If you can shift whatever you have to do into like- this is specifically what I'm going to be proud of, and I'm not going to be perfectionistic about my process.
Ever felt like your thoughts are running the show? Jay Casale gets real with Dr. Maggie Perry, a licensed psychologist specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders, in this episode of 'The Lighter Side'. Dr. Perry, who founded the Huddle.care website, shares her expertise on third wave CBT, also known as acceptance-based cognitive behavioral theory. Unlike traditional CBT, this approach focuses on accepting and defusing from obsessive thoughts rather than challenging them head-on.
It’s a game-changer for those wrestling with OCD and anxiety. Jay and Dr. Perry also tackle social anxiety, that pesky fear of judgment and rejection that can make you want to avoid social situations altogether. Dr. Perry highlights how common these feelings are, especially in the midst of a pandemic, and stresses the importance of acknowledging and accepting them. Telehealth is another hot topic in their chat. Dr.
Perry has been ahead of the curve, offering online therapy sessions long before it was trendy. She assures listeners that virtual therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face sessions and offers the added comfort of being in your own home. Plus, she talks about her membership-based group therapy as a budget-friendly and time-efficient way to get support. The pandemic has made self-care more crucial than ever. Dr.
Perry dishes out practical tips for maintaining good mental health, like sticking to a routine and celebrating even the smallest victories. Her insights offer a comforting message of hope for anyone struggling with OCD, anxiety, or just the general stress of these times. Tune in to 'The Lighter Side with Jay' for an enlightening conversation that mixes professional advice with personal anecdotes. Whether you're battling anxiety or just curious about mental health strategies, this episode has something for you.
