From moral scrupulosity to obsessive intellectualization, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone working in mental health, or for those navigating OCD themselves.

In this episode of Anxiety Chicks, Taylor discusses the concept of reassurance fatigue, particularly in the context of health anxiety. She explores why individuals may struggle to trust medical reassurance and offers practical strategies for building internal reassurance. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing patterns in symptoms, using mantras, and creating a reassurance bank to combat anxiety. Taylor encourages listeners to trust themselves and understand that discomfort does not always equate to danger. What you will learn in this episode:  Reassurance fatigue occurs when medical reassurance no longer alleviates anxiety. Trusting your body again is essential for overcoming health anxiety. Pattern recognition can help in managing anxiety symptoms. Mantras like 'discomfort does not mean danger' can be effective. The 24-hour rule helps in managing panic urges. Creating a reassurance bank can reinforce positive experiences. It's important to track symptoms with curiosity, not obsession. You can build internal reassurance rather than relying solely on external validation. Discomfort is a normal part of life and doesn't always indicate a problem. You have survived 100% of your anxious moments, which builds trust. Don't forget to rate and review The Chicks!

In this episode of The ADHD Parenting Podcast, hosts Ryan Wexelblatt and Mike McLeod explore what it means to “step into your parental authority.” Drawing from research and clinical experience, they discuss how authoritative parenting—balancing warmth with structure—helps children with ADHD develop self-regulation, emotional safety, and independence. The hosts challenge social media's rebranding of permissive parenting as “gentle” or “compassionate” and explain why consistency, clear expectations, and calm modeling are key. They also tackle the fears many parents have about being “too firm,” offering practical examples of how to set limits with empathy and predictability while nurturing connection and confidence in their children.

Scrupulosity isn't just “Catholic guilt gone too far”—it's a deeply painful form of OCD that can hijack your relationship with God. In this episode, Dr. Greg sits down with Stephanie Muncy, CatholicPsych's in-house expert (and someone who's lived it), to unpack what scrupulosity really is, how it distorts the spiritual life, and why the path to healing might look very different than you think. Key Topics: How scrupulosity is actually a debilitating form of OCD The scariest part of scrupulosity? It feels like it's about God—but it's really not Why obsessively going to confession or seeking reassurance only makes things worse The true root of scrupulosity isn't spiritual failure—it's unhealed anxiety How the need to “get it right” spiritually often masks a deeper wound Why you can't “logic your way out” of OCD What healing actually looks like—and why it's not about caring less Why even well-meaning spiritual advice can sometimes make things worse The most powerful thing you can offer someone suffering from scrupulosity Learn More: Blog articles by Stephanie Muncy: How to Settle Anxiety in the Heart and Mind of Someone with OCD The Love that Sets Us Free: A Compassionate Path through OCD Previously on the Being Human Podcast: Ep. #22: A Look at Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Scrupulosity Catholic Mindfulness Virtual Retreat: An 8-week course that brings freedom from anxiety and depression by showing you how to live as if you really believe in a God who loves you.

Send us a textIn a healthcare system that routinely dismisses, blames, and denies treatment to fat patients, it's easy to doubt whether choosing to stay fat is the right decision.

When we're feeling insecure in our relationships (especially during transitions like opening up, navigating new relationship dynamics, or major life changes), we often seek reassurance from our partners. But what does effective reassurance actually look like? How can we offer it authentically without trying to "fix" our partners' feelings? And how do we navigate the complex interplay between reassurance, reciprocity, and fairness?Reassurance in relationships isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. It's an ongoing practice that requires attunement, flexibility, and a deep understanding of your partner's unique needs.In this episode, we talk about:— What reassurance really means: actions, words, and engagement that serve to ease someone's doubts and fears (without guaranteeing those fears will disappear)— Why reassurance needs change based on context, trauma history, and how "full" your threat bucket already is— The essential ingredients for effective reassurance— Why the desire to make everything "fair" in relationships often comes from our wounded parts seeking safety and control— How to ask for specific reassurance: "Can you wrap your arms around me right here and tell me these exact words?"— The challenge of offering reassurance when it conflicts with your values or agreements (like canceling dates with others)— Why some people resist offering ongoing reassurance and what that might mean for the relationship— The possibility of reimagining relationship structures when reassurance needs aren't being met— How our "child parts" often drive our reassurance needs, and why acknowledging this can help us make more aligned requests— The difference between true reciprocity and transactional "fairness"Resources mentioned in this episode:— The Imago Dialogue episode— Imago Dialogue examples— Robin Wall Kimmerer's book Braiding SweetgrassJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

Is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) the only way to treat OCD? What if there's another evidence-based approach that works differently and might even feel more intuitive to some?   In this episode of the OCD Whisperer Podcast, host Kristina Orlova brings together a panel of seasoned OCD clinicians: Mike Heady, Christina Ennabe, Mike Parker, Carl Robbins, and Bronwyn Shroyer. Together, they unpack the essentials of Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) and how it compares to ERP.   They bust common myths like whether ICBT is just arguing with your thoughts and explain how it helps people move out of imagined fears and back into reality. They also dive into when ERP might still be helpful, how ICBT handles doubt differently, and what the research says about its effectiveness.   Whether you're new to ICBT or trying to figure out which approach fits you best, this conversation brings depth, clarity, and a refreshing perspective on OCD treatment.   The 4 things you'll learn in  today's episode: Why mixing ICBT and ERP can be confusing if you don't fully understand both How ICBT focuses on obsessional doubt rather than just intrusive thoughts What “reality sensing” really means and why it's not the same as doing exposures What the research says about ICBT's effectiveness and how it compares to ERP   In This Episode [00:31] Meet the panelists [03:56] Can CBT and IBT/ICT be used together?

If so, you're not alone. And you're definitely not broken. I'm joined by psychotherapist and author Meg Josephson to talk about the fawn response, a lesser-known trauma response that shows up as people-pleasing, overthinking, and needing to manage how others feel about you.

Many individuals struggling with anxiety often find themselves caught in a relentless cycle of seeking reassurance from various sources, be it their doctors, therapists, friends, or even the depths of the internet. Yet, as I highlight, this quest for comfort seldom provides the long-term peace and clarity that the anxious mind desperately craves.I examine how the cornerstone of anxiety stems from a fundamental fear of uncertainty. As our minds grapple with ambiguous symptoms or overwhelming emotions, we instinctively seek out reassurance, believing it will extinguish our fears. However, this only results in temporary relief, as the nature of anxiety is fluid—once one fear is alleviated, another tends to rise in its place. I emphasize the importance of recognizing this cycle for what it is; an exhausting pursuit that ultimately distracts us from acknowledging the true root of our anxiety.Taking a step towards healing, I advocate for the necessity of ruling out any potential medical issues with the help of health care professionals. This critical first step is essential for peace of mind, enabling individuals to focus on the anxiety itself as the primary concern once physical ailments are addressed. I transparently discuss how the physical manifestations of anxiety are very real but remind listeners that these sensations often originate from a state of heightened stress rather than genuine danger—an important distinction in navigating these turbulent emotions.#AnxietyRelief #MentalHealthMatters #Acceptance #StressManagement #CalmYourMind #AnxietySupport #SelfCare #Mindfulness #HealingJourney #PodcastSummary #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #NervousSystemRegulation #EmbraceUncertainty #AnxietyHealing #MindBodyConnection #WellnessJourney #EmotionalWellbeing #Resilience #InnerPeace #OvercomeAnxiety #DailyPractice #StressReduction #AnxietyRecovery #HolisticHealth #TherapeuticJournaling #MeditationForAnxiety #AffirmationsForAnxiety #FightOrFlight #AnxietyAwareness #MentalWellness #SelfAcceptance #CopingSkills #EmotionalBalance #HealthyMindset #NoMoreWorry #FearlessLiving #AnxietySolutions #PersonalGrowth #LiveCalm #BeWell #DrGaborMate #AnxietyCure (not a cure, but a journey) #MentalFitness #EmotionalFreedom #BeyondReassurance #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's devotion in prayer is centered on this topic that everything in your life is going to be okay. How can I say that confidently? Because the Word of God declares this in second Corinthians chapter one, verse ten. We've been discussing how to get through trials, how to overcome trials and suffering. And in our first lesson, we went over that God permit trials and suffering in your life. That simply means that God allowed these things to happen. Now why would God allow them to happen? The Bible says so that you can comfort others. God will comfort you in the midst of trials so that you may know how to comfort others. And in our last episode, we talked about that God not only permit trials to happen in your life, but he also empowers us to bear trials. God will bring us to the end of ourselves so that we can bear trials..............
