Living with OCD isn't just about managing anxiety—it's about reclaiming your life through your values. In this powerful episode of the OCD Whisperer Podcast, host Kristina Orlova welcomes OCD therapist Lennon Jones, founder of Golden Hour OCD and Anxiety, to explore how personal values bring clarity, purpose, and resilience to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.   ERP, first line treatment for OCD treatment, can often feel grueling, especially when it's reduced to simply "sitting with anxiety." Lennon shares why this approach can feel torturous without an internal compass—and how integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) shifts the focus from fear to meaning. Together, Kristina and Lennon unpack how clarifying your values (like connection, creativity, or service) can turn exposures from hollow tasks into empowering acts of self-trust.   They dive into psychological flexibility, the antidote to OCD's rigid thinking, and offer real-life examples of how values-based actions—even small ones—can help you live with purpose, despite intrusive thoughts. Whether you're just starting treatment or navigating setbacks, this episode offers hope, compassion, and actionable guidance for building a life driven by what matters most.   Tune in to learn how to stop living for certainty—and start living for your values. The 3 things you'll learn in  today's episode: What makes OCD treatment feel torturous—and how a simple mindset shift can change everything The surprising mistake many people make with exposure therapy (and what to do instead). Why saying “maybe I am a terrible person” might actually be the path to healing.

Like you can't reach a certain level of perfection in the value." — Lennon   [13:59] "Psychological flexibility... is the goal of exposure therapy. We want to be more flexible in these situations. We want to just enjoy our lives." — Lennon   [21:58] "I'm open about my OCD.

In this episode, I speak with Matt about his evolution as a therapist, researcher, and founder of New Harbinger Publications. Originally trained in Gestalt therapy, Matt transitioned to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) after discovering its effectiveness in addressing his own anxiety—and its ability to offer more structured tools for change. From there, his work expanded into third-wave CBTs like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), especially as he sought to support clients experiencing complex emotional challenges, trauma, and persistent distress that weren't always responsive to traditional CBT protocols. We discuss the development of a transdiagnostic and precision-based approach to therapy, centered on identifying specific mechanisms such as emotional and cognitive avoidance. Matt explains how treatment can be tailored using interventions like emotion exposure, mindfulness, and cognitive diffusion to address each client's unique coping profile—an approach supported by his work on the Comprehensive Coping Inventory. Matt also talks about the founding and mission of New Harbinger Publications, which pioneered the self-help workbook format grounded in evidence-based therapies. He shares insight into their newest tool, Therapy Assist, a digital resource for therapists to assign skills-based, diagnostic-specific homework. We delve into his clinic's current research on trauma treatment, including the effectiveness of combining ACT with EMDR and written exposure therapy. We also explore how trauma manifests physiologically and emotionally, and why traditional approaches often fall short when addressing complex PTSD, dissociation, or early attachment trauma. Matt reflects on integrating coping skills into ACT—an often debated topic—and describes his efforts to bridge therapeutic models like Schema Therapy and ACT. We explore how these integrations can support trauma clients in choosing value-based responses over automatic, schema-driven reactions. Throughout the conversation, we reflect on the growing movement toward precision therapy—individualized, mechanism-targeted, and empirically grounded. Dr. McKay's work continues to shape how therapists understand suffering and resilience, and how they can empower clients with the tools to navigate both. Dr. Matthew McKay is a clinical psychologist, professor at the Wright Institute, founder of New Harbinger Publications, and author of research and over 40 books on CBT, ACT, trauma, and emotional healing, including Mind and Emotions, The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook, and Emotion Efficacy Therapy. He cofounded the Haight Ashbury Psychological Services agency in 1979 and served as its Clinical Director for 25 years and is currently the co-director of the Bay Area Trauma Recovery Clinical Services (BATRCS). Matt's interests extend to writing poetry, fiction, and music, and he has a published novel and two books of poetry.

Story at-a-glance Two-thirds of chronic back pain sufferers became pain-free or nearly pain-free after just four weeks of pain reprocessing therapy Psychological therapy rewires how your brain processes pain, reducing activity in brain regions that amplify fear and threat A large clinical trial found that belief shifts — specifically learning that pain isn't a sign of injury — were strongly tied to lasting relief from chronic back pain Functional MRI scans confirmed that therapy changed not just symptoms, but the brain's physical pain networks and emotional circuits You can begin retraining your brain at home using CBT-based strategies, guided movement, and tools that target fear-pain loops

In this ongoing podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners to explore how working with the Akashic Records has transformed their lives. We discuss topics such as: what it means to "hear the call of the Records" (and answer that call) the vast healing, personal evolution, and growth that happens when we activate the energy of the Akashic Records in our lives how the Akashic Records can help us fully awaken our intuitive, multidimensional, and healing gifts - both for ourselves and to serve others how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align fully with your highest purpose as a healer or lightworker   In this episode, I speak with Gretchen Hill, a certified Akashic Records Master Practitioner (through Josephine's certification program) and Transformational Coach who guides women entrepreneurs and professionals to break free from generational money blocks and reconnect with their True Self. After surviving a near-death car accident, Gretchen experienced a profound awakening that led her to leave a long-term marriage and a 22-year career in higher education. She discovered her Soul's purpose: to help women heal inherited money patterns rooted in ancestral trauma and scarcity. Gretchen's personal journey revealed deep, lineage-based beliefs—passed down through her Jewish ancestry—that kept her stuck in survival mode. Through forgiveness, ancestral healing, and intuitive guidance, she transformed her own story and now empowers others to do the same. Gretchen created the Multi-Generational Money Map™, a unique methodology that helps clients trace and release old money narratives, replacing them with abundant, soul-aligned beliefs. With advanced training in therapeutic modalities, including Internal Family Systems, CBT, Reiki, and psychosynthesis, she brings over a decade of experience in career counseling and a rich academic background in mental health and cultural geography.

Send us a textStrength isn't the absence of weakness—it's how we transform our challenges into growth. In this riveting conversation with leadership coach and author Becky Schmooke, we explore stoic philosophy as a misunderstood yet powerful tool for navigating life's inevitable obstacles.Becky shares her personal journey of using stoicism to overcome a twenty-year battle with bulimia, developing the STOA framework (Success, Targets, Obstacles/Opportunities, Action steps) that now helps everyone from executives to NFL players and first responders navigate high-pressure situations. Far from the emotionless stereotype, stoicism emerges as a practice of emotional awareness without emotional control."Leadership is a lifestyle, not a job title," Becky emphasizes, challenging conventional hierarchies with her SAFE framework that builds genuine capability rather than superficial "show muscles." Her approach transforms organizations from having "a team and a leader" to fostering "a team of leaders"—a critical distinction for environments where split-second decisions matter.The Japanese art of kintsugi—repairing broken pottery with gold—becomes a powerful metaphor for resilience throughout our discussion. When we acknowledge our breaks rather than hiding them, we become stronger precisely where we were once vulnerable. This principle applies powerfully to trauma recovery, offering a path beyond mere survival to genuine transformation.Whether you're leading a team, recovering from trauma, or simply trying to navigate life's complexities with more grace, Becky's practical frameworks provide immediate, actionable insights. Her husband, a fire captain, uses these same principles during emergency calls, demonstrating their real-world effectiveness under pressure.Ready to choose the handle that holds?

Creatine is one of the most well-researched and effective sports nutrition supplements for improving exercise performance. But that isn't what I'm going to talk about in this podcast episode. Instead, I want to give the spotlight to creatine's new moment in the sun thanks to evolving research linking it to improving brain and bone health. And then tying all this together, I'll profile why it may just be one supplement that women could especially benefit from over men during their reproductive lifespan and beyond.Links referred to in the podcastSystematic review of creatine supplementation and cognitive function 2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6093191Systematic review of creatine supplementation and cognitive function 2022 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9999677Systematic review of creatine supplementation and cognitive function 2024 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11275561Clinical trial of creatine supplementation and CBT in the treatment of depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39488067Review of creatine supplementation and its applications for brain health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10721691Dr Darren Candow on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dr.darrencandowClinical trial of creatine supplementation on bone health in post-menopausal women https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10487398Creatine supplementation in women's health: A lifespan perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7998865Episode transcriptTo access the full episode transcript, go to the following link and select the individual podcast episode and then click on the ‘Transcript' tab https://thinkingnutrition.buzzsprout.comConnect with meInstagram doctimcroweFacebook Thinking NutritionX CroweTim

The ancient wisdom that keeps coming back because it's true Athens, 399 BCE. Socrates holds the cup of hemlock, about to die for something that can't be proven - only known. The daimonion. The inner voice. The shamanic function that guides from beyond rational thought. 2,400 years later, we call it the unconscious. Or intuition. Or the default mode network. Same truth, different words: There's something in us that knows, and everything depends on whether we listen. This final episode reveals the perennial philosophy underlying all effective therapy. The wisdom that every culture discovers, then forgets, then rediscovers when the forgetting becomesunbearable. https://gettherapybirmingham.com/the-weird-history-of-psychotherapy-part-5-the-perennial-philosophy/ You'll learn: Why depression and anxiety might be evolutionary features, not bugs The eternal tension between warriors (order) and shamans (transformation) How modern neuroscience validates ancient insights about multiple selves Why we keep forgetting what works (hint: there's no profit in wholeness) The metamodern moment: learning to hold paradox in a polarized world What therapy looks like when it remembers we're shamanic beings From Socrates' inner voice to Jung's active imagination to modern parts work, the same insights keep emerging. Not because they're trendy, but because they're true. True like the sunrise. True like the need for love. True like the mystery we can never fully grasp but must learn to dance with.  

“Zdrowie psychiczne jest kluczowym elementem dobrostanu każdej osoby i społeczeństwa jako całości (Światowa Organizacja Zdrowia [WHO], 2021). Mimo to, w Polsce, jego znaczenie wciąż wydaje się marginalizowane. Według danych Organizacji Współpracy Gospodarczej i Rozwoju (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development [OECD], 2021) Polska przeznacza mniej niż 3% budżetu na zdrowie psychiczne, co stanowi znacznie mniej niż w krajach takich jak Wielka Brytania czy Niemcy, gdzie wskaźnik ten wynosi około 10–15%. Jest to alarmujące, szczególnie w obliczu danych WHO (2017), które wskazują na rosnącą liczbę osób z objawami depresji i zaburzeń lękowych w naszym kraju. Pomimo tej rosnącej potrzeby, niewielki odsetek Polek i Polaków korzysta z profesjonalnej pomocy psychologicznej czy psychiatrycznej. Jak wynika z raportu CBOS (2021), aż 40% Polaków uważa, że korzystanie z pomocy psychiatrycznej może prowadzić do stygmatyzacji. To przekonanie wynika z braku edukacji społecznej i utrzymujących się stereotypów, które utrudniają dostęp do pomocy. Strach przed oceną innych, a także niewiedza na temat dostępnych form wsparcia, dodatkowo pogłębiają problem.”Tak zaczyna się raport zrealizowany przez Instytutu Psychologii Państwowej Akademii Nauk pod tytułem DOBROSTAN PSYCHICZNY W POLSCE.

In this episode of Authentically ADHD, Carmen peels back the curtain on Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS)—sometimes called Sluggish Cognitive Tempo—to reveal why so many of us with ADHD feel stuck in a fog of daydreams, slow processing, and low energy. After a quick, relatable anecdote about spacing out in a meeting (and the panic that follows), we dive into what CDS actually is: a cluster of symptoms that overlaps with ADHD but isn't the same thing. You'll learn how CDS shows up differently than classic inattentive ADHD—think mental “brakes,” mind-wandering marathons, and that overwhelming sense that your brain is running underwater.Next, we explore how CDS can silently sabotage work, relationships, and self-esteem. Carmen shares listener stories—like the person who's constantly five steps behind in conversations or the professional whose “slow load time” makes presentations feel like climbing Everest. We unpack the neuroscience in digestible terms: what brain networks are under-activated, how dopamine dysregulation plays a role, and why meds that help “hyperactive” ADHD often fall short for CDS symptoms.Finally, we shift to practical strategies. You'll walk away with at least three tangible tools to test—everything from micro-bursts of movement to reframing your to-do list in ultra-small steps and scheduling “CDS-friendly breaks” before burnout sets in. By the end, you'll understand that those moments of mental fog aren't personal failings but part of a hidden ADHD subprofile—and you'll have a roadmap for bringing more focus, energy, and self-compassion into your lifeShow Notes: IntroductionHello and welcome! Today, we're diving into a fascinating and often underrecognized topic: Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome, or CDS. If that name doesn't ring a bell, maybe its older label will — Sluggish Cognitive Tempo. (Yeah, I know, it sounds like an insult you'd hurl at a slow computer.) In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what CDS really is, why it's not just “laziness” or ordinary daydreaming, and why experts say it deserves far more attention than it gets.Hook: Ever feel like your brain is running on dial-up internet in a high-speed world? You're trying to focus, but it's like there's a fog inside your head, and everything is moving in slow motion. Your thoughts wander off like they've got a mind of their own, and snapping back to reality is a bit like wading through molasses. If you're nodding along (or if someone you know comes to mind), you might be familiar with what we're talking about. And if you have ADHD or work with folks who do, you might have seen hints of this “slow-mo” attention state that often hides in plain sight.In this 25-30 minute episode, we'll cover: what exactly Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome is and its key symptoms (in plain, relatable language), how it overlaps with but isn't the same as ADHD, why it often gets misdiagnosed as something else (like depression or anxiety), and some practical, real-world tips for managing it. All of that with a professional tone and a little bit of sass — because learning should be engaging, right? So grab a coffee (you might need it for this topic!), and let's get started.What Is Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS)?All right, first things first: what on Earth is Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome? In a nutshell, CDS is a term that describes a unique set of attention symptoms — think of it as a “cousin” to ADHD, but with its own personality. It used to be known as “Sluggish Cognitive Tempo,” which frankly sounds like your brain is a slow turtle. No surprise, experts decided to rebrand it to something less snarky and more accurateen.wikipedia.orgmedvidi.com. Now we call it Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome, highlighting how the mind can seem to disengage from the task at hand.So what does CDS look like? Picture a person (child or adult) who is constantly drifting off into their own world. We're talking excessive daydreaming, blank staring, zoning out as if the lights are on but nobody's homeadditudemag.com. Their mind wanders like it's on an aimless road trip. They might appear mentally foggy, sluggish in their movements or thinking, and often slow to respond to what's happening around themedgefoundation.org. Folks with CDS often seem underactive – the opposite of hyperactive – and may be described as lethargic or low energy. You might notice them blinking awake as if they were literally about to nod off, even during activities that aren't boring for everyone else. In short, their alertness is inconsistent: one moment they're tuned in, but the next they've drifted away on a cloud of thoughtsedgefoundation.org.Another hallmark is being easily confused or mentally “fogged.” It's not that they can't understand things, but their processing speed is slow. Imagine trying to stream a video with a weak Wi-Fi signal – the content eventually comes through, but it lags. Similarly, a person with CDS might take longer to process information or retrieve memories, leading them to lose their train of thought oftenen.wikipedia.org. They might say, “Wait, what was I doing?” more times a day than they'd like.And here's a term researchers use that really nails it: being “internally distracted.” With classic ADHD, people are often pulled by external distractions (every noise, sight, or squirrel outside the window steals their attention). But with CDS, the distraction is coming from inside their own mind – an internal daydream or just a blank fog that is surprisingly hard to shakechadd.org. It's like their mind's “attention switch” is set to the off position when it should be on. They may appear withdrawn or apathetic, not because they don't care, but because their brain isn't fully engaging with what's in front of iten.wikipedia.org. This has led others to mislabel them as “lazy” or “not trying hard enough,” which is pretty unfair. In reality, CDS is a genuine attentional problem – one that's different from typical ADHD and definitely not a character flawpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.Let me give you a relatable example: Think about those mornings when you just can't wake up, and you stumble around in a coffee-deprived haze. You pour orange juice into your coffee mug and put your car keys in the fridge – your brain just isn't firing on all cylinders. That's a bit what CDS feels like all day long for some people. They're awake, but there's a persistent grogginess or dreaminess that makes every mental task feel like lifting weights in Jell-O.Now, you might be wondering how common this is. Research suggests that CDS symptoms are not rare at all. In fact, it's estimated that a significant chunk of people with ADHD – up to 40% of kids, by some estimates – also experience these CDS-type symptomsadditudemag.com. And it's not just in kids. Adults can have CDS as well (even if they never knew it had a name). It's been observed in roughly one-third of adults diagnosed with inattentive ADHD, for exampleedgefoundation.org. There are even cases of people who only have CDS without the more classic ADHD traits – they might have gone through life just labeled as the “spacey” or quiet ones.One important note: CDS is not officially listed as a diagnosis in the DSM-5, the big manual of mental disordersadditudemag.com. That means your doctor won't find “Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome” as a formal label to bill your insurance. But don't let that fool you into thinking it's not real. The concept has been studied by psychologists for decades, and there's a consensus in recent research that these symptoms cluster together in a meaningful wayadditudemag.compubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. In other words, something is going on here beyond just normal variation in attention. So even if it's not an official diagnosis yet, many clinicians recognize CDS (or SCT) as a very useful description for patients who have this particular profile.To summarize this segment: CDS, formerly known as sluggish cognitive tempo, refers to a pattern of chronic daydreaming, mental fog, slow processing, and low initiative that can seriously affect daily life. It's like the brain's engine is always idling in neutral – not because the person is willfully tuning out, but because their brain's ability to engage is, for lack of a better word, sluggish. Now that we know what it is, let's talk about how this compares to a condition you've definitely heard of: ADHD.How Does CDS Overlap with and Differ from ADHD?If you listened to that description of CDS and thought, “Hmm, some of that sounds like ADHD,” you're absolutely right. CDS has a lot of overlap with ADHD, especially the inattentive type. Both involve problems with attention, forgetfulness, and maybe looking off into space when you're supposed to be working. In fact, for years CDS (back when it was called SCT) was thought of as possibly just a subtype of ADHD. Many people with ADHD do have some CDS symptoms and vice versaedgefoundation.org. But here's the kicker: modern research indicates that CDS and ADHD aren't identical – they're more like siblings than twinsen.wikipedia.org. They share some DNA, but each has its own quirks.Let's start with the obvious difference: hyperactivity (or rather, the lack of it). ADHD famously often comes with hyperactivity and impulsivity (at least in the combined or hyperactive-impulsive presentations). Those are the folks who are fidgeting, tapping, jumping out of their seats, acting on impulse – their internal motor runs fast. In contrast, people with pure CDS are the polar opposite of hyperactive. Remember, another term for this was “sluggish” cognitive tempo. Instead of bouncing off the walls, someone with CDS might be melting into the wall, so to speak – quiet, slow-moving, and passiveen.wikipedia.org. They're not blurting out answers in class; they're the ones who may not answer even when you call on them, because their mind was elsewhere. One researcher humorously noted it's like comparing a race car (ADHD) to a slow cruiser (CDS) – one's got too much go, the other not enough.Attention differences: Both ADHD and CDS involve attention problems, but the type of attention problem differs. Here's a way to think about it: people with ADHD can engage their attention quickly but struggle to sustain it, especially if something isn't interesting – their attention is like a spotlight that flickers on exciting things but then fizzles outen.wikipedia.org. On the other hand, people with CDS have trouble even getting that spotlight to turn on and lock onto the target in the first placeen.wikipedia.org. It's as if the brain's ignition switch is delayed. Once they do focus, they might actually be able to stick with it a bit (especially if it's something captivating), but the hard part is that initial spark of attention. An ADHD student might start their homework and then get distracted by 10 different thoughts and leave it unfinished, whereas a CDS student might sit down to do the homework and spend 30 minutes in a haze, kind of staring at the page not even knowing where to begin. Both end up with not much done, but the mental experience is different.Another difference is processing speed and accuracy. ADHD folks can often think quickly (sometimes too quickly, leading to impulsive mistakes). But someone with CDS processes information more slowly and may be prone to more mistakes because their attention to detail is decoupled or laggingen.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.org. Think of it this way: if an ADHD brain is like a flashy smartphone that sometimes loses signal, a CDS brain might be like an older phone that has a constant delay – slower to open apps and occasionally freezes on a screen. Both might drop your call (metaphorically speaking) but for different technical reasons.Memory and retrieval can also feel different. ADHD's inattention often looks like forgetfulness due to distraction (you didn't remember the meeting because you were busy thinking about five other things). In CDS, forgetfulness might come from that fog – the information just never fully registered or gets stuck behind a mental cloud. People with CDS often say they feel like they have a “brain fog” or that they're in a constant daydream, which isn't typically how someone with classic ADHD would describe their attention (they might say theirs is like a ping-pong ball bouncing around).Now let's talk mood and motivation overlaps. ADHD is frequently linked with externalizing behaviors – meaning, some with ADHD might have impulsive anger outbursts, act without thinking, maybe develop conduct issues, or lean toward thrill-seeking. CDS, conversely, is more often linked with internalizing tendencies: anxiety, shyness, even depressive feelingsen.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.org. Why? Possibly because being in a fog and struggling quietly can dent your self-esteem or make social life harder, leading to withdrawal. A kid with ADHD might be the class clown or the one getting in trouble; a kid with CDS is more likely to be the wallflower in class who barely says a word. Studies consistently find that CDS-prone individuals are often socially withdrawn and shy, sometimes getting overlooked or ignored by peersen.wikipedia.org. People might think they're aloof or uninterested, but in reality the person is just slow to respond and not catching the fast-paced flow of conversationen.wikipedia.org. Meanwhile, ADHD kids are hard to ignore – they demand attention, sometimes in not-so-great ways, and can get actively rejected due to disruptive behavioren.wikipedia.org. So, socially, one tends to be invisible (CDS) and the other too visible (ADHD).There's also an interesting personality distinction noted in research: ADHD is often associated with being reward-seeking and novelty-loving, whereas CDS might come with a higher sensitivity to punishment or a tendency to avoid risksen.wikipedia.org. It's like ADHD is always pressing the gas pedal looking for something fun, and CDS is hovering over the brake, worried about making a wrong move. This could be one reason we see less rule-breaking behavior in CDS – those individuals aren't the ones typically running toward trouble; if anything, they're stuck trying to remember what the next step was.Neuroscience angle (in lay terms): We won't get too technical here, but it's worth noting that scientists suspect the brain mechanisms differ between these two conditions. ADHD is often tied to issues with executive functions and inhibitory control (trouble stopping impulses, difficulty with the brain's “braking system”). CDS seems to be more about a deficit in starting and sustaining cognitive engagement – maybe a lower general arousal or alertness level in the brain. One theory is that different attention networks are involved: ADHD involves circuits that sustain attention and inhibit distractions, whereas CDS might involve circuits that initiate and regulate alertness. From a neurotransmitter perspective, ADHD famously involves dopamine irregularities; with CDS, some researchers wonder if there's a component of the brain's arousal system (possibly a norepinephrine angle, since alertness is at issue) – but the jury's still out. Alright, science hat off now! The key takeaway is that the inattentiveness in CDS qualitatively feels different from the garden-variety ADHD distractibilityen.wikipedia.org.Before we leave this section, it's important to mention: a person can have both ADHD and CDS symptoms together (this is actually pretty common, as we noted earlier). If ADHD is the cake, think of CDS as a flavor of icing that can coat it for some people. Those are the folks who might be especially struggling – for example, they have the hyperactivity or impulsivity of ADHD and the foggy drifting of CDS. On the flip side, there are some who just have one or the other. The overlap has made it a bit tricky in the past for doctors to decide, “Is this a new condition or just part of ADHD?” But recent consensus leans toward CDS being its own construct, not just “ADHD-lite.” In fact, a large meta-analysis of around 19,000 people found that ADHD symptoms and CDS symptoms, while often co-occurring, do factor out as distinct inattention patternsmedvidi.com. So, think of them like two circles in a Venn diagram: they overlap in the middle (many people have both), but each also has an area that doesn't overlap – unique features that the other doesn't share.In summary, ADHD and Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome are like two different flavors of attention deficit. ADHD is the high-speed, impulsive, “lots of oomph but hard to control” flavor, and CDS is the slow, dreamy, “low oomph, hard to get going” flavor. Both can make school, work, and life challenging, but in distinct ways. Understanding these differences isn't just academic – it matters because it affects how someone feels inside, and it can guide different approaches to help them. And speaking of that, why is it that so many people with CDS have been flying under the radar or getting mislabeled? That brings us to our next segment.Why Is CDS Often Misdiagnosed (or Missed Entirely)?Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome has been called an “underrecognized” condition – and for good reason. It's like the introvert at the party of mental health conditions: quiet, not drawing attention to itself, and often misunderstood. Let's unpack why so many people with CDS get misdiagnosed or overlooked, often as having something else like ADHD, depression, or anxiety.One big reason is history and awareness. Until recently, most clinicians and educators didn't have CDS on their radar at all. If a child was struggling to pay attention, the go-to thought would be “this might be ADHD” (or if the child was very quiet and slow, maybe “this kid is depressed or has an anxiety issue”). Sluggish Cognitive Tempo, as a term, has been around for decades in research, but it never made it into the official diagnostic manualsstatnews.com. So unlike ADHD, which every teacher, parent, or doctor has heard of, SCT/CDS has kind of been the forgotten step-sibling of ADHD. A lot of professionals simply weren't taught about it. This means a kid showing these symptoms might get an ADHD-inattentive type diagnosis by default, or if they don't tick enough ADHD boxes, they might just be shrugged off as a “daydreamer” or mischaracterized as having low motivation.Symptom overlap is another culprit. As we discussed, there's a ton of overlap between inattentive ADHD and CDS. That overlapping 30-50% of cases can be confusingen.wikipedia.org. Many clinicians historically would have just said “well, it's basically ADHD” and not bother with a separate label. The downside? If it is CDS, the subtleties (like the constant drowsiness or internal thought-wandering) might not be addressed by standard ADHD strategies or medications. But if no one's distinguishing it, the person might just be lumped under ADHD and left wondering why some typical ADHD advice doesn't quite fit them.Now, consider how CDS presents behaviorally: these individuals usually aren't causing trouble. They're not hyper or defiant; if anything, they're too well-behaved but mentally absent. Teachers love that they're not disruptive, so they might not refer them for evaluation as quickly as the kid who won't stay in his seat. A student with CDS might sit quietly in the back, half-listening, half in La-La Land. They could be struggling massively internally, but because they're not jumping on desks or failing every test, it slides under the radar. They often get comments like “needs to pay more attention” or “so bright, but doesn't apply themselves” on report cards – sound familiar to anyone? Those kinds of comments are classic for undiagnosed attention issues that don't fit the loud ADHD stereotype.Another reason for misdiagnosis is the similarity to depression or anxiety symptoms. Think about it: if someone is consistently sluggish, low-energy, apathetic, and staring off, a clinician might immediately consider depression. In fact, lethargy and concentration problems are key symptoms of depression as well. Anxiety, especially in kids, can sometimes look like zoning out or being “in their head” worrying. So, it's easy to see how a person with CDS might get diagnosed with an anxiety disorder or depression when the core issue is actually this attention disengagement problem (though to complicate matters, the person could also be anxious or depressed – those can co-occur). There's evidence of a strong link between CDS symptoms and internalizing disorders like anxiety/depressioncogepderg.com, which means clinicians really have to tease apart: is the daydreaming because of depression? Or is the depression developing because the person is always struggling and feeling out of sync? It can be a chicken-and-egg situation.Misinterpretation by others adds to the mess. Earlier I mentioned people with CDS might be seen as aloof or unmotivated. Let's double down on that: friends, family, and even doctors can wrongly attribute the behavior to character traits. A child who doesn't respond quickly or seems “out of it” might get labeled as lazy, shy, or even oppositional (when they don't follow instructions, not out of defiance but because their mind wandered off). One heartbreaking example comes from a real story: a teenage girl was so quiet and zoned out in class that teachers literally marked her as absent when she was right there in her seatstatnews.com. Can you imagine? She was physically present but so mentally checked-out due to CDS that she might as well have been invisible. For years she and her parents thought her issues were just from anxiety and depression. It wasn't until she stumbled on the term “sluggish cognitive tempo” in an old psych report that things clickedstatnews.comstatnews.com. Suddenly, the excessive daydreaming, the brain fog – it all made sense as a distinct thing. But it took that long for anyone to connect the dots, because the default assumptions were other diagnoses.There's also a bit of controversy in the professional community that has affected recognition. Some experts have criticized the push to make CDS an official diagnosis, arguing that it might pathologize normal traits or that it's just a fragment of ADHD or other disordersedgefoundation.orgstatnews.com. They worry about overdiagnosis – like, are we going to start labeling every dreamy kid with a disorder? Are pharma companies just looking for the next condition to medicate? These are valid concerns, and it's good that scientists are cautious. However, the flip side is that by not recognizing CDS, people who truly suffer from it might not get the specific help they need. It's a fine line. The consensus that has emerged is that while we're debating the labels, the symptoms are very real and can be seriously impairingedgefoundation.org. So misdiagnosis happens both ways: some get diagnosed with something else incorrectly, and some don't get diagnosed with anything at all – they're just “undiagnosed and unhappy.”Finally, the nature of CDS itself can fool clinicians. Since these folks often have some degree of attention capacity (for example, they might do okay in one-on-one situations or when very interested in a topic), their issue might not scream “attention disorder” in a short doctor's visit. They might not report the hyperactive symptoms (because they have none), so if the practitioner isn't well-versed in SCT, they might not recognize that a pattern of lifelong “dreaminess” is a sign of an attention-related condition. In adults, this is even trickier: an adult who complains of brain fog might get checked for thyroid problems, anemia, sleep apnea, etc., and if all those are negative, the fatigue and fog might be attributed to stress or depression. Rarely does a doctor say, “Hey, could this be that thing called cognitive disengagement syndrome?” – at least not yet, since awareness is still growing.The result of misdiagnosis or missing the diagnosis? People can go years thinking they're just bad at life or “lazy.” They internalize a lot of negative self-talk. A kid might grow up being scolded for daydreaming, a teen might get told “you just need to try harder,” and an adult might wonder why they can't seem to hold onto their thoughts in meetings when everyone else manages fine. It can be frustrating and demoralizing. Some individuals end up on treatments that don't fully help – for instance, they might be given stimulant medication for ADHD and find that, while it might boost focus a bit, it doesn't magically clear the fog like it does for a classic ADHD caseadditudemag.com. Or they might be on antidepressants that help mood but not their spacing-out episodes.The bottom line here is that CDS often flies under the radar. Its sufferers might get diagnosed with something more obvious or nothing at all. The condition is underrecognized in both the medical field and public awareness. That's why one of my goals today (and the reason you're still listening) is to shine a light on it. Because once you do recognize it, you can start doing something about it – which is exactly what we'll talk about next.Up to now, we've painted a pretty challenging picture – brain fog, misdiagnoses, feeling overlooked. But don't worry: this isn't all doom and gloom. In the next segment, we're switching gears to something more empowering: practical tips and strategies. If you or someone you care about is dealing with CDS (or heck, even if you just relate to some of this foggy focus stuff), what can be done? How can you manage these symptoms and make life a bit easier? Let's explore that.Practical Tips for Managing CDSAlright, let's roll up our sleeves and get practical. Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome can make everyday tasks feel like you're swimming upstream, but there are ways to manage it and improve your day-to-day functioning. Whether you're an adult with CDS, a parent or teacher of someone who has it, or just someone listening along for knowledge, these tips will be helpful. We're going to cover a mix of lifestyle habits, strategies, and supports – essentially, how to give that “sluggish” brain a bit of a tune-up or workaround. Think of it as creating an environment where your brain's engine has some extra help turning over. Let's break down some strategies:* Prioritize Sleep and Healthy Habits: This one's not glamorous, but it's huge. Since people with CDS often feel drowsy or low-energy, getting consistent, quality sleep is vital. Poor sleep will only pour molasses on an already sluggish cognitive tempo. Aim for a regular sleep schedule and good sleep hygiene (yes, that means putting down the phone at night and maybe actually going to bed on time, a tough ask, I know!). Also, pay attention to diet and exerciseedgefoundation.org. Physical activity can temporarily boost alertness – even a brisk walk or a few jumping jacks when you're feeling foggy can restart the engine. Eating balanced meals and staying hydrated helps too (blood sugar crashes or dehydration can worsen that spaced-out feeling). Some folks find that a bit of caffeine in moderation helps shake off the cobwebs, but be careful not to overdo it, especially if you also have anxiety. Think of healthy habits as the foundation; they won't eliminate CDS, but they raise your baseline energy and brain health, giving you a fighting chance on those heavy-brain-fog days.* Use External Structures to Stay On Track: If the issue is that your brain disengages internally, one solution is to bring in external engagement. This means using tools and routines to keep you anchored to tasks. For example, timers and alarms can be your best friend. Set a timer for, say, 10 minutes and tell yourself, “I'll work on this task until the timer rings, then I can pause.” Often, just that little auditory cue and the knowledge of a break coming can help you initiate a task. Visual reminders are great too – post-it notes in key places, a big wall calendar, or phone reminders that pop up with messages like “Hey, are you on task?

Anxiety can creep into our minds, bodies, and lives in the sneakiest of ways. From chronic bouts of anxious thoughts to full blown panic attacks, anxiety can wreak on our internal and external worlds. And although we often think that we should be able to conquer anxiety just by pushing it away or taking a prescription pill, I've found, as a clinical psychologist, that anxiety tends to get worse-- often much worse--until we mindfully address the underlying issues. And when it comes to healing anxiety, research shows that CBT--cognitive behavioral therapy--yields top-notch results. Join Dr. Carla and Dr. Joel Minden, leading psychotherapist, educator, and author, who offers expert advice on how to become the boss of your anxiety. Topics discussed include anxiety, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), obsessive thoughts, intrusive thoughts, betrayal, trust, affair, infidelity, cheating, romantic relationship, divorce, dating, avoidance, repetitive thoughts, adaptive behavior, cognitive flexibility, tolerance, panic attacks, fear, avoidance, compassion, self-compassion, understanding, thought distortions, distorted thinking, thinking errors, emotions, fight or flight response, hypervigilance, and anxiety treatment.

How therapy became a computer program and lost its soul 1973: A researcher walks into a psychiatric hospital claiming to hear voices saying "empty, hollow, thud." He's immediately diagnosed with schizophrenia and held for weeks. The twist? He's perfectly sane. It's all an experiment to prove psychiatric diagnosis is fiction. Those three words - empty, hollow, thud - would become the perfect description of what American therapy was about to become. This episode exposes how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy conquered psychology by promising scientific precision while secretly throwing out everything that makes therapy work. The computer metaphor for mind created treatments that were measurable, billable, and completely ineffective.   https://gettherapybirmingham.com/the-weird-history-of-psychotherapy-part-4-empty-hollow-thud-or-cbt-and-the-satanic-panic/   You'll discover: How Aaron Beck's computer metaphor reduced humans to software Why the "evidence-based" revolution was built on falsified research The hidden truth: effective CBT therapists are doing depth work in disguise How the Satanic Panic destroyed trust in memory and trauma Why America's most "rational" era believed in underground demon cults The replication crisis that proved the "gold standard" was fool's gold

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I'm Alex Segal and today, we have the amazing Rachel Rosenberg on the podcast. Rachel is a certified mindset, health, and behavior change coach who helps women break free from emotional eating, binge cycles, and the exhausting all-or-nothing mindset. Blending neuroscience, CBT tools, and over 12 years of experience, she guides her clients to build a healthy relationship with food — and with themselves. Her work isn't about more control. It's about freedom. It's about peace. It's about learning to trust your body again.This was a topic I was excited to explore more deeply — while it's focused on creating a healthy lifestyle, there is so much more around that that we delve into when it comes to building the life you want to be living and the habits that support it. We speak about letting go of perfectionism on that journey, how to navigate what a healthy lifestyle actually looks like for you and then the emotions that may come up along the way when getting there.As women, our relationship with food can be layered and it's one that comes up multiple times a day. Rachel works with women to get to a much freer place when it comes to choosing what to eat every day and just how to approach this aspect of our lives with a lot more calm.These days, weight loss drugs are a hot topic as well and it feels that conversations around weight loss really run the gamut — first, we're focusing more on body acceptance and not wanting to change to focusing on everyone doing weight loss drugs and how we feel about that to maybe feeling shame about wanting to lose weight and speaking openly about that to also wanting to love ourselves the way we are! — there can be feelings across the whole spectrum at different times in our lives and sometimes all at the same time. In this conversation, we speak about a lot of that. How you can feel confident and okay with wanting to lose weight if that's your goal AND also work on loving yourself as you are.Rachel has a new group opening up in July so reach out now! You can follow her on Instagram at @coach_rachel_rosenberg or connect via email at rachelr@mindbodyspirit.health.

One of the most common — and frustrating — symptoms of midlife is insomnia during menopause. If you've found yourself staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m. or struggling to fall asleep even when you're exhausted, you're not alone. Sleep disruptions affect up to 60% of women in perimenopause and postmenopause, largely due to shifting hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol. Poor sleep can lead to hypertension, T2D, heart disease, Alzheimer's Disease and dementia, obesity, cancer, as well as poor work performance, poor exercise performance and recovery, and bone and hair health may be impacted. There are lots of reasons why working on your sleep should be a priority. Beyond midlife hot flashes and night sweats, stress, mood changes, trauma, pain, and even subconscious sleep habits all play a role. The good news? There's a clinically proven approach that doesn't involve medication: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-i.In this episode, we'll explore how CBT-i works, why it's especially effective for midlife women, and how it goes far beyond sleep hygiene tips. My guest, Annie Miller, is a licensed psychotherapist and CBT-I specialist, and founder of DC Metro Therapy. She breaks down the science of why sleep becomes fragile in midlife and how small behavioral shifts can help retrain your brain and body to sleep soundly again. Besides sleep disorders, Annie also works with chronic pain and trauma. Whether you're experiencing sleep onset issues, early morning waking, or just feel like you're never fully rested, this conversation will give you the tools to reclaim your nights and restore your energy.

Her roles at the hospital place her in numerous public speaking situations. She is a member of two Toastmasters clubs. Stacy spoke with me at the SHAA convention in Birmingham in February, 2025. She recently participated in a panel discussion about stuttering with graduate students in SLP. We discuss a holistic approach using CBT and SLP.

In today's show, we're talking about a new way of treating women’s most common sexual problems. My guest co-developed an online sexual health platform called eSense that's designed to bring evidence-based treatment for low sexual desire and arousal to the masses at a fraction of the cost of traditional therapy. It could very well be a game-changer in the way we treat sex problems. I am joined once again by Dr. Lori Brotto, an internationally recognized leader in sexual health research. She is a Professor in the UBC Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, a Registered Psychologist, and Canada Research Chair in Women's Sexual Health. She is also author of the book Better Sex Through Mindfulness. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and how can it help in treating problems with desire and arousal? How can mindfulness-based therapy be useful in cases of low sexual desire? How does the eSense platform leverage both CBT and mindfulness training to treat sexual difficulties? How effective is therapy administered online compared to things like face-to-face therapy and pharmaceuticals?

Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction.ADHD is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and/or hyperactivity. While it's often diagnosed in childhood, symptoms can persist well in adulthood. The treatment for ADHD is multifaceted. It often includes medication, behavioral therapy, environmental modifications, and sometimes educational interventions which are especially effective in younger patients. Ongoing evaluation is needed during treatment. Treatment needs adjustments over time.Starting with medications: Stimulants are the most well-studied and effective pharmacologic treatment for ADHD. These include methylphenidate-based medications such as Ritalin, Concerta, and Focalin, and amphetamine-based options, like Adderall, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine. Discovery of stimulants for ADHD> Dr. Charles Bradley discovered stimulants as the treatment for ADHD around 1937. ADHD did not have a name at that time, but it was known that some children had behavioral problems related to poor attention and inability to control their impulses, but they were still intelligent. Dr. Bradley was a psychiatrist who was working in the Bradley Hospital (Rhode Island), he was studying these children and, as part of his experiments, they developed severe headaches. He gave “Benzedrine” (a decongestant) to his pediatric patients to treat severe headaches, and he discovered that Benzedrine improved academic performance and interest in school and improved disruptive behavior in some children.How do stimulants work.Stimulants work primarily by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain, which helps improve focus, attention span, and impulse control. They typically show a rapid onset of action and can lead to noticeable improvements within the first few days of use. Dosing is individualized and should start low with gradual titration. Side effects can include reduced appetite, insomnia, headaches, increased heart rate, and emotional lability.Types of stimulants. Stimulants come as short acting and long acting. They can come as a tablet, liquid, patch, or orally disintegrating tablet. After the discovery of Benzedrine as a possible treatment for ADHD, more research was done over the years, and Ritalin became the first FDA-approved medication for ADHD (1955). The list of medications may seem overwhelming, but there are only two types of stimulants used to treat ADHD: methylphenidate and amphetamine. Long-acting stimulant medications are often preferred for their consistent symptom control and lower potential for misuse. Vyvanse (lis-dexa-mfetamine) is a widely used long-acting amphetamine-based option. As a prodrug, it remains inactive until metabolized in the body, which results in a smoother onset and offset of action and may reduce the risk of abuse. This extended duration of effect can help patients maintain focus and regulate impulses throughout the day without the peaks and crashes sometimes seen with shorter-acting formulations. Of note, Vyvanse is also approved for Binge Eating Disorder. Many of these medications are Schedule II controlled substances, so to prescribe them you need a DEA license. Other long-acting options include Concerta, an extended-release methylphenidate, as well as extended-release versions of Adderall and Focalin. These are especially helpful for school-aged children who benefit from once-daily dosing, and for adults who need sustained attention during work or academic activities. The choice between short- and long-acting stimulants depends on individual response, side effect tolerance, and daily routine.For patients who cannot tolerate stimulants, or for those with contraindications such as a history of substance misuse or certain cardiac conditions, non-stimulant medications are an alternative. One of the most used is atomoxetine, which inhibits the presynaptic norepinephrine transporter (NET). This leads to increased levels of norepinephrine (and to a lesser extent dopamine). Guanfacine or clonidine are alpha-2A adrenergic receptor agonists that lead to reduced sympathetic outflow and enhanced prefrontal cortical function, improving attention and impulse control. These alpha agonists are particularly useful in younger children with significant hyperactivity or sleep disturbances.Non-pharmacologic treatments.Behavioral therapy before age 6 is the first choice, after that, medications are more effective than BH only, and as adults again you use CBT.Medication is often just one part of a broader treatment plan. Behavioral therapy, especially in children, plays a critical role. Parent-training programs, positive reinforcement systems, and structured routines can significantly improve functioning. And for adolescents and adults, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly helpful. CBT can address issues like procrastination, time management, emotional regulation, and self-esteem which are areas that medication doesn't always touch.Using medications for ADHD can be faced with resistance by parents, and even children. There is stigma and misconceptions about mental health, there may be concerns about side effects, fear of addiction, negative past experiences, and some parents prefer to treat ADHD the “natural” way without medications or only with supplements. All those concerns are valid. Starting a medication for ADHD is the first line of treatment in children who are 6 years and older, but it requires a shared decision with parents and patients. Cardiac side effects are possible with stimulants. EKG may be needed before starting stimulants, but it is not required. Get a personal and family cardiac history, including a solid ROS. Benefits include control of current condition and treating comorbid conditions.The presentation of ADHD changes as the person goes through different stages of life. For example, you may have severe hyperactivity in your school years, but that hyperactivity improves during adolescence and impulsivity worsens. It varies among sexes too. Women tend to present as inattentive, and men tend to be more hyperactive. ADHD is often underdiagnosed in adults, yet it can significantly impact job performance, relationships, and mental health. In adults, we often use long-acting stimulants to minimize the potential for misuse. And psychotherapy, particularly CBT or executive functioning coaching, can be life-changing when combined with pharmacologic treatment. There are several populations where treatment must be tailored carefully such as pregnant patients, individuals with co-occurring anxiety or depression, and those with a history of substance use. For example, atomoxetine may be preferred in patients with a history of substance misuse. And in children with coexisting oppositional defiant disorder, combined behavioral and pharmacologic therapy is usually more effective than either approach alone.Comorbid conditions.Depression and anxiety can be comorbid, and they can also mimic ADHD. Consult your DSM-5 to clarify what you are treating, ADHD vs depression/anxiety.Treatment goes beyond the clinic. For school-aged children, we often work closely with schools to implement 504 plans or Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that provide classroom accommodations. Adults may also benefit from workplace strategies like structured schedules, noise-reducing headphones, or even coaching support. Ongoing monitoring is absolutely essential. We assess side effects of medication, adherence, and symptom control. ***In children, we also monitor growth and sleep patterns. We often use validated rating scales, like the Vanderbilt questionnaire for children 6–12 (collect answers from two settings) or Conners questionnaires (collect from clinician, parents and teachers), to track progress. And shared decision-making with patients and families is key throughout the treatment process.To summarize, ADHD is a chronic but manageable condition. Effective treatment usually involves a combination of medication and behavioral interventions, tailored to the individual's needs. And early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve quality of life academically, socially, and emotionally.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Learning a new skill, like playing the guitar, requires transforming theoretical knowledge into practical ability. The author shares "Golden Rules" for mastering any new skill, derived from their guitar-learning journey.These rules include:Consistency is King: Regular, short practice sessions are more effective than infrequent, long ones.Immerse Yourself: Become deeply familiar with the fundamental elements of the skill, much like learning to speak a language.Analyze Your Faux Pas: Identify and understand the root causes of your mistakes to correct them.Focus on the Fretboard, Not the Fame: Concentrate on controllable actions like practicing, rather than obsessing over long-term goals or rapid progress.Don't Try to Learn Everything: Be strategic and focus on a few key areas for improvement instead of trying to absorb all available knowledge at once.Turn Knowledge into Skill with Tiered Tremolos: Systematically practice new concepts at increasing levels of difficulty and pressure to build proficiency.Don't Forget to Rock Out (and Have Fun!): Maintain enjoyment in the learning process to prevent burnout.Spoken by Felipe Khristopher Blue of More Than Therapy as his alias, the creative, Jamari Leonard.Do you need a therapist?
