In this episode Robert James explains the 'OCD gap'—the tendency to fixate on what’s missing—and contrasts it with the 'gain', the progress you’ve already made. He shows how shifting attention from perfectionism to past achievements helps reduce obsessions and compulsions.

This idea of “the gap” and “the gain” was first introduced by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy in their book The Gap and the Gain. I’ll be applying it here specifically to OCD recovery and showing how you can use it in your own life.

Practical tips include a daily habit of noting three things you did well and using that momentum to keep moving forward. Robert also mentions a 12-week coaching program and a free discovery call for those seeking extra support
