Book your free session directly through my Calendly, visit: www.robertjamescoaching.com

In today's podcast I talk about some of the hidden benefits of OCD. Now this might sound like I'm talking complete nonsense, how can there be any benefits to OCD right? But bear with me please as in my experience there really are.

I hope you enjoy and find it helpful.
