Why Anxiety Won’t Go Away (And What Actually Works) | CBT & EMDR Explained

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Dr. Thomas Whitfield — clinical psychologist, PhD in health psychology and clinical science, and someone who specializes in CBT and EMDR for anxiety and trauma.We go deep into anxiety disorders, trauma treatment, OCD, attachment styles, avoidance, and the systems that actually help people change. Thomas shares why he prefers working with anxiety over severe depression, how he approaches complex PTSD, and what makes EMDR such a powerful trauma therapy.We also talk about the personal side — his early experience caregiving after his mom’s brain surgery, developing OCD behaviors, years in therapy, and how that shaped the way he shows up as a psychologist today.If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, trauma triggers, overthinking, or feeling stuck in the same patterns — this one’s for you.And please make sure to follow/subscribe and share it with someone who struggles with anxiety, trauma, or OCD.Dr. Thomas Whitfield is a clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety disorders, trauma treatment, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
