Podcasts about Compulsion

Why do we keep repeating the same painful patterns… even when we know better? In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Wendy sits down with somatic practitioner and author Lauren Duke to unpack the truth behind repetition compulsion, the unconscious pull that keeps us stuck in familiar cycles of pain, conflict, and disconnection. Lauren shares the extraordinary story of walking across Spain on the Camino de Santiago with her family, a bold, healing journey that helped her finally interrupt lifelong patterns of avoidance, reactivity, and emotional pain. Together, they explore how our nervous systems are wired to repeat what hasn't been resolved, how awareness creates the opportunity for change, and why real healing often begins when we're willing to look in the mirror and take responsibility for our part. This episode will challenge you, empower you, and remind you that even the deepest family wounds can be transformed. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/332 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

3,200 Xbox jobs. Studios sold, studios cut loose, studios just gone. And PlayStation is telling us physical discs will be done by 2028. I sat down this week and gave you my honest, unfiltered take on all of it — not just the business moves, but what this means for the actual human beings living through this. As somebody who is currently laid off himself, this one hits close to home, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.This episode covers:-

The main game the boys have been playing this week is Denshattack. Paul is also enjoying a bunch of multiplayer stuff while Sean goes through Deer & Boy. During news we discuss some of the fallout from the Xbox cuts, including what's up with Obsidian and Compulsion. There's also a rumor of a Switch 2 OLED model. TDP is listener funded.

Bei Microsoft Xbox finden "Umstrukturierungen" statt. Übersetzt von Corporate Speak in reguläre Sprache heißt das: massive Entlassungen, keine Verlängerung von Verträgen für Externe, Studios werden verkauft. Compulsion und Double Fine werden wieder in die "Freiheit entlassen", erhalten dabei sogar alle Rechte an ihren entwickelten IPs und eine Art Startfinanzierung. Könnte schlimmer sein. Wir wussten doch alle, dass Meta nicht zu trauen ist, nicht wahr? Das hat jetzt auch die EU bemerkt und sagt, der Algorithmus und das komplette Design von Instagram ist darauf ausgelegt, die Nutzer in Abhängigkeit zu treiben. Viel Spaß mit Folge 315!

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the biology and psychology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and describe the neural circuitry behind repetitive "thought-action loops," including why compulsive actions actually strengthen the underlying obsessions rather than relieve them. I discuss the most effective treatments for OCD, including exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy and SSRIs, and explain what the research shows about how these compare when used alone versus together. Finally, I describe a specific clinical protocol in which patients are guided into states of anxiety while learning to suppress compulsive responses, retraining the brain to break the OCD cycle.

Xbox just got hit by a sledgehammer. In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down CEO Asha Sharma's announcement of 3,200 job cuts at Xbox, with 1,600 happening immediately and the rest rolling out through 2027. Sharma calls it a major reset, admitting Xbox margins are 3 to 10 times lower than comparable companies. Four studios are leaving Microsoft entirely: Compulsion Games (South of Midnight) and Double Fine (Psychonauts 2) are going independent and keeping their IP, while Ninja Theory and Undead Labs head to undisclosed new owners. Frank also covers the cuts hitting Activision, Bethesda, ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and Xbox Game Studios, the refocus on tentpole franchises like Halo and Gears of War, and why King and Mojang now report directly to Sharma. It all lands just one year after Microsoft cut 9,000 jobs and cancelled Rare's Everwild.Timestamps:00:00 Xbox announces 3,200 layoffs and a company reset00:17 Four studios leaving: Compulsion, Double Fine, Ninja Theory, Undead Labs00:36 Cuts across Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and more00:57 King and Mojang now report directly to Asha Sharma01:11 One year after 9,000 layoffs and the Everwild cancellationKey Takeaways:Xbox is cutting 3,200 jobs total, with 1,600 eliminated immediately and the rest through 2027.CEO Asha Sharma says Xbox margins are 3 to 10 times lower than comparable companies.Compulsion Games and Double Fine are transitioning back to independent studios and keeping their IP.Ninja Theory and Undead Labs have entered terms with new, undisclosed owners.No recently announced first party games are being cancelled, and Xbox is refocusing on beloved franchises like Halo and Gears of War.King (Candy Crush) and Mojang (Minecraft) will now report directly to Sharma, showing how vital those tentpoles are.This follows last year's 9,000 layoffs and the cancellation of Rare's Everwild.Memorable Quotes:"Xbox just got hit by a sledgehammer.""Compulsion Games, the team behind South of Midnight, which is a beautiful game, and Double Fine, the team behind Psychonauts 2, are going to transition back into independent companies.""There's a lot of people out there looking for jobs in a very competitive market that's being threatened by AI."Call to Action:If you want to stay on top of the biggest stories in gaming and geek culture, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines wherever you get your podcasts.

Conocemos el precio, las ediciones y los formatos de venta de Grand Theft Auto VI, y casi todo está mal. ¿Qué es eso de restringir la venta del formato físico al venderte el juego con un código dentro de la caja de plástico y sin disco? ¿Por qué la Edición Estándar da la sensación de que te quita tantas cosas del juego base que sí está en la Premium? ¿A qué espera Rockstar a mostrarnos la jugabilidad de GTA VI con su tercer tráiler? Nos gritamos hablando de todo esto en un debate acalorado a la altura del momento. Eso sí, más calmados hablamos del nuevo drama de Xbox con la subida de precio de sus consolas, de los despidos de Bungie que se veían venir desde hace tiempo o lo carísima que es Steam Machine, y sin olvidarnos de toda la nueva información de O/D, lo nuevo de Hideo Kojima que cambiará el terror para siempre.

We All Are Filled with Something. The Jesus Follower is Filled with the Holy Spirit! MESSAGE SUMMARY: If you believe that Christianity is just a bunch of rules and laws for you (all of which you cannot keep!), then you really do not know what Christianity is all about. Jesus Followers are filled with the Holy Spirit. All of us are filled with something. With what are you filled? The Apostle Peter, in 1 Peter 4:5-6, admonishes you to be faithful to the Gospel and to live in the Spirit like God: “but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.". Some people are filled with the world or the devil or alcohol or drugs or materialism or their jobs or just themselves. You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. As you walk with the Holy Spirit, Paul instructs in Ephesians 5:15-17 to make wise use of our limited time on earth and to seek God's will through the Holy Spirit: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.". Come Holy Spirit; fill us with your presence and power. Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? If not, why not?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen.         Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Ephesians 5:15-21; Acts 2:1-4; 1 Peter 4:1-6; Psalms 34a: 1-11. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

Why does OCD feel more convincing than your own eyes?   In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, Kristina Orlova speaks with Catherine Goldhouse, ICBT therapist and OCD specialist.   Together, they explore one of the most powerful concepts in Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT): how OCD overrides your mind by convincing you that possibility is evidence.   Catherine breaks down: • Why intrusive thoughts are not the real problem in OCD • How OCD shifts your default from trust to doubt • Why possibility alone feels convincing when OCD takes over • The hidden role of self-doubt, identity, and imagination in OCD   This conversation also dives into: • How OCD disconnects people from their senses and common sense • The difference between normal reasoning and OCD reasoning • Why people with OCD often search for evidence after already reaching a conclusion • How past experiences become stories that shape OCD fears • The concept of "reverse reasoning" and how it keeps OCD alive • Why imagination can become more trusted than reality   If you've ever found yourself asking, "But what if?" over and over again, this episode will help you understand why OCD feels so convincing—and how ICBT helps people break free from its grip.   Whether you're struggling with OCD yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical insights, hope, and a completely different way of understanding OCD recovery.  

There comes a time in every person's life when they must contend with the question: which golf game is for me? For Rob, well he and his dad spent some time this past week hitting the links in PGA 2k25. Patrick and Chia were both won over by a totally Normal Golf Game, (which they will make Rob play next week when the crew gathers at Highground). Unfortunately, there's only so much golfing that can distract from Xbox closing multiple studios, Epic putting AI in Unreal Engine 6, and Don't Nod teetering on the edge of shutting down for good. As bleak as the AAA space is, at least Steam Next Fest has given Patrick and Chia games to look forward to in the indie zone, including Penguin Colony, the next game from the folks who made Umurangi Generation, and even more golf in the form of Sting and Swing, a stylish looking metroid-vania golfing game.Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that's pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country added Xbox to its boycott list.

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

On this week's episode, Nathan and Chris are joined by a second Chris, this one of the Plante variety, to discuss the latter's Earliest Game Of The Year awards. Why now? Because games that release near the beginning of the year often get ignored or forgotten by the time GOTY season rolls around. Also, as of now, nearly 11,000 games have already come out this year. We ask Chris why, despite a glut of same-y industry award shows, he believes we need more—not less—and what the value of those shows could be if they focused more on specific types of games or just generally dared to be weirder. Then we move on to the latest grim tidings out of Microsoft, where multiple studios including Double Fine, Compulsion, and Ninja Theory are now on the chopping block. What's the plan here? Is there one? Was there ever—at least in terms of building a coherent identity around Xbox? Lastly, Nathan gets to talk about the UFC's White House card, to the surprise and delight of no one.Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Chris Person & special guest Chris Plante- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki says the studio will continue to focus on creativity rather than just safe sequels to satisfy investors. The big news this week is that Microsoft is shutting down multiple studios allegedly, with the first one being Compulsion and whispers of Arkane being next, all while Xbox CEO Asha says they're speeding up development on the next versions of big franchise games. We discuss if it even matters and what the future of Xbox even is at this point. #fromsoftware #xbox #microsoft #compulsion #arkane #videogames #allyoucangeek #aycg #podcast

Amid reports of potential studio closures and mass layoffs, Microsoft has announced the Xbox Game Pass June Wave 2 lineup of games. It has yet to comment, however, on this week's rumors that the likes of Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, Psychonauts developer Double Fine, and South of Midnight developer Compulsion may be shut down. Daemon has all this and more in your Daily Fix!Presented by Universal Orlando Resort, and its newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe.

Deze aflevering van Gamekings Daily is ook te bekijken op https://youtu.be/MN6jWTSmiPs Deze editie van GK Daily was opgenomen voordat de eerste berichten naar buiten kwamen dat XBOX mogelijk studio’s als Compulsion, Arkane en Ninja Theory wilde sluiten of afstoten. Welkom bij Gamekings Daily. De gaming vodcast waarin twee hosts van Gamekings kwebbelen over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld der videogames. We zijn aangekomen bij de dinsdag en het is opnieuw Jasper die plaats heeft genomen achter de desk. De twee praten over het interview met de grote baas van From Software, Hidetaka Miyazaki. Waar de aandeelhouders schreeuwen om commerciële inkoppers als Bloodborne 2 en een nieuwe Dark Souls, wil de even eigenwijze als briljante Japanner zich liever focussen op het maken van originele, nieuwe IP's. Wat denkt Jasper daarvan, fan als hij is van de laatste games van From Software? Heeft Miyazaki gelijk of moet hij niet moeilijk doen en de fans gewoon geven wat ze graag willen? En dat is bijvoorbeeld een vervolg op Bloodborne. Dit en andere onderwerpen zie en hoor je voorbij komen in de Gamekings Daily van dinsdag 16 juni 2026. From Software wil geen gemakzuchtige sequels maken Jasper en JJ praten in deze editie ook over de productiekosten van Gears of War E-Day. De game die op 6 oktober uitkomt, gaat XBOX een slordige 400 miljoen dollar kosten. Hoe kan dat en is het spel dat bedrag wel waard? Ze spreken ook over de aankondiging van Spyro: A Realm Beyond. Een nieuw avontuur met het vrolijke draakje komt eraan, omdat de community er zo vocaal om vroeg. Hoe kijken de beide heren tegen deze aankondiging aan en vinden ze dat meer uitgevers dit zouden moeten doen? Voor welke game zouden zij hard willen schreeuwen? Je krijgt het antwoord in deze video. Werkt Xbox aan een MMO in het Halo universum? Xbox wil mogelijk de grote IP's wat meer naar voren gaan brengen. Halo hoort daar natuurlijk bij. Er gaat het gerucht dat Xbox al een jaar of twee in het geheim puzzelt aan een MMO in het Halo universum. Zien de heren wat in dit idee of heeft het weinig kans van slagen?

What if the scariest thoughts in your head mean nothing at all? William Schultz spent ten years trapped inside obsessive compulsive disorder. It got so bad he became afraid of his own shadow, checking it every time he flipped a light switch. Then he made one brave decision that put him in remission within two months. No drugs. No endless analysis. Today he's a psychotherapist in St. Paul, president of OCD Twin Cities, and the expert who pushed the International OCD Foundation to revise its own treatment guidelines in 2025.In this conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin and William expose why standard mental health care makes OCD worse. They reveal what actually frees people in an in depth conversation.  If you've ever been attacked by a thought you couldn't turn off, this episode is your way out.

"Walk the Dog!!" written across the top of a six-page letter found hidden in Kouri Richins' jail cell. Inside: instructions for coaching her brother's testimony. The defense she should never have scripted.But the letter itself isn't the most revealing piece. The "fictional novel" defense is. Because when Kouri was confronted on a recorded jail call, she didn't pause. She didn't stumble. She produced a complete alternative explanation instantly — fictional novel, Mexican prison setting, Crest Whitestrips smuggled in by her attorney — like an immune system generating antibodies on contact with a pathogen.This episode traces the psychological reflex that drove every post-arrest behavior: the letters, the calls, the fired attorneys, the message to an admirer about "exposing" the prosecution and the judge and the Richins family. Not strategy. Compulsion. A narrative machine that can't be turned off because the narrative IS the self. When story-production stops, the identity collapses. So it runs. From a jail cell. On recorded lines. No matter the cost.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the recently published No Compulsion in Religion—No Exceptions: Islamic Arguments for Religious Freedom, Cato senior fellow Mustafa Akyol collaborated with a team of international Muslim scholars to articulate a noncoercive vision of Islam. Among the issues addressed in the book are blasphemy laws that restrict free speech in dozens of countries—with Pakistan often regarded as home to some of the most troubling cases.Akyol will discuss the issue with two Pakistani scholars: Husnul Amin, author of the book's chapter on blasphemy, and Muhammad Khalid Masud, the book's academic adviser and a distinguished scholar of Islamic law and theology. The three will also explore how a reformist reading of the Qur'an and other Islamic sources can help build a case against blasphemy laws. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Can distraction be a compulsion in anxiety recovery? It is a question that comes up constantly in the anxiety community. Many people are told to simply "distract your mind" when they feel anxious, but if you are doing it specifically to escape a feeling, it can quickly turn into a safety behavior or a compulsion.---Want to talk about this episode with Drew, Josh, and others that are sharing your struggle and understand? We're hanging out in the Disordered Community space:https://disordered.fm/community---In this episode of Disordered, the guys break down the crucial difference between using distraction as an urgent escape mechanism and choosing to intentionally shift your attention toward something meaningful. Drew and Josh look at how the intent and the presence of urgency dictate whether an action is helping your recovery or keeping you stuck in the anxiety loop.Intent vs. Escape: Why how and why you distract yourself matters far more than the activity itself.The Role of Urgency: How sprinting to an activity to stop an anxious feeling turns a healthy action into a compliance mechanism.Attentional Control: The practice of moving your focus to value-driven actions even while anxiety chats away in the background.Rewiring the Amygdala: Why teaching your brain that you are safe requires turning your attention away from the threat response.Listener "Did It Anyways": Inspiring stories from the community, including overcoming a years-long fear of flying and navigating major life challenges while continuing to take brave steps forward.Recovery is not about achieving perfect distraction to prevent difficult feelings. It is about building psychological flexibility and learning that you can coexist with discomfort while choosing where to put your focus.---The Disordered Guide to Health Anxiety is available as a paperback or on Kindle⁠https://www.disordered.fm/the-disordered-guide-to-health-anxiety/⁠---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control?

Mary Feldman, A-LPC/MHSP, is an OCD & anxiety therapist, educator, and speaker with lived experience. Mary first encountered OCD in middle school, which became the catalyst for a deep commitment to psychology, leadership, and systemic change in how anxiety and related disorders are understood and treated. While earning her master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Mary worked full-time as a behavioral specialist within Rogers Behavioral Health's Partial Hospitalization Program. There, she received extensive, specialized training in the treatment of severely debilitating OCD, anxiety, and related conditions. This immersive clinical experience sharpened her expertise and solidified her dedication to advancing evidence-based, compassionate, and effective treatment models. Now an outpatient therapist, educator, and content creator, Mary integrates clinical rigor with lived experience to help individuals reclaim agency over their lives. She is also deeply invested in increasing access to education and uses her training and firsthand experience to create practical, empowering tools for those who struggle to find effective support. Through both clinical work and public engagement, Mary aims to foster confidence, compassion, resilience, and lasting freedom in those she serves.In this episode, we deep dive into mental compulsions and discuss the often misunderstood and invisible side of OCD.We talk about common misconceptions around OCD, what mental compulsions can actually sound and look like, and why these experiences can feel isolating, confusing, and lonely. We also emphasize how OCD is not one-size-fits-all and how many people struggle for years without realizing what they're experiencing. In addition, we discuss how OCD can sometimes be overlooked or misdiagnosed, the importance of increasing clinician awareness and training, and what OCD treatment can look like when compulsions happen internally, rather than externally.Whether you struggle with rumination, mental checking, reassurance seeking, self-doubt, or are simply curious, we hope this episode can help you feel less alone while offering a nuanced conversation around OCD and anxiety.FOLLOW MARY:INSTA: @ocdrebeltherapistCONTACT: LinktreeSTAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveTHREADS: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com
