Ep. 16 OCD Thought Loops


Listen Later

Have you ever been trapped in an OCD thought loop—overanalyzing intrusive thoughts, trying to logic your way out, only to get pulled in deeper? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share my personal journey through OCD, the science behind thought loops, and the proven strategies that helped me break free.

We’ll dive into:
 ✅ What OCD thought loops are and why they happen
 ✅ How OCD tricks your brain into compulsions
 ✅ The power of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
 ✅ Practical steps to disengage from intrusive thoughts and take back control

OCD doesn’t define you, and you can retrain your brain to stop giving these thoughts power. Tune in for insights, encouragement, and actionable steps to start your recovery journey.
