Understanding and learning how to manage compulsive behaviours and intrusive thoughts requires you to reflect and build your self-awareness, in order to better identify how to handle your situation.Compulsions often go hand-in-hand with conditions like obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) and can have a detrimental effect on your well-being if left unaddressed. In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’m talking about how to stop letting compulsions control you as well as how to overcome OCD and other challenges.
