Today's episode is all about what to do when we find ourselves second guessing decisions, both large and small. The temptation in these situations is to go into the decisions and to to look for perfection. Decision making OCD can be very difficult to deal with, but you don't have to stay stuck in indecision. I hope you enjoy and find the episode helpful.

Is it a contradiction to talk about mindful obsessions? In my experience no, we can become much more mindful of our obsessions and in the process begin to transform them. I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions, then please let me know.

One of the questions I get asked a lot about OCD is 'because I've been struggling with OCD for so long, does that mean I'm always going to be stuck'?
It is of course a very negative question, but I totally get where it is coming from. Many people fear being stuck with OCD, like a sentence that they are going to have to serve out.
But in my experience, OCD really isn't like this. Yes, it is challenging, but at any point you can start to have a different relationship with it and when you do, it may surprise you how quickly OCD can begin to fall away.
We don't have to stay stuck at all and today's podcast is a hopeful episode where we take a look at how to overcome that feeling of stickiness. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful.

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.

In today's episode we explore this and find out more. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful.
