Have you ever noticed yourself backtracking as soon as you begin to finally make progress? I've often found myself sabotaging my own progress when I feel like I'm doing well, because my brain starts telling me that maybe I don't deserve to do well, or maybe I'm a fraud. Join me today as I chat a bit about this and about some tricks I've learned along the way to combat this!

Hold up, don't hate me - yes, in this episode I dare you to give up. But it's actually to challenge you to stop and reflect on your goals - are they truly YOUR goals? Or goals others have for you? Are you truly putting in the effort you should be? These are questions I've had to ask myself lately, so I thought I'd explore them with you too.

Today guest speaker Chris Trondsen and I discuss some of the darker realities of having ocd, specifically the comirbidity of depressive disorders and suicidality. Although this is a very heavy topic it is a very real struggle and talking about it and bringing more awareness are both two imperative steps to getting people the resources and help they need!

Oftentimes people settle in their recovery around the 70-75% mark. Life has gotten so much better so it's easier to ignore or accept the areas that ocd still has a hold of. Join me today as I explore the importance of working through this final stretch of recovery to live a life that is absolutely possible and so very worth it!

Many times people with OCD have a very hard time with change. We build up such routines around our compulsions and make sure to stay within what is comfortable and familiar within our lives. But experiencing change, especially unavoidable change, is an part of being human. Don't let OCD sabotage you during this time when you're already trying to adjust to your new normal - be patient with yourself and allow yourself to make mistakes. It's going to be okay and every change brings with it the potential of new adventure!

A lot of people struggle with the idea of who they are without their OCD - when all of the years of struggles, obsession, compulsions, and tears are pulled away, where does it leave them? Grieving the time and opportunities lost to OCD is a necessary part of recovery, but taking the time to see your worth and purpose aside from this disorder is extremely empowering and necessary for recovery!
