In episode 578 Robert James explores a sneaky OCD compulsion: constantly checking your internal state—how anxious you feel, whether a thought is still there, or if you’ve handled it correctly. He explains how monitoring becomes a safety behavior that teaches the brain to treat uncertainty like a problem that must be solved.

Instead of trying to get perfect internal readings, Robert guides listeners to acknowledge intrusive thoughts and discomfort, allow them to be present, and intentionally refocus on values and meaningful activities. He offers practical steps to stop investigating every feeling and to build a new, automatic response to uncertainty.

Robert also shares information about his 12-week Break Free from OCD program and a free discovery call at robertjamescoaching.com for those who want structured support to reduce checking, drop safety behaviors, and rebuild their lives around what matters
