Breaking Free from Fear & Anxiety with Matt Codde

Welcome back to another series of the OCD & Anxiety show which focuses on providing helpful tips and strategies to family members and loved ones of a person dealing with OCD & Anxiety. In this first episode, we are going to discuss the importance of taking care of yourself (as a family member or as a loved one) while supporting someone who is suffering from OCD and Anxiety.

When someone in your family has OCD, everyone in the family unit is usually impacted. It's natural to have a strong desire to help the person who is suffering from OCD, but often we forget that as family members we also have to meet our own needs. I’ve seen many cases, where the family is spending all their time and energy accommodating their loved one and they completely neglect themselves.

So in this first episode, allow me to share helpful strategies, tips and, WHY it is important for you to take care of yourself before anyone else.

In this episode, we are going to continue our series on Meditation and Mindfulness, and today we are going to focus on how to use Mindfulness for intrusive thoughts and unwanted thoughts.

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment in a nonjudgmental way. It involves our ability to consciously decide to embrace and accept what is currently happening, with our thoughts, our feelings, our bodily sensations, or our surrounding environment.

If you’re someone who wrestles with unwanted and intrusive thoughts it is tempting to try mindfulness to “fix” your thoughts. But in this episode, I want to help you understand mindfulness from a much higher perspective.

Remember that practicing mindfulness is in many ways about self-discovery and I hope that this new perspective, it can open up more opportunities for finding a higher level of inner peace.

In this episode, we are going to continue our series on Meditation and Mindfulness, and today we are going to focus on Mindfulness. Jon Kabat Zinn defines Mindfulness as paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally. A common roadblock I see many people who struggle with OCD & Anxiety run into is trying to use Mindfulness to cure OCD & Anxiety.

While both meditation and mindfulness can be very powerful tools for OCD & Anxiety recovery...when we try to use them to get rid of anxiety and thoughts it doesn’t work, so we get frustrated.

In this episode, I talk about how we can use mindfulness for OCD & Anxiety recovery without getting frustrated.

Enjoy.

In this episode, we are going to continue our series on Meditation and Mindfulness, specifically, how meditation and mindfulness can help you with your OCD recovery journey.

If you wrestle with OCD & Anxiety, meditation and mindfulness can feel particularly challenging because being present with OCD & Anxiety means being willing to experience intrusive thoughts and anxious feelings head-on.

However, when you practice mindfulness - rather than attempting to stop these intrusive thoughts or feelings by acting on compulsions - you begin to practice allowing those thoughts and feelings and viewing them as temporary impermanent guests.

I hope you find this series and I hope you begin practicing meditation and mindfulness so you find more inner peace on your journey.

Hey guys,

In this episode, we are starting a new series on Meditation and Mindfulness. To begin this series I am going to discuss the ‘voice in your mind’ and how it fuels OCD, Anxiety, and Psychological Stress.

I am going to be reviewing a short passage from the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and share some top insights from this book as well.

I hope this episode can help you gain a little more perspective on the ‘voice in your mind’ and how you can start interacting with it differently to build better mental health.
