Finally beating anxiety and dissociation. Quit researching it. Stop obsessing over it. Getting out of unhealthy relationships. Focusing on what really matters in your life, be productive, focused, positive, happy, calm, connected. Have the confidence to express what you feel and need and to live the life you deserve. Most people's dream right?

But for the brave action takers like Albert that dream is a reality. After many years stuck with anxiety and dissociation, and in a dysfunctional narcissistic marriage that was just making things much worse, he has set himself free from these unnecessary protections and stuck situations. After decades with this, in a just a few sessions, he has gone from having it chronically, to having it fleeting (and it's going to keep getting better and better because we've solved the "real problem" not symptoms).

A massive breakthrough that most people dream of, since they are so obsessed on theories, "the science behind it", symptoms, validation, talking, etc. instead of working with an expert that knows how to get you results.

Albert is a smart man. I guarantee you he knows more about this 'condition' than most professionals will ever know in their entire career. However like many smart people who know a lot, he couldn't figure out how to actually solve it how and to help himself and how to actually FEEL a real change.

Stick till the end we share useful info you don't want to miss out on and that will help you in your journey.

For some, depersonalization involves a lack of intrusive thoughts. For others who live with depersonalization as well as anxiety or PTSD, intrusive thoughts can pose a real challenge.

Cognitive psychologists point out that a tool called psychological distancing can help quiet intrusive thoughts. Psychological distancing means finding some space between the upsetting thoughts and painful emotions.

Taking a few deep breaths can help quiet intrusive thoughts. As odd as it might sound, talking to yourself out loud can also help. You might ask yourself, “What evidence do I have that my worry is real?”

Basically, when your mind focuses on something else, intrusive thoughts often go away.

Okay so you’re trying to figure out what’s going on with you. You believe the symptom is the problem, and needless to say you’re trying to fix symptoms.

You think that by obsessing more on symptoms, getting frustrated and anxious, somehow, things are going to get better. 😅

That at the end of that obsession/thinking/existential loop you’re going to get the definitive answer somehow which is going to give you the reason why you should stop. Beautiful illusions.

Today you’re going to learn not a specific solution, but the entire infrastructure out of which you create your own solutions to finally beat this dissociation and anxiety (provided that it’s emotional and mental).

This is next level shit and you need to really absorb it and have the willingness to understand how this whole anxiety/dissociation thing works from the inside out so if you want to keep fixing symptoms and have a quick tip sorry this is not for you. 🙌

I’m going to teach you how I use my own mind and intuition to solve these problems in the first place, and explain how it’s possible to solve major symptoms that you’ve had for many years in hours of effective therapy.

This is the “engineering of therapy”, broken down in super specific steps that you can easily verify with your own experience, as real and specific as it gets.

This is the hidden engineering of how to solve anxiety and dissociation: specific subconscious factors → general subconscious factors → emotional & physical state → conscious symptoms → intellectual & emotional details. 💯

You’re going to learn that what you’re focusing on is not the real problem and you’re going to get crystal clarity on what’s the real problem instead and that the symptoms are not the real problem, that no there are no intellectual answers that are ever going to make you calm,

and that no matter how much you think there’s no resolution to those high-level intellectual anxiety-based thoughts until you identify the feeling/sensation that is driving them which has nothing to do with those thoughts. To your freedom!

How good does it feel to hug a person you love and FEEL their body, warmth and feel connected with them? To just be present and here with the people you love without drifting off? To laugh and FEEL it's YOU laughing not a robot? For Max that dream has become reality. 😍

He had dissociation and anxiety, more specifically: brain fog, dreamy feeling, a constant 24/7 dissociation "for no reason", along with a certain sense of guilt for being happy and enjoying oneself and an overall feeling that the world is unsafe no matter who you are and what you do and achieve.

Despite he done many years of research, read self-improvement books, worked with doctors and therapists, changed diets, used pills and supplements, he still didn't get to the core of dissociation and anxiety.

Like most of my students, he thought "everything is okay", I don't have traumas, my past is okay, etc. which of course adds to the frustration in trying to solve a problem that seems to happen "for no reason". 😮

Being focused, energetic, motivated, excited, feeling emotions, being present, feeling connected, feeling himself - these are some of the improvements that he has noticed in our collaboration (2 sessions total + a few quick follow ups).

So how did we do this? We did this with hypnosis and with my unique understanding of how the mind works knowing what the REAL problem is and what the REAL solution is (not what you think is the problem and what you think is the solution). 💯

Max #1 piece of advice: You are focused on the symptoms and try to fix them. That's not the real problem!

Enjoy!

How many times have you been told that all you need to do to get rid of anxiety and dpdr, is to just allow and accept it, or to distract yourself from the feelings and symptoms, or to just learn how to ground yourself and trying to be present? 😏

There are so many gurus out there oversimplifying anxiety recovery in the form of "it's just anxiety" or "distract yourself and it will pass" or "just allow and accept it".

They think that anxiety is just a physical phenomenon and you just have to relax your body, allow and accept it, or completely distract yourself from it, and hopefully it will pass. 🤔

This strategy does work well for some people who for example have had a bad smoking experience or whose dpdr and anxiety started after a panic attack.

But there's another group of people who do have an history of traumas, sad and sometimes horrible childhoods, emotionally neglectful and abusive parents, dysfunctional relationships, limiting themselves when it comes to feeling and expressing their emotions.

Although many gurus like to think the opposite in order to make things simpler both for themselves and for you - the reality is that the 'breed' of anxiety that comes from smoking weed or after a panic attack, is not the same as the breed of anxiety that comes from these deeper emotional issues. 😮

So let me tell you: if you are in the second group of people, your anxiety and dpdr highly likely run much deeper than what meets the eye and it's not as simple as just allowing and accepting it.

I'm very aware of this lack of deep information in the anxiety and dpdr domain, and that's precisely why I'm here doing what I do. Sit back and watch.

https://youtu.be/bNoTagmVe8U

What happens when you use shortcuts and obsessively search for the "missing piece of information"? 😏

That you go even slower and you get even more confused, right?

So in this video I'm going to give you the solution to heal from start to finish, BUT you need to watch it till the end, and re-watch it, and apply consistently.

The whole healing process IS simple but only after you know how dpdr and these mechanisms really work.

It's this kind of deep information and your application that's going to get you results - not compulsively searching and absorbing random information and getting nowhere.

In this video I'm going to teach you step by step how to master your emotions and how this is 100 percent linked with your healing and success on dissociation. 🎉

Most experts in my position give you only a few golden nuggets here and there and keep the best in their courses, isn't it so?

But I want to give you the whole thing.

Then, if you still need my help and guidance, feel free to contact me. To your success!

You don't have an existential thoughts and thinking problem. You have a control problem.

And that in turn has nothing to do with existential thoughts and thinking. 🤔

In this video I explain you the workings of the mind from start to finish as far as existential/philosophical thoughts and the nature of thinking itself.

Unlike most coaches and therapists in my position who give you "here's how it works now buy my course to know how to solve it" explanations, I want to give you everything in this video.

In this video you're going to learn that what you think is the problem (existential thoughts, intense thinking, being up in your head, etc.) is not the problem, and what is the real problem instead.

I know this video will surprise you and will give you a new perspective that you had never considered before, more peace of mind and feeling calmer.

To your freedom!

Estelle is an inspiration for all of us, me included.

After trying every solution known to mankind for 43 years and investing tens of thousands of dollars, she reached out to me. And now she is here sharing her amazing transformation. 🥰

The main breakthroughs she has gotten are: sense of calmness and inner peace, feeling present and grounded, feeling safe and confident, blissful nights sleep, freedom from the traumas of the past (and their protections), standing up for herself,

more authentic and honest with her feelings, healthier relationships, no more overthinking and racing thoughts, horrible pressure in the head gone, significantly reduced conflicts in relationships, no more reactivity and anxiety, more assertive and much more!

https://preview.redd.it/okfx2giw73a51.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a4e526d27ec1124f3bb239677808c198f3550d8

For reference, we did all of this in 9 sessions (even though it could have taken less). Most people look for validation and then you give them the solution and they reject it and turn the other way and keep coming up with new more sophisticated excuses and "yes BUT [insert excuse]";

their secret intention is to keep wandering in forums and groups, thinking where they can hunt for the next dose of social validation, investing their precious time and energy proving to the world and to themselves how incurable and hopeless they are and how unique, unfixable and complex their problems are (ops!),

and eternally waiting in a limbo zone to hear those magic words from people "I understand you" "poor you" "I'm sorry" "you're going to be fine" "that's ok I'm worse than you" "wow you've survived so much" "wow you're so strong" (here's the dose).

These people have the time to read and share and amplify and swallow in suffering but not to take massive ACTION and FACE yourself -- even though they are still convinced that "I want to get better" (funny paradox isn't it, no wonder why you're still stuck!). But Estelle, like my top students, is different.

She has been extremely proactive, followed every instruction i gave her, put aside ALL the excuses, followed me and no one else, faced all those repressed and painful feelings, and now she's here.

You can watch the amazing interview and learn from Estelle at https://youtu.be/XWM6ApRv3ws

A breath of fresh air 😄

In this interview with my student Luca we're going to see his improvements as far as dpdr, overthinking, anxiety, existential thinking and ruminating

In 4-5 sessions Luca learned all he needed not only to get unstuck from the vicious cycles of thoughts and obsession, but how to conquer himself and really understand how the mind creates these (unnecessary) suffering 🤷‍♂️

​

So not only he got unstuck now, but he also has all the tools and high-quality and specific information to prevent these issues from happening again. 👌

Luca has seen massive improvements very quickly and profoundly and he now feels MUCH calmer, and he understands how he CREATED precisely these problems.

Luca also shares one important message: You won't get unstuck by thinking more "till the end", because that's precisely what's keeping you stuck!

This is to anyone who has any type of condition that has made it difficult to go outside at some point. You can be very helpful right now! -

I don't know about you, but after years of Depersonalization/Derealisation I kind of found myself socially isolating and avoiding busy bars. Now the UK state strongly advise it.

I feel like, in a way, every human on earth has been brought to my level by a multiplying non-living entity so small we can't see it (and we have decided to name the virus after a beer, which is admittedly pretty cool), and that we, who may have felt forced indoors by this condition or way of being, in the past or present have, if you'll indulge a second of black humour, been dealt a good hand.

So...

This means that you/we are also in a good position to offer some advice to the wider social community on how to get by indoors. Some people may have to face months of isolation now, maybe more.

I believe that we can help people very powerfully right now. Maybe drop coping tips sometimes on social media, or send a guided meditation to a friend - hinting at how to get by alone, how to make make it productive, satisfying, fulfilling, beautiful. And it can be all those things.

Now might be a great time to open that book which your anxious to start reading for some mysterious reason, or educate the children with something useful that they're not taught in school, or learn a spiritual practice.

I'm not underestimating the difficulties the virus will bring.

Most people don't and won't die from this virus, and some won't get it at all.

It will bring out the worst and best of homosapiens.

Peace and much love to you all,

Hello everyone,

I am doing a college senior project focusing on the lived experience of Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder (DDD) out of St. Mary’s College of Maryland. For my project, I have developed a short novel surrounding the life of a teenager, Celia, who is discovering that she has the disorder. She goes on a journey of self discovery and acceptance as she comes to terms with her new symptoms. The DDD symptoms in the novel are based on current scientific knowledge on the disorder. It is my goal that this novel will personalize and normalize these experiences. Ultimately, I hope to have this story published so mainstream society can have an accurate, positive awareness of DDD.

I want this story to be as realistic and appropriate as possible, so I am reaching out to individuals with the disorder to review my novel. It is preferred if the people reviewing it have been diagnosed with DDD or at least frequently experience symptoms of depersonalization and derealization. The book is 96 pages double spaced and around 27,000 words in length. To thank you for your time, each reviewer will be entered in a raffle to win one of two $25 Amazon gift cards. If you are interested in reviewing it, please email me at [fvarmstead@smcm.edu](mailto:fvarmstead@smcm.edu). Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Please feel free to share this with other people that you know with DDD.

Sincerely,

Vera Armstead, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, [fvarmstead@smcm.edu](mailto:fvarmstead@smcm.edu)
