[00:02:16] Elizabeth’s Anxious Moment: Feeling like an imposter after agreeing to pace a three-hour marathon after recently sharing about a healthier relationship with running. [00:07:41] Rethinking New Year’s Resolutions: Moving away from external pressures & setting intrinsic goals for personal growth + quiet quitting your phone. [00:14:22] Listener Questions: How to know if you should switch therapists or programs, finding training for anxiety & OCD treatment, recognizing the early signs of anxiety, building motivation for treatment, addressing social anxiety in teens, & prioritizing mental well-being amid social pressures. [00:40:43] Clinical Growth Points in 2024: Cali + Elizabeth share their biggest learning points as clinicians, highlighting the importance of distress tolerance. Key Insights: Switching Therapists Isn’t Giving Up: It's okay to outgrow your therapist or treatment program. Look for noticeable change + improvement within 4-12 sessions. Advocate for yourself if you’re not seeing results. Quiet Quit Your Phone: Re-evaluate your relationship with technology + prioritize presence in your life. Set boundaries with your phone to free up time + energy for more fulfilling activities. Prioritize Preventative Mental Health Care: Don’t wait for anxiety to become a crisis before seeking help. Early intervention + coping strategies can prevent future escalation + improve overall well-being.
