We experience between 30,000 and 60,000 thoughts per day. That’s at least over 20 thoughts per minute. There is no way that all of those thoughts provide accurate information. As you move through anxiety treatment, you learn to become an active observer of your thoughts. There is tremendous power in learning that thoughts only have the power that you give them, and that you do not need to do anything about them, apart from observe them.

The second full week in October is - a time to spread awareness and education about and effective treatment. People are most familiar with overt, behavioral compulsions such as handwashing or checking locks, but did you know that compulsions can also happen internally? Compulsive rumination is an internal behavior where someone attempts to solve the problem posed by their thought intrusions. Although you cannot exert control over the initial thought intrusion, you can learn to stop ruminating.

is officially upon us, and what better time to learn about Specific Phobia. People with specific phobia experience intense anxiety, fear, and distress in response to a situation, object, or animal. You can have a specific phobia of just about anything, although insects, heights, snakes, and public speaking are among the more common targets. The fear is out of proportion to the actual danger, and interferes significantly in the lives of those diagnosed. Exposure therapy, a specialized type of cognitive behavioral therapy, is a highly effective treatment for specific phobia.

Almost everyone will have a panic attack at some point during their lives. Panic attacks are defined as a sudden rush of fear and anxiety accompanied by a host of physical symptoms such as pounding heart, shortness of breath, tingling in the arms and legs and more. Cognitive symptoms include catastrophic thinking like “I’m doing to die” or “I’m having a heart attack.”

Panic Disorder is diagnosed when panic attacks are accompanied by intense concern about future panic attacks. Panic Disorder is referred to as “the fear of fear,” due to the anxiety around and attempts to avoid the panic symptoms themselves. Agoraphobia develops when someone develops intense fear/avoidant behaviors to places and things that have triggered panic attacks. Panic Disorder can be diagnosed with or without agoraphobia.

Effective treatment for panic disorder involves interoceptive exposure to feared body sensations, in-vivo exposure to feared places and activities, and cognitive restructuring aimed at catastrophic cognitions.

Believing that internal experiences like emotions, thoughts, uncertainty, pain are intolerable can lead to experiential avoidance. Abusing drugs and alcohol, chronic busyness, doomscrolling, and even rumination function to suppress pain in the short term, but lead long term suffering. Learning to tolerate unwanted internal experiences can transform suffering that feels intolerable to pain that is manageable.

A main goal of effective OCD treatment is to allow your intrusive thoughts to be, without doing anything in response to them. The more you push them away, the more powerful they become.

Even Captain America himself - Chris Evans, experiences anxiety. He offers an important reminder that our thoughts only have meaning if we give them meaning. Thought defusion is a powerful technique from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy that can help create space between you and your thoughts. You can have a thought with buying it, believing it, or doing anything at all on response to it!
