  • How to Measure Progress

    How to Measure Progress
    Jan 15 2024
    A few years ago I published a simple model that described how to move through anxious or depressive states. It was useful, but lacking, especially as it didn’t account for the pervasive dissociation found in most cases. Progress in therapy is often non-linear. This post is written a bit more academically, but provides a more complete model of how to decide whether you are getting “better”.

  • Diagnosis Facts, Part 2: Anxiety/OCD

    Diagnosis Facts, Part 2: Anxiety/OCD
    Nov 12 2023
    Welcome to Part 2 in our Diagnosis Education Series. This episode gives some insight into particular manifestations of anxiety, where they come from, and some about what we can do about it. The first reviews hoarding (a very pervasive condition), Obsessions/Compulsions, and other kinds of perfectionism. The second challenges the common concept of an empath and describes the anxiety of savior complexes. The third teaches us about intrusive thoughts. The fourth is about the symptom of over-apologizing, and the last explains how inappropriate reassurance can perpetuate anxiety symptoms.
