Worry • Intrusive Thoughts • Overplanning/Overanalyzing • Rumination - What they are - Skills to Reduce Them 14.09.2026 19minToday podcast breaks down the four types of overthinking — worry, intrusive thoughts, overplanning, and rumination — and teaches simple, science‑based skills to quiet your mind.You’ll learn why worry keeps your body in stress mode and how Scheduled Worry can retrain your brain to reduce anxiety. For intrusive thoughts, you’ll discover Cognitive Diffusion, a technique that helps you label thoughts instead of fighting them. If you struggle with perfectionism or replaying conversations, you’ll learn how to shift from controlling everything to trusting you can handle discomfort. And for rumination, you’ll learn how to stop dwelling on the past by identifying your values and taking one small action in the present.These tools are practical, compassionate, and easy to start today — helping you break the cycle of overthinking and feel more grounded.📢 Please subscribe, leave a comment, share it!🔗 You can also find us on:📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the.online.therapy.clinic/🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1Xz3zGVxfDLgidN8Vboko0📺 YouTube: www.youtube.com/@The.Online.Therapy.Clinic🌴 LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/theonlinetherapyclinic🗓️ You can book #Therapytoday!!👉 https://theonlinetherapyclinic.com/online-therapy-bookings-cbt-emdr/ The Online Therapy Clinic 🚨 IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER& CRISIS HELP (UK) 🚨The information in this video is for educational andinformational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional mentalhealth advice, diagnosis, or treatment.Always seek the advice of your GP, a licensed therapist, oranother qualified healthcare provider.Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seekingit because of something you heard in this video.If you or someone you know in the UK is going through amental health crisis, please reach out for help immediately.

7 - 🔄 How is OCD maintained: Meaning, Interpretation & Response - ERP OCD Treatment 05.06.2026 10minWelcome back — I’m Jaime, an ERP therapist specializing in CBT and EMDR. This is video 7 in our ongoing series on OCD treatment, and today we’re diving deeper into the cycle that keeps OCD going — and how you can begin to shift it with compassion, clarity, and courage.OCD isn’t just about intrusive thoughts. It’s about how we interpret those thoughts, the meaning we assign to them, and the responses we use to feel better — responses that often bring short-term relief and long-term reinforcement.💬 In this video, we explore:• The full OCD cycle: intrusion → meaning → interpretation → response• Why intrusions can be thoughts, images, sensations, emotions, or urges• How compulsions like checking, washing, avoiding, and mental rituals keep the cycle alive• The role of mental compulsions — including mantras, prayers, and thought replacement — and how they reinforce distress• How ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) helps you face discomfort and build emotional resilience• Why your survival strategies deserve compassion — and how you can begin to let go of them• Reflective exercises to help you identify your patterns and prepare for changeThis is a trauma-informed, strengths-based invitation to understand your OCD more clearly — and to begin responding in ways that support long-term healing. You’re not broken. You’re learning. And your brain can change.🧠 Recovery begins when we stop trying to escape discomfort — and start trusting that we can face it.#OCDRecovery #ERPtherapy #CBTforOCD #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #MentalHealthSupport #OCDCycle #IntrusiveThoughts #Compulsions #MentalCompulsions #TraumaInformedCare #MentalHealthEducation #YouAreNotBroken #OCDAwareness #CompassionateTherapy #FeelToHeal #HealingWithERP #OCDHelp #OCDTreatmentSeries 📢 Please subscribe, leavea comment, share the video!🔗 You can also find uson:📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the.online.therapy.clinic/🎧Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1Xz3zGVxfDLgidN8Vboko0📺YouTube: www.youtube.com/@The.Online.Therapy.Clinic🗓️You can book #Therapy today!!👉 https://online-cbt.com/online-therapy-bookings-cbt-emdr/TheOnline Therapy Clinic

4 - Habituation & OCD: Why Facing Anxiety Changes Everything 22.05.2026 8minWelcome to The Online Therapy Clinic. I’m Jaime — CBT & ERP therapist, EMDR practitioner, and Clinical Supervisor. In this video, we’re talking about habituation — the process of getting used to anxiety by staying with it, not running from it.🧠 Imagine standing on a bungee platform. Your heart races. You back out. Relief hits.But what happens when you repeat that pattern ten times?👉 The fear grows stronger.👉 The anxiety feels harder to face.👉 Your brain learns: “This is too much.”Now imagine you jump. You survive. You jump again. And again.By the tenth jump, you’re not terrified — you’re calm. Maybe even exhilarated.That’s habituation. That’s ERP therapy. That’s how recovery begins.💬 In this video, I’ll guide you through:• Why avoidance feels good short-term but keeps OCD alive• How habituation rewires your brain through repetition and courage• What it means to be willing — not fearless — in the face of discomfort• Why this approach works, even when it’s hard✨ This isn’t about pushing through pain. It’s about learning that you can survive it.And over time, you’ll feel less anxious. Less stuck. More free.🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe to support the channel and help others find this content.

3 - 🎥 Why Avoidance Keeps OCD Going Understanding Anxiety, Habituation & ERP 13.05.2026 14minWelcome back to The Online Therapy Clinic. I’m Jaime — CBT & ERP therapist, EMDR practitioner, and Clinical Supervisor. In this third video, we’re diving into one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) parts of OCD treatment: habituation.🧠 If you live with OCD, you know that anxiety isn’t just part of the picture — it’s often the whole frame. And when anxiety hits, our instinct is to escape: avoid, distract, neutralise, check, wash, reassure. But here’s the paradox…👉 The more you try to get rid of anxiety,👉 The more tightly OCD holds on.In this video, I’ll walk you through the cycle of avoidance and compulsions, and show you how Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) helps you break free. We’ll explore:• Why short-term relief keeps OCD going• What habituation really means (and why it’s not about “feeling nothing”)• How anxiety naturally fades when we stop feeding the cycle• What it means to choose long-term freedom over short-term comfort📈 I’ll even sketch out the anxiety curve — so you can see how this works in real time.💬 This isn’t about pushing through distress blindly. It’s about learning that you can survive discomfort, that your brain can learn something new, and that you are capable of change.✨ These videos are educational and empowering — not a substitute for therapy, but a starting point for understanding what keeps OCD going and how to reclaim your life.🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe to support the channel and help others find this content.

2 - 🎥 Where Does OCD Come From? Understanding OCD & Moving Forward 09.05.2026 4minWelcome back to The Online Therapy Clinic. I’m Jaime — CBT & ERP therapist, Clinical Supervisor, Meta Supervisor, and EMDR practitioner. In this video, we’re diving into one of the most common questions people ask in therapy:👉 “Where did my OCD come from?”👉 “Why do I have it?”🧠 These questions are valid — and they come from a place of wanting clarity. But after years of working with individuals affected by OCD and supervising therapists delivering evidence-based treatments, I can tell you: there’s rarely a single, clear-cut answer.OCD often emerges from a complex mix of factors — genetics, personality traits, upbringing, environmental stressors, and learned behaviours. But here’s the key insight: understanding why you have OCD doesn’t necessarily help you recover from it.💬 In therapy, we shift the focus from “Why me?” to “What now?”✨ How can I live fully with OCD?✨ How can I move forward, aligned with my values?This video — and the entire series — is here to help you do just that. Drawing from years of clinical experience, I’ll guide you through practical, evidence-based strategies to break free from OCD and start living the life you want.🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe to support the channel and help others find this content.

Shame, Blame & Self-Compassion in Trauma Recovery 💔🌸 24.06.2025 24minIn this heartfelt episode, Jaime explores one of the most painful and often overlooked parts of trauma: the lingering burden of shame and self-blame. Many survivors — whether from childhood abuse, domestic violence, or other traumatic events — carry the false belief that they were responsible for what happened to them. These thoughts often stem from manipulation by abusers, societal stigma, or the brain’s own attempt to make sense of the pain.🧠 Jaime breaks down:Why survivors often blame themselves — even when they "know better"How fight, flight, and freeze responses are survival, not weaknessThe damaging myths around trauma and responsibilityWhy compassion, not judgment, is the true key to healing💗 The episode closes with a gentle, guided self-compassion meditation — offering listeners a moment of calm, grounding, and the chance to begin speaking to themselves with kindness.You are not to blame. You are not broken.You are surviving — and you deserve your own care, just as much as anyone else.📝 Questions or feedback?

Intensive Therapy - Trauma - EMDR - CBT - How does it work? 10.03.2025 16minTrauma can cast a long shadow, but intensive therapy offers a way to step into the light and reclaim your life. Combining the transformative power of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with the practicality of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), this approach creates a dynamic path to healing that is both comprehensive and empowering.At the heart of EMDR is a remarkable technique that uses bilateral stimulation—like guided eye movements—to gently and effectively process distressing memories. It helps rewire the brain’s response to trauma, allowing you to release the hold that past experiences may have on your present. The result? A clearer, more peaceful mind, free from the weight of unresolved pain.On the other hand, CBT steps in as the ultimate toolkit for building resilience and emotional strength. By identifying negative thought patterns and replacing them with healthier, more constructive ways of thinking, CBT equips you to manage anxiety, depression, and other challenges that can accompany trauma. It’s a therapy that doesn’t just heal—it empowers, giving you the skills to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and clarity.When used together, EMDR and CBT complement each other beautifully. While EMDR focuses on resolving deep-rooted emotional scars, CBT provides the practical strategies needed to cope, thrive, and rebuild. Intensive therapy condenses this powerful combination into a focused timeframe, offering faster relief and profound transformation. It’s a journey of self-discovery, growth, and renewed strength—a chance to turn the page and start a new chapter.Join me on this empowering journey as we unravel the complexities of traumaand provide insights, resources, and hope for those seeking healing and transformation.You can always drop me an email to [email protected] if you want to have a request or visit my website by clicking thehashtag #onlinetherapyPlease follow me or like the podcast if you wish, and shareit with others.Hope you enjoy!Jaime (CBT and EMDR therapist) #UnderstandingTrauma #HealingJourney #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheSilence #SeekingSupport #TraumaInformedCare #Empowerment #FindingHope #WellbeingandMentalHealthforOrganisations #TraumaticEventSupportforOrganisation#CrisisandTraumaticEpisodeforOrganisations#industrialtraumasupport #staffwellbeingservices #onlinementalhealthsupportforemployeesImage by pikisuperstar - FreePik.com -

Unveiling Trauma: the Mind and Body effects 24.07.2023 30minThis Episode is the second on the series. It explores the lasting impact of traumatic events on mental health and well-being. Very briefly we discover the automatic coping responses our minds and bodies have developed over thousands of years: fighting, fleeing, freezing, submitting, and dissociating. Gain insight into the brain's intricate processing of trauma through the thalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus. The thalamus acts as a gatekeeper, assessing information for threats and signalling the amygdala. The amygdala, the brain's alarm centre, releases stress hormones to prepare the body for action. The hippocampus, like a filing clerk, compares traumatic memories to determine the level of threat. Understand how trauma memories are stored differently, causing confusion and strong emotions. Experience how triggering a traumatic memory activates the amygdala, leading to the release of stress hormones and feelings of terror or numbness. Join us on this transformative journey as we delve into the complexities of trauma and its effects on our minds and bodies. Hope you enjoy!
