If something feels off — and you can’t move on until it feels “just right” — it may not be a matter of preference.

“Just Right” OCD isn’t driven by fear.
It’s driven by discomfort, incompleteness, and the urge to fix that feeling.

Joie Pecoraro, LSW, shares 3 common signs in this video 💙
Effective treatment can help you tolerate imperfection — and regain freedom.

Flu season can be stressful for anyone, but for some, it triggers intense anxiety around getting sick or throwing up.

If the thought of vomiting feels overwhelming, consuming, or hard to escape, it may be emetophobia - a specific and very real anxiety condition.

The good news?

💙 Emetophobia is treatable with evidence-based care like CBT and ERP.

You don’t have to organize your life around avoiding sickness forever.

“Why do certain sounds feel unbearable?”

You’re not making it up — misophonia is real, and so is the distress it causes.

In this video, Light On Anxiety therapist Joie Pecoraro, LSW, breaks down what misophonia actually is: a conditioned brain-body response where certain everyday sounds (like chewing or tapping) trigger intense emotional and physical reactions.

The good news? Treatment can help. With gradual exposure and nervous system-calming tools, your brain can learn a new, more peaceful way of responding.

💙 You’re not alone, and healing is absolutely possible.

Let’s talk about something that’s quietly fueling stress and disconnection.

“Us vs. Them” thinking may feel powerful in the moment—but it actually triggers our brain’s threat response and makes the world feel even more unsafe.

This mental shortcut isn’t just a political issue—it’s a human one.
When we divide people into “right vs. wrong” or “good vs. bad,” we reduce our capacity for empathy, curiosity, and inner calm.

💭 Good news: You can rewire your brain for connection.
Swipe through to learn how group identity shapes our nervous system—and how even small acts of empathy can help you feel safer and more grounded.

The holidays are supposed to feel joyful—but they can also feel lonely. 💙

Dr. Lauren Cain, PSY.D., one of our Treatment Specialists at Light On Anxiety, shares a gentle reminder: Connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.

Whether you're navigating grief, distance from loved ones, or just feeling out of sync, finding small ways to feel connected can make all the difference. There’s no one right way to do the holidays. But you don’t have to do it alone.
