Today I discuss the importance of feeling our emotions, something that I have certainly struggled with over the years. Little by little when we start to feel our emotions instead of pushing them down with compulsions, life starts to open up.

The OCD storm can feel overwhelming and like there is nothing to do fight back. It's when the obsessions are coming at us full tilt and we feel that we can't cope. In my experience there is plenty we can do in these situations to help ourselves and it's about building new habits in response to these triggers.
Today I discuss tools that can help you when in the midst of the OCD storm and how you can make these tools more habitual. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful.

In today's episode I discuss how to try and turn the negativity of OCD triggers into a positive by viewing them as an opportunity for exposure. This is an approach I use myself and I find it very helpful as it increases flexibility in relation to obsessive thoughts and can help us to deal with them in the moment, rather than pushing them away. I hope you find it helpful.

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.
