In this episode, I'm talking about eating disorders, what they are, the different kinds, why they develop, what are at their core and how you can support your child. My guest is Dr. Elizabeth Easton who is an expert in this area. She wants you to know that there is hope for those who are suffering, those that love them, and treatment is possible. Dr. Easton talks about how our kids are navigating a stressful world and temporarily, eating disorders can allow a person to feel soothed, in control, avoid something bad from happening and feel less overwhelmed. The fact is that eating disorders are the second highest cause of death among youth, with opioids being at the top. If you are worried about your child, Dr. Easton explains how to talk to them so they feel safe talking to you. If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, please share this episode, it could save a life.

Join me each week as I attempt to say something. These somethings will be a time for story telling, a time for experience share and whatever comes out of my mouth.

Why Do I Feel More Anxious at Night? The quiet hours can bring a lot of internal chatter, and here's how to deal with it. Whenever you try to fall asleep at night, many anxious thoughts and embarrassing memories come racing into your mind, preventing you from drifting off. Why does this happen, and can you do anything about it? Experts say that whether you're throbbing through tomorrow's to-do list or dwelling on past regrets, it's normal for worries and fears to surface at night. According to an October 2022 survey of 3,192 adults in the United States, 34 per cent of respondents reported feeling anxious or nervous within the past month. And 32 per cent said that their stress had led to changes in their sleeping habits, including difficulties with falling asleep. However, there is an evolutionary purpose to evening anxiety, said Dr. Rafael Pelayo, a clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences in sleep medicine at Stanford Medicine and author of the book, “How to Sleep.” “Sleep is the most dangerous thing we can do,” he said, and being hyper-aware of our surroundings allowed our ancestors to spot any incoming threats. But when your anxiety keeps you awake, you not only miss out on the health benefits of sleep, you might kick off a vicious cycle of poor sleep routine and increased stress that can be hard to break. “Sleep loss is often a precursor for anxiety disorders, and anxiety leads to sleep loss,” said Dr. Sarah Chellappa, a neuroscientist at the University of Cologne in Germany. Here's what the experts say you can do if your overactive mind keeps you awake. The cruel connection between anxiety and sleep Anxiety can surface at any time, but there are a few reasons it may feel more intense at bedtime, said Candice Alfano, director of the Sleep and Anxiety Center at the University of Houston. “Most of us are incredibly busy during the waking hours; our attention is pulled in many different directions, so we have limited time to think about our worries,” she said.  “But at night, while we lie in bed, there are few distractions from the thoughts that make us anxious.” This can lead to a frustrating problem: We can't sleep because those anxious thoughts make us think we are unsafe, making us more alert by raising our heart rates and tightening our muscles. Essentially, the body can't quite tell if the source of our troubles is a physical threat, like a tiger about to pounce, or an upcoming presentation you're nervous about making at school — it just gets the memo to stay awake. At a basic level,” Dr. Pelayo said, “feeling in danger or under stress is the same mechanism in the brain.” Worse, sleep loss has been shown to produce more anxious thoughts. In a 2019 review published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews, researchers concluded that insomnia was a significant predictor of anxiety, among other mental health conditions.  The researchers explained that sleep helps us distinguish between threatening and safe, so we aren't as good at responding to stress, fear and anxiety, without adequate sleep. This could, in turn, mean more negative thoughts that can interfere with shut-eye. The good news is that solid sleep can also make your anxiety better over time, experts say. How to slow anxious thoughts at night Since better sleep helps decrease anxiety, general good sleep hygiene practices — like going to bed and waking up at the exact time every day and avoiding any blue light technology before bedtime — can help on both fronts, Dr. Alfano said. The tips below, however, might help you reduce anxious bedtime thinking. Caffeine is a stimulant. Caffeine's half-life is approximately five hours, meaning if you have an eight-ounce cup of coffee at 4 p.m., you'll still have half that cup's caffeine in your system by 9 p.m. That's a problem because caffeine keeps you awake and is known for making anxiety symptoms worse,

Today's episode is a conversation in which Ellie Pike, host of the Mental Note podcast (this episode first aired on 2/27/23), and I discuss my adult ADHD diagnosis and the workarounds I've learned to get things done and function in my life. Join us! Show Highlights: KC's background as a messy person whose life changed dramatically when her two children were born How KC had to learn how to keep a functional home in a totally new phase of life How an ADHD diagnosis as a young mother made sense of her whole life Why KC's ADHD diagnosis was “missed” during childhood and youth because she didn't “fit the mold” Why ADHD is NOT simply the inability to pay attention How success in school changed for KC during college when most of the work was to be done outside of class How ADHD affects what is going on in the brain, regardless of external behavior that may appear normal What KC has put in place to help her finish necessary tasks, even when they don't interest her The difference between motivation and task initiation–and why we treat them differently How ADHD medication changed everything for KC Why late-diagnosed adults with ADHD usually hit some kind of barrier, event, or transition that brings everything to a crisis point The connection between KC's depressive episodes and isolation, under-stimulation, and boredom KC's advice for listeners about creating systems that work WITH your brain: “Do a little, and do it as a person that deserves to function.” Why KC's message is that “care tasks are morally neutral” and have nothing to do with someone being a worthwhile human being  Resources: Connect with Ellie Pike and find out more about the Eating Recovery Center and Mood and Anxiety Center: www.mentalnotepodcast.com   Connect with KC: TikTok, Instagram, and Website  Get KC's book, How to Keep House While Drowning

It's "the most wonderful time of the year", but not for everyone. Joining us for the final bonus podcast of 2022, our guest Kaylee Kron works as a community outreach liaison for Eating Recovery Center and Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center. With her 10 years in social work and grief counseling, we wanted to have a conversation about the loneliness of grief, especially during the holiday season. Kaylee has practical advice for how we can help support those who are grieving and how we can get curious about our own emotions and grief. Luke and Kaylee also share a little about parenting kids that are equipped with the emotional skills and language they need for future experiences with grief. — Connect with us on social media: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn Connect with Kaylee: @the.exhausted.millennial For more information about loneliness & the work we do here at Only7Seconds: www.only7seconds.com For additional resources from Pathlight Eating Disorders and Mood & Anxiety Center, visit their website: www.pathlightbh.com — Music written & produced: Dash8

Four years ago Jayne Mattingly discovered something was seriously wrong with her health. Not only was she starting to see a loss of mobility, but physicians told her these physical limitations would only progress for the rest of her life. For this former dancer and self-described “doer,” losing mobility was devastating news. Jayne leaned heavily on the wisdom she'd cultivated earlier in life when recovering from anorexia to cope with her uncertain future. Today, we'll talk with Jayne about shifting the relationship with her body. From feelings of anger and betrayal to a place where gratitude can exist alongside grief. She'll reveal a few of her best strategies for living a values-centered life while also grappling with her own ableism and chronic illness. 
 We'll also chat with Eating Recovery Center Nutrition Director Kathryn Johnson about mindful movement for different ability levels. ________________________________ Mental Note Podcast is brought to you by Pathlight Mood and Anxiety Center and Eating Recovery Center.

At the beginning of 2020 Mackenzie Carmichael flew to Eating Recovery Center in Denver, Colorado determined to finally overcome a persistent eating disorder. The plan was to slowly step down from residential treatment to an outpatient program where she would commute to therapy and meals several times a week as her healing progressed.  However, the growing pandemic soon placed extra restrictions on that traditional outpatient model. So, her treatment team pivoted and instead recommended attending ERC & Pathlight's Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (VIOP).  In today's episode, we'll explore Mackenzie's experience doing treatment from her family's home and discover how VIOP impacted her recovery. We'll also speak with Brandi Stalzer, Director of Eating Recovery Center's virtual treatment program to better understand what goes into the patient experience.  ________________________________ Mental Note Podcast is brought to you by Pathlight Mood and Anxiety Center and Eating Recovery Center.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses suicide On March 11, 2005, Kevin Berthia became famous…For all the wrong reasons.

 As he stood on an exposed pipe - with only the wind holding him up from plunging into the waters below San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge - a photographer captured Kevin discussing his desire to attempt suicide with Sergeant Briggs of the California Highway Patrol. That photo landed on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle the very next day.  Today, Kevin's perspective is much different than 17 years ago. Rather than contemplating the end of his life, he now speaks up for mental health and suicide prevention with a message that has made it around the world. We sit down with Kevin to take a wild ride through his story and the serendipitous events that lead to becoming a nationally renowned storyteller. Along the way, we'll also chat with Dr. Thomas Joiner of Florida State University about depression, suicidal thoughts, and available tools to get help today.  If you or a loved one is in crisis, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK, or the Crisis Text Line (Text TALK to 741741) or to talk to someone who can help.

So perhaps your child - or even you or another adult - is really particular about food and refuses to eat but you just cannot understand why. You can tell their mealtime anxiety is not normal but how do you know if it adds up to a full-blown eating disorder?  That's why we made today's episode. It's an introduction to one of the least understood eating disorders - ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). ARFID remains underdiagnosed and can even be dismissed as simple picky eating. But ignoring it can have deadly consequences. So join us as we cover the basics about ARFID and the next steps needed for getting help: taking action, talking to doctors, and understanding different approaches to treatment. ________________________________ Mental Note Podcast is brought to you by Pathlight Mood and Anxiety Center and Eating Recovery Center.

Picture this: a warm July breeze stirs my hair as I sit on the back porch. My toddler, illuminated by moonlight and the twinkle of fireflies, gently spins in circles, hands waving in the air as she moves to the strumming of a guitar mixed with the call of cicadas in the trees. It's the sort of moment that feels infinitely removed from the typical noise of daily life. Here, there are no email alerts, traffic jams, or checklists. Only laughter and contentment. So, at the start of this new year, I'm asking, “how do I get more of these moments and less of the hamster wheel? How can I stop living on other people's terms and tune in to my inner voice?” To explore these questions, I can think of no one better than the strummer of the guitar from that moonlit summer night - my friend and 71-year-old neighbor - Vollie McKenzie. Vollie is a man of many outlets. He spent over 40 years as a mental health professional, plays tennis daily, and is a known performer in the Southeast. He also has a recovery journey of his own that includes life-long struggles with anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia. I invited him on the podcast to talk about the process of finding his own voice and how that intersects with his mental health journey. Along the way, Vollie will sing and play pivotal songs to guide the narrative. ________________________________ Mental Note Podcast is brought to you by Pathlight Mood and Anxiety Center and Eating Recovery Center.

It doesn't come as a surprise that most people want control in their lives, but the desire for it feeds anxiety.  When you can't control your environment, you get a gut feeling that something is wrong. It keeps you trapped and in fear of making a move. But if you're too focused on what you can't control, the opportunities for what you can are gone. In this episode, you'll learn how to loosen the grips on life and accept uncertainty for a new level of freedom.  Show highlights  include: How to stop demonizing your anxiety for a safer environment today (8:20) The most common anxiety disorders (15:19) How to let go of control and get in tune with your environment with the Evolutionary Perspective (19:55) How to accept things you can't change and let go of the suffering with the Marsha Linehan formula (22:42) The T.I.P.P. Way to cope through your next anxious moment (25:11) A mindful approach to feeling safer in the world and getting excited about new experiences (27:57) The surprising indicator that you're ready to seek help (and the first steps in getting there) (29:40)  ***INCREASE YOUR ENERGY IN 30 DAYS, RESOURCES, & SOCIAL LINKS*** Questions?

At first, Mimi Cole couldn't understand why she was so terrified of going to hell. She did all the right things, prayed often, and continually confessed sins but her fears only got worse. Pretty soon, she also began obsessing about accidentally running someone over with her car - what was going on?! Just as she started to feel crushed by cascading illogical behaviors, she received a diagnosis - OCD - and began working with a treatment team to get her life back. Now, this North Carolina grad student has taken her experiences and used them to spread mental health awareness as a social media influencer and clinician in training. We talk with Mimi about her journey and also hear from Dr. Charles Brady about what happens to someone with OCD and what treatment options are available to help people find recovery.

Have you ever felt the need to hide your true self? Shame, fear, and self-hatred are powerful forces, and breaking free from them is worthy of the grandest party you can imagine. In celebration of pride month and the joy of self-expression, we're sitting down with choreographer and recovery advocate Ryan Walker Page to share his story of coming out, shedding shame, and finding recovery. Along the way, Ryan invites us to reconsider the parts of ourselves we are the most ashamed to reveal. In fact, he counts those "imperfections" as the precious source of wisdom that catapulted his successful career into working with people like Lil Nas X, Renee Zellweger, Samuel L Jackson, and many many more. In Ryan's world, coming out isn't just a singular event, but a beautiful lifelong unfolding.

In this episode we discussed his excellent new book, Overcoming Harm OCD: Mindfulness and CBT Tools for Coping with Unwanted Violent Thoughts. The form of Harm OCD that the book and our conversation focus on is what I've referred to as "Malevolence OCD," because it involves the fear not just of harming someone, but of being an evil person. (See this related blog post: Am I a Monster?) Topics we covered included: What Harm OCD is, and how it's relatively common The relief in knowing that what one is dealing with is a form of OCD The right treatment for Harm OCD Fears in Harm OCD: violence against others, self-harm, violence against children, and having a violent identity Common compulsions in Harm OCD The problem with trying to prove that obsessive fears are untrue, vs. the power of accepting uncertainty The role of avoidance and compulsive confessing in OCD The triggering effect of news about violent events and #metoo Distinguishing fear of self-harm from desire to harm oneself or others Fear of going insane Learning to live with the “spam email of the mind” False memory OCD What our brain learns from avoidance and reassurance Inhibitory learning versus habituation How Exposure and Response/Ritual prevention (ERP) works The role of mindfulness in OCD treatment Flooding scripts as a way to practice not doing compulsions The possibility of reassurance from exposures Lack of public awareness about Harm OCD Here's the Vice article that Jon mentioned: The Many Obsessions That Can Haunt a Person with OCD. Jon also said he has several blog posts on his website about Harm OCD; here's Part 1 of a series: Harm OCD Part 1.

There are many sources of Bay Area angst -- the high cost of housing, the high cost of living, homelessness, the threat of wildfires -- but traffic stands out as an especially sore spot. There’s just something about it that grinds on our nerves and makes all our other headaches even more difficult to deal with. And like those other challenges the traffic problem isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. On this edition of How to Bay Area, we speak to traffic experts of several stripes to find out how the traffic situation got so bad and what could be done to make it better.

Our guest on this episode of The Addicted Mind podcast is Jonathan Horowitz, founder and director of the San Francisco Stress and Anxiety Center. Jonathan is a clinical psychologist who studied anxiety research in graduate school before transitioning to being a clinician and opening the Stress and Anxiety Center. It is a misconception that anxiety is always a bad thing; in fact, our minds were built to experience healthy anxiety when our bodies sense that they need to be alert to their surroundings. Anxiety starts to become a problem when we cross the line from heeding the warnings of our anxiety and benefiting from it to worrying about our anxiety and taking steps to try to get rid of it.  A significant number of Johnathan’s clients are high-functioning, high-achieving individuals who may be having a difficult time coping with the pressures of their careers.  These individuals might develop behaviors like procrastination, avoidance, or even developing an addiction of some kind in order to numb the anxiety that they are feeling.  Anxiety can also be the result of giving up an addiction because the individual does not know what to do in place of their previous addiction. Jonathan’s advice to those dealing with problematic anxiety is to (1) connect your change in behavior to something that is powerfully meaningful to you, and (2) establish goals and values for your life that involve emotional and cognitive steps or milestones.  The goals can be achieved through mindfulness meditation training, breath work, cognitive restructuring, or other practices as directed by a clinician.  Above all, it is crucial to know that anxiety, whether it is manifested in panic attacks, phobias, or social anxiety, is treatable, so seek the help you need.
