Latest Episodes

In this episode, I talk about something that I believe is incredibly important for anyone struggling with OCD, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts: learning how to experience joy even when uncomfortable thoughts and feelings are present.

Experiencing a setback in anxiety recovery can feel incredibly discouraging, but today I want to show you how to navigate those difficult moments with self-compassion, curiosity, and practical strategies that help you keep moving forward.

In this episode, I sit down with Brandy Wyant to talk about limerence, an experience that involves becoming obsessively focused on someone who is unavailable or inaccessible in some way.

Feeling overwhelmed? In this episode, I'm sharing a simple, research-backed, three-step self-compassion exercise to help you quiet your inner critic, navigate difficult emotions, and find the courage to keep going, even when things feel hard.

  • Clear, Simple, Profound

    Kimberly brings that combination of simplicity and profundity that is the hallmark of wisdom. Much of what she teaches is also grounded in her own experience, making her relatable but also imbuing her message with a hope that feels within reach. I feel grateful to receive this wisdom every week.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

521 Limerance
Q: What treatment modalities are you using and are you finding helpful?
Wyant describes using exposure and response prevention, acceptance and commitment therapy techniques such as thought defusion, and some cognitive reality testing to recognize the person's flaws and possible incompatibilities.
521 Limerance
Q: What is limerence?
Wyant describes it as an obsessive focus on someone unavailable or inaccessible as a romantic partner, with preoccupation centered on whether that person reciprocates feelings and how to get closer.
498 When ERP Feels Impossible: How DBT Can Help (with Rebecca DeLeon)
Q: Can you explain what DBT is and how it complements ERP without replacing it?
DBT combines cognitive behavioral principles with acceptance to meet clients where they are; it provides skills to tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and maintain engagement with ERP, which makes exposure work more sustainable and less overwhelming.
493 Why Medical Tests Don't Fix Health Anxiety (And What Actually Does) with Ken Goodman
Q: How do you differentiate health anxiety from somatic symptom disorder in day-to-day life?
They're often overlapping; treatable as a shared issue focused on preoccupation with symptoms. The key is recognizing persistent pattern of catastrophic thinking and excessive worry about illness, which guides you toward a mind-body approach rather than endless testing.
494 OCD Has a Strategy. Here's How to Beat It (with Reid Wilson)
Q: What does living in defense actually do to a person over time? What does OCD take from people if they don't learn to play offense?
Living in defense exhausts a person, narrows attention, reduces capacity for meaningful tasks, and makes it harder to engage with life. The guest argues for reframing OCD as a challenge to overcome by building a proactive framework and by externalizing the disorder, so people can act decisively rather than reactively.
