Robert James explains the cruel irony that when you begin to improve from OCD, intrusive thoughts and anxiety can temporarily increase — not because you’re failing but because the habit of OCD resists change. He shares the three-step approach: acknowledge thoughts, tolerate the anxiety, and redirect attention to the present and your values, and warns against monitoring and checking that can trigger compulsions.
He normalizes ups and downs, encourages persistence through setbacks, and outlines how progress looks like moving forward despite occasional flare-ups. He also mentions a 12-week support program with one-to-one coaching, group sessions, meditations, videos and worksheets for those who want structured help.
