Is Exposure Therapy Traumatizing? (Episode 180)
Send a question or comment via text message Is exposure therapy traumatizing? It's a question we hear often, and one that makes some therapists hesitate to use exposure at all. This week we take it on directly, with the caveat that this is our clinical opinion and not a substitute for care tailored to you. We talk about the difference between a crisis, where your ability to cope is temporarily overwhelmed, and trauma, and why intense fear or discomfort doesn't automatically mean someone has b...

Anxiety and The Obsession With Optimizing EVERYTHING (Episode 179)
Send a question or comment via text message Optimization OCD seems to be a thing. Actually, across a large number of anxious people, the pull to get recovery, sleep, food, fitness, and even your own feelings exactly right is pretty common. This week we're talking about the drive to optimize recovery ... or anything. We talk about how "I should" is an anxious thought, why optimizing can mean sending yourself dozens of daily messages that you're not good enough as you are, and why "am I doing t...

Courage When Anxiety Feels Really Bad (Episode 178)
Send a question or comment via text message "Yeah, but it feels so bad." We hear it constantly, and this week we answer it directly. When panic, dread, or intrusive thoughts are at full volume, how do you practice willful tolerance? This is where courage enters the chat. We talk about why waiting to feel less scared first keeps the cycle going, why brave people are usually terrified, and why fear and danger only feel linked when you have an anxiety disorder. We also get into what ...

Depersonalization and Derealization w/Dr. Claudia Hallett (Episode 177)
Send a question or comment via text message Depersonalization and derealization (DPDR) can feel like not recognizing yourself in the mirror, or like living behind a pane of glass. This week, clinical psychologist Dr. Claudia Hallett joins us. She leads a specialist DPDR clinic in London and works with this condition full time. We talk about why the experience is so hard to describe, and why that makes it fertile ground for catastrophic interpretation (“I’m losing my mind,” “I’ve broken my bra...

Cognitive Reframing in Anxiety Disorders (Episode 176)
Send a question or comment via text message Cognitive reframing in anxiety disorders is not about arguing with a thought until it loses. This week we take some of the most common phrases we hear in this community and look at them from a slightly different angle, without trying to prove them wrong or talk anyone into feeling safe. We work through "I'm spiraling," "what if," "I'm back to square one," "I'm a burden to my family," and "what if I lose my progress," and talk about why a reframe you...

Meditations on Anxiety Medications (Episode 175)
Send a question or comment via text message 175 episodes in, we're finally talking about medication. This week we get into questions we hear constantly: if I take medication for my anxiety, does that mean I'm failing, or that I'll never really recover? Is medication cheating? Is it evil? Is there even an answer to these questions? We talk about why these questions don't even really hold up, why medication combined with therapy is genuinely the gold standard for treating some anxiety dis...

Exposure Is Learning To Be Uncomfortable (Episode 174)
Send a question or comment via text message Exposure isn't about proving you can sit in traffic, go to the supermarket, or make it through dinner with a friend. This week we talk about what exposure is actually for: practicing being uncomfortable, on purpose, without trying to fix or manage the feeling once it shows up. We get into why the specific trigger, whether it's a bridge, a dentist's office, or a work presentation, barely matters compared to the discomfort underneath it, why reaching ...

Making It Right Once You're Better? (Episode 173)
Send us Fan Mail Once you're better, desensitized, and living your life again, a different feeling can show up: guilt over the years you lost, the plans you canceled, the people you pushed away. This week we talk about the urge to "make it right," and why that instinct deserves a closer look before you act on it. We get into the difference between amends that actually help and rumination dressed up as responsibility, why some of that guilt simply has to be carried rather than fixed, and why t...
