Over the years, I have come across a number of videos that I found calming, grounding, helpful, or thought-provoking during periods of stress, anxiety, questioning, or recovery after involvement in a high-control environment. I’ve gathered a few of them here in case they may also be helpful to others.

Some focus on emotional regulation; others explore anxiety, trauma, self-reflection, sleep, or existential concerns.

Please don’t prejudge this video by the screenshot. If you are struggling emotionally or feeling hopeless, you may find this thoughtful discussion by renowned existential psychotherapist Emmy van Deurzen helpful.
