Many people with OCD struggle with the fear of making mistakes. A big part of getting over this is in my experiences learning how to allow ourselves to make mistakes sometimes.
My view is taken from the work of Carol Dwek who pioneered the idea of having a growth mindset or fixed mindset. Struggling with OCD is very much about being caught up in a fixed mindset and learning how to loosen that up can be incredibly helpful. I hope you enjoy :)

What do we mean by OCD? Apart from the obvious, OCD can at times be quite mystifying. In today's episode we aim to take back control by demystifying OCD.
We do this by getting back to basics and really trying to understand what OCD is and how we can learn to deal with it better. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful.

Today's episode is all about counting compulsions and OCD. This is something that impact many different people and in different ways. Often people get so used to counting, that they almost forget that they are doing it. For other counting compulsions might be such a painful experience that it is all they can think about.
Often this type of OCD can get tied up with magical thinking and superstition. I discuss my take on counting OCD and share some ideas of how you might be able to take back control. I hope you enjoy.

To really be able to deal with OCD we have to have good understanding that OCD is not out to get us, but that it is a habit we have picked up over time. Understanding OCD is about knowing why we perform compulsions and how we can let go of this behaviour. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful.

Today I chat with wellness expert & meditation teacher Tom Cronin. Tom spent 26 years in finance markets as one of Australia’s leading bond and swap brokers. He discovered meditation in the early stages of his career, when the anxiety and chaos he was experiencing had hit a crisis point, and it completely transformed his world, both personally and professionally.
Founder of The Stillness Project, a global movement to inspire one billion people to sit in stillness daily, Tom is passionate about reducing stress and chaos in people’s lives. His ongoing work in transformational leadership coaching and corporate training has seen him working with some of the top companies in the world.
He has spoken on stage at conferences and events like Adnews Summit, Afest, Wanderlust and Mind Heart Connect. Tom has six books published, a meditation app and produced the hit film The Portal.
We relate the conversation to anxiety and OCD and how you can use meditation and wellness approaches to manage mental health effectively in the long term. I hope you enjoy. To find out more about Tom:
