Therapy Technique for Anxiety, Phobias, & OCD

This video will explore how the human person is viewed from the lens of Logotherapy and the impact this has on working with people, including Frankl’s definitions of wholeness and unity.

This video explains the mechanisms of anticipatory anxiety and overthinking.

This video looks at the physical and psychological symptoms of anxiety, we will explore two types of anxiety (psychological and ontological) and the difference between them. We look at Aristotle’s view of emotions, and how anxiety became a focus in the existential philosophy of the 19th and 20th centuries. We explore Kierkegaard’s distinctions between fear and anxiety.

This video illustrates the feeling anxiety described in the work of Kierkegaard.

This video looks at reactions to fear through fight, flight, and freeze reactions. We look at fear through the lenses of various philosophers.

We continue the exploration of fear through the works of the existentialist philosophers. We also look at the role of our subjective interpretation in fears, and how fears develop into phobias.

This video expands further on our relationship to the feeling of fear, and the benefits of changing our relationship to fear.

This video explores faith and freedom, and how the Stoic philosophers understood these themes. We look at moving from a reaction to fear, to a conscious response to fear.

We continue to explore fear through the work Susan Jeffers and 'The Five Truths about Fear'.

This video looks at the language that we use around fear internally and externally and the impact this has on us. We explore ways to change this language and the unconscious changes that can happen as a result of this.

This video concludes our exploration of fear and connects the psychology of fear with the technique of Paradoxical Intention.

This video looks at the role of humour in dealing with fears and phobias with Logotherapy. We look at some theories of humour, and the connection between dreams and humour in the work of Freud. We also explores the importance of play in therapy, and in life through the work of D.W. Winnicott and others.

Here we look at the relationship between fear and desire, and how desire can be used to cancel out fear.

This video looks at how the inversion of intention can be used to relieve fear.

This video looks at how Paradoxical Intention posits a response to fear outside the framework of fight, flight, and freeze.

We conclude our look at the mechanisms behind Paradoxical Intention by recapping the steps we have to take to move beyond habitual reactions.

This video explores how people can try to avoid fear through obsessional control.

Here we have some real world examples of how anticipatory anxiety can play out, and how Paradoxical Intention, and Dereflection can help move out of this response.

This short video gives some examples of how phobias play out in real life, to define phobic reactions against obsessional reactions.
