In this guided loving-kindness meditation, I walk you through a powerful self-compassion practice designed to help you soften self-criticism, support the anxious parts of yourself, and cultivate a kinder relationship with your mind.

In this episode, I sit down with OCD therapist and scrupulosity specialist Justin Hughes to explore how religious OCD can hijack faith, why common attempts to find certainty often make things worse, and what true recovery can look like.

In this episode, I explain one of the most overlooked aspects of OCD: mental compulsions. While many people recognize compulsions as visible behaviors like checking, washing, or arranging things, mental compulsions happen internally and can be much harder to identify. These can include rumination, mental reviewing, counting, praying, catastrophizing, or repeatedly trying to figure something out in order to reduce anxiety, uncertainty, or discomfort.

In this episode, I sit down with Drew Linsalata to explore the "Exception Clause," the sneaky anxiety trick that convinces us our fears are the one exception to everything we've learned about recovery.

In this episode, I share the three hidden ways anxiety can quietly take over your relationships, and how CBT, ERP, and ACT can help you build deeper connection without letting anxiety call the shots.

Summary: In this episode, I talk about how self-criticism can quietly interfere with recovery and healing. So many people believe being hard on themselves will motivate them to do better, but in reality, constant self-judgment often increases anxiety, lowers confidence, and makes it harder to move forward. I walk through some common signs of self-criticism, including harsh self-talk, perfectionism, difficulty accepting compliments, and feeling guilt or shame over even small setbacks.

In this episode, I'm sharing the nine core things I teach every OCD client in their very first therapy session to help them better understand recovery, build confidence in ERP, and begin responding differently to intrusive thoughts.

In this episode, I sit down with Paul Gilmartin to talk about the hidden fear of "not being enough," how it quietly fuels anxiety and shame, and what actually helps us heal from it.

Summary: In this episode, I explain why your brain can get stuck replaying thoughts, searching for answers, and trying to feel certain before it can move on. So often, people think they have an overthinking problem, but the real issue is that the brain has learned that solving equals safety. Every time you analyze, replay, or try to "figure it out" to get relief, your brain learns to keep sending you back into the same cycle.
