Are you trapped in the exhausting cycle of Sensorimotor OCD (also known as Somatic OCD)? Whether you are hyper-aware of your swallowing, blinking, breathing, or heart rate, it can feel like pure torture—and most people simply don't understand why you can't "just stop thinking about it." In this video, I open up about my personal 10-year battle with Sensorimotor OCD and the specific shift in mindset that finally allowed me to break free. I explain why trying to get rid of the sensation is actually the trap that keeps you stuck, and how using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles can help you move these sensations into the background of your life. If you are looking for a way out of the storm of hyperawareness, this video explains the paradox of recovery: how allowing the discomfort is the key to finding peace.
