OCD can sometimes make us question if there is a part of us that is against us. In my experience this is not true and whilst we have an inner critic that likes to focus on doubts and uncertainties, I don't think it's helpful to believe there is a part of us that is against us.
That being said, if we aren't careful our negative thoughts can hold us back. With that in mind today's episode is about recognising the inner critic so that we can call out unhelpful thoughts and focus our attention on mor helpful things.

Today I discuss humour & OCD with comedian Andy Casper. It's a fun and interesting conversation where we discuss how we can use humour in a positive way to help us to overcome struggles with anxiety and OCD.
If you ever come to Barcelona be sure to look up Andy Casper to see his live comedy shows and perhaps you could give him a follow on Instagram, his handle is @andy_casper_comedian

Today I discuss whether or not OCD in all of its various types and flavours actually has ´cross over´ elements that all people who struggle with it will recognise. Sometimes we can feel so alone in our struggles as we may think that nobody understand 'my' specific OCD.
Although in some ways this could be true, nobody can truly understand your exact experience, but it could also be argued that there are many things that all people with OCD experience and today's podcast is all about shining a light on those similarities. I hope you enjoy & find it helpful.

Sometimes it can be hard to find the motivation on those more challenging OCD days. We may not want to focus on our values, exercise meditate or keep up with other habits that are supporting us, but on these types of day, perhaps even more than others, it's important that we do actually keep up with our positive habits.
With this in mind, today I discuss how to find motivation, even when you don't want to take action. I hope you find it helpful :)

In today's podcast I discuss the very real, but confusing contradiction of some seemingly positive things not actually being that positive at all and other seemingly negative things actually being quite helpful. It goes without saying that everything I'm talking about today is looked at through the lens of OCD and anxiety and helping us to see that even seemingly difficult and undesirable emotional states like anxiety can actually teach us something and help us to move forward in a new way in our lives. I hope you find it helpful :)
