Unfortunately a lot of people simply do not have empathy for OCD, they just can't or won't understand it. In my experience, wasting time on why this is, is not helpful and it's much better to seek out people who do understand or who are at the very least willing to learn about OCD.
This doesn't mean that people who don't understand OCD are bad, it's just that it might be better to share about your OCD experiences with people who truly understand it, like a therapist, family member who gets it, trusted friends or other people you know who might struggle with similar things.
I hope you find it helpful :)

Today's episode is all about OCD & trust. When things started to change for me with OCD it's because I started to trust that things would work out ok in the end, that life has a plan and if I try to control and manipulate that too much, then I will continue to run into problems.
In my experience entrusting is learning to let go of control and to step out into the unknown, in doing so we realise that we are far more resourceful and competent than we perhaps give ourselves credit for.

Psychiatrist and researcher Dr Dan Siegel use a hand model of the brain to try to simplify and teach about the brains structures. Building on this, today I discuss the three basic levels of the brain, the brain stem or reptile brain, the mammalian brain or limbic system and the pre frontal cortex and how I believe they relate to some of the problems we face with OCD. I hope you find it helpful.

Today's episode is all about the frustration that comes up with OCD when we obsess about things despite knowing that on some level they don't make sense. Learning to accept this frustration as just another part of the OCD is important for managing OCD in the long term.

Today's episode is all about how you can deal with events that you are looking forward to, but which are giving you a lot of anxiety. This is actually called anticipatory anxiety and seems to be a big problem for people with OCD. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful :)

If we let it, OCD will drag our attention around to wherever it wants to go and in the process cause us a lot of anxiety and distress.

Yes perhaps you are really struggling with OCD, I certainly was, but I was also telling myself a very negative story, that I didn't have what I needed in order to overcome OCD. This was completely wrong and was actually holding me back. Today's episode is all about helping you to realise that you are enough already and that you have what it takes to overcome OCD. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful.
