In episode 586 Robert James outlines five common recovery mistakes that keep people stuck: treating anxiety as a problem to be solved, turning recovery into a certainty project, using safety behaviours during exposures, arguing with OCD, and avoiding life until you feel ready. He draws on his own experience and practical examples to show how these habits maintain the cycle.
The episode offers simple, actionable shifts — drop compulsions, tolerate uncertainty, take values-led small steps, and focus on direction over destination — to rebuild confidence and move toward a life not driven by OCD
