Manifesting. Cleanses. The Law of Attraction. Jaclyn Steinmann tried it all, believing that if she could just control her thoughts — keep them positive and “high vibration” — she could finally quiet the chaos in her mind. But the more she chased perfect thinking, the worse her OCD got.
In this interview, Jaclyn shares how popular self-help and spiritual practices didn’t just fail to help — they fed her OCD. Real change didn’t begin until she let go of those ideas and started evidence-based treatment like ERP. This is her journey, and what she’s learned through trial, error, and research.
If you feel you’ve tried everything and nothing’s worked, you’re not alone. Like Jaclyn, many people with OCD don’t see real progress until they start evidence-based treatment. At NOCD, our therapists specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention, the gold standard for OCD care. To learn more, book a free 15-minute call at https://learn.nocd.com/YT
