AI and smartphones are making people more anxious for reasons that might be totally obvious to you. Check out the article I wrote for @psychologytoday.com about the issue of anxiety and technology:

The ChatGPT Effect on Anxiety
The instant answers we get from technology might be very gratifying. However, there is a hidden mental health cost of never having to wait or wonder.

I was inspired by recent conversations on my podcast about intrusive thoughts & OCD to write an article about it. Even if you have horrible, disturbing, shameful intrusive thoughts, you are normal!

The Truth About Intrusive Thoughts, You’re Not Alone
Intrusive thoughts can feel shocking, disturbing, or shameful. But they’re just noise and meaningless, and not a sign of who you are.

Is your wearable technology making you more anxious? For people prone to health anxiety and/or panic attacks, body monitoring devices can be a problem for long term anxiety. Here’s a piece I wrote for @psychologytoday.com about it:

When Your Watch Makes You Worry
Suppose you have health anxiety or recurring panic attacks and are using devices to monitor your body symptoms. Chances are you are making things worse for yourself!

This article explains why tracking body symptoms can be so problematic. For my therapy clients with health anxiety or panic attacks, I usually work with them on eliminating using body monitoring devices. Thoughts?

The American Psychological Association just published a fun story about how I met my psychologist doppelganger (also named Bonnie Zucker who also specializes in anxiety). It also talks about our podcast, Anxiety Matters. Definitely a fun read!
