  • That’s a matter of some debate.

    With all the various neurodivergencies and ways people are wired differently, language comprehension or barriers, not to mention physical or mental handicaps, a video might very well be easier to help someone absorb the information.

    I wholeheartedly agree it’s not for everyone, but it is certainly for someone, and the more ways available to consume and process information, the better for us all as a whole. At least when it comes to educational and unbiased content, which seems to be the intention of this YouTuber.



  • Depends on what school treatment you’re trying to implement.

    In metacognitive therapy you learn to live with the feelings of anxiety. To get used to them, that they aren’t dangerous. When I went through it it reminded me of exposure therapy, but to anxiety and negative outlooks/triggers.

    This is of course only one of the many different schools of treatment. Where metacognitive focuses on acknowledging and existing with triggers, cognitive therapy can focus on identifying the train of thought leading to anxiety, and interrupting it before it leads to anxiety.

    In any case it’s not something you’d want to attempt on your own or without consulting a mental health specialist, psychologist, psychiatrist, what have you.

    Also you have to find the approach that’s right for you, and be prepared that getting a handle on anxiety might be a long and cumbersome journey.
