🌟 Food allergies can feel scary — and for children who are already anxiety‑prone or struggle with OCD, the pressure to “stay safe” can lead to overwhelming fears and rituals. But there’s good news: with the right support, kids can learn balance, confidence, and even freedom around food.

In our blog, we explore how CBT-informed treatment helps children and families:

🍽️ Understand the difference between necessary safety steps and anxiety-driven behaviors
🧠 Use tools like cognitive restructuring and gradual exposures to challenge fearful thoughts
🤝 Collaborate with allergists to distinguish medical precautions from emotional patterns that limit joy

Whether your child is refusing school lunches, checking labels repeatedly, or avoiding birthday parties — this approach helps them learn that they can be both safe and brave.

We’re still smiling after an incredible few days at the 30th Annual OCD Conference here in Chicago 💙

Our team had such a meaningful time connecting with attendees, sharing support and resources, and being part of a community that truly gets it. From thoughtful conversations to lots of laughter at the booth — it was all heart.

And we couldn’t resist showing off the “before” and “after” of our booth set up! ✨

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello. We’re so grateful to do this work — and even more grateful to do it together.

🚨 Racing heart. Shaky hands. Tight chest.
When panic hits, it feels like danger… but that doesn’t always mean you’re in danger.

At Light On Anxiety, we teach a powerful CBT-based tool called the “Where Is the Danger?” game — a simple, 3-step strategy that helps bring logic back online when anxiety takes over.

Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Notice your symptoms.
2️⃣ Evaluate if there’s any real, immediate danger.
3️⃣ Understand what’s actually triggering your panic — is it a thought, a memory, or a false alarm?

This tool helps interrupt the panic spiral and reminds your brain:
Discomfort is not the same as danger.

💙 If you’re tired of feeling hijacked by anxiety, we’re here to help you find calm, clarity, and confidence.

We went to the 30th Annual OCD Conference last week and couldn’t be more grateful for the experience 💙

This video is a little POV walk-through of the conference — from entering the space to arriving at the Light On Anxiety booth! It was such a meaningful few days connecting with clinicians, advocates, and individuals navigating OCD with courage and hope.

We loved having conversations, sharing support, and being part of a community that’s deeply committed to growth, healing, and evidence-based care.

If you stopped by — thank you! And if you missed it, here’s a glimpse of what it felt like to be there ✨

🧠 When intrusive thoughts strike, the instinct is often to push them away. But what if exploring them—rather than avoiding them—could help you reclaim your peace of mind?

In our latest blog post, Dr. Debra Kissen explains why avoidance can backfire and how gentle curiosity can shift the power dynamic. Instead of spiraling into “What does this say about me?” loops, you can learn to calmly observe and question:
✔️ Is this thought accurate?
✔️ Is it helpful?
✔️ Does it deserve this much of my time and emotional energy?

By stepping back, you become the observer—not the hostage. With repeated mindfulness and values-based cognitive work, you can retrain your brain to recognize these thoughts as mental noise, not emergencies.

💙 You don’t have to be afraid of your own mind. Your thoughts are not dangerous. They are mental events—some weird, some mundane, some loud and obnoxious. But they don’t define you.

😰 What if one of the most effective ways to treat panic…
…was to intentionally bring on the symptoms you're afraid of?

At Light On Anxiety, we use a powerful tool called interoceptive exposure — a lesser-known but highly effective treatment for panic disorder.

🎥 In this clip, Dr. Debra Kissen and our volunteer Zoe demonstrate how we recreate common panic symptoms (like hyperventilation) on purpose — not to make anxiety worse, but to retrain your brain.

When you repeatedly experience sensations like rapid breathing or dizziness in a safe, controlled setting, you learn that:
⚠️ These symptoms are uncomfortable,
🚫 But they are not dangerous.

Over time, interoceptive exposures help reduce fear of the sensations themselves — and give you back a sense of control.

🌀 Anxiety loves to sound convincing.
“SOMETHING TERRIBLE WILL HAPPEN.”
But just because anxiety says it… doesn’t make it true.

This is your gentle reminder:
You can move forward, even when anxiety is loud.
You can take action, even when fear shows up uninvited.

💙 At Light On Anxiety, we help you build the tools and confidence to proceed forward despite anxiety’s protest — one brave step at a time.

When panic goes untreated, it doesn’t just stay the same — it often grows.
And your world? It slowly starts to shrink.

In this clip, Dr. Debra Kissen explains how panic disorder can begin to take over everyday life — making people avoid situations, places, or even thoughts that might trigger another attack.

The result?
🚪 A smaller life.
⚠️ Bigger fear.
💬 More anxiety about anxiety itself.

The good news: panic disorder is highly treatable. With the right tools — including CBT and Exposure Therapy — you can expand your world again and take your power back.

💙 You don’t have to live in fear of fear.
Reach out today to start working with a therapist who understands what you’re going through — and how to help.

How We Work

Our mission is to decrease the pain and suffering associated with untreated anxiety disorders.

We offer CBT based treatment to children, adolescents and adults with a focus on anxiety and stress-related disorders, including OCD, PTSD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, separation anxiety disorder, compulsive skin picking, and trichotillomania. We apply the principles of evidence-based treatments, while at the same time treating the whole person, with deep respect for the human spirit and the challenges we all face on our journey through life. We strive to make our clients their own anxiety coaches and to keep treatment as short-term as possible. There is nothing we appreciate more than when clients arrive at a place where they they no longer need external assistance to manage their anxiety symptoms. We often states to our clients, “We strive to become unnecessary in your life.”
