Why Do I Do That? Understanding the OCD Loop

from Why Do People Do That? · host Stacy Pellettieri, LCSW and Heather Harten. LCSW

In this episode, Brady joins the show to ask a deceptively simple question: “Why do I do that?”  What unfolds is an honest and deeply personal conversation about obsessive thoughts, compulsions, and the OCD loop that shows up in more areas of life than we often realize. Brady shares his lived experience, the patterns he found himself stuck in, and the powerful realizations that began to shift his awareness. Together, we explore the importance of self-inquiry, understanding the “why” behind our behaviors, and how awareness can become the first step toward growth, healing, and real change. A courageous and relatable episode for anyone navigating mental health, self-awareness, or the journey of personal growth.  Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhyDoPeopleDoThat   Visit our website: https://whydopeopledothat.com/   If you'd like to contact Stacy and Heather or learn more about their practices, visit the following sites: Long Island Counseling Services - www.longislandcounselingservices.com District Support Services - www.districtsupportservices.com  ADHD Training Center - www.adhdtrainingcenter.com     Follow the "Why Do People Do That?"
