This week we are talking about anxiety around travel because even though we can travel anytime, I do think that is something that happens a little bit more in the summer. We just have more of an opportunity (and maybe more pressure) to go on these vacations, to book plane flights, to take long road trips in the car, to navigate to places that we've never been or that we don't go to often. That can be really stressful for anybody, but especially when you have anxiety and maybe even OCD wrapped up in there. Let’s talk more about it.
Today I'm sharing:
- My Personal Challenge of Facing Unknowns
- The Trap of Safety Behaviors
- Empowering Strategies for Travel Anxiety
- Embracing Travel with Values-Based Decisions

In this episode, I meet with Naomi Matlow, an OCD advocate, musical theater lyricist, writer, and educator who studies Mindfulness. We talk about Buddhism's Four Noble Truths as they relate to the anxiety and OCD cycle. We also discuss..
- How to mindfully handle difficult concepts like taboo thoughts, uncertainty, and perceived inability to cope with uncomfortable emotions
- How thinking is the sixth sense door of experience in Buddhist psychology (seeing, smelling, touching, tasting, hearing, thinking) and how this connects with active minds and intrusive thoughts
- How Jeffrey M. Schwartz’s 1996 book, Brain Lock: Free Yourself from Obsessive Compulsive Behavior, would not exist without Buddhist wisdom and the path of freedom laid out by the Buddha
- The Buddhist concept of the "self" and "non-self," and how they are helpful concepts in loosening the grip around cognitive fusion.
Naomi Matlow is a musical theatre lyricist, writer, and educator. Her songs have been performed at venues such as 54 Below, The Great Hall at Cooper Union, Goodspeed Opera House, the Polyphone Festival at University of the Arts and at the IOCDF Conference. She recently completed her MA in Mindfulness Studies at Lesley University and leads a monthly Dharma Club at Soft Landing Space in Ventura, California. BA: University of Toronto, MFA: NYU Tisch’s Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program. www.naomimatlow.com

In this episode, I talk to OCD and anxiety advocate, Elysse Lescarbeau, about techniques typically reserved for OCD and anxiety are actually beneficial for everyone. We also discuss..
- Her "Stay PUT" method of managing anxiety in the moment
- Our 5 strategies typically reserved for OCD/anxiety that can be helpful for all individuals
- Why and how ERP is absolutely necessary for OCD and anxiety recovery
Elysse Lescarbeau (@ocd.or.just.me) has A LOT of lived experience with mental health issues with diagnoses. Elysse had been struggling in silence due to a lack of OCD awareness - she thought her obsessive thoughts and mental only compulsions were “just her”. A year after being hospitalized for SI, with a long overdue OCD diagnosis and treatment under her belt, she hopes to offer others the knowledge she wished she’d had - how OCD can present very differently from common media portrayals, why gold standard therapy techniques for OCD can go beyond treating acute symptoms, and how recovery and a less anxious life IS possible.
Follow her on Instagram @ocd.or.just.me and check out her free resource - the Values in Action Digital Workbook (https://stan.store/ocdorjustme/p/free-find-my-values-worksheet) - for her tried and true techniques to take value-driven action everyday, even while anxious.

In this episode, I talk about one of biggest mindset shifts I've ever had around OCD and my brain in general - and why I think there's so much to be grateful for despite having scary thoughts. I talk about ...
- A post from Dr. Laura Johnson (@ocddoodles on Instagram), inspired by a concept in a book by Jon Hershfield (@ocdbaltimore on Instagram)
- The ways in which we are all funny, unique, and creative despite having scary thoughts
- How our brains and perspectives are different from those who do not have OCD

Research shows that, up to 80% of the time, professionals will misdiagnose OCD when it is not a clear-cut, conventional subtype or manifestation (e.g., fear of germs, needing to have things be perfect). The frequency with which OCD is misdiagnosed has devastating and significant impacts. In this episode, I talk about why OCD gets misdiagnosed so often and what we can possibly do to reduce this issue.
I also talk about..
- How societal beliefs and interpretations of OCD have changed over time
- Specific ways in which you can advocate to others regarding misdiagnosis and misinformation
- Systemic issues that directly cause this problem in the first place

In this episode, I discuss one of the recurring questions that I hear so many of my patients and followers asking. This also happens to be the one question I wish people wouldn't ask themselves during OCD and anxiety recovery.

What is normal? or, What would a normal person do?
Specifically, I cover...
- The reasons why people should AVOID asking themselves this question
- The importance of reframing your mindset and instead asking yourself, What is "good" for my personal treatment goals?
- Tips and tricks for putting this into practice
- The benefits of prioritizing your OCD and anxiety recovery, above all else

You'll see what happens to your anxiety over time in both scenarios and why you're better off biting the bullet, sticking to it, and doing the hard things vs. ritualizing. I'll tell you what to expect so that you feel more prepared and better equipped going into your first exposure or challenging situation.

In this episode, I go over why talk or "supportive" therapy isn't helpful for OCD/anxiety and, moreso, how these therapy approaches can actually be harmful for these symptoms. I talk about how to approach conversations with a therapist about Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and why ERP is necessary in order for long-lasting, legitimate change to occur with OCD and anxiety. I'll provide you with some resources to find an ERP therapist in your area and how to address common blocks or hesitancies in taking the leap for this kind of therapy.

In this episode, I go over some ways that symptoms of various psychological "disorders", such as anxiety, OCD, and depression, can actually be normal and functional - in reasonable doses. At what point does it become unreasonable? I'll give you some questions you can ask yourself to determine whether you simply have an "anxious personality", anxious tendencies, anxiety symptoms, or something indicative of a formal diagnosis. I go over the diagnostic criteria for OCD and the "red flags" for knowing whether you're at the tipping of point of potentially being able to benefit from therapy. I also provide resources for you to find a therapist in your area.

In this episode, I discuss the battle between spirituality (e.g. law of attraction) and mental health (e.g, thought action fusion/magical thinking) concepts, and how it is that some individuals can find the law of attraction so triggering while others find it immensely helpful. I talk about how I think spirituality and mental health treatment can be complementary to one another, and how law of attraction can actually support the process of Exposure and Response Prevention. You'll hear my thoughts on how to respond to "triggering" information and how to be more flexible and adaptable to the world around you.
