How OCD Took Over J Aubrey’s Creative Process
from Get to know OCD
J Aubrey built a big following on YouTube for his deep-dive documentaries — but behind the scenes, his creative process was being hijacked by OCD. What looked like perfectionism to his viewers was actually hours of re-recording lines, re-editing scenes, and chasing a feeling that something finally “felt right.” The same mind that made him meticulous as a storyteller was also trapping him in endless cycles of anxiety and self-doubt.In this interview, J Aubrey opens up about how OCD nearly took away the thing he loved most — creating. He shares how therapy helped him break the compulsive patterns that controlled his work, what recovery really looks like, and how he’s learning to create with freedom again.J Aubrey credits Exposure and Response Prevention therapy for helping manage his OCD.
