Hi Zach, I hope you post most of your ‘short videos’ here as well as the ones you have on Instagram. Thanks for all that you do. God bless you and your family.

This is very important! Especially to Dr Micheal J Greenberg's work. We CAN'T habituate to anxiety.

Love her!!!

Brookes story seems to be the one I always draw the most toward in withdrawal with the violent intrusive thoughts that feel almost like hallucinations. Her describing that fog like shield across your mind helps me a ton. Thank you, amazing interview👏🏼

the more i learn about OCD the more i believe what the bible is telling us

👍🏼

Thank you so much for uploading these. I know this hasn't got many views but this does really help and it needs to be seen by more people. I've recently had a really bad relapse on the SOOCD theme after years of coping really well and honestly I've been really struggling with it. I think for me, the biggest thing holding me back is that whilst for over ten years I've been coping really well and not letting it affect me, now that I fell back into it, it's taking all those years of doing ok with the thoughts and throwing it back in my face. Its like "if it was OCD, then why didn't it bother you for years." Listening to you guys kind of gives me some hope that it's normal for an OCD theme to still be present even when you're in a better place, and not let it get to you. I needed this, not from a reassurance point of view but from a psychoeducational point of view. I was scared that I had basically faked all my previous recovery and had been lying to myself all this time. It's so weird how all your memories and all of your character, can be doubted to such a degree.

I'm really bummed and it's depressing and angering to me that I just found out about ERP a little over a year ago, and I've suffered with OCD since I was 6 and am 35 now. No psychiatrist, even a really good psychiatrist I had, mentioned it to me. He only told me about CBT, but not ERP specifically. AND NO psychologists I've had told me about it. They kept seeing me and taking my money (or parent's money) but I never made real progress with any of them, and some of them made my problems worse. I even had a couple CBTs that never mentioned or did ERP with me. That's really frustrating knowing now that ERP is a type of CBT.

I don't know if you really mentioned it, but my OCD has also caused depression because it prevents me from doing the things required to live a fulfilling life, e.g. getting outside and being active, exercising, relationships, keeping a clean living environment, career, and most recently grad school. I've also avoided things by resting or sleeping too much, which isn't good for mood.

Such an insightful podcast especially at 49:41 WOAH

Niqqa pls

Never had confidence in the first place

Confidence = Attractive Arrogance = ugly

That's not true at all. Recent studies show that confidence can be learned through affirmations and recognizing that small victories are still victories. Stop grifting for money and spreading lies.

Finish your thought BEFORE pushing record.

It's really important that you just keep saying hateful, spiteful, petty, and bigotted shit so wokeness doesn't win. What an L take

real

crazy man. cancel culture? you are not authentic

WTF! I do not agree.

that's the thing though, having the right to say something, or having an opinion didn't grant individuals immunity from the possible consequences. Not every opinion and thought needs a voice and the ones that do, wouldn't need to be , if risks weren't involved.

Large forehead

The right partakes in cancel culture just as much as the left does. They just don't like to admit it. Take the recent bud light situation. It got conservatives crying and boycotting bud light. They even made their own beer, which has already failed. Colin Kaepernick is another example. The right got upset with him for taking a knee for the pledge. It even made the news. That's cancel culture Mike Pence was effectively canceled by the right, when he conceded the election. That pretty much made his career as vice president dead, and his ambitions to also be president dead. If you want to go back even further, the satanic panic was largely led by Christian, right leaning conservatives. It was just a push to outright ban things they were scared of and didn't believe in or just didn't understand. The right does this all the time. But instead of complaining about it on Twitter, They just try to ban it outright through the government. This was the case for lgbt movements, abortion, and the aforementioned satanic panic. You're just as guilty of this as you think the left is

😂

Even if someone has terrible views, how can someone not see that as a teaching or a discussom opportunity? Look at the man that speaks to racists to see why they think the way they do and even change minds, himself.

zesty aah

jfc cram more buzzwords into 1 short

Welcome to societal evolution. Darwinism at work.

😂😂😂

thanks

what is ERP?

Good morning

Heard that 🙏

I had disabiliting ocd and in 2013 I was able to totally stop ocd overnight But I had to expose myself and remember that ocd is not me it's apart from me and it left

Dang. Thank you.

i really like this :)

I'd agree, but sometimes you do need to at least look further. I googled my symptoms and at the end it said to stop and immediately call an ambulance. I laughed it off. Two days later I was in an ambulance being raced to hospital with full blockage of right coronary artery. I was having a heart attack. During the procedure to open the blockage I had to be shocked back twice. And, I was only 35. So yes, don't believe everything, but if it is worrying, call someone for proper medical advice.

So she is saying that grief is a mental disorder, then, in addition, she thinks that everybody has a multiple mental disorders. I don’t know who she’s been talking to R who her friends are I think she’s strange.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾♥️

What activities

So true.

I think that is true in most instances but if you take an industry like farming a good year is breaking even. But they are supplying most of the food marker

How would an individual with OCD benefit from exposure therapy?

that nose eating is gross

My wife was diagnosed with BPD and seriously cannot deal with change well at all for.a long while now. We've been together for 26 yrs and this has only been the case in the last couple years. It's really hard for me as her husband that she struggles through this and am constantly trying to think of new ways to help her through new thing going on in oure life

Mad..or angry?

Buddy you're a senior run-and-jump and stuff like bad you're not important when you are asked hey kiddo what do you want to do when you grow up you said I can run fast those types of kids don't get a gold star sorry go do something meaningful with your life like a job

True words I've heard spoken almost all people that recover.
