NOCD on More Life with Carl Radke

A lot of people doing the work on themselves hit a wall that they can't explain. They're sober, they're in therapy, they're putting in the effort, but there's still a thought that won't quit. What if I'm fundamentally broken and no amount of work will fix me? What if I can't trust my own mind? And no matter what you do to try to feel better, it just keeps coming back. For millions of people, that loop isn't a sign they aren't trying hard enough. It can actually be OCD. And most people never realize it. Not the organizing stereotype. Real OCD is persistent. It's unwanted, intrusive thoughts that feel totally out of character. Along with mental or physical behaviors, you feel driven to do to get relief. These thoughts can feel very real, which is what makes them so upsetting. But it doesn't have to be that way, because OCD is highly treatable with the right kind of specialized therapy. OCD needs ERP, or exposure and response prevention, which is proven to be the most effective treatment. And that's where NoCD comes in.
