What do you advise to men that have been in therapy for over a decade, have been told to just break out of the cycle and "do it" to take action.
Followed that advice every time.
And each time it didn't make them feel any better/happier with themselves and end up feeling even less in control?
The biggest fucking problem with anxiety as a man is you? Don’t really know that you have anxiety.
Great video. While watching the part he says that not being in control of a situation leads to stress, I noticed that I think a little different. I fell more stressed when there is a situation that has a solution but I can't find it and there is pressure for me to solve it. If a situation/event doesn't have a solution, there is nothing I can do to change it, so I don't even bother thinking about it and just "go with the flow". So, for me, having a problem that can't have a solution is less stressful than having a problem that has a solution but I don't know it (it multiplies the stress if there is pressure from other people and myself to solve it).
"I know this might sound weird but…"
Yooooo god damn 🤩 this information is sooooo good to hear and understand!
Yo dr. K you look amazing in black – respectfully ❤😁🙏🏼
Gracias 💙
How to find and choose the right help that i need? I mean psychology/psycho therapy. Experienced all kinds of bad things in life since i was a kid and later and i keep strugling with relationship with myself, girls, also cant choose and stick with one career. 32 yrs old now, started to feel that im not geting younger, but i do want at least half succesful life.
Real talk, as I listened to this, I started to reflect, and physically started to feel the anxiety that had previously been silent.

Well shit. hahah.
With regards to heterosexual norms, I’ve been saying for a while one of the best decisions I’ve made in life is to start hugging my guy friends when I see them. It feels so much better than those awkward “what’s up bro”s and I honestly feel like has strengthened my connection to my friends over time
Dr. K must be wrong… The Internet says (very clearly and emphatically) ONLY women get the short end of the stick on any and all diagnoses since they are based solely on mens experiences!
Goddamn, this man summarized my current situation in the first 2 minutes.
This is wild. As a woman the low perceived control produced depression/despair instead. Fascinating how varied the response can be
i just wan't to run this situation by you. I got fired from my job, because someone lied about smelling alcohol on me. i know it was a lie because i had never been around that person on that day. when i try to argue that I'm sober and i need should be tested, I'm refused the test and sen't home. the next morning i am fired citing that there is too much evidence. when i make request for that evidence I'm men't with silence, when i have a lawyer request that evidence for the investigation he is meant with silence. it's been 6 months now and still i have no answers as to why i was fired or the justification used in order to fire me. I'm worried about even applying for other jobs because pending this investigation determines weather i will be able to continue to work in my profession. i still do but when I'm asked about why i was let go i don't know how to explain it because i don't have any details on why any of it happened in the first place. So how do i overcome people just refusing to speak to solve a problem.
Multiple times in the video he says "the perception of low control CREATES the problems in your life" and "it's not a mindset thing" but I'm having trouble seeing how the first can be true without the 2nd. Maybe a metaphor or example would have helped me get it but…
The ways I tried to understand that were "Because you perceive problems to be harder than they are, you don't try to tackle the ones you don't see a hope of fixing. Some of these problems, when not solved, create more problems." Or possibly "The failure to solve them reinforces your perception that they were beyond you, and so the hidden anxiety value gets even bigger for the next one, until you're too paralyzed to do anything you haven't done before. Because anything you don't have 'proof' that you can do, looks impossibly difficult."
But those conclusions don't feel like they fit with the whole video. I'm almost certain I'm missing something but am not sure what it is. Did anyone else get confused by that insistence it wasn't a mindset thing?
I had a female friend go through breakup and woke up with real chest pains. She wasn’t someone that express her emotions as well as feminine females. She has a very logical brain. So she could have had male-type anxiety? Needless to say her decision to break-up was more logical and “selfless” than emotional. Her head knew it but her heart couldn’t take it.
This sounds like my Father, he definitely has this
Just get big biceps
It’s a shame that most men will never get to hear this wonderful content. So educative.
TRUE THIS! I remember being soooooooo anxious as a young man. No offense to women , I remember women laughing at male anxiety, but they don’t realize that they are relatively have a SUPPORT SYSTEM compared to men…
Makes me feel sho much better knowing that lizards just as stressed 11:45
