If you're anything like me, you might have a bit of a love-hate relationship with fear. Even though I'm a therapist who specializes in anxiety, I've always found fear fascinating. As a kid, I used to dream about being part of the horror movie world, and today, I still think there's something to be learned from those spooky films. Whether you love the thrill of a scary movie or can't wait for Halloween to be over, there's a valuable lesson to take away from horror: The more we run from fear, the more powerful it becomes. In this blog, I'm going to explore how fear works, what horror movies can teach us about handling anxiety, and how to use strategies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to face fear head-on and shrink it down to size. Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: Why running from fear makes it worse How to use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help your brain learn to handle anxiety without avoiding it How to reduce the power fear has over you You can find the full shownotes here: ⁠https://jennaoverbaughlpc.com/running-from-fear ⚡ Sign up for my FREE Masterclass, Break Free Power Hour, on Taking Control of Anxiety and Intrusive Thoughts: https://www.jennaoverbaughlpc.com/power

If you're anything like me or many of the people I work with, you've likely found yourself stuck in a never-ending cycle of overanalyzing or ruminating over every little detail—past, present, or future. You think and think, hoping to find the right answer, the perfect solution, or some sense of certainty, but instead, you just end up feeling more overwhelmed and anxious. Have you ever felt like overthinking fuels your anxiety? I bet you have! Today, we're going to talk about these thought patterns, known as mental compulsions. This includes things like overanalyzing, excessive worrying, ruminating, and trying to figure out every scenario in your head. I'll explain why these behaviors keep you trapped in a spiral and, most importantly, how you can start breaking free.

Today, we're diving into a topic that could change the way you think about mental health care. We're going to explore the stepped care model, or stepped care approach—what it is, why it's crucial, and why traditional therapy may not always be the best or only option for everyone. Here's a little spoiler: high-quality self-help can be just as effective—if not more so—for certain individuals. Before we dive in, it's important to understand that everything I'm sharing today is backed by research. We're not just talking theories here; we're discussing evidence-based approaches that have been proven to work. So, let's get into it. Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: What The Stepped Care Model Is The Power of High-Quality Self-Help What The Stepped Care Approach Means For You You can find the full shownotes (including links to the research for more reading) here: https://jennaoverbaughlpc.com/stepped-care-model

Hey everyone, welcome back! Today, we're diving into a crucial topic, especially if you or someone you know has been struggling with OCD, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts. We're going to talk about why traditional talk therapy—where talking is the main, and sometimes the only, intervention—isn't enough to help you overcome these issues. Talk therapy doesn't work for OCD and anxiety most of the time (and can often make things worse). Before you panic, let me clarify: not all forms of therapy that involve talking are bad. Far from it! Therapies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) involve a lot of talking, but they also include structured interventions that are important for real progress. Let's dig into why traditional talk therapy, as I'm defining it, just doesn't cut it for OCD and anxiety, and explore some evidence-based strategies that do work. Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: • What Talk Therapy really is • Why talk therapy alone doesn't work for OCD • What works for OCD and anxiety instead

Today, we're going to get a little paradoxical. We're diving into something different—how to make your OCD worse.

Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: • 5 Ways to Make OCD Worse • Why generic advice doesn't work • What to do instead

Today, we're diving into a question I get all the time—how do I do exposures for intrusive thoughts? If you haven't asked this question yourself, you've probably wondered about it or Googled it at some point. It's a common question, especially for those beginning their recovery journey with OCD. But here's the thing: it's not a simple question to answer when it comes to understanding and treating intrusive thoughts. Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: • Why treating intrusive thoughts is so complex • What you should be asking instead • Examples of tailored exposures

Let's dive into today's topic: the bad things, or what not to do when you have OCD or anxiety. When I say bad, I mean habits or behaviors that can contribute to feeling stuck and stalled in your recovery, or things that might actually be detrimental to you. These are behaviors that may feel helpful in the moment but just reinforce the cycle of anxiety and compulsions. So, let's go through some of these and talk about why they don't work. Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: 6 Things That I Recommend NOT to do When You Have OCD or Anxiety How to Recognize Compulsive Behaviors What to do instead (what DOES work for OCD and anxiety)

Today, I'm going to talk about living ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) and how this isn't just a one-and-done thing. You can't just dip in and get out. Many people think of ERP as a specific exercise or a series of tasks that you need to complete and then you're done. But the truth is, ERP is so much more than that. It's not just a series of moments; it's really a lifestyle change. Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: What is ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)? A practical example of living with ERP

Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on mindset shifts for lasting change. If you're ready to unlock your potential and see what's truly possible for you in terms of freedom from OCD, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts, this episode is for you. Changing your mindset can be a game changer, especially when you're dealing with anxiety and intrusive thoughts. No, it's not just about thinking positively; it's about transforming how you perceive and respond to challenges. So, let's dive into why mindset matters and how you can start shifting your perspective today. Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: Why mindset is so powerful (and talking about a growth mindset vs. fixed mindset) Real life examples of the power of mindset shifts 4 Practical Tips for Making Mindset Shifts

Today, I want to talk about one of my favorite topics to implement in both my personal and professional life: the impact of small changes. When we're in the thick of OCD, anxiety, and scary thoughts, we can get so caught up in the big picture that we lose sight of the tiny, nuanced changes we could make right here, right now. Let's dive into how these small changes can really make a big impact when it comes to your anxiety and personal growth. Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: The science behind small changes Real life examples of the power of small changes Why small changes matter 4 practical tips for making small changes today

Want to hear 10 things I tell my clients in the first therapy session? Today, I'm giving you a peek into what it's like to have a first session with a therapist who specializes in OCD and anxiety.

Today, I am hammering out a question that I get at least once a day: how to tell when it's more than just anxiety.

Today, I'm diving right into a topic that I know will resonate with so many of you—these fricking mental blocks that are holding you back from what you want so bad. I get so many DMs and emails every single day from people who want desperately to overcome their OCD and anxiety, and to quote, "never have these thoughts again," and to just be able to be with their family. Insert goal here. We all face these difficulties. We are all in our own way in so many different ways. Whether it's fear, self-doubt, or procrastination, today we're going to talk about how to actually overcome those barriers using evidence-based strategies. Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: • 3 ways you are holding yourself back • How to move forward even when it's uncomfortable

Today we are diving into a really fun topic — the new character in Inside Out 2, "Anxiety". For those of you who haven't seen it yet, Inside Out is a movie that personifies emotions as characters inside a young girl's mind. The sequel, released in June 2024, introduces a couple of new characters: Embarrassment, Envy, Ennui (a cool, chill, can't-be-bothered-by-anything character), and of course, Anxiety. I'm sharing 3 of my takeaways with you today! Here's a little preview of what we'll cover: How the movie depicted anxiety What the movie showed us we need to do to help us manage anxiety How anxiety serves a PURPOSE, and can actually benefit us (in moderate doses)

As we wrap up this June, reflecting on previous summers when I was in my haze of OCD and anxiety, I really have much clearer insights into my own struggles with anxiety and indecision and FOMO. In my experience, this is something that's not really often talked about when we talk about OCD and anxiety. I wanted to bring light to it, especially in the summer because it can just exacerbate all of this, right? Especially with social media, we are constantly being bombarded with images and stories of others seemingly living their best lives. And for someone with anxiety, it can create this relentless sense of inadequacy and fear. Today I'm sharing: Understanding Indecision in the Context of OCD and Anxiety The Heightened Impact of FOMO During Summer The Vicious Cycle of Overthinking and Safety Behaviors Feeling Paralyzed With Choices Strategies to Combat Anxiety and Indecision and Embrace the Moment

This week we are talking about anxiety around travel because even though we can travel anytime, I do think that is something that happens a little bit more in the summer. We just have more of an opportunity (and maybe more pressure) to go on these vacations, to book plane flights, to take long road trips in the car, to navigate to places that we've never been or that we don't go to often. That can be really stressful for anybody, but especially when you have anxiety and maybe even OCD wrapped up in there. Let's talk more about it.

This June, we're uncovering the sneaky ways summer social anxiety, along with obsessions and compulsions, tend to surface with the rise in temperature.
