Hello and welcome to the OCD and Anxiety podcast with me, Robert James, a coach and somebody who's been through it too. In episode 629, Robert explains what to do in the first 10 seconds after an intrusive thought or trigger. He walks through why the instinct to immediately 'fix' the thought feeds OCD, and offers a practical approach: notice the trigger, tolerate the uncomfortable emotion, and gently refocus your attention toward valued activities. Learn how allowing uncertainty within those first moments can reduce OCD's power and help you respond more effectively over time
