Understanding Avoidance and Getting Unstuck” Ep. 49 - Q&A Series: “Why Do I Keep Procrastinating? Understanding Avoidance and Getting Unstuck” Shloime Balsam When we procrastinate, it’s not about laziness—it’s about how our brains handle discomfort, boredom, and overwhelm. In this Q&A episode of The Therapy Podcast, we break down why everyday tasks feel impossible, the emotional and neurological reasons behind procrastination, and why self-blame actually makes it worse. You’ll learn practical strategies to start small, build momentum, and work with your brain instead of against it.

Plus, discover why procrastination isn’t all bad—it’s a signal, and with the right tools, it can guide you toward better motivation and self-compassion.

For more strategies to understand your mind and get unstuck in daily life, check out my book The Therapy Toolbox, available on Amazon: https://a.co/d/33KfSs8.

In this first episode of our Reverse Psychology series, we go back to the roots—Sigmund Freud’s groundbreaking concept of resistance. Why do people reject advice that’s good for them? Why do we sabotage our own progress? Freud called it resistance, and it laid the foundation for what we now understand as reverse psychology.

Whether you're a therapist, psychology student, or just curious about how the mind works, this episode unpacks the sneaky mental defense mechanisms that shape our choices. You'll learn how resistance shows up in therapy, in relationships, and in everyday life—and how recognizing it is the first step toward change.

In this episode, we delve into the world of scrupulosity, a subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) characterized by religious and moral obsessions. We explore the challenges individuals face when dealing with distressing intrusive thoughts and ritualistic behaviors. Join us as we discuss effective treatments that can provide relief and support for those grappling with scrupulosity.


Show Notes:


Introduction to Scrupulosity: We introduce scrupulosity, highlighting its distinct features and its impact on individuals' lives, relationships, and mental well-being.


Obsessions and Compulsions: We discuss how obsessions—unwanted, intrusive thoughts—and compulsions—repetitive behaviors—manifest in the context of scrupulosity. These obsessions often revolve around religious beliefs, morality, and fear of committing sins.


Treatments for Scrupulosity:


Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We explore how CBT, particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), helps individuals confront their fears and reduce anxiety by gradually exposing them to triggering situations while preventing compulsive behaviors.

Medication: We discuss the role of medications like Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) in managing obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

Mindfulness-Based Therapies: We touch on mindfulness-based approaches that combine CBT techniques with mindfulness practices to help individuals manage intrusive thoughts.

Support Groups and Spiritual Counseling: We highlight the benefits of connecting with others facing similar challenges and seeking guidance from religious or spiritual leaders.

Tailoring Treatment: We emphasize the importance of individualized treatment plans, considering the person's preferences, severity of symptoms, and overall well-being.


Seeking Professional Help: We stress the significance of consulting mental health professionals with expertise in OCD and its subtypes, such as scrupulosity, to receive appropriate guidance and support.


Closing Thoughts: We wrap up the episode by emphasizing that scrupulosity, like other mental health conditions, is treatable. By exploring various treatment options and seeking help, individuals can find relief and regain control over their lives.


Join me for an insightful discussion on how to navigate scrupulosity and discover effective pathways to recovery.
