In this episode, we explore the trance-like state that OCD can create, where individuals become fixated on their obsessions, blocking out other aspects of life. Using the analogy of a spotlight, we discuss how OCD causes people to shine intense focus on their problems, seeking certainty and solutions that are often elusive.
Learn how to shift this focus by embracing a broader perspective, or "floodlight," to illuminate all areas of life, rather than just the challenges. This shift allows for greater connection with the present moment, engagement with loved ones, and participation in valued activities, helping individuals break free from obsessive patterns and enhance their overall well-being
