How do we become who we are? In our final session with real anxiety patient “Jared,” he and Dr. Maggie tackle this fundamental question, exploring his journey from self-loathing and perfectionism to compassionate self-acceptance, and identifying the impacts of that change on every aspect of his life, from the creation of healthy daily habits to shifting onto a more value-aligned career path. It’s never too late to become the person you know you were meant to be!

If you’re finding it difficult to stay motivated and on-task during the pandemic, you’re not alone. The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted the routines and structures we rely on to keep us productive and stable, triggering a shadow pandemic of avoidance and apathy. Happily, though, you don’t need a vaccine to get your life back in order, just a solid routine.

Sharing our true feelings with others can feel like a risk. But as Anxiety & OCD patient “Jared” will attest, that risk can bring remarkable rewards. In the second installment of this 4-part series, Dr. Maggie and “Jared” explore the root causes of avoidance, the value of vulnerability and accepting support, and the benefits of turning toward your shadow and exposing it to the light of community.

The cycle of avoidance is so deeply ingrained for many of us that we’re not even aware it’s happening, and don’t realize how much suffering it’s causing. In his first recorded session, real therapy patient “Jared” opens up about his history with avoidance, and how he’s using therapy, compassionate self-talk, and a passion for cycling to break the avoidance cycle and create new, healthier habits.

There’s exposure, and then there’s intentional exposure. In anxiety recovery, it’s important to practice both intentional exposure (seeking out controlled exposures on purpose) and handling incidental exposures as they come up. But did you know it works best to focus on those two practices in a certain order? Find out which order is most effective, and get some wonderful actionable tools for both from real anxiety patient “Catherine” and Dr. Maggie in part 3 of this 4 part series.

People often think of perfectionists as people who deliver perfect results. But the reality is that the compulsion to perform every task perfectly often results in avoidance, anxiety, and procrastination leading to late, incomplete, or altogether absent outcomes. If you have trouble getting started on tasks, that doesn’t mean you’re lazy, it could mean you’re struggling with clinical perfectionism. But don’t panic, huddle.care is here to help!

You may be social distancing, but are you psychological distancing? Anxiety and OCD can have a serious impact on our ability to live the lives we want to live, but that doesn’t mean we have to relate to every anxious thought as though it is a threat. In her debut episode, real anxiety patient “Catherine” shares her best tips and tricks for defusing anxiety and injecting lightness through distancing.

Hindsight is 20/20. But it’s a wonderful feeling to look back on the past, knowing how differently things would have gone if we’d had the knowledge and tools back then that we have now, and will be even more proficient at using in the future. It’s even better to recognize that the limitations of the present are only temporary, and that by transforming our underlying belief systems (a.k.a. our B.S.) we can look forward to a future full of hope and freedom to live in line with our values. And that’s just part of the message of positive progress OCD and Anxiety patient “Larisa” shares with us in this 3rd episode of our 4-part series. Don’t miss it, and don’t keep it to yourself! Hope is meant to be shared.

OCD and anxiety can make us feel like we’re alone in the world, especially when events beyond our control start popping up in our news feed. But attending group therapy like huddle.care, and listening to this podcast are two great ways to remind ourselves that we are never alone, and that there’s no need to suffer in solitude. United, we thrive!

Q: When is exercise unhealthy?
A: When it’s a compulsion to be challenged and resisted!
In this, our second session with real OCD and anxiety patient “Larisa,” Dr. Maggie reminds us that anything can be a compulsion, and anything can be an exposure, depending on how it functions for you. Even “good” and “healthy” behaviors can become problematic when we use them to avoid anxiety or emotional processing.
This month, we’re focusing on preparing for the anxious moment and trigger awareness. As you listen, think about some of your most common triggers, both internal and external, and what behavior those triggers compel you to engage in. For extra credit, ask yourself what the opposite of that activity would be.
Feeling brave? Try sharing one of your triggers in the comments!

Even before COVID, today’s guest “Larisa” (a real OCD & Anxiety patient in the Huddle.care program) was uncomfortable with going against the grain and worried that something terrible might happen if she stepped out of line, spoke out of turn, or failed to over-prepare for anything that might come up. But thanks to Dr. Maggie and Huddle, “Larisa” is getting comfortable with discomfort, avoiding avoidance, and transforming from a conflict-averse people-pleaser to finding real satisfaction in speaking her mind and being real with the people she cares about.
