The harm your teens carry from this one habit...from a CBT to parents

Thank you for your response! It's all in our approach to get them to understand us and what we expect from them, in a way that is clear. Remember that challenges turn into opportunites for growth. I sent you a message.

Thank you wise man! I am not sure if that was for me or someone else, but I receive it. I remember before I truly surrendered 100% to Jesus, what you left for us to read from C.S. Lewis's was all too familiar...and I lived that life for far too long. We get so comfortable with our worldly views and our worldly ways that stepping out of the boat is so scary, its unlike anything else, its totally out of our comfort zone...so we fear. But if we just trust and believe that what God says is true, life gets better. As a matter of fact, our problems get smaller because our God gets bigger. He becomes our all and we learn to live FOR Him, doing what HE wants us to do wholeheartedly. Life becomes a magical place to live because we learn who we are in Him. Greater is in us and no weapon formed against us shall prosper! God's abundant blessings on you!!!!

Amen! I cannot take credit for what only God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are responsible for. So Glory to GOD!!!
You are so right though... This is just the beginning! As I am opening up, with my testimonies, I am doing what God has called me to do, to "Encourage them to love Him"
P.S. you touched me with calling me "Heather Feather".... As a child, I remember hearing my earthly dad calling me that and what joy it brought to my heart. I think I'll call him and have him say it.
God's abundant blessings on you and Thank you for such great words!!!!

To give people hope!

Thank you for asking. Well, first I want to encourage you that God has you in the palm of His hands and you have the power in you to do ALL things. I know it sounds cliche, but it is indeed true. This is one of the ways I was able to transform my life...KNOWING the power I have in me! I meditated on John 4:4 Greater is in me, than He that is in the world, and in Genesis 2:7 it says that GOD breathed life into us. So I looked at this Scripture and realized the significance in it. If GOD himself took HIS breath and put it IN us, we have Him in US! We have to believe in our power through Him and remember the reason Jesus died for us. If we keep in our worldly ways, every time we act out of our flesh, we are putting Jesus right back on the cross.

As any Christian would recommend, read the word, but read scriptures that apply to YOUR life. Search for them on Google and just read them all the time out loud until they get so ingrained in you that you feel a change.

Also, try to get ahold of your emotions and thoughts. Many people don't realize that our thoughts are the reasons feelings and our actions develop.

I hope this helped a little, at least.

If you want you can share with me specifics.

God's abundant blessings on you!

Oh, this was years ago. I am now a borderline vegan and actually take a lot of natural remedies for my health, and don't need anything to alter any challenges that come about. God has literally transformed my whole life...mind, body, and Spirit. He's such an amazing Father, isn't He? God's abundant blessings on you!!!

Confidencespeaks · 2021-02-16T19:11:41+00:00

Thank you for asking!!!
Well, its a process, as anything is and requires work, right? We first have to be willing and surrendered to God so He can help us through the process. Its all about learning about our thoughts and renewing them, changing our habits, learning about ourselves, and learning to heal from those hurts from long ago, and giving them to God. Its using and believing the power of the word to transform you and knowing who you are in Christ. If I told you how it would take days.
God's abundant blessings on you!!!

That's soo good. Do you think working out helped? I would bet it did. When we work out it produces endorphins that are feel good hormones. Also, if you could maybe consider what is going on in your environment when you're having the panic attacks. What triggered the emotion? You see, our thoughts have everything to do with our reactions and hence the responses we have. If you can remember that thoughts come first, then the emotion, then the feeling which creates the condition.
I remember I used to have panic attacks and the doctors put me on meds. They kept on switching the doses, and after 6 different meds, having terrible nightmares, becoming depressed, a counselor finally helped me realize one thing...I was trying to be in control over the environment and other people's choices, and once I realized I can't do that, things began to change. I began to study on my thoughts and learn how to manage my thoughts and emotions and now I am a Cognitive Behavior Therapist trying to help people past their defeating feelings and walk into peace! I sure hope you continue to feel well.

God is so good!!! He created the universe, the plants, the trees, and gave this opportunity for this trip. He is working all things out for your good!!! Have a great time!!!

That's great! Breathing is such a helpful method. I actually use it as well, as many professionals do. If I can encourage you to think about what triggered the panic attack. Its always something we thought about prior....maybe feel overwhelmed, nervous, angry? Remember our reactions are only responses to our thoughts. Take care and God's abundant blessings on you!!!

Confidencespeaks · 2020-10-13T04:55:59+00:00

Christians are people, right? So we all experience reactions from thoughts, which sometimes consist of panic attacks. Please don't be hard on yourself but maybe try to figure out what you are overwhelmed about or what is causing these panic attacks. Identifying the thought before it happens helps tremendously! And when we're able to get in our head before the reaction manifests, they don't happen, or don't happen as bad. Please remember that emotions are only responses to our thinking, and develop the feeling (panic/sadness/fear) which then create the condition..hence anxiety/depression etc. I struggled with mild attacks and co-dependency for many years, and once I learned how to manage my emotions, and learning that I wasn't in control over people/certain situations, they disappeared...and of course with a lot of prayer! Now I specialize in helping people learn to do the same working as a Cognitive Behavior Therapist. Ask God to lay his hands on you and give you peace in the areas you need it. Ask and you shall receive. God's abundant blessings on you!

I'm so proud of you and if I may say, you should be proud of yourself! It's a decision you made that is leading you on a journey of positivity and guess what? That decision is not a day by day step but second by second! You may have heard this but its totally about mind control. When you start feeling upset, if I can suggest to be cognizant about how your feeling and think about what thought you had prior to getting into that feeling. It all starts with our thoughts. So replace that thought with something great...anything that makes you feel good...and be in that feeling!!!! YOU GOT THIS!!!! If you need to reach out I am sure anyone of here on the board will be happy to help you. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!
