Welcome to episode 441 of The OCD and Anxiety Podcast with Robert James Coaching. In this episode, we delve into one of OCD's most compelling tricks—the illusion of control. For those struggling with OCD, the cycle of compulsions often offers a deceptive sense of relief. However, this short-term fix only keeps you trapped in the cycle.

Discover why focusing on long-term resilience rather than short-term comfort is essential for breaking free from OCD's grip. Learn about the concept of the "choice point" from Acceptance Commitment Therapy and how choosing courage over comfort can lead to true freedom. Robert shares personal insights and introduces two powerful techniques: postponement and values check-in, designed to help you build resilience and align your actions with your values.

Join us as we explore how to make choices that reflect who you want to be, ultimately reclaiming your freedom from OCD. For more tools and strategies, visit Robert's YouTube channel and website. Embrace the journey towards a life defined by your values, not your fears.
