In this enlightening episode, we explore the complexities of OCD through the lens of a unique metaphor: the Velcro suit. Discover how visualizing OCD as a Velcro suit in a storm of feathers can help make sense of intrusive thoughts and compulsions. This metaphor provides clarity, showing how our minds attach meaning to thoughts and how we can learn to let go.

Join us as we delve into actionable strategies for managing OCD, from standing still to let the 'wind' carry thoughts away, to reframing our perceptions and softening the Velcro. Learn how walking towards the storm rather than away can empower you to face your fears head-on.

With practical tips and personal insights, this episode is designed to help you feel more in control and less overwhelmed. Tune in to gain a fresh perspective on handling OCD and discover how to reduce its power over your life
