In this episode Robert James speaks with Anna, a psychotherapist and associate coach who shares her lived experience of OCD from early childhood through recovery. She explains how OCD showed up in checking rituals, how training in therapy and approaches like acceptance, ACT and exposure helped, and how coaching and structured support can provide practical tools for lasting change.
Anna offers simple, actionable advice: take one small step toward help, label intrusive thoughts as OCD, practice tolerating uncertainty, and use structured support to reclaim freedom and rebuild life around your values
