Loneliness isn’t a personal failure.
It’s a cultural signal.
Many people aren’t lacking effort.
They’re lacking places where connection can happen naturally.

📋 Admin nights are everywhere right now. They help people finally tackle the tasks they’ve been avoiding and they work for reasons that go far beyond motivation.

According to psychologists, including our very own Dr. Debra Kissen, founder of Light On Anxiety, admin nights support mental health in real, evidence-based ways:
👥 Reduce avoidance
Doing tasks alongside someone else makes anxiety feel more manageable.
🧩 Lower overwhelm
Clear structure and set time blocks reduce mental load and decision fatigue.
✅ Increase follow-through
Accountability helps people complete tasks they normally put off.
💬 Reduce shame
You realize you’re not the only one struggling with adult responsibilities.
🤍 Support regulation without pressure

Quiet connection can calm the nervous system without requiring conversation. This approach is often called body doubling, a strategy used in CBT for anxiety and ADHD to improve focus, emotional regulation, and follow-through.

📍 Admin nights can be virtual or in person.
🍪 They can include snacks.
🕒 They can happen any time of day.

The goal is not productivity perfection.
The goal is to make life feel less overwhelming and more supported.

🧠 You don’t need a perfectly clean home to feel calm.
Clutter becomes stressful when it crosses your nervous system’s tolerance, not when things look imperfect.

Small, intentional resets can bring relief long before everything is finished.
This isn’t about discipline or productivity.
It’s about regulation.

AI connection can feel comforting, easy, and instantly relieving.
If you’re drawn to it, that doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.

It means your brain is seeking safety and predictability when you’re overwhelmed.

In this post, we explore why AI intimacy feels so soothing, where it falls short, and why real, imperfect human connection still matters for mental health.

Anxiety isn’t just about thoughts.

It’s also about how your brain responds to physical sensations.
Emma Harkavy, LPC explains interoceptive exposures, a CBT technique that helps people learn to experience body sensations without treating them as danger.

By safely practicing sensations like dizziness or a racing heart, the nervous system can relearn what is uncomfortable versus what is actually unsafe.

Perfection can look like motivation, discipline, and high standards.

But for many people, it quietly fuels anxiety, burnout, and constant self-pressure.

If finishing things never feels satisfying, or relief fades almost immediately, it may not be because you need to try harder.
It may be because your nervous system is stuck chasing certainty instead of safety.

In this post, we explain why “good enough” is actually healthier for your brain, and how learning to stop at done can reduce anxiety and restore energy.

How We Work

Our mission is to decrease the pain and suffering associated with untreated anxiety disorders.

We offer CBT based treatment to children, adolescents and adults with a focus on anxiety and stress-related disorders, including OCD, PTSD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, separation anxiety disorder, compulsive skin picking, and trichotillomania. We apply the principles of evidence-based treatments, while at the same time treating the whole person, with deep respect for the human spirit and the challenges we all face on our journey through life. We strive to make our clients their own anxiety coaches and to keep treatment as short-term as possible. There is nothing we appreciate more than when clients arrive at a place where they they no longer need external assistance to manage their anxiety symptoms. We often states to our clients, “We strive to become unnecessary in your life.”

Light on Anxiety CBT Treatment Centers offer accessible, effective, practical treatment for anxiety and related disorders. We strive to quickly get you in and out and back to your life.
