Welcome to episode 405 of The OCD and Anxiety Podcast by Robert James Coaching. In this episode, we delve into the intricate relationship between perfectionism and OCD. Robert discusses how perfectionism, often linked to our inner critic, can hinder progress in managing OCD and anxiety.

Perfectionism can be a double-edged sword, sometimes motivating us but often holding us back. Robert explores how to recognize maladaptive perfectionism and adopt a healthier mindset. Drawing on insights from Dr. Robert Leahy and psychologist Carol Dweck, he highlights the importance of developing a growth mindset to overcome OCD-related challenges.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own limiting beliefs and inner critic, and to use practical strategies to create separation between themselves and these negative thoughts. By doing so, they can make meaningful progress in their journey to manage OCD and anxiety more effectively.
