Have you ever found yourself using food as a distraction from life's challenges? Join us as we candidly share our personal battles with food, dieting, and body image obsessions. We unravel our emotional journeys towards overcoming shame and finding true comfort, revealing how renewal of the mind has been a powerful tool for managing feelings and regaining self-control.

Experience the empowering process of Mind Renewal as we explore its potential to conquer obsessions with food and body image. We extend the discussion beyond the realm of eating to tackle issues like stress, relationships, and finances. Find out how thinking with the mind of Christ has equipped us with grace-infused tools, enabling us to face challenging circumstances such as relocation, caregiving for aging parents, parenting, and medical crises with resilience.

Understanding whether you have OCPD can be helpful not only in managing your symptoms, but also finding meaning in your personality. It's also helpful to distinguish between obsessive and compulsive, and obsessions and compulsions. 

Approximately 1-4% of people throughout the world experience obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Individuals with OCD are more likely than those without OCD to engage in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), and recent research has shown that, among those who self-injure, having a diagnosis of OCD predicts more severe self-injury.

In this episode, licensed clinical social worker and OCD expert Nathan Peterson explains how he differentiates nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) from Self-Harm OCD, which is just one of many subtypes of OCD and one in which a person experiences intrusive thoughts or mental images of violence toward oneself. He then walks us through how he uses Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Self-Harm OCD in therapy.

It has been a little while since an episode has been uploaded (apologies), but all is explained within. I have been plagued by constant obsessive and negative intrusive thoughts which has made life my personal version of hell.

In true Elliot style though, we have not given up! We have a new plan to tackle my mental illnesses and they don't know what is about to hit them!

Lately my presentation has been very much driven by OCD, helped along by my other mental illnesses. This is nothing new....but our approach to dealing with these challenges are about to change.

Armed with our new plan I am confident the old Elliot, the one with the spark and enthusiasm for life, will return once more. Watch out world!

Brain undermethylation is frequently associated with chronic severe depression and schizoaffective. It is also common in autism, OCD, and learning and behavior disorders.  This podcast describes the means by which methylation regulates the availability of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine to counter depression. We also discuss effects on mental and physical health, and look at methionine, SAMe, methyl-B12, and other nutrients which support methylation.
