Katie is terrified of dying. As the youngest in a big family, she can't stop thinking about the fact that all her loved ones may die before she does. Katie is a comedy writer who knows how to get laughs, but her obsession with death is real, and getting in the way of living. In this episode of How To!, we bring on Rachel Menzies, a psychologist and researcher at the University of Sydney and author of Tales from the Valley of Death, to share what she's learned about death anxiety. Exposure therapy is often the most effective way to overcome your fears, but how do you expose yourself to death? Rachel has some unusual ideas for Katie—and all of us—to take control of these intrusive thoughts, starting with lying in a body bag. Focusing deliberately on death, Rachel says, can actually help us appreciate life. If you liked this episode, check out “How To Not Be Scared.” Are you afraid of something?

Welcome to season two of More Than A Feeling! Inspired by an email from a curious listener who's been struggling with feelings of dread, Saleem begins investigating. After a call-out to listeners it becomes clear: we're in a dread-pocalypse right now, and many of us are trying to muscle through it alone. It turns out, though, that there's a surprising amount of joy and humor in just starting an open conversation about the things we dread, whether it's the mundane stuff like “Sunday scaries” or our deepest dreads, like losing a loved one, political polarization or fears around the climate crisis. Clinical Psychologists Dr. Ali Mattu and Dr. Rachel Menzies join the show to explain why we have this scary feeling in the first place, and how we can start coping better. This “dreadisode” is just the beginning of The Dread Project: a miniseries and interactive listener challenge. Starting Monday, November 14, we'll publish five days of short episodes about the different things listeners are dreading. Each one tackles dread in a different way, and offers fun, quick, mindful exercises listeners can try – along with Saleem and thousands of others. The goal is to see if we can all feel a little better, even when we're anticipating the worst. Sign up for The Dread Project Challenge at dreadproject.com and you'll get five days of emails with insights from each day's episode and the exercise that goes with it. You'll also find instructions in our FAQ for how to send us a voice memo, telling us what you think of the project. If you send one in, don't forget to include your name and where you're from. You might hear yourself on an upcoming episode! You can also follow More Than A Feeling on Twitter at podfeelings. Sign up for the Dread Project Listener Challenge here: dreadproject.com. If you're seeing this after the challenge has begun, don't worry! You can sign up and participate anytime.For more information about More Than A Feeling, The Dread Project, and today's guests, check out our show notes at:https://www.tenpercent.com/mtaf-podcast-episodes/welcome-to-dread-projectAnd if digging into dread is very difficult or intense for you, some additional resources that could help are listed below.Search for a therapist: Alma ZencareAPA Psychologist Locator Mental Health Resources:How Right Now | Finding What Helps Adult Mental Health Resources from the CDCMental Health America Apps:Try the Ten Percent Happier app for free for thirty days by visiting tenpercent.com/more and check out the meditation pack made especially for working with dread.Dare App - free app to help with anxious momentsIf you are currently experiencing a mental health crisis, please click here, text 741741, or call 988.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr Rachel Menzies is a clinical psychologist based in Sydney. She specialises in treating fears of death, anxiety and depression using CBT.

Chaired by Rick Sarre This affirming book is less about death than how to counteract the fear of it and live a better life. Psychologists Rachel and Ross Menzies examine the many ways humans grapple with the dread of our demise, from the good, such as enduring art, to the bad, such as rampant consumerism and overpopulation. Insightful, illuminating and generous, Mortals: How the Fear of Death Shaped Society gives us the tools to overcome the fear of our own mortality – death anxiety – to enjoy our life while we have it.

In this episode, we speak to Dr Rachel Menzies. Rachel is a clinical psychologist and member of the Australian Psychological Society. She is currently practising in Sydney's eastern suburbs. Rachel completed her Honours degree in psychology at the University of Sydney, winning the Dick Thompson Thesis Prize for her work on death anxiety and its relationship with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Rachel completed her Masters of Clinical Psychology and her PhD at the University of Sydney. Rachel has published extensively on the causes of various disorders, including depression, OCD, panic disorder, illness anxiety, social anxiety, agoraphobia, generalised anxiety disorder and specific phobias, as well as on gender differences in anxiety. Rachel was featured in The Conversation Yearbook 2016, a collection of the top 1% of ‘standout articles from Australia's top thinkers. Rachel is the lead editor of the book Curing the Dread of Death: Theory, Research and Practice, published by Australian Academic Press in 2018. In 2019, she released her second book: Tales from the Valley of Death: Reflections from Psychotherapy on the Fear of Death. In 2021, Rachel released Mortals: How the Fear of Death Shaped Human Society.

In conversation with Rachel Menzies, a psychologist at the University of Sydney whose research focusses on the association between death anxiety and psychopathology. We discuss the role of death anxiety during the COVID19 pandemic, Terror Management Theory and the psychological benefits of contemplating daily your inevitable demise.

Now before you scroll past... it's not as depressing as you think lol. In this episode we interview my friend and colleague Rachel Menzies from the Social Cognition and Individual Differences lab at Sydney University. Rachel specializes in death anxiety, the fear or death or Thanatophobia. We dive into where the fear of death may come from, ways it manifests, and ways to lessen it. Check it out. 

Tales from the Valley of Death: Reflections from psychotherapy on the fear of death. It sounds morbid but it's not. It's fascinating.Tales introduces us to the complex lives of 10 individuals who have been crippled by death-related fears and related existential issues. Their stories are told through interviews with their psychotherapist, internationally renowned clinical psychologist Professor Ross Menzies. It's a captivating read.In this episode Rachel and I explore these stories and discuss cultural responses to death anxiety. We delve into some of the existential issues surrounding our fear of death and rejoice in the Death Positive Movement - a revolution in our approach to death.Questions I ask Rachel include:Why write a book about death and psychotherapy?What is 'death anxiety' in a modern, psychological sense?Do we all worry about death and at what point do these worries become problematic?What does science say about the link between death anxiety and complex mental illness, particularly OCD?How is a family history of anxiety and trauma linked to death anxiety and OCD?What role does a sense of meaning and purpose in life have in protecting us from mental illness and death anxiety?How can our relationships transform our wellbeing?I also reflect on my rituals, superstitions and childhood worries about danger and death and ask Rachel, 'Is this normal?'It's a fascinating topic and I walked away from the interview knowing so much more about psychotherapy, the relationship that a therapist forms with a client, obsessive compulsive disorder and the experiences that shape us to become who we are. Most of all I learned about the resilience of individuals facing the most difficult of fears and circumstances.

Rachel Menzies researches the role of death anxiety in mental health. She is passionate about ancient history and psychology. From Gilgamesh and Persephone, to the local death café and anxiety disorders, Rachel came to realise that a fear of death, and an avoidance of talking about it, is pervasive throughout human history. For Rachel, mindfulness of death helps her to live deliberately and in the moment, living with meaning, purpose, and a deep appreciation of life. It is about “using death to live well.” Rachel Menzies is a clinical psychology and PhD candidate. Along with Ross Menzies and Lisa Iverach, she recently edited the book Curing the Dread of Death.
