Check out this week's podcast episode about ADHD: https://twoshrinksandamic.buzzsprout.com/2506063/episodes/18895695-ep-40-when-does-distracted-become-adhd

ADHD gets talked about everywhere now, but living with attention struggles is rarely as simple as a label.

Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross take a step back and look at how focus, distraction, and restlessness actually show up over time. They move between childhood and adulthood, where things don’t always look the same but often feel just as frustrating.

They sit with the gray area. The overlap between personality, stress, environment, and diagnosis. The ways people adapt, compensate, or quietly struggle without ever having language for what’s going on.

There’s some humor, some honesty, and a steady thread throughout about how easy it is to miss the bigger picture when everything gets reduced to a trend.

Artificial intelligence is becoming more visible in mental health conversations. In our latest Ask the Experts blog, Dr. Andrew Rosen shares his perspective on AI therapy, its potential benefits, and its limitations within mental health care. While technology can support access to information, human connection remains a critical part of effective treatment.

New podcast episode! Sometimes the hardest part of getting help isn’t finding a therapist. It’s actually walking through the door. Listen now: https://www.centerforanxietydisorders.com/podcast/

Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross talk honestly about the many reasons people struggle to follow through with mental health care. Someone may call a clinic asking about therapy, even schedule an appointment, and still never show up. That gap between wanting help and accepting it is something clinicians see every day.

A lot of it comes down to what psychologists call resistance. Shame, embarrassment, fear of being judged, and the simple discomfort of sharing personal struggles with a stranger can make people hesitate or hold back. Family upbringing, cultural expectations, and the idea that asking for help means something is “wrong” with you all play a role.

They also talk about what happens once someone does make it to therapy. Trust takes time. Painful experiences may not surface until many sessions later. Sometimes people apologize for crying. Sometimes they worry that medication means they are weak or defective. Other times they hope for a quick fix without addressing the deeper issues that led them there.

What most people don’t realize is that resistance doesn’t disappear. It’s part of being human. Therapy often means working through that resistance slowly, building trust, and recognizing that emotional pain is just as real as physical pain. For many people, simply showing up is already half the battle.

Anxiety and panic are not just emotional experiences. They are whole-body responses driven by the nervous system’s attempt to protect you. From a racing heart to muscle tension and digestive changes, these physical sensations can feel overwhelming, but they are common and temporary stress responses. Understanding what is happening in your body can help reduce fear and build confidence in managing anxiety when it arises.

Many of the issues people seek therapy for depression, anxiety, relationship problems, substance use often have trauma somewhere in the background. The challenge is that trauma is not always obvious, and it does not always look the way people expect. Listen to the full episode here: https://www.centerforanxietydisorders.com/podcast/

Dr. David Gross and Dr. Andrew Rosen talk through why trauma can be difficult to recognize and even harder to treat. Memories connected to traumatic experiences can live deep in the brain, carrying emotions, sensations, and reactions that can be triggered years later. That is part of why people may suddenly relive intense fear, even when the original event happened long ago.

They explore the difference between trauma with a capital T and trauma with a small t. Major events like war, violence, or disasters are easier to identify, but more subtle experiences emotional abuse, neglect, chronic criticism, or social media bullying can also leave lasting marks that shape trust, relationships, and coping behaviors.

They also discuss approaches like somatic therapies, virtual reality exposure, and EMDR, along with the limits of medication when trauma is the underlying issue. Along the way, they emphasize the importance of working with clinicians who truly understand trauma and the role that partners and families can play in supporting recovery.

The message throughout is simple but important: trauma is more common than many people realize, it often hides beneath other struggles, and with the right kind of help, people can move forward.

At The Center for Treatment of Anxiety and Mood Disorders, we provide evidence based treatment that helps clients understand panic responses, reduce avoidance, and regain a sense of safety and control.

Exposure Therapy is an evidence based Cognitive Behavior Therapy approach that helps clients gradually face feared situations, thoughts, or environments in a safe and structured way. This treatment is especially effective for anxiety disorders such as OCD, phobias, panic disorder, and social anxiety because it retrains the brain to respond more accurately to perceived threats. At The Center for Treatment of Anxiety and Mood Disorders, therapists guide clients through carefully planned exposure exercises that reduce avoidance behaviors and build confidence over time.

New podcast!! Everybody’s heard the word trauma. It’s everywhere right now. But what does it actually mean in real life, outside of headlines and diagnostic labels? Check out the latest episode now: https://www.centerforanxietydisorders.com/podcast/

In this episode, Dr. David Gross and Dr. Andrew Rosen walk through how our understanding of trauma has changed over time. It used to mean war, plane crashes, near death experiences. Now we know it can also include childhood emotional abuse, chronic instability at home, witnessing violence, or even living for years in an environment that never felt safe.

They talk about the difference between classic post-traumatic stress disorder and what’s often called complex trauma, the kind that builds slowly over time. The kind that can shape trust, relationships, mood, coping habits, and even the way someone expects the world to treat them.
There’s a thoughtful discussion about how trauma gets stored in the brain, especially in the amygdala, why certain sounds or situations can instantly trigger old memories, and why two people can go through the same event and respond very differently. They also explore why early patterns of mistrust can echo into adulthood and show up as depression, substance use, eating disorders, or repeated painful relationships.

The conversation is honest but hopeful. Being a victim of trauma is real. Staying identified as a victim forever doesn’t have to be. Recovery is possible, and understanding what happened is often the first step toward becoming a survivor.
