Show notes

In this episode, I talk about something that doesn't replace ERP, but actually makes it more effective: self-compassion. So many people worry that being kind to themselves will weaken recovery, let them off the hook, or make OCD worse. But the truth is that self-criticism often increases anxiety, reinforces the obsession cycle, and leads to more burnout and exhaustion.
