If you’re anything like me, you might have a bit of a love-hate relationship with fear. Even though I’m a therapist who specializes in anxiety, I’ve always found fear fascinating. As a kid, I used to dream about being part of the horror movie world, and today, I still think there’s something to be learned from those spooky films. Whether you love the thrill of a scary movie or can’t wait for Halloween to be over, there’s a valuable lesson to take away from horror: The more we run from fear, the more powerful it becomes.
In this blog, I’m going to explore how fear works, what horror movies can teach us about handling anxiety, and how to use strategies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to face fear head-on and shrink it down to size.

If you’re anything like me or many of the people I work with, you’ve likely found yourself stuck in a never-ending cycle of overanalyzing or ruminating over every little detail—past, present, or future. You think and think, hoping to find the right answer, the perfect solution, or some sense of certainty, but instead, you just end up feeling more overwhelmed and anxious. Have you ever felt like overthinking fuels your anxiety? I bet you have!
Today, we’re going to talk about these thought patterns, known as mental compulsions. This includes things like overanalyzing, excessive worrying, ruminating, and trying to figure out every scenario in your head. I’ll explain why these behaviors keep you trapped in a spiral and, most importantly, how you can start breaking free.

Today, we’re diving into a topic that could change the way you think about mental health care. We’re going to explore the stepped care model, or stepped care approach—what it is, why it’s crucial, and why traditional therapy may not always be the best or only option for everyone. Here’s a little spoiler: high-quality self-help can be just as effective—if not more so—for certain individuals.
Before we dive in, it’s important to understand that everything I’m sharing today is backed by research. We’re not just talking theories here; we’re discussing evidence-based approaches that have been proven to work. So, let’s get into it.

Hey everyone, welcome back! Today, we’re diving into a crucial topic, especially if you or someone you know has been struggling with OCD, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts. We’re going to talk about why traditional talk therapy—where talking is the main, and sometimes the only, intervention—isn't enough to help you overcome these issues. Talk therapy doesn't work for OCD and anxiety most of the time (and can often make things worse).
Before you panic, let me clarify: not all forms of therapy that involve talking are bad. Far from it! Therapies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) involve a lot of talking, but they also include structured interventions that are important for real progress. Let’s dig into why traditional talk therapy, as I’m defining it, just doesn’t cut it for OCD and anxiety, and explore some evidence-based strategies that do work.
Here's a little preview of what we'll cover:
• What Talk Therapy really is
• Why talk therapy alone doesn't work for OCD
• What works for OCD and anxiety instead
