In today's episode of Overpowering Emotions, I discuss hoarding disorder and key areas of intervention.

There are many areas that need to be addressed to be effective in helping individuals with hoarding. First, we need to have a strong working relationship with the individual. Trust, collaboration, and listening to their story is key. Having a thorough understanding of what is going on for them within their unique context is also important to develop a personal model about hoarding.

With that understanding, we can then design an effective systems-based treatment plan that includes boosting motivation, skill-building, rewiring the brain, and generalizing skills.

Be sure to check out today's episode to hear specific details about effective treatment planning!

As I start looking at other specific anxiety-related challenges, today I focus on Hoarding Disorder.

While I take a transdiagnostic approach and focus on the process of anxiety itself, there are some anxiety-related challenges that require additional considerations. And hoarding is one of them.

Today is Part I of this series where I take a look at hoarding and what maintains hoarding behaviours. Once we understand the maintaining variables, we can deep dive into what to do to help.

I have received lots of questions asking whether screens can contribute to anxiety.

Screens have become a large part of our everyday life. Although there are recommended guidelines for screen use, most kids get fare more access than they should. And its only gotten worse since COVID.

Unfortunately, screens affect kids’ cognitive, social, and emotional development, as well as their physical and mental health. It affects sleep, memory and learning, mood, anxiety, and behaviour.

Wondering if your child is getting too much screentime (and having problems managing it)? Check out this SCREENER and see.

Listen in on today's episode to learn more!

I am so excited for today’s episode, as it is the first time I have another guest on the show. 

In today’s episode, Kristy and I talk about her journey learning to manage anxiety and feeling the need for "more" when it came to seeking help for her own anxiety.

We swing the conversation over to parenting and how critical it is to manage our own anxiety as parents to support our anxious children effectively. And how we can respond in helpful ways when their anxiety shows up!

And, inevitably, we discuss the influence screens have on kids' emotional well-being and the need to set healthy boundaries around screen time use. Kristy shares great tips to think about – be sure to listen in!

Meet Kristy!

I am still talking about how to make the brain more resistant to anxiety. Today is a critical piece that is often skipped over. Acceptance. Without acceptance, other strategies you try, such as mindfulness, may only make anxiety worse.  Listen in to hear why!
