Have you ever found yourself worrying about something that you cannot control? How about checking something more than once? Many of the behaviors we engage in while we’re feeling anxious are attempts to control events, situations, or even other people. We believe that if only we check the stove one more time, or think through this issue for the hundredth time, we can keep something bad from happening. Not only do these attempts to control not work, they function to maintain anxiety over time, and can significantly impact quality of life.

In your immediate circle is what you can control, your behaviors and your reactions to the people and events around you. Everything outside of that circle is beyond your control.

A licensed mental health provider with expertise in CBT for OCD, anxiety, and related disorders can help you learn to control what you can, and let go of attempts at control that serve to increase anxiety.

Ever find yourself in a weird situation because you weren’t really paying attention? We all do it. Sometimes we move through the day on autopilot to dodge uncomfortable feelings, thoughts, or tasks. But here’s the twist: not being present, even if you’re thinking about threats to your safety, like in OCD or anxiety, can actually pull us out of the present moment and make us less aware of what’s happening around us.

There’s an unhealthy competition happening in our society; who can sleep the least, eat the least, be the busiest. Your self worth is not equal to how productive you are able to be, you do not have to earn rest. Taking care of basics like sleep, nutrition, and treating physical illness establishes a stable base for better overall mental health.

If you’re in treatment for OCD, anxiety, depression, and you’re not making the progress that you would like, talk to your therapist of course, and, check in with your basic self care to see if any changes can be made.

We experience between 30,000 and 60,000 thoughts per day. That’s at least over 20 thoughts per minute. There is no way that all of those thoughts provide accurate information. As you move through anxiety treatment, you learn to become an active observer of your thoughts. There is tremendous power in learning that thoughts only have the power that you give them, and that you do not need to do anything about them, apart from observe them.

Almost everyone will have a panic attack at some point during their lives. Panic attacks are defined as a sudden rush of fear and anxiety accompanied by a host of physical symptoms such as pounding heart, shortness of breath, tingling in the arms and legs and more. Cognitive symptoms include catastrophic thinking like “I’m doing to die” or “I’m having a heart attack.”

Panic Disorder is diagnosed when panic attacks are accompanied by intense concern about future panic attacks. Panic Disorder is referred to as “the fear of fear,” due to the anxiety around and attempts to avoid the panic symptoms themselves. Agoraphobia develops when someone develops intense fear/avoidant behaviors to places and things that have triggered panic attacks. Panic Disorder can be diagnosed with or without agoraphobia.

Effective treatment for panic disorder involves interoceptive exposure to feared body sensations, in-vivo exposure to feared places and activities, and cognitive restructuring aimed at catastrophic cognitions.
