Today I discuss the importance of taking small steps today in order to make big changes in the future. So often with OCD we are stuck believing that things have to be just right before we get started with changing things, only in my experience this can hold us back. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful.

Today I speak with Dr Karen Cureton about neural retraining and healing.
Dr. Karen Cureton is a licensed naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, passionate neuroplasticity practitioner, and co-creator of the Wired for Wellness program.
Through her own journey with complex chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and PTSD as well as from treating hundreds of patients with complex chronic illness, she realized the profound impact that stress physiology has on all aspects of health. By rewiring her brain and rebalancing her nervous system, she was able to free herself from anxiety, depression, PTSD, many physical symptoms and stress patterns.
She has since helped many clients do the same with diverse health issues, traumas, and self-sabotaging patterns. Dr. Cureton is now a firm believer that everyone with a chronic mental, emotional, or physical health issue will benefit from neural retraining, and in many cases it is critical to healing.
