    This episode asks a simple question: what if the way forward isn't a bigger vision, but a smaller unit of thought? We trace this idea through history, biology, and the quiet architecture of the mind, showing how growth rarely comes from grand gestures. It comes from identifying the one reliable piece worth repeating. The paradigm shift isn't thinking bigger. It's thinking smaller, on purpose, until the small thing becomes unstoppable. Find the smallest version of the idea worth trying Repeat what works instead of chasing what's new Let simple, boring reliability replace the need for certainty Hit play, and start building the small thing that changes everything.

    In this solo episode, I talk about what happens when Relationship OCD thoughts and patterns overlap with "real" relationship concerns. I share some of my own experiences and examples of how OCD can latch onto genuine concerns, disagreements, or areas of uncertainty and turn them into something that feels urgent and impossible to stop thinking about. I also talk about the practice of recognizing when reflection may be shifting into rumination, the pressure to figure out what a concern "means" about your relationship, and the sense of urgency that can make it feel like you need an answer or decision right now. I hold space for multiple realities: something can be worth addressing in your relationship while OCD or anxiety might also be amplifying the need for certainty around it. As with all episodes on Relationship OCD, this episode is not intended to address relationships involving harm, abuse, or concerns about safety. Resonating with parts of this episode does not necessarily mean you live with OCD. STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

    In this fascinating "Women Outside the Garden" episode, host Teri Petersen talks with Ashleigh Gentry, who writes the Substack, "Staying and Straying." Ashleigh's story is very interesting because she talks about something that many of us have never heard of: a form of OCD called "Retroactive Jealousy." Together, she and Terri talk about some of the purity messages/culture that dominated her LDS upbringing and how it interacted with her naturally anxious temperament.  They discuss the repercussions it had for her marriage, but also how her explorations of its origins forced her to see and reconfigure beliefs that were submerged: ones didn't know she was carrying with her into her adult years. As she did, she became more confident. She learned to be self-compassionate and trusting of her own  goodness and deep wisdom. Ashleigh then shares how some of her old beliefs have morphed into healthier (and less literal) ways of viewing the world, as well as the gospel and Jesus Christ. This is story of healing, triumph, and meeting the world with confidence. It's a must listen!

    Famous Brazilian football/soccer star Bruno Fernandes de Souza had the mother of his child, Eliza Samudio, kidnapped, murdered, dismembered, and allegedly fed to a pack of Rottweilers. At the height of his career, Bruno was the celebrated goalkeeper and captain of Flamengo, one of Brazil's biggest football clubs, with fame, money, and an adoring fanbase. But behind that superstar image was an increasingly vicious battle with 25-year-old Eliza Samudio, a former model who became pregnant with Bruno's child and demanded that he acknowledge the baby and provide financial support. Eliza reported threats and violence, sought protection from the courts, and warned that she feared Bruno would kill her. Then, in June 2010, she disappeared. Eliza's remains have never been found, but in 2013, Bruno was convicted for his role in her kidnapping and murder, transforming one of Brazilian football's brightest stars into the central figure of one of the country's most infamous crimes.Follow/Subscribe wherever you are listening!Join our Patreon family!

    Feel Fear Without Believing It: The Consciousness Shift Behind OCD & Anxiety RecoveryIf you're stuck in OCD, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts, here's the thing that keeps you stuck longer than the thoughts themselves. You keep identifying with your mind. It says something, and you believe it must be you, and it must be true, and you have to listen to it. That chain of events is the actual problem, not the theme of the fear.In this episode Matt breaks down why you cannot solve a problem of the mind by using the mind, no matter how much you research, rationalize, or ruminate. Fear is a state. It's a field that runs through your nervous system, and your mind's only job in that moment is to try to explain why it's happening. Trying to think your way out just keeps you inside the loop.What actually shifts things is a different plane entirely: experiencing fear from consciousness instead of from the mind. Not managing it, not fighting it, not solving it. Letting it surface and run its course. That's the real transcendence, and it's an inner realization, not something you get from listening, reading, or understanding harder.Get started here: restoredminds.com/start

    When your child has OCD, treatment doesn't happen in a vacuum. OCD comes home with them. It impacts routines, relationships, school, behavior, and often the way the entire family functions.So why are parents sometimes left on the sidelines of OCD treatment?Parents can be one of the most powerful resources in a child's OCD recovery. You see what happens between therapy sessions, you're often the one navigating accommodations and difficult behaviors, and you're in a unique position to help your child practice the skills they're learning.In this week's episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about what healthy parent involvement in OCD treatment can look like, what information you should have, when it makes sense for a therapist to protect your child's privacy, and some red flags that may indicate you're being left out more than you should be.I also talk about how this changes once your child turns 18 and how parents can continue to be a valuable source of support while respecting their adult child's privacy and autonomy.If you've ever wondered whether you're too involved, not involved enough, or whether you should be advocating for a bigger role in your child's treatment, this episode is for you.

    Host Ophira Eisenberg brings back this favorite episode with Adam Cayton-Holland in celebration of his new film See You When I See You recently featured at the Sundance Film Festival, the Nantucket Film Festival, and more.  They talk about the peculiar math of building a creative life around two young children, five-year-old Malcolm and a two-year-old, and how becoming a parent turned the ambitious comedian who once imagined “conquering the world” into someone who now negotiates club weekends down to the hour so he can catch the first flight home. His new special Wallpaper gets its title from his observation that once you have kids, you become the supporting character in your own life, and he admits that dialing back his career was less a sacrifice than a necessary recognition that his children changed what he wanted from his time; after two days away, he misses his boys enough to optimize every travel itinerary around getting home. That shift extends to his wife, who initially imagined she would be “alpha mom” but discovered she also needed time to be a person outside motherhood, and to the small rituals of being a touring dad, like bringing his wife coffee beans and his sons treats from airports—after learning the hard way that three stuffed animals are considerably less useful to a two-year-old than plane pretzels. The conversation also moves into Cayton-Holland's history as a Denver comedian who helped build the city's DIY comedy scene with The Grawlix, his early work as a substitute teacher, and the strange realization that he was good with little kids but terrible with middle schoolers, whom he describes as having adult feelings and no acceptable outlet except cruelty. The emotional center of the episode is his family history and the death of his younger sister Lydia, whose depression, OCD, and suicide forced him to confront his own anxiety and fears about passing mental illness to his children; he talks about EMDR therapy, the recurring traumatic memories he eventually learned to “file away,” and how writing his memoir Tragedy Plus Time gave him a way to tell Lydia's story with the care he felt it required. Rather than treating comedy as automatic healing, he explains why he initially stopped performing altogether, then eventually returned through a one-man show where audiences understand that the story can be funny without pretending everything is okay. Parenting brings the conversation back to the everyday indignities of raising children, from a five-year-old who threatens to call the police because his mother ran a yellow light to the nightly competition over which parent gets chosen at bedtime, while Cayton-Holland quietly counts his teeth when his mind wanders—and still somehow insists there are 32 of them when he actually has 28.

    This month we turn to psychiatric topics, beginning with an important clinical question: when a child or adolescent presents with unusual thoughts, perceptions, or behaviors, how do we distinguish psychosis from other psychiatric or medical conditions?In this episode, our host Paul Wirkus, MD and guest Kristi Kleinschmit, MD discuss psychotic experiences and how they can occur in conditions including major depression, bipolar disorder, and OCD, as well as with substance use and trauma or PTSD. We explore how to think about experiences such as imaginary friends and vivid imagination, and when symptoms such as catatonia should prompt a closer evaluation.The conversation also emphasizes the importance of looking beyond a psychiatric diagnosis. Infection, other medical illnesses, and genetic syndromes can all play a role in changes in behavior or perception, making a thoughtful history and appropriate medical evaluation essential. The episode offers pediatricians a framework for recognizing concerning symptoms, considering the broader differential diagnosis, and determining when additional evaluation or referral is needed.Have a question for our hosts or guests?

    OCD specialist, therapist, educator and founder of The OCD Therapists, Lee Solomon joins the Brainz Podcast to explore one of the world's most misunderstood mental-health conditions: obsessive-compulsive disorder. Drawing on his own lived experience and his work supporting clients, Lee reveals why OCD is about far more than being tidy or organised, and why intrusive thoughts can feel so frighteningly real.In this episode, Lee explains how OCD can create an exhausting cycle of unwanted thoughts, distress and compulsions. He explores how checking, reassurance-seeking, researching, avoidance and rumination can become attempts to “fix” fear, and why the relentless hunt for certainty can quietly take over a person's life.Lee also shares his deeply personal journey with harm OCD, from living in fear of his own intrusive thoughts to finally understanding what was happening and finding a path forward. He discusses why OCD can affect even highly capable people and why recovery is not about trying to outthink every thought that appears.From intrusive thoughts, compulsions and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to radical acceptance, uncertainty, self-compassion and the courage to face fear differently, this conversation offers an honest and practical look at OCD through the eyes of someone who has both lived it and dedicated his career to treating it. Lee also shares the message he most wants listeners to hear: your thoughts do not define you, and recovery is possible with the right support.With podcast host Míceál O'KaneEnjoy the episode!

He stood up to read and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord. Rolling up the scroll, He handed it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at Him. He said to them, “Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” And all spoke highly of Him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from His Mouth. They also asked, “Is this not the Son of Joseph?” He said to them, “Surely you will quote me this proverb, ‘Physician, cure yourself,' and say, ‘Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.'” And He said, “Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place. Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah when the sky was closed for three and a half years and a severe famine spread over the entire land. It was to none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon. Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury. They rose up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl Him down headlong. But He passed through the midst of them and went away. Saints in Heaven, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day

    How should biblical counselors engage secular psychology and the many other voices seeking to understand human desires and motivations? In this final episode of our seven-part series on CCEF's distinctives, Gunner Gundersen is joined by Jonathan Holmes, Dr. Mike Emlet, and Dr. Todd Stryd to explore CCEF's seventh distinctive: "Biblical counseling engages with the voices around us." They discuss how biblical counselors can neither simply embrace nor dismiss other perspectives, but instead engage them charitably and critically. The conversation explores what it means to reframe, translate, and be provoked by observations from secular psychology and other sources, always interpreting and refining them through the question, "Who is the Lord, and what does he say?" The group considers practical examples from OCD treatment and trauma, as well as how this approach shapes pastoral care in the local church. Throughout, they emphasize that Christians don't need to be fearful of other voices or diagnoses. Instead, we can listen with curiosity, bring the richness of Scripture to people's experiences, and minister as fellow saints, sufferers, and sinners.

    Elul is meant to awaken us—not overwhelm us. Yet for many people, the sound of the shofar and the approach of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur can trigger anxiety, perfectionism, and the crushing feeling that we must change our entire lives overnight.In this rebroadcast, we sit down with licensed psychotherapist and clinical social worker Mordechai Weiss to explore a healthier, Torah-centered approach to Elul and teshuvah. How can we distinguish genuine yirat Shamayim—awe of Heaven—from unhealthy fear? Mordechai explains that authentic yirah should help us grow and function better. When religious intensity leaves us frozen, overwhelmed, or trapped in a cycle of short-lived inspiration and burnout, it may be time to reconsider our approach.We also confront the dangers of perfectionism in avodas Hashem. When spiritual growth becomes focused only on performance and results, we may push ourselves beyond our limits—or become discouraged and give up entirely. Real teshuvah is not a frantic one-month transformation. It is patient, honest growth that can endure long after the High Holidays are over.You'll learn how to choose a realistic kabbalah, understand what has prevented change in the past, discover a personal reason to keep going, and make one meaningful commitment that can survive real life. We also discuss anxiety, OCD, kedusha struggles, and compulsive or addictive patterns—offering a practical path that replaces shame and despair with clarity, hope, and a workable plan.In this episode:How to distinguish yirat Shamayim from anxietyWhy Elul inspiration often leads to burnoutOvercoming perfectionism in avodas HashemHow to make a realistic and lasting kabbalahApproaching OCD, addiction, and kedusha struggles without shameBuilding a serious, hopeful, and emotionally healthy path to teshuvahIf Elul pressure has ever made you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or spiritually stuck, this conversation is for you.Subscribe to The Motivation Congregation, share this episode with someone who may need it, and leave a review telling us the one small commitment you hope to make last this year.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!----------------SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly talk on the week's Parsha.Listen on Spotify or 24six!Access all Torah talks and listen to featured episodes on our website, themotivationcongregation.org----------------Questions or Comments?

This podcast is educational and is NOT crisis management, therapy, or individualized treatment.In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole explores a question many people are afraid to ask: Will being honest with my therapist about suicidal thoughts automatically get me hospitalized?Nicole breaks down why suicidal ideation isn't one-size-fits-all, including passive versus active thoughts, intent, plan, access to means, protective factors, and acute versus chronic risk. She also explains why disclosure does not automatically mean hospitalization—and why not having a specific plan doesn't automatically mean someone is safe or cannot be hospitalized. Risk assessment requires context, clinical judgment, and the whole clinical picture.For the OCD community, Nicole also discusses the important distinction between unwanted intrusive thoughts about suicide or self-harm and suicidal desire or intent, while emphasizing that these experiences require individualized assessment by a qualified clinician.If you or someone you love may act on thoughts of suicide, cannot stay safe, or is experiencing an immediate mental health crisis, please seek professional help now.

    That Anxiety Guy - Straight Talk And Help With Anxiety, Panic and Agoraphobia
    Anxiety and OCD: The Strategy Mismatch Issue | EP 351

    Anxiety disorders and OCD are what you get when a perfectly functioning brain applies its usual problem-solving strategies to the wrong problem. Your brain is good at solving things. The trouble is it keeps trying to solve something that isn't actually the problem, and that's what keeps you stuck in the loop: trigger, fix, feel better for a while, repeat.In this episode I want to introduce the concept of strategy mismatch. The things that seem to need fixing in anxiety and OCD (the intrusive thoughts, the physical sensations, the worries about health or relationships or moral character, the uncertainty you can't seem to resolve) are not the actual problem. The actual problem is the fear and discomfort those things produce, and the endless attempts to eliminate that discomfort are what keep the disorder running.How do you know? Because when you escape, avoid, reassure yourself, or perform a compulsion and feel better for a little while, the problem isn't solved. You just bought temporary relief until the cycle starts again. The strategy doesn't match the problem in front of you.I talk through what the right strategy looks like, why it's counterintuitive, what gets in the way of applying it, and why this whole framing is actually good news. You don't have to solve your heartbeat, or the opinions of others, or the unpredictability of being alive. That was never going to work anyway.For full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/351Want to talk about this episode or interact with me, Josh Fletcher, and folks that are sharing your experience and understand it?

    Perinatal mental health is often a misunderstood landscape shaped by stigma, cultural expectations, and invisible struggles that touch entire families. In this replay episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker sits down with Dr. Kat Kaeni, perinatal mental health certified psychologist, author of The Pregnancy Workbook, and host of the Mom & Mind podcast, to break the silence around postpartum anxiety, depression, OCD, and psychosis. Drawing on her professional expertise and personal experience, Dr. Kat reveals why shame and isolation are so common, how symptoms really show up for new parents, and what makes perinatal mental health distinct from other forms of mental illness. They discuss the myths that keep parents suffering in silence, the real impact of mental health on babies and families, and how therapy and support groups, including free resources from Postpartum Support International, can empower families on the path to healing.

My guest is Shapel Lacey, who over the years and has talked about one of the most important people in his life, a mentor and therapist named Chip Chilton. Through an amazing fan of The HoneyDew, Chip reached out to us. We passed his information along to Shapel, and after more than 15 years without seeing or speaking to each other, Shapel and Chip reconnected. Now, for our 400th episode, they're sitting down together for an incredible full-circle conversation. We talk about childhood, abuse, trauma, anger, confusion, love, mental health, therapy, and what it's like trying to make sense of life when no one ever gave you the tools to understand it.  We talk about finding comedy and humor in trauma and darkness, the healing power of music, learning how to communicate as men, and accepting that no matter how far you've come, you're still a work in progress. Most importantly, we talk openly about men's mental health and therapy and why asking for help, talking about your feelings, and working on yourself doesn't make you weak. This episode is everything The HoneyDew has always been about - Highlighting the Lowlights and finding the humor in the darkest parts of life, and it doesn't happen without you!
