In episode 416 of The OCD and Anxiety Podcast, host Robert James delves into the critical topic of embracing change and recognizing that transformation is possible. Feeling stuck can make it incredibly difficult to move past OCD, but by believing in change, we can motivate ourselves to take necessary actions.

Robert discusses how OCD often robs us of hope, creating cycles of doubt and powerlessness. By understanding this, we can counteract these feelings and start taking steps toward improvement. Whether it’s managing ruminations better or leaning into discomfort, the journey to overcoming OCD begins with finding that inner motivation.

Join us in this insightful episode to discover how to identify and set aside limiting beliefs, build momentum through small positive changes, and ultimately, live a more hopeful and empowered life. If you have any questions or need support, visit robertjamescoaching.com for a free session
