Traditional Chinese Medicine would solve a lot of this. Not psychologists.
I lose a father, child and mother with in a year in a half. A year in a half later I'm still depressed 🤷🏾♂️. I'm not trying to be happy i just don't want to be depressed
The sad thing is, that watching these videos is just a short distraction when you are in hell. It doesn't solve anything.
To anyone suffering,medications can be life changer,many medicines didn't suit or show results,surprisingly ,a physchiatrist dealing with neuro from my home town recommended me some medicines after listening to my particular complaints and it showed results within 10 days.If nothing is work8ng ,then do resort to medicines
As someone who suffers with extreme severe anxiety I can totally relate to her. I would stop eating for days at a time as a punishment. I worry a lot about my life, everyone around me and pleasing everyone. It's absolutely crippling, so glad she got the help she needed, lovely young lady it's so sad that society has 1 in 3 people suffering mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help
Follow community standards?
This’ll be a tough requirement but I’ll give it my best.
This ol’ geezer needing a haircut and someone else’s sense of humor, what a jackass!
I’m going to take a wild stab in the dark here and say he’s done far more damage than good in his field!
Guy acts like therapy is free. What a joke
He could've avoided the political crap…
24:56 internal orientation – subjective vs objective.
I’m 49 never had friends or family I’m always alone
Be very careful…as you age, the system cannot wait to "diagnose" you and begin a "mental health" file going on you.
It will help them make critical decisions and assume legal rights and establish jurisdiction over your life and your right to make decisions for yourself. They will remove one liberty after another under the guise of "care." Not everyone who claims to "care" about you really does. Don't be naive or narrow minded about that. Learn to manage every aspect of your life. Don't be quick to turn that over to others. Remain as independent as possible for as long as possible.
Old age homes are horror chambers for the elderly who have no relatives or family support…but do have a Social Security check they can get at.
And they know the neglect that takes place every single day in these places! It is kept out of sight and out of mind until they have you on their radar and in their sights. It is tragic what elderly people are suffering through at these places. It's enough to depress anyone. Nurture and guard your own critical thinking about such topics. This is not "paranoia"…
this is being aware of WHAT IS!

Parent, own only boy hung himself. Parent drunk himself to death. Lets talk about truth sometimes you piece of shit
How do i want my life to be
one of the best lectures about the subject, thank you so much, so helpful
This life is literally hell. That's why we all get depressed.
Fuck my life man, the more i read the comments
We don't waste time but PTSD and depression does
The only cure I've found is community. Mine is AA. Someone in a meeting once said that we're all being "loved back to life". Gotta find your people ❤
I used to have lots of friends, now i can't just nomarlly interact with them. So i can feel that they are gradually leaving me. The process of transforming makes me more depressed. It's a vicious circle. I don't know whethr i can handle it or not
I listened to the entire lecture, and I think the most relatable thing he said was: Every depression is different and every treatment is different. Which is the humblest he has been in the lecture. He then went on and generalized some common rules, like: Don't make decision based on what you feel! For example, work out even if you're not feeling like doing it. Which is… I dunno. Seems like oversimplification equal to Nike's slogan: Just do it! If you could scream on any depressed person: Just do it! therapy would be much easier. Generally, I had the feeling (see? Feeling) that he talks more about depressed people then for depressed people. At the end of the lecture he had some good general pointers, such as work out, do things for fun, learn to relax… All good advices. So all in all – decent lecture. If anyone got something from it and found it helpful then it did its job. Me? I don't "dig" it. Different therapists for different people I guess.
Pointless ass. Video literally doesn’t work
Amen❤
Just have a great childhood, caring parents, good genetics and bam, you're good
19:50 I’d like to show appreciation for his quick wit for when the person in the audience sneezed and he made a comment about it tying it into his lecture.
This dude got jokes. I lost it when he said these aren't 7 Habits of Highly Effective People 😅
Of course it's before the 😷 pandemic, unbelievable a phder was mix thrust and lies and wanting everyone's believing in him. Afraid of living? Be strong to keep on going is bad? Everyone under control in is better for the system, right?
