Can OCD therapy actually make OCD worse if it's done incorrectly?   In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, Kristina Orlova speaks with Dr. Fugen Neziroglu, one of the pioneers in OCD treatment and the founder of the BioBehavioral Institute. With over 50 years of experience and more than 4,000 OCD patients treated, Dr. Neziroglu shares what most people still misunderstand about OCD therapy, ERP, CBT, and recovery.   Dr. Neziroglu opens up about: • How OCD treatment looked in the 1970s before ERP, SSRIs, and CBT even existed • The surprising story behind the first OCD medication studies in the United States • Why many people think they're getting ERP therapy when they're actually not • What “real” OCD treatment should look like for severe OCD cases • Why some people need more support than once-a-week therapy • How intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and residential treatment can help people reclaim their lives   If you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” in OCD treatment but still feel stuck, this episode may help you understand why. Whether you're struggling with contamination OCD, intrusive thoughts, severe anxiety, compulsions, or treatment-resistant OCD, this conversation offers real hope and practical insight from someone who helped shape modern OCD treatment itself.

Cognitive Behavioral and Grief Coach Jordan Schwartz Hendin joins host Stacy Francis to discuss navigating the holidays after losing a spouse. Jordan draws from her personal experiences with grief, having lost her own mother at a young age and supporting her widowed grandmother through multiple losses. Now a professional coach, she works with women struggling with grief and major life transitions. In this week's show, Jordan and Stacy explore handling loss and loneliness, honoring traditions, and staying financially sound. The holidays can bring up complex emotions such as sadness, anger, and loneliness. This is normal after a major loss. Avoid unhealthy coping strategies like becoming an “isolator” or “doer.” Don't overcommit to events or hide away alone. Reflect on your core values. Focus on traditions that align with what matters most, like family time. Make new memories and experiences, especially with children. Gift experiences rather than material items.  Have open conversations with family about your grief. Don't pretend to be okay if you're not. Manage your finances by focusing on your values, not material possessions. Stick to a budget for holiday gifts and activities. You don't have to navigate the holidays alone. Seek support from family or a grief counselor during this difficult time.

Queues at budgeting services are getting longer, and financial advisors are finding households with increasing incomes are seeking help. Kiwis with a household income of over $200,000 a year and likely with a mortgage are struggling to make ends meet. It feels like it was only a few years ago that being on a six figure salary meant you were fairly well off, but it seems it's barely enough to get out of living paycheck to paycheck these days. So what actually is a liveable wage these days? Do we truly need to be making half a million a year just to pay our bills and still have a bit left over for savings and fun?

In this episode of Men of Influence, Tim Holloway sits down with financial strategist Nathan Sylvester, founder of Access Wealth Strategies, to unpack the mindset shifts men need to make to build true, sustainable wealth. Nathan shares his journey from playing music in college to becoming a Certified Financial Planner, and how his calling evolved into helping business owners and families create financial confidence through clarity and structure. They discuss the common male resistance to asking for help, the shame surrounding disorganized finances, and why so many entrepreneurs try to “clean up their money mess” before letting anyone in.Nathan walks through the essential steps to start building real wealth: get brutally honest about your spending, automate your savings, and protect your income before chasing big investment returns. He explains how most people jump ahead to stocks and real estate before securing their financial foundation; like emergency savings, life insurance, and disability coverage. From practical advice on passive vs. active investing to building legacy wealth through life insurance strategies, Nathan emphasizes the power of awareness, automation, and accountability. Whether you're just starting out or preparing for retirement, this episode will reframe your relationship with money; and help you move from financial stress to financial strategy.Key Takeaways:Awareness is Step One: Track where your money is going; most people are shocked by the reality.Stop Flying Solo: Financial shame and pride keep men from getting help. A good advisor makes it easier, not harder.Automate to Win: Set up automatic savings so discipline isn't optional; it's built into your system.Protect Before You Grow: Build emergency savings and insurance coverage before diving into risky investments.Make Work Optional: The real win is freedom; getting to a place where work is a choice, not a necessity.“If you don't know where your money is going, there's no way you can direct where it should go.” - Nathan SylvesterLearn more about Tim through the following links:FacebookPodcasting group

Today, I want to talk about something deeply personal, and something that I feel compelled to release—my relationship with moral superiority. It's a topic that's been occupying my mind for a while now, and it feels like the right moment to dive into it, especially since this reflection ties into asking for something that doesn't come easily to me: help.For a long time, I've struggled with the idea of surrender, particularly the kind of surrender that feels like giving up or being defeated. But lately, I've been realizing that surrender doesn't have to mean defeat. It can be about trust—trusting in a process, in something bigger than myself. It can also be about asking for help, something that challenges my instinct to handle everything on my own.The Weight of Moral SuperiorityMoral superiority has been a recurring theme in my life. I've found myself struggling with the feeling of needing to be "better" or "right" in certain situations, often triggered by those who seem to hold a rigid moral high ground. I've noticed this in my reactions to figures like Jordan Peterson or in my past prejudices, particularly toward religious middle-class individuals. There's something in their perceived certainty that rubs me the wrong way, probably because I recognize those tendencies in myself.It wasn't until recently that I began to acknowledge this as a projection—something that I have inside but haven't fully processed. Growing up, I was quite rebellious, fighting against the religious teachings that surrounded me. I felt morally superior for questioning and rejecting the norms. That teenage zealot in me wanted to fight everything I thought was wrong with the world. Somewhere along the way, though, I buried that side of myself, playing along to fit in with society, only for that moral superiority to resurface later in life in subtler ways.Releasing the Need to Be "Right"This brings me to the heart of my current work—letting go of that need to be morally superior, which is really just a defense mechanism, a response to fear. Fear of being wrong, fear of being judged, fear of rejection. It's a pattern that keeps me stuck in judgment and isolation, making it harder to truly connect with others.One of the toughest things I've had to confront is the realization that my moral superiority has caused harm in my relationships. I can trace it back to my previous marriage, where I often acted out of a place of righteousness rather than compassion. That's a wound I'm still working through, and it's something I'm committed to being more conscious of.Asking for HelpAnd now, in the spirit of surrender, I find myself in a situation where I need to ask for financial help. It's not easy, but the reality is, I'm in a tough spot. Between back taxes, child support, and rent, it's been a challenging year. I've applied for jobs and freelance gigs but haven't had much luck. So, I'm reaching out to you—my listeners and readers—because I need your support.If you've found value in the work I do, whether it's through my podcast, courses, or writings, I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide. There are a few ways to do this. You can check out my course The Wisdom of the Three Centers on Udemy, which explores the head, heart, and gut centers and how to use them to make more aligned decisions in life. Or, you can become a premium subscriber on Substack, where I plan to offer more premium content in the future. If you prefer a simpler route, I also have a Patreon, where your contributions directly support my ongoing work.What Surrender Looks Like NowAsking for help has felt like prostration—a deep bow to the universe, trusting that something will come through. It's an uncomfortable feeling, a mix of vulnerability and faith. But maybe that's the point. Surrendering doesn't mean giving up; it means opening up. It means letting go of control, of needing to know the outcome, and allowing others to step in.Through this process, I've also had to wrestle with rejection. Recently, I was turned down for a job I felt ready for, and it hit hard. But I'm learning to reframe rejection as an opportunity to grow, to keep trying new things, and to push forward in ways that align with who I am and what I care about. That's the work I'm committed to—finding ways to serve, to grow, and to share what I learn with you.Moving ForwardAs I continue this journey, I'll be exploring how to release the patterns that no longer serve me—moral superiority being a big one. But I also want to be of service to you, to create content that resonates with where you are in your own growth. I'm working on offering more podcasts, courses, and spaces where we can connect and share these experiences. If any of this speaks to you, I invite you to reach out, leave a comment, or share your thoughts. Your support—whether through listening, contributing, or simply engaging—means the world to me.Thank you for being here, for listening, and for being part of this ongoing process of growth and surrender. Together, we can learn to release what no longer serves us and embrace a more compassionate, connected way of being. Get full access to DOPEamine at dopeamine.substack.com/subscribe
