Have you ever been trapped in an OCD thought loop—overanalyzing intrusive thoughts, trying to logic your way out, only to get pulled in deeper? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share my personal journey through OCD, the science behind thought loops, and the proven strategies that helped me break free.
We’ll dive into:
✅ What OCD thought loops are and why they happen
✅ How OCD tricks your brain into compulsions
✅ The power of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
