In this episode, I am starting a new series where I am going to discuss recovery and debunk some common misconceptions.

In this episode I want to offer an analogy for how to interact with the voice in our mind.

In this episode, I want to discuss a common idea that comes up a lot with my clients, the idea of wishing their experience with OCD & Anxiety was different.

In this episode, I want to talk about the importance of how we treat ourselves and how we talk to ourselves, especially during the recovery process. When you are dealing with high levels of Stress & Anxiety it is important not to make it worse by getting down on yourself or beating yourself up.

It is being set off by intrusive thoughts or “what if scenarios” about the past and future. The point being that your alarm system is trying to move you into survival mode when there is no danger.
