Mental compulsions are invisible, but the exhaustion they cause is very real.
In this short and supportive episode, I’m speaking to the moments when your brain won’t switch off — when the looping, scanning, checking, ruminating and mental rehearsals feel like they’ve taken over.

You’ll hear:
✔️ Why mental compulsions are so exhausting
✔️ How OCD links certainty with safety
✔️ A gentle reframe to help you step out of mental checking
✔️ How to start reducing mental compulsions SAFELY.
✔️ A calm reminder that you’re not weak — you’re just exhausted from trying to feel safe

If you’re looking for deeper support around managing OCD, intrusive thoughts, or mental rumination, I share a bit about my OCD Action Plan course at the end of the episode.
