Depression & #anxiety are two of the most common #pregnancy complications, more common than diabetes & high blood pressure 🤰🏻 Prenatal depression & anxiety are as common as #postpartum #depression, & are also the biggest risk factors for #PPD 🤱🏻 #maternalmentalhealth
We are dynamic beings. It’s natural to feel multiple ways at the same time #Fridayfeels #FridayFeeling #Friday #mentalhealth #Health

You are not your thoughts #anxiety #OCD #mentalhealth #tuesdayvibe #tuesdaymotivations
Avoidance is our natural response to anxiety But it actually prolongs suffering over time Facing our fears & taking calculated risks - in the service of living consistent w our values & goals - is key #Anxiety #OCD #mentalhealth #tuesdayvibe #tuesdaymotivations
No one’s thinking about that weird thing you said. They’re too busy worrying about that weird thing they said that you didn’t notice because you were in your head about that weird thing you said.
Get ahead of the Winter Blues with some advice from Doctor Amanda Sellers. wfmz.com/news/sunrise/s…
We talked daylight savings, winter blues, & hygge w @KarinMallett & @BKoltnow of @69News in this live Self Help Saturday interview 🕰🍂❄️🧣🫖 wfmz.com/news/sunrise/s…
Here's why its important to study stigma reduction for OCD: a 🧵 For context, Bekah is a bachelor contestant who revealed having pedophilic OCD (POCD). POCD is when folks have intrusive, unwanted, anxiety-provoking sexual thoughs, images, or urges towards their baby.
Patterns of avoiding our emotions and habitually trying to escape from our anxiety do not develop overnight, and they don't resolve overnight either. Be patient with yourself.
Have you ever been going about your day, minding your own business, & suddenly realize your shoulders have been hiked up to your ears the past year+? 🙇🏻♀️ #Stress #anxiety #mentalhealthMonth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthAwareness #mentalhealthAwarenessMonth
Anxiety resides in the “what if” 🔮 We can choose, with consistent practice, to live in the “what is” 💁🏻♀️ #anxiety #OCD #mentalhealth #WednesdayMotivation #WednesdayWisdom
Good therapy isn’t about learning to “think positively” It’s about thinking more flexibly — considering & tolerating the positive, negative, & everything in between #NewWeek #MondayVibes #stress #anxiety #OCD
Reason and logic don’t work against #OCD #anxiety #stress #mentalhealth #thursdayvibes
Changing your relationship w #anxiety is the real gamechanger Fighting against it makes it louder Instead, try embracing it as a glitchy inner alarm system that’s just doing its best to keep you safe This will turn the volume down over time #SundayThoughts #MentalHealth
Therapy is all about learning to be intentional. Intentionality with our actions and attention allows us to change our experience. We don't have to be at the mercy of our automatic thoughts and feelings.
Self-Help Saturday: What is anxiety and how to deal with it? wfmz.com/news/sunrise/s…

@bitesizetherapy Corollary: It's a failure of empathy and perspective taking when therapists lead off with lengthy explanations about their "orientation" and how they work. The patient doesn't give a shit. They want to know how they'll get better. E.g., a perfectly fine description of how /1
Most patients do not give a damn about theory. They simply want to get over their suffering. - Glen Gabbard
When I see a therapist checking off every box on Psychology Today, I run. There’s no way you know how to do all these treatment modalities.
No one has a crystal ball to predict the future. Could you have predicted 5 years ago where you would be today? As life unfolds, you gather information to guide your future decisions. Trust your ability to navigate life as it unfolds.
@DrWinarick I’ve had the same therapist for 26 years. I thought that kind of long term relationship was the gold standard? Did something change as I was diligently working to improve my life?
The first 7 years of our lives sets the foundation for how we: communicate, cope with stress (resilience), and how we view our self (self identity.) What parent figures model for us, beginning at birth, is our greatest education.
from In Treatment, season 1 Why do you think you had that particular memory the other night? -Dr. Paul Weston Perhaps there’s a reason you had that particular memory the other night. -me (imagining I'm his consultant) Two ways to invite reflection. Perhaps one is more inviting
The child born in a chaotic household becomes the adult who micromanages their own home.
“The person who’s in therapy controls the gas, so to speak. And the wheel, for that matter.” —Paul Weston, In Treatment
It’s tragic how those who over apologize are the ones who are owed a lifetime of apologies.
People rarely come for help for something they explicitly identify as personality. Even though that's where the action is clinically. They come for acute concerns like depression or anxiety, not realizing they're woven into the fabric of personality—their recurring life patterns
@JonathanShedler Yes! Clinically they rarely present if well defended and otherwise my experience has never been someone presenting as a ‘narcissist’. More often they present with depression as the defenses have failed and want them rebuilding.
It’s not *solely* genetics. It’s not *solely* neurotransmitters. It’s not *solely* unconscious. It’s not *solely* trauma. It’s not *solely* cognitive schemas. It’s not *solely* learned patterns. It’s not *solely* familial. It’s not *solely* socio-cultural. It’s complicated.
For every hour spent with a patient, the patient spends hours on our mind.
Imagine your therapist remembering every person that is important to you that you mention in session so that you can tell the stories of your life effortlessly in your healing journey and then doing the same for the other 40 or more people on their caseload at any given time…
There's nothing magically healing about just telling our story. We can dissociate & recite our story all day long, & our nervous system won't register a thing. Some might think we've processed it all & "should" be able to "move on" just because we've put words to it. If only.
