In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic we don’t talk about enough: OCD. Not just the tidy house, lined-up labels kind of OCD, but the relentless rituals, the intrusive thoughts, and the anxiety loops that can steal your joy, your presence, and your peace.

We unpack how obsessive-compulsive disorder shows up in real life (not just the clinical definition), what therapy actually helps, and the surprising power of hypnotherapy. We share stories from real clients, including one man whose obsession with work was robbing him of time with his kids, until one subconscious shift changed everything.

You’ll also hear our honest take on CBT, what it’s good for, where it falls short, and why surface-level therapy might be the reason some people stay stuck.

If you’ve ever felt like your thoughts are in control instead of you, or you’ve caught yourself in a “harmless” routine that doesn’t feel so harmless anymore, this episode is for you.
