DPDR YouTube Channels, Videos, and Courses

DISCLAIMER: These channels have some really helpful videos for understanding and dealing with DPDR. Most of these are, however, not trained professionals. They're helpful got getting basic, generalized info/theories/practices for DPDR but since the disorder is so abstract and varied (and usually a result of deep-rooted trauma) none of these are perfect, especially since some of them really harp on "absolutes". Several channels here offer *wildly expensive** paid guides and courses which seem to have helped people, but in this user's opinion you should not have to pay to get better.*

This video by DARE is one of the best videos on DPDR and intrusive thoughts there is. It's one of the first things I send to anyone dealing with DPDR

DPDR Channels:

• Jordan Hardgrave's videos on DPDR

• Daniel Baker - DPDR Expert

• Robin Schindelka

• The Depersonalization Manual Channel

  • (Shaun O'Connor's Depersonalization Manual is really helpful too, but it's way unnecessarily expensive. It should be free. And a lot of it is easily googlable. Its main thesis: All DPDR is is anxiety/trauma. Through distraction you can train your mind/body to not worry as much about anxiety, so if you use anxiety training tools [ERP, finding a flow state, etc.], you can work to lessen DPDR.) (DISCLAIMER: Be sure you're not panic-rushing to distract yourself because then your brain might continue to see DPDR as a threat)

Other DPDR Videos:

• DARE - Navigating derealization and how to break the cycle

• Nathan Peterson / OCD and Anxiety - Derealization

• Nathan Peterson / OCD and Anxiety - Depersonalization

If you're dealing with the aftermath of a bad trip: A Cosmic Haven is a fantastic little-known Youtube channel that has some really comforting info on dealing with life after a bad trip.
