It takes conscious, consistent and creative effort to make a life worth living.
Have you ever felt trapped by your own thoughts? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Paul Mc Carroll, an OCD and anxiety specialist from Belfast, Ireland. Paul's story is both compelling and inspiring; once a patient struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, he now works as a mental health trainer in the very hospital where he received treatment.
His journey from patient to therapist offers a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with OCD or similar challenges. Paul and Eric dive into what OCD truly is, how it feels to live with it, and the various treatment options available. They explore the importance of community support and friendships in the healing process, and how balancing the desire for personal growth with acceptance of the present can be transformative.
Paul also shares his thoughts on the limitations of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the benefits of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He highlights the power of humor in managing difficult thoughts, choosing which thoughts to focus on, and expressing gratitude for the support of loved ones. If you or someone you care about is dealing with OCD, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
