Mindfulness - Cognitive Dissonance

Manglen på vished, tvivl og usikkerhed er nok noget, de fleste kan genkende fra deres liv. I forsøget på at komme til bunds i tvivlen kan vi ofte – uskyldigt og misforstået – ende med at grave os endnu længere ned i usikkerheden, fordi vi leder det forkerte sted. Og så er det pludselig tvivlen, der har taget styringen.


I dag deler vi vores egne tanker og erfaringer med netop dét – og håber, at det kan være hjælpsomt at få øje på, at der findes andre og mere hensigtsmæssige måder at tage styringen tilbage på.

Podcasten er med psykolog Anne Stærk Dickenson og psykoterapeut Belinda Donkin.

88.  De Tre Principper - Når tvivlen tager styringen

This track is a deep exploration of the inner chaos and fragile beauty of living with OCD and panic attacks. Built around pulsing rhythms and evolving melodic layers, it mirrors the cycle of intrusive thoughts, spiraling tension, and the fragile moments of release that follow. The hypnotic repetition represents the looping patterns of the mind, while soaring synths and shifting textures capture both the intensity of panic and the resilience required to navigate it.

Rather than hiding the struggle, the music transforms it into sound—a raw but hopeful meditation on vulnerability, fear, and ultimately, the strength in facing what feels overwhelming. This release is both a personal story and an invitation: to find connection, catharsis, and light within the darkest corners of the self.

"OCD"

The Ohio-bornTamar Berk first showed up on my radar in the mid-90s when she sang for the iChicago outfit Starball. Starball were a really great band and they worked with everyone from Material Issue to Steve Albini and their Holstein Park record remains one of my favorite records of the '90s. Tamar's solo output now numbers five fabulous albums like The Restless Dreams Of Youth, Good Times For A Change her new one, OCD,. Weaned on everyone from Liz Phair to the Small Faces, Berk's new album is scruffy blast of melodic indie rock that's doused in reverb put together with vulnerability and honest and coated with some of the most unforgettable choruses you'll hear all year. Now based in San Diego, Berk is on a creative tear, which actuall ties into her new album's title. The compulsive need to create--and this is something I think most artists understand--can bring on a version of OCD that can inform the work, sure, but it can also be a nagging voice that relies on patterns to be silenced. We talk about all of that, and so much more; she's real and honest and funny and sharp and you're going to love her.

uuh nexpected journey

Hvis vi lever i en virkelighed, hvor vores oplevelse er, at alt hviler på vores skuldre – at det er os, der har “vagten” 24/7, og at vi bærer ansvaret for, at intet går galt – så kan livet hurtigt føles utroligt tungt at bære.

I dag ser vi nærmere på, hvorfor den oplevelse – efter vores opfattelse – er en uskyldig misforståelse. Og vi undersøger, hvordan livet faktisk kan føles langt mere trygt og enkelt, uanset hvilke omstændigheder vi befinder os i.

Lyrics:

(Oh, no!)

I'm lost in a crowded dream
A dream that is part of you
Is that you calling me?
I can't even hear you!

That dream is a nightmare
Breathing feels painful
Every day I doubt my life
And all the details inside it

They constantly need to reassure me
That horrible things won't happen!
But since I want to:
Be free!
I want to face them and then "make" them happen!

I want to face them all head-on
Let them suck my blood if they're thirsty
I don't expose myself reluctantly!
I do want them, I do want this!
ERP!

That deep sense of freedom
That feeling of "being free"
I'm now here to reach it
But they quickly creep and get me

The toughest problems right now!

My personal email address
Tell everyone, tell everyone
Tell everyone to write it
On the walls and read it out loud
Tell everyone to think of me
Whether I'm professional!
Tell them whether that's right
Tell them whether that's right!

I'm drowning in anxiety
But I'll do it
I'll do it anyway

I'm drowning in anxiety
But I'll do it
I'll do it anyway

I'll do it
Anyway…

You took everything from me!
Now, make sure I can never rise!
I tell doctors:
"Life is just pain!"
They say "It's only in your eyes"

You make me check if taps are open
Constantly see if doors are locked
Worry about fire, and an endless list!
But no matter what, I'm always fucked!

You ruin every experience
I avoid joys and worry about crimes
You make me think I ran over someone!
I check everything a thousand times!

I want everything to be PERFECT!
I only write just to scrap
My eyes are:
Pinned on the details
But the output is always crap!

You ruin rare moments of peace
By finding new or old things that are wrong
You focus on them with full force
And I give up, I'm not strong...

I'm drowning in anxiety again
You make me do the compulsions
They say "The feeling will be short"
I'm tense, and this is killing me!
I don't care!
I just do what makes my soul happy!
No future
It's just "now" that matters!

There's always a "main theme"
And some smaller obsessions
And when that magically goes away
The new "main theme" appears!

So, I'm gonna fix this permanently!

No, no, no! Don't do that! Do exposure!
No, no, no! Do compulsions!
Response prevention!
No! Just rumination!
No! Please exposure!
Until complication...

No, no, no! Don't do that! Do exposure!
No, no, no! Do compulsions!
Response prevention!
No! Just rumination!
No! Please exposure!
No relaxation
Until complication…

No, no, no! Don't do that! Do exposure!
No, no, no! Do compulsions!
Response prevention!
No! Just rumination!
No! Please exposure!
Until complication...

No, no, no! Don't do that! Do exposure!
No, no, no! Do compulsions!
Response prevention!
No! Just rumination!
No! Please exposure!
No relaxation
Until complication…

No, no, no! Don't do that! Do exposure!
No, no, no! Do compulsions!
Response prevention!
No! Just rumination!
No! Please exposure!
Until complication...

No, no, no! Don't do that! Do exposure!
No, no, no! Do compulsions!
Response prevention!
No! Just rumination!
No! Please exposure!
No relaxation
Until complication…

No, no, no!

Where does perfectionism really start and why is it so hard to shake? In this episode, Dr Christian Heim unpacks five hidden forces in our society that keep perfectionism alive, often without us even noticing. One of them—“listomania”—might sound all too familiar! Packed with insights, humour, and those lightbulb moments, this episode will help you see perfectionism in a whole new way. And as a bonus, enjoy the gentle backdrop of Australian birdsong while you listen.

#123 Where does Perfectionism come from? And why won’t it let go?

Når vi møder ting, der bøvler, ting, der kræver noget af os, eller når vi oplever modstand i livet generelt, er det let – og føles helt naturligt – at ryge op i vores intellekt for at forsøge at løse problemet eller få det til at gå væk. Og det er her analyse paralyse kan opstå.
Der findes dog andre måder at møde livet på. Måder, der er langt mindre energikrævende, og som kræver uendeligt meget mindre af os.

Lyt med, når vi – endnu engang – peger i retning af vores indbyggede visdom, som altid står til rådighed for os.

Podcasten er med psykolog Anne Stærk Dickenson og psykoterapeut Belinda Donkin.

90. De Tre Principper - Lider du af analyse paralyse?

Noget af det, der kan føles allersværest i livet, er at stå ved det, vi dybt inde ved er sandt. At lytte til den stille stemme indefra – og have modet til at udtrykke den, også når sindet larmer med frygt for, hvordan det vil blive modtaget af andre. Når vi ignorerer den indre visdom og forsøger at tilpasse os andres forventninger, mister vi kontakten til vores sande jeg – og begynder at føles os som fremmede i vores eget liv.
I dag peger vi i retning af, hvordan det er muligt at stå roligt i vores eget lys – forankret i noget dybere end tanker og forestillinger – og være tro mod det, vi i stilhed ved er sandt for os. Uanset hvordan det mødes i den ydre verden.

Podcasten er med psykolog Anne Stærk Dickenson og psykoterapeut Belinda Donkin.

91. De Tre Principper -  Er du tro mod dig selv?

Ali Saneei is a multidisciplinary artist and musician who creates underground and outsider music. He records most of his songs in real-time using a stream-of-consciousness approach, expressing raw and honest emotions while embracing imperfections. Through this process, he is building a digital world shaped by art and personal narratives.

De 3 Principper med Stærk & Donkin er en podcast serie, der formidler en helt ny psykologisk forståelse. 

Det er en serie for dig, der har lyst til at få skovlen under din angst, stress, depression eller overtænkning uden at skulle bruge viljestyrke eller kæmpe for det. Den er også for dig, der er nysgerrig på psykologi og bare gerne vil have mere glæde og lethed i livet.  

Du får ikke værktøjer, som du skal øve dig på eller strategier, som du skal huske. Faktisk er budskabet at du skal gøre meget mindre med din tænkning end du hidtil har gjort - og at netop det vil hjælpe dig med at finde tilbage til dig selv og få det godt igen. 

Psykoterapeut Belinda Donkin og psykolog Anne Stærk Dickenson tager dig med på en guidet tur og peger dig i retning af den naturligt indbyggede ro, glæde og psykiske sundhed, som altid er tilgængelig for alle mennesker. 
Du vil opdage, at der altid er håb - der er bare lige noget du skal få øje på først.

Læn dig tilbage, slap af - og glem alt hvad du hidtil har troet var årsagen til dine problemer og psykiske udfordringer.

Modern Day Overthinker is a podcast focused on topics less discussed in our society that should be. Most importantly, we talk about Mental Health.

Welcome to the Dr. Christian Heim Podcast. Here we will cover a variety of topics from mental health issues to interviews and talks. Some episodes are specifically made for the podcast, others come from live recordings of lectures and speaking engagements. Video footage of these events can be found on Dr Heim’s YouTube Channel. 

Dr Christian Heim is an award winning clinical psychiatrist and public speaker. His writings and public lectures reference medicine and music and cover a range of topics – the mental health crisis, neuroplasticity, the pleasure myth, the neurobiology of love, healthy relationships as a protective factor – but primarily focus on how to get the right DOSE of brain chemicals to help overcome 21st Century mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, suicide, trauma, personality disorders and addictions. Dr. Heim speaks from a place of deep compassion and authority. His talks all combine science, music and large doses of Australian humour.

Live with mental health, love, and compassion.

Music producer from Norway. Did start up Jenny`s Vision Project back in 2013. I like the hybrid aspect in music production.

I’m not a vocalist myself, so I get creative with how I bring vocals into my music. Hiring singers can be costly, and using pre-made samples often feels limiting. That’s why I explore AI-generated vocals—they let me keep things original, fresh, and uniquely my own.
