Losing a loved one is a complex emotional experience. Contrary to popular opinion, we don’t go through set stages, and while there are often common emotions such as sadness, guilt, and anger, everyone grieves differently.

If you have OCD, it’s common for the loss of a loved one to temporarily worsen symptoms. Additionally, OCD often latches onto different content. When this happens with grief, it may look like ruminating to “be certain” you don’t forget important moments, or that there was nothing more that you could have done, intrusive images or thoughts about the person who passed or the manner of their death. It’s important to distinguish worsening OCD with grief related content from general bereavement. Although people can certainly benefit from professional support when they are grieving, grief itself is not a psychological illness. Shifting OCD content does require expert treatment like Exposure and Response Prevention.

If today feels like the most Mondayest Monday to ever Monday, you’re not alone! Getting back into your regular routine can be difficult, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Instead of thinking about everything you need to accomplish for the year, or the month, the week, or even today, think about what you need to do first. Break your first task of the day into its component parts, and take them one at a time.

Radical acceptance offers a powerful perspective about coping with circumstances that cannot be changed. It does not mean that you approve of or wanted something to happen. It’s the recognition that the insistence upon struggling with things that cannot be changed keeps you stuck, living life on the sidelines. Embracing reality wholly as it is allows you to live a full life with circumstances that cause pain, not in spite of them.

We have never had more information at our fingertips, and as with a lot in life, more doesn’t necessarily mean better. Social media is rife with mental health misinformation, and learning how to spot it will help you to make the best decisions for yourself and your mental health!

1) Look for reputable sources, for example - peer reviewed journals and trusted websites such as the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and the International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundation.

2) Be wary of exaggerated claims and over simplifications. The one trick to get rid of anxiety for good! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

3) Check the date - information in fields like clinical psychology is constantly updated. Ancient greeks believed that the Uterus would “wander” through the body, causing physical and mental health symptoms. Make sure you’re getting the most up to date information.

4) The plural of anecdote is not data. Anecdotes are written in relatable ways to appeal to our emotions. Anecdotes however, are just one person’s experience. To be considered an evidence based treatment, that treatment will have demonstrated that it works for most people with a given diagnosis.

Have you ever found yourself worrying about something that you cannot control? How about checking something more than once? Many of the behaviors we engage in while we’re feeling anxious are attempts to control events, situations, or even other people. We believe that if only we check the stove one more time, or think through this issue for the hundredth time, we can keep something bad from happening. Not only do these attempts to control not work, they function to maintain anxiety over time, and can significantly impact quality of life.

In your immediate circle is what you can control, your behaviors and your reactions to the people and events around you. Everything outside of that circle is beyond your control.

A licensed mental health provider with expertise in CBT for OCD, anxiety, and related disorders can help you learn to control what you can, and let go of attempts at control that serve to increase anxiety.

Ever find yourself in a weird situation because you weren’t really paying attention? We all do it. Sometimes we move through the day on autopilot to dodge uncomfortable feelings, thoughts, or tasks. But here’s the twist: not being present, even if you’re thinking about threats to your safety, like in OCD or anxiety, can actually pull us out of the present moment and make us less aware of what’s happening around us.

There’s an unhealthy competition happening in our society; who can sleep the least, eat the least, be the busiest. Your self worth is not equal to how productive you are able to be, you do not have to earn rest. Taking care of basics like sleep, nutrition, and treating physical illness establishes a stable base for better overall mental health.

If you’re in treatment for OCD, anxiety, depression, and you’re not making the progress that you would like, talk to your therapist of course, and, check in with your basic self care to see if any changes can be made.

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. A cognitive behavioral therapist with expertise in and can help you learn the most effective strategies!
