In this episode of "The OCD and Anxiety Podcast," we delve into the elusive and challenging topic of mental compulsions within OCD. Discover how these internal rituals can trick your mind into an addictive loop of seeking certainty and temporary relief, ultimately making it harder to break free from the cycle.

Join us as we explore practical strategies to shift your response to obsessive thoughts, focusing on action based on your values rather than trying to control or eliminate those thoughts altogether. Learn how postponing actions, reframing compulsions, and observing rather than reacting can help you regain control and build a life that isn't dictated by OCD.

Whether you're dealing with pure OCD concerns or finding yourself stuck in mental loops, this episode provides valuable insights and tips to help you move towards acceptance and take back the reins of your life. Tune in for guidance on recognizing the OCD cycle and empowering yourself in the face of anxiety. Together, let's break the cycle of disempowerment and embrace a fulfilling life
