Your Anxiety Toolkit - Practical Skills for Anxiety, Panic & Depression

In this episode, I walk you through a simple, 10-minute daily self-compassion practice that can help you change your relationship with anxiety and gently support your recovery.

In this episode, I talk about why so many people struggle with sleep anxiety even when they're doing everything "right." You might be following all the sleep hygiene rules, no screens, consistent bedtime, calming routines, and still lying awake, wondering what's wrong. The truth is, for anxious brains, trying too hard to sleep can actually make it harder. Sleep is one of the few biological processes that resists effort, and the more pressure you put on it, the more alert your body becomes.

In this episode, I walk you through the five most common mistakes people make with ERP and share practical, compassionate strategies to help you break free from the OCD cycle and make your recovery work more effective.

In this episode, I talk about something that doesn't replace ERP, but actually makes it more effective: self-compassion. So many people worry that being kind to themselves will weaken recovery, let them off the hook, or make OCD worse. But the truth is that self-criticism often increases anxiety, reinforces the obsession cycle, and leads to more burnout and exhaustion.

In this heartfelt episode, Kimberley Quinlan and therapist Lacey Yukelson unpack what harm OCD really is, why it feels so terrifying, and how recovery becomes possible when you stop fighting the thoughts and start changing your response.
