Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, we explore the experience of OCD, beginning with clear definitions and common myths that often mislead people about this paralysing disorder. We discuss how obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors interact, and how shifting our relationship with worrying thoughts can bring psychological flexibility and relief. We cover some practical strategies to build greater tolerance of uncertainty and break free from the compulsive cycle which characterises OCD. As always, this episode is rooted in our own insights as clinicians and grounded in evidence-based therapeutic approaches. This podcast is not a substitute for mental health advice or treatment. People are advised to reach out to a qualified healthcare provider should they need medical advice, counselling, and/or therapy regarding the matters that are discussed in this podcast.
