Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Why is it so hard to deal with uncertainty, and what does that have to do with hoarding? This week I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack how our brains handle ambiguity, why fear of making mistakes can keep us stuck, and how intolerance of uncertainty feeds into hoarding behaviours. We break down practical ways to build up your tolerance for not knowing and share some strategies that might actually make a difference. Uncertainty and Its Challenges Definition and context of uncertainty Evolutionary reasons for discomfort with uncertainty (Selfish Brain Theory) Contrast between historical resource scarcity and modern abundance Our minds' outdated ways of managing uncertainty Cognitive Closure What is cognitive closure? Difference between cognitive closure (psychological need for definite answers) and “closure” in pop culture (emotional resolution) How it relates to need for certainty in present/future, not just past events The creation of cognitive closure measurement scales by researchers Factors influencing need for cognitive closure: Personality traits: Conscientiousness, neuroticism (now called emotionality), openness to experience, extroversion Trauma history and its effects on the nervous system Neurodivergence (with emphasis on autism and “sticky thinking”) Combination of personality, trauma, and neurodivergence Intolerance of Uncertainty Psychological definition of intolerance of uncertainty Negative cognitive bias: How it affects perception and response Manifestations in people experiencing uncertainty as distress Its direct relevance to hoarding behaviours The Link Between Hoarding Disorder and Intolerance of Uncertainty Research findings: intolerance of uncertainty as a predictor of hoarding symptom severity Usefulness in early intervention strategies intolerance of uncertainty as a transdiagnostic factor (across anxiety, some depression, and other mental health conditions) How heightened anxiety sensitivity in hoarding perpetuates avoidance Experiential avoidance in hoarding (saving and acquiring behaviours) Connection between maladaptive behaviours and intolerance of uncertainty Fear of Making Mistakes and Perfectionism Common fears of mistakes in hoarding (disposing, acquiring, putting things away) Perfectionism's role (fear of failure, not wasting) All-or-nothing thinking and rigid decision-making rules Paralysing effect of avoidance due to fear of mistakes Not making a decision as a potential mistake itself Interaction and reinforcement between perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty Comorbidity and Severity Research on multiple diagnoses: More than half of psychiatric patients have more than one diagnosis Diagnostic challenges and overlapping criteria How comorbidity compounds issues: More symptoms and more complexity Higher intolerance of uncertainty linked with more severe hoarding, especially when other conditions are present Impact on treatment difficulty intolerance of uncertainty's Impact on Acquiring and Discarding Behaviours How acquiring reduces fear of missing out and future needs Difficulty discarding as protection against future regret Shame around mistake-making Common inner questions: Future use, responsibility, relationships More complexity leading to more avoidance Nuances in intolerance of uncertainty and Hoarding Study on sub-factors of uncertainty: Factor 1: Negative self-referential implications (linked to hoarding severity) Factor 2: Perception of uncertainty as unfair (not linked) Internal vs. external perspectives on uncertainty Relevance of anxiety-driven self-criticism Changing Relationship to Uncertainty: Curiosity and Reframing Rilke's quote on “loving the questions” Transforming approach from fear to curiosity Curiosity as a therapeutic tool Creativity in imagining alternatives and solutions Relevance of loss aversion and cognitive biases Modern Life and Uncertainty Intolerance Research linking increased use of technology (instant answers) to rising intolerance of uncertainty Smartphone/information overload and decreased tolerance “muscle” Relevance to hoarding (desire for backups, information saving) Example: IMDb, screenshots, saving digital info Treatment Strategies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) effects on intolerance of uncertainty in anxiety Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and exposure-based methods: Pros and cons Importance of a therapist experienced in error-related distress and uncertainty Key skills: Observing distress, sitting with uncomfortable feelings, gradual exposure Self-help approaches: Reframing mistakes as learning Practicing self-compassion Values-based decision-making Systematic exposure to small errors Gradually breaking rigid rules (e.g., waste, tidiness) Recognising individual differences and seeking appropriate support Embracing Mistakes and Humanity Learning from therapist/client anecdotes Cultural expectations around perfectionism vs. real human messiness How mistakes can be positive or even entertaining Letting go of the need for perfection The Four Cs for Managing Uncertainty From Elizabeth Weingarten: Curiosity, Conversation, Community, Commitment How to foster each: Curiosity: Approach with questions and exploration Conversation: Discuss uncertainties with trusted people Community: Build social support Commitment: Dedication to exploring questions and knowing when to let go Links Hillman, S.

Award winning authors Jeff Ayers and Jon Land team up to co-author the National Park Thriller series, the latest of which is Cold Burn. The series is driven by a federal agent, Michael Walker, who is assigned to the National Park Service to investigate crime within the parks. Walker is reeling from the loss of his wife in incident that also left him injured requiring a prosthetic limb. Walker is drawn into a series of incidents ranging from the Everglades to Glacier Bay where unexplained deaths are occurring--and Walker finds a single element might be the link between them. Can he recover from his grief and injury? Will an Indigenous People work with someone from outside their community? A fast paced thriller with a mix of international intrigue, richly drawn characters, and a plot that seems all too possible. Jeff Ayers talks about how the Michael Walker character came to him, why the series is set in the National Park system, and the process of writing with another author.

In this series, we are looking at the life of Elijah, a prophet who appears in 1 Kings at a time where the nation of Israel was led away to the worship of false gods. Their attitude towards The Lord, Yahweh, was apathetic and disinterested. His life shows us what it looks like to remain faithful to the One True God in a world that puts faith in other things. Tonight, we see that remaining faithful means confronting the idol. It means identifying the things in our lives that have pulled away our worship and coming back to the only one who is worthy of it.- Get off the fence- Consider who you call on- Repair the altarMetro exists to help young adults see the beauty of Jesus and seek to know Him personally.

Erika Ayers Badan isn't here to polish the truth—she's here to say it louder. In this first of a two-part series, the current CEO of Food52 and former CEO of Barstool Sports breaks down the raw realities behind her debut book, No One Cares About Your Career. From writing on commuter trains to fielding hundreds of workplace questions a week, Erika shares why her advice hits different—because it's honest, hard-earned, and hyper-relevant for a Gen X audience still rewriting the rulebook. This isn't a pep talk. It's a reset.>>The Title That Says It All“It's not just a title—it's the truth.”Erika reveals how No One Cares About Your Career went from a casual comment to the book's heartbeat—and why it resonates across industries, generations, and inboxes.>>When Creativity Gets Crushed“I went from running wild to daily reforecasts and regulatory meetings.”She opens up about the moment corporate structure smothered her spark—and how writing a book on the train became a lifeline back to creative energy.>>The Mid-Chapter Career Book“This isn't for the lost or the legends. It's for the people in the messy middle.”Erika explains who the book is for—and why it's not another glossy manifesto or three-step self-help trick.>>The Five Things That Actually Matter at Work“Who you are. What you offer. How you show up. What you do with your time. And how much you care.”Forget the buzzwords. Erika distills 25 years of media, tech, and executive leadership into five brutally simple career rules.>>Mentoring at Scale“I get 200 questions a week—and I try to answer every one.”She shares how social media became her advice desk, what Gen Z is most worried about, and why transparency—not perfection—is the new leadership currency._____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Erika Ayers Badan  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In the second half of her conversation, Erika Ayers Badan—CEO of Food52, former CEO of Barstool Sports, board leader, media powerhouse, and author of _No One Cares About Your Career_—lets us behind the curtain. From negotiating screen time as a kid to rewriting the rules as a high-profile executive, she reflects on how grit, autonomy, and unfiltered curiosity shaped everything—from her parenting to her management style. She shares why she no longer chases titles, what failure really teaches us, and why today's “toxic culture” talk often needs more clarity than cancellation. For Gen Xers raising kids, leading teams, or just trying to keep their values intact in a noisy world, this episode is the deep breath you didn't know you needed.>>The Original Streaming Negotiation“My brother and I shared one hour of TV a week. That's how I learned to negotiate.”Erika reflects on the creative, disciplined upbringing that shaped her independence—and how it made her a better leader, dealmaker, and parent.>>Titles Are Overrated. Impact Isn't.“I cared about titles in my 20s. Now I care about purview.”She explains why chasing titles is a trap—and why real career growth is measured in responsibility, resilience, and reach.>>Fail Always Mode“If you feel like you're failing, it means you care—and you're trying something new.”Erika breaks down why failure isn't just tolerable—it's necessary. And why she rewards effort over perfection every time.>>Culture > Buzzwords“I'm allergic to gossip, inertia, and pontificating.”From toxic culture to real collaboration, Erika shares her no-BS filter for building teams that do the work and actually like doing it.>>Gen Alpha, Gen X, and the Parenting Gap“I worry their advantages are actually disadvantages.”She gets honest about parenting kids in a hyper-stimulated world—and why she's racing the clock to instill resilience before the clay hardens._____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Erika Ayers Badan  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

His music inspired me to play more Jazz Funk in my sets and his amazing journey across 6 decades of amazing music gave us the soundtrack to our lives. The Who? Roy Edward Ayers Jr. (September 10, 1940 – March 4, 2025) was an American vibraphonist, record producer, and composer. Ayers began his career as a post-bop jazz artist, releasing several studio albums with Atlantic Records, before his tenure at Polydor Records beginning in the 1970s, during which he helped pioneer jazz-funk. He is a key figure in the acid jazz movement, and has been described as "The Godfather of Neo Soul". He is best known for his compositions "Everybody Loves the Sunshine", "Lifeline", and "No Stranger to Love" and others that charted in the 1970s. At one time Ayers was listed among the performers whose music was most often sampled by rappers.
