#205 - It’s Time to Take Back Control: You’re Not a Passive Participant in Your OCD and Anxiety Recovery


Listen Later

This post is going to be a real tough moment for you if you've ever felt like a passive participant in your OCD and anxiety recovery, and just super stuck its grips. So, if you've ever felt like OCD, intrusive thoughts or anxiety is something that just “happened to you”, meaning it's something that you feel really powerless against. I want you to hang with me because I'm going to share a mindset shift that can change everything! You are not a passive participant in your OCD and anxiety recovery journey, and the more that we take action, the more power you take back. 


So today, I am going to explain what I mean and how you can start taking back control.


In this episode, we are going to be talking about:

  • Having OCD and anxiety is not your fault, but it is now your responsibility
  • How you can take back your power
  • How OCD and anxiety can pull you into a frustrating cycle
  • How you can (and should!) still do enjoyable things even though they have OCD and anxiety
