Anxiety Therapy Orlando: Digital Wellness

Anxiety Therapy Orlando: Digital Wellness

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

You’re anxious and edgy. You’ve tried to limit your screen time, but picking up your phone almost feels like a compulsion. You set out with the best of intentions, but before you know it, you’re scrolling at red lights, at the park with your kids, and even when out with friends. After you set a limit, you rationalize breaking it because you’re waiting on an important work email or you posted an engaging post on social media. Regardless of the reason, it’s a slippery slope because before you know it, you’re checking the portals nonstop again.

At Mindful Living Counseling, we help people with anxiety learn coping tools to manage things so that they are comfortable in their skin again. One of the things we explore is screen time and its impact on anxiety.

Anxiety Therapy Orlando: A Guide to Understanding and Overcoming OCD

Anxiety Therapy Orlando: A Guide to Understanding and Overcoming OCD

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

How often have you heard someone say, "Oh, I'm so OCD," or make a joke about OCD while dismissing the serious issues it causes? Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is a complex mental health condition. Living with obsessive-compulsive disorder involves much more than being too neat or liking things done the exact way. People with OCD are trapped in a loop of repetitive thoughts and behaviors over which they believe they have no control. The really bad part is that most people with OCD are aware that their fears are irrational, but they believe they have no control over them. OCD rituals can consume a lot of time and significantly disrupt a person’s daily life.
