Get Unstuck From Fear

How Community Needs To Be Part Of Treatment- Guest on FearCast Podcast with Kevin Foss, MFT

Posted in Anxiety, CBT, Exposure Therapy, Mental Health, OCD

As we close to 2022, I am reflecting with gratitude on the community I have in my life—personally and professionally. Anything good links back to many unseen ways I am supported.  I hope you find yourself connected in community or growing towards that end. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

Kevin Foss, MFT invited me to his “FearCast podcast,” and without a scripted plan, we began addressing the role of community in OCD and Anxiety treatment.  Here’s the summary:

For today’s podcast, I was joined by Justin Hughes, MA, who discusses his passion for reconnecting to, or building new, community as part of his treatment for people with OCD and anxiety disorders. This was a very fun conversation with Justin, and he offers some great points on how to find community, connect with the one you have, make reasonable steps to strengthening it, and building your willingness to have vulnerability part of your treatment (and why). 

Enjoy it anywhere podcasts are found or through his site here.
