How do we become who we are?

It’s never too late to become the person you know you were meant to be!

If you’re finding it difficult to stay motivated and on-task during the pandemic, you’re not alone. The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted the routines and structures we rely on to keep us productive and stable, triggering a shadow pandemic of avoidance and apathy. Happily, though, you don’t need a vaccine to get your life back in order, just a solid routine.

Sharing our true feelings with others can feel like a risk. But as Anxiety & OCD patient “Jared” will attest, that risk can bring remarkable rewards. In the second installment of this 4-part series, Dr. Maggie and “Jared” explore the root causes of avoidance, the value of vulnerability and accepting support, and the benefits of turning toward your shadow and exposing it to the light of community.

The cycle of avoidance is so deeply ingrained for many of us that we’re not even aware it’s happening, and don’t realize how much suffering it’s causing. In his first recorded session, real therapy patient “Jared” opens up about his history with avoidance, and how he’s using therapy, compassionate self-talk, and a passion for cycling to break the avoidance cycle and create new, healthier habits.

There’s exposure, and then there’s intentional exposure. In anxiety recovery, it’s important to practice both intentional exposure (seeking out controlled exposures on purpose) and handling incidental exposures as they come up. But did you know it works best to focus on those two practices in a certain order? Find out which order is most effective, and get some wonderful actionable tools for both from real anxiety patient “Catherine” and Dr. Maggie in part 3 of this 4 part series.
